Nex’s POV“Nex, can you help give Clarissa her shot today?”“Yes, of course. Late afternoon, right?”“Nex, it’s almost time for Mr. Gregor’s lunch. You know you’re the only one who can feed him without him going off.”“A bit rude, saying that about a patient, but I understand, Lorence.”“Nex, do you
I didn’t know nor understand why we were in the same bed, much less why I was in the state I was in. What I did recall, however, was trying to get a blanket for Beowulf, when I fell off the chair I was standing on, and fell into his arms. I recalled panicking a bit, not feeling at all comfortable be
Even though Beowulf asked if we could chat- in which I agreed to- rather than talk, the two of us just stood in the storage room, listing down all the supplies we have in silence. Though I was a little relieved that we have a bit of distance between us, being in the same room as him was still a litt
Beowulf looked at me funny when I said that. “‘Scared’?”“Even if you tell me you won’t abandon me again, I am scared a time will come when I will be left alone. That something will happen that will make you leave me. Make our kids leave me. You know I came here for a fresh start, to not feel discri
“Are we really going to Daddy’s big company?!” Hailey asked in excitement, as I tried to get her dressed up nicely.“Yes, Hailey, that is exactly what I said last night, didn’t I?” I answered.“Calm down, Hailey. If you keep getting that excited, we’ll stand out,” Helix said, already dressed for the
Beowulf got a little shocked by the questions and answered, “What? A father can’t get something nice for his kids?”“This just feels like a trap of sort.”At that, it did not take long for him to realize why his son was saying these things, as he sighed and gently let Hailey down to the floor. “Okay
As soon as Beowulf called for the party to begin, many employees in the room cheered in agreement to the call, and shifted into their werewolf forms, howling in delight. Not only that, but lights were turned off in the room, with the disco ball turned on and music being played for the party atmosphe
“Shall I give an order to apprehend him?” Zeke asked, already taking his phone out.I turned to him at the question, my mask hiding my shock. “‘Apprehend’, Zeke? Despite what we do to our dear ‘customers’ and ‘temporary helpers’, we are not some mindless savages. We are not some group of bloodthirst
“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
