NATHAN

I stood in the reception area of the media corporation where we'd just concluded the damned interview, with a cup of coffee in one hand and my phone in the other.

The blasted place was teeming with reporters, some of whom had several questions about me. The interview had ended up not revealing any of the things they all wanted to hear. Some juicy secret or news about the eclectic billionaire.

I held the cup of coffee an intern had handed to me and took a sip with a hard look on my face. Said intern had even asked for photos with me. I'd obliged, even though I didn't do the picture thing. I was very much unhappy with how fast the news of Faye's pregnancy had spread.

One would think Maya's hospital was also impervious to the personal status of the patient being leaked.

When Nadia had mentioned having that piece of information, I'd seen red.

Who was it that thought they could get away with giving away my secrets that way? Information I needed to be kept private and away from

    NATHANNo.I wasn't sure I'd heard right. What the hell?"Lannon's healing ability has slowed down. He won't be able to heal like a normal werewolf. He'll heal slower.," She replied, avoiding my eyes.I stood up and paced a little. Was this even possible? I tried to make some sense of it, but I couldn't."Elaborate." I ground out. Zelda glanced down the hall. We were in the living room, close to where Lannon was. In different circumstances, I was sure he'd hear us. "He's out." I told Zelda. We'd left him in the room for him to get some rest, so I was sure he'd be sleeping."I think the wolfsbane did something to him. It was in his system for too long. I'm guessing that there are some leftover wolfsbane particles in him." She explained, crossing her arms."I thought that rare herb of yours cured him. Zelda, the herb was supposed to heal him of everything. That's what you said, wasn't it?" I asked. What was the point of getting the herb if it didn't cure him?"The herb didn't exact

    FAYEBeep. Beep. Beep.What was that annoying sound? I tried to open my eyes, but it felt as if they weighed a ton. Beep. Beep. Beep.The sounds continued repeatedly, pulling me from the darkness. What was it? I'd heard them before, and not too long ago. I forced my eyes open and immediately regretted it. My eyes felt as if they were within two feet of the sun. The lights blinded me, making me dizzy and causing my head to ring.I closed my eyes and waited for a while to open them. The dizzying you have rush of light from the first time cleared from my eyes and I finally managed to peel them open. I blinked twice before my eyes got used to the light. I looked around my surroundings and saw that I was in a way too familiar hospital room. I was back in the hospital. With the white walls and ceilings and grey hospital gowns. Was this Maya's hospital?What happened? I thought to my self. I closed my eyes and tried to remember what happened to me and how I got here.I remembered the

    NATHANI'm stunned by the venom in Faye's voice. And the look of cold bitterness in her eyes. She's never looked at me like that. Spoken to me with that tone of voice. She'd caught me by surprise. This fight I was seeing in her for the first time made me more than a little worried. Had she really wanted a baby that badly?It left me standing there, stricken by her words. Tears rolled down her face as she continued to lash at me in a choked voice. "You've killed my baby. You monster! You won't let me be till you've taken everything and left me out to wither. I hope you're happy now! You've finally gotten what you so badly wanted. Murderer!"The door opened and someone stepped in. I could tell from her smell that it was Maya. She stood close behind me before she went to Faye and placed an arm on her shoulder. Faye flinched away in disgust and anger. It was written plainly on her face. What she thought of us. What she thought of me. "Don't you dare touch me!" She yelled at Maya, her

    NATHANSleep eluded me. Every sound out in the night's dark woke me from sleep. My hearing shot to anything and everything that moved, that made a sound. Like a newly turned werewolf who didn't know yet how to control their abilities.Even the whisper of the wind through the windows was a disturbance. I flipped the blanket off me with an annoyance, and marched to the window, banging it shut. And then I leaned against the windowpane and sighed with deep tiredness and regret. Recriminations still lingered in my head.I'd decided I would let Faye be, and then have Ernouf pick her up from the hospital tomorrow morning. I couldn't send Carolyn for sure, and I knew Faye didn't have any animosity towards Lannon, but he was out of the count. So that only left Ernouf. He'd do it.The girl would have to come back here. This was the only place she knew. And I was the only one who would accept her. My treatment of her had not been stellar perhaps, but it would be different now. Maybe I'd mak

    NATHAN I stared hard at him. "She wasn't in her room?" "She wasn't in the hospital when I got there, Alpha Nathan." Ernuof replied. "What did you do then?" I asked him."We searched the hospital, Alpha Nathan, but we couldn't find her. She's gone missing." He repeated as if I hadn't heard him the first time."Who's we, Ernouf?" I asked him."I and the security staff of the hospital." He answered.It wasn't as if I didn't trust Ernuof. I just wanted to have a clear idea of what had happened when he got to the hospital. "Let's go." I said, walking to the door.''Go where?" Ernuof following close behind. "Back to the hospital." I said, pulling open the door.Ernouf pulled up at the entrance of the hospital some sixteen minutes later. It was a twenty minutes drive but I'd asked him to step on it. I got out and headed straight to the elevator. I got in and punched in Maya's floor number.The ride on the elevator took forever before it finally stopped. I stepped out and walked to M

    NATHANAt first, I thought Faye had to be still be in the hospital. But when we searched throughout the hospital and the grounds, we couldn't find her. I became more alert when I realized this really wasn't just one of the now occasional events where Faye was just somewhere close while I thought her missing. Where I knew for sure I would find her in no time. It was looking more like she actually put some thought into this one. I had to be more thorough. I had the help of most of the pack and some security personnels from the hospital as we combed through the acres of land around the hospital, went through shops, cafes and even the motels. Nothing. Faye wasn't anywhere near here, it seemed. And I couldn't randomly start a search in the whole of Manhattan for her.I was seething by the time we all went back to the pack house. I sat in the study with Lannon, Carolyn, Zelda, Ernouf and–Maya.She had some explaining to do. I pretended some nonchalance while I waited for the chatter t

    A day before…FAYEHe was gone. He had finally left me alone, promising to send someone to pick me up tomorrow morning. I pulled myself up from the floor and sat on the bed. My heart felt so heavy with the pain and loss of my baby. I lay down without jostling the drip attached to my wrist.I felt weak and in pains. My body should be used to it by now, but it wasn't. I buried my face under the pillow and wailed.I stayed under the pillow for long, even when I'd calmed down enough to stop crying.My breath came in short pants. It took me a great deal of effort to regulate my breathing and breathe properly. I couldn't do this anymore. I pushed the pillow away and sat up on the bed. I stared out the window and saw that the sun had set.I was tired of going back to Nathan and having everything repeat itself. I always begged him for something and he'd deny me that. He denied me love, human affection and attention, and now he'd denied me my baby. And then it goes on and on. An endless loo

    FAYEI walked into the coffee shop with false bravado. Maybe if I looked confident enough, they wouldn't know how low my qualifications for any job were.I hadn't finished high school, neither had I gone to college. Looking at the coffee shop with its scuffed booths by the right far corner, and the round tables and stools in the middle of the diner, I didn't think someone needed a college degree to work there.I stopped by the counter, and the lady standing behind it looked up at me.She was wearing a t-shirt over blue jeans and she had a white apron tied on top. Her nails looked garish with the red nail polish on them. "What can I get you?" She asked, opening a box on the black countertop in front of her. "Um.. I saw the sign outside and wanted to know if you were still hiring." I replied, my fingers twitching nervously by my sides. "Hey, Charles, the new help is here." She shouted out to someone. The new help? Was that me? But I hadn't even had an interview. She hadn't asked for

    Faye"Yvonne, this place is too much." I glanced around the fully decorated condo, my excitement simmering with the idea of this space being mine to do with as I please.The place is amazing. More than I could have hoped for, and I’ve only made it to the living room. There is a huge fireplace and a big soft gray sectional sofa that looks fluffy and comfortable. Big pillows line most of it and it looks so cozy. There is light everywhere, shining in from the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over Vegas."That place is perfect." she told me on the phone."The security is top notch.You can order food whenever you want and they have a gym and a spa downstairs. Everything you need with only a call.""It’s safe," she pushed. "You could come stay with me if you’d prefer. I’d love to have you at home, but I thought you might want your own place."I'd started my post graduate studies, this time nearer to home and I'd gotten a whole condo to stay in for the duration of my studies.

    TWO MONTHS LATERFAYEI sat in front of Yvonne as she explained the dynamics of our business relationship with some other company.I wasn't listening to her. I was mostly just nodding, so she could continue to speak. "Faye? Faye? Are you listening?"I sighed and nodded, not knowing how to tell her what bothers me. "Faye tell me. You know you haven't spoken a lot about what happened in that forest with the Black Saint. I can't believe you went in there without letting me know." She still spoke of it frequently with anger l, but she was beginning to forgive me. It wasn't everyday a person's niece went to the forest of lost souls and made it out alone. I sighed again and she scolded me angrily."That's the fifteenth sigh today, fifteenth, and it's not even mid morning yet. Why do you sound like you lost a loved one, my dear?""Maybe cause I did lose a loved one?"I told her, my face falling as I remembered said loved one again. "Is this about Nathan?"I looked at her and nodded. I c

    NATHANThe witch died how she had planned for me to die. A fitting end for someone who'd come with the sole aim of destroying me. Faye massaged her wrists where those damn fools must have tied her up before. I moved to her and held both her wrists in my hands, caressing them softly, so that the ache could go away.She wasn't responding to me. She just stood there, stiffly by my side. I looked into her face and I couldn't read anything.I missed the days when I would look at her face and see what she was thinking, what she was feeling. "Won't you go after him?" Faye asked, pointing in the direction Axel had run in. I shook my head. "Lannon will take care of him."Her mouth dropped open. "Lannon is here too?""Yes, Queeny. He entered the forest the night before we did.""I can't believe you have been lying to me this whole time. About everything!" She screamed in a hurt tone, stepping away from me. I rushed to her, brushing her still wet hair from her face and cupping her face in

    FAYE"Briggs was my sister and you killed her!" she yelled, her voice rising on each word until my ears felt scraped by her shrill tone.Nathan looked bored with the whole thing. He didn't look as bothered by the fact that we were in danger, surrounded by our enemies who had upper hand."So that's why you want to destroy my pack so bad. Well I can't say I'm sorry, Vera. Your sister messed with the wrong pack, just like you're doing now, and she got what she deserved, just like you will." He said, with finality behind his words. She growled and screamed unfamiliar words at him, her magic sending him flying into the concrete wall. I winced as he landed with his arm and felt myself go weak for a second.I was still finding it an ordeal watching Nathan get hurt. It was a lot. "I guess we're done here."Axel said and shifted back from Vera."You can take care of them sweetie, do whatever you please."Vera smirked and strolled around to me.I saw Nathan's body tighten and get ready for a

    FAYEMy heart broke at his words and I felt like a sham at his words. I'd believe I could be Luna because both Yvonne and Axel has stood by me and encouraged me. And now he said this?"Imagine my surprise when after years of devotion to the pack, Yvonne went in search of a daughter I had never heard about. A daughter that had never been around. I was passed over for you?" He said like he still couldn't believe it. "It's a fucking joke, my sweet." I felt sick at the stupid endearment.Tears formed in my eyes and I pressed them closed tightly.I knew Nathan's focus was on me, he would go ballistic of I cried. I wanted to hear all of it.No, I needed to hear everything."I didn't want Yvonne to go looking for you, prayed to the moon goddess that she didn't find you, but guess what? She did. Because this dumbass Buffon,"he said, pointing at Nathan, "threw you out. He couldn't even love you properly then and you still went back to him when you returned home. After all I'd done for you.

    FAYEI was sitting in a chair with my arms tied down to the arms of the chair when I came to.The black bag over my face was still there, but it wasn't tight around my face anymore.I tried to look through it but all I could see was little light, peeking at me through the bag.All of a sudden the bag was yanked off my head and I found myself looking at Axel. I felt elated that I'd found him, but I also felt angry about what he'd done. And why did he send people to kidnap me?"Axel," I started.He raised a hand, cutting me off. "it's not just you I need to talk to. I want to talk to your lover too. I wonder what could be holding him back. Does he not love you as much as you think he does, perhaps?"I snorted and his gaze flashed with annoyance."Or maybe he's content to abandon you here. Not even bother coming to get you."I glared at him and said nothing.Axel laughed. "Well, either way, we've got more than enough time together. But first, I think your friend is going to want to mee

    NATHANThere was a tinkle of laughter in the air when I woke up.The sound was pleasant to my ears and made me ache to find the owner of the laugh.My eyes slid open and rested on Faye. Something was making her happy this morning.I could relate too, cause I felt really happy too. Despite everything that had happened yesterday, it was great to see that we were okay.In fact, we were more than okay. We had finally talked about the part of me that I'd always locked away, never wanted to talk about with anyone, or show anybody.She giggled again, looking up at something I couldn't see and I had to ask her. "Heyy, Queeny." I said, wondering how she'd react this time to the nickname she was always irritated by. "Heyyy." She replied, not really paying me much attention. There was an excitement to her movements though, and a wide smile on her face. I could watch her smile all day, or just listen to her laugh and feel good when the day ended. "What are you doing?" I asked her.Not to

    FAYEI held his bandaged hands in my hands. He'd scared the hell out of me when he had run out on me like that. I couldn't believe what I had heard. He'd said Dad, and then he'd started calling out mother.I didn't know what he'd been seeing but it sure felt very intense from where I had witnessed it.There was no one else in the forest except for me and Faye, everything else was false. I told myself repeatedly, trying to quell the worry I had now. What if I was the problem that needed to be stopped?What if I saw things just as clearly as Nathan had?I shook my head and refused to fall for it. "We need to keep moving." Nathan said to me and I agreed.We had to leave that area. We had both taken a drink of the potion now, and nothing more could happen to us for a few more hours.It was getting dark now. I didn't know if this was an effect of the forest magic or something else but we had to rest. We stopped and collected wood for a fire together.We stacked the wood and then s

    NATHANI'd scared her badly.For her to have cracked and spilled those tears in front of me.She was so icy now, I doubted she ever cried infront of anyone.I had felt something change between us. She wasn't saying anything now, just walking stiffly beside me. I looked ahead, raising tree branches that hung low so that both of us could make our way through.We trudged on, the low bushes and weeds brushing against our thighs and lower legs.The roots that were off the ground were not easy to spot, and almost brought her down twice, with me reaching out to steady her and getting rebuffed each time.I could take that.For now. I would take it until she didn't want to throw me off anymore. Couldn't reject me.I walked around a tree and her eyes followed me sharperly, showing me she was watching me, even though she pretended not to be. I chuckled to myself, coming out onto the path we were walking.Something felt eerily quiet about the forest.It wasn't just that I already knew it was
