Nex’s POVIt was night time as I walked in the dark halls of the hospital, surveying the area. I didn’t know why, but something felt dangerously off as I walked into these dark corridors. Almost as though there was something here that shouldn’t be. But what?A strange sound reached my ears, as I tur
“Do you want to talk about the dream you had?” Beowulf asked me. “If it’s bothering you, it may do you some good to talk about it. Unless, of course, if it’s too painful to even think about.”He had an odd expression when he said that last part. Almost like he was the one in pain from the thought.I
“Just to be sure again, are you sure you don’t want to stay the night at my place instead? I can ask Kora to turn the car back around and get us,” Beowulf asked me, for the third time tonight.“Beowulf, it has been a long day. Longer and more stressful than any I have had to go through. I much rathe
***Beowulf’s POVI stood at the doorway, watching as Nex walked into her apartment, without so much as spared me a glance. I grew extremely worried about her after how she reacted to my question about telling the kids about me. She looked so frightened. Devastated, even. Quite like when she found o
Nex’s POVAfter a bit of embarrassing time of crying on Beowulf, I went to my room to get dressed into some comfortable clothes. Beowulf stayed in the twins’ room, wanting to watch over them for a bit as they slept. While I still feared the possibility that he may take the kids away, I at least had
Hearing her say these things, it just came to my mind that I never told Miss Georgia about what was going on earlier. In fact, I never sent that response to the message she was talking about. I wrote it, but never did hit that ‘Send’ button.“That’s… actually a long story,” I began. “It may take the
“Yes. Yes, they’re okay. Yes. Thank you for your time and understanding, Principal.”I was on the phone with Hailey and Helix’s school to inform them of the twins’ absence for the day. With everything that went on yesterday, I had doubts that even Helix would be able to go about the day as usual. Th
I knew this was her roundabout way of telling me to skip out on my nurse job today, spend the day in the cafe with my kids, and even work here if I were to feel restless. Honestly, she truly is too kind.“I appreciate the thought, but I think I’ll do my work at the hospital. I don’t want to trouble
“Nex… I have something to confess to you,” he said, raising more of my confusion, which then turned to fear. Did something happen while I was away for two years? Beowulf licked his lips for a moment, moisturizing them with his saliva, before continuing to speak. “I… In these past two years, I couldn
Nex’s POVWith the interrogation done, Helio and I made our way back to Beowulf and Helix, holding hands as we walked. The questions weren’t so difficult; just asking about how I was treated, what was Helio’s connection with the mafia and his life there, and what our connection was. All I was worrie
“If you can believe that, then yes.” I grew even more lost by the response, in which she seemed to have noticed. “Beowulf, a lot has happened in this kingdom while we were gone. One of them being Drake and Garon’s… relationship. So to say.”“How do you mean?” I questioned.“Well… They’re close, you
Nex’s POVI wasn’t sure what happened or why… One moment, Zeke appeared with Helix in his hold, threatening to take his life. The next we knew, he killed Raiha, and gave her as much comfort as he could in her passing. “Mom!” I was snapped out of my stupor upon hearing Helix call for me, as I turned
“Dad is already on his way to Mom, isn’t he? If they see him with me, they will think that mafia leader won. Even the leader will think that, if she is that crazy for revenge. And she will definitely try something horrible to Mom and Dad, without having to worry about what they will do. If he brings
Zeke’s POVHow do I feel about what just happened? About what I just did. I doubt it would be pride; what was there to be prideful about in this situation?I was just standing in the woods, with a gun in my hand, and one of my target in my other hand. One look at the situation before me- of Raiha co
“You already had a destined mate. Only you used him as a tool he wasn’t. Took advantage of his love for you,” I pointed out, causing her to flinch at the reminder. “As if that wasn’t enough, you tried to kill a fellow werewolf just to get what you want. You let your own father- a respectable Alpha-
Beowulf’s POVAfter I briefly met with the captain and told him that I knew where Raiha went, I left the matter of the hideout to him and his team, who arrived not long after we did. At first, he tried to either get me to stay or join me to get Raiha, but I managed to convince him otherwise. Tell hi
At first I wasn’t able to process the words that came out of her mouth. Not with the pain I was experiencing. However, slowly, I caught on to the meaning behind it, and looked up at her. “W-Wait… You promised… you wouldn’t hurt them!” I managed to shout.“Only so long as you be live feed for the bra
