Hunter I paced around the hallway impatiently as I waited for the doctors to come out and give me feedback on Helene's well-being.I decided to bring her to my quarters, and I even went as far as inviting the best doctors in the pack to come to check up on her, figure out the source of the injury on her head that kept bleeding, and also treat the deep knife wound on her arm.I originally planned on letting her be taken to the public infirmary to get treated. I suddenly had a change of mind when I remembered that the doctors might not be able to respond to her quickly, and I didn't want any more time to be wasted because she had already lost a lot of blood.Earlier, while I was bringing her here, I was trying hard not to show her that I was very worried about her because I didn't want to create a misunderstanding between us and make her think that I cared about her, but for some reason, I found myself being unable to hide my concern, and I said things to her that could have created sl
HeleneThe first thing I noticed as soon as my eyes flew open was the white ceiling, which was very unfamiliar to me.I also noticed when I was lying on a very comfortable bed, and for the first few sentences, I didn't remember what happened or how I got here.It wasn't until I calmed down to think about how I could have gotten here that I remembered everything that happened in the prison that I was in and how that idiot Alpha carried me to a place that I didn't recognize.I struggled to sit up because my eyes were blurred and my head felt like it would roll off my head if I didn't move it slowly.I could feel the bitter taste in my mouth, which confirmed to me that I was probably given some sort of treatment, and that should explain why I had this bitter taste in my mouth and also why my head felt like it was going to disconnect from my neck any second from now.I took my time to take a look at the room, and even though huge bedrooms are usually not a huge surprise to me because of w
Hunter I arrived at Brenda's quarters to see her and speak to her as Damon and Aurora suggested. Still, upon arriving at her place, I was told by her guards that she wasn't home and that she had left the fortress about two hours ago without taking any of her bodyguards with her.I found it very weird that she would leave without talking to me first because she usually always tells me before leaving, and I also found it weird that she didn't take any of her guards with her.I didn't have any issues with her leaving to see someone because she definitely had friends outside the fortress, and she was very much allowed to go into town and see whoever she wanted to see, but I appointed guards for her because I knew that she could get in danger while she's out there, and I didn't want anything bad to happen to her.Everybody in the pack knew that she and I were together, and I didn't want a situation where she would be kidnapped or attacked because of her relationship with me. That is why I
Hunter "She's awake," Aurora announced as soon as she walked in, and I didn't even realize that I was holding my breath until I let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that Helene was awake.I wasn't aware that Aurora had gone to check up on her until I suggested to Damon that we should go see her together, and that was when he informed me that Aurora had gone to see her already and that she'd be back soon.I was curious to hear what Aurora would think about her because Damon already sees her in a positive light, and I doubt he's going to see her any differently. I also wanted to know if Aurora was going to have a different opinion about her than I did.I didn't exactly hate her or anything extreme like that, but I don't understand why Damon seemed to be so supportive of her when the only thing that she had said to him was rude.I just think that she's a very rude person who needs to tone it down, and I also think that she's unnecessarily proud."How is your condition looking to you? D
Helene I hate it here.I finally woke up for the second time, feeling a lot better and a lot less dizzy, and the first thing I did when I realized that I was no longer having dizzy spells was to try to go outside the room to check out the place that I was, but unsurprisingly, I was stopped by a guard as soon as I got to the door, and he instructed me to get back inside and wait for the Alpha's visit. I hated the fact that I had to sit here and wait because it was getting very suffocating, and after being restricted from enjoying the sunlight for weeks, I wanted a chance to walk around and just remember what it felt like to just walk under the sun and to also have the wind blowing in my face.I felt tired all in all, but at the same time, I was also feeling eager.The impulsive choice I made earlier today could either cost me my freedom for the rest of my life or become my only hope of actually getting my freedom back.I was currently trying to stay positive, but knowing very well th
HunterI clenched and unclenched my fists in anger as I waited patiently in front of Brenda's quarters.I was currently fuming as I waited for her to get back here, and knowing what was going to happen as soon as she arrived, I excused her guards and servants, giving them a two-hour break so they wouldn't be there to witness when I went off on Brenda.The video that Damon showed me earlier was a video of Brenda arriving back from where she went, and when I saw it, I immediately knew that Brenda had left back, and judging by how she seemed very cautious not to get caught, I could already guess who she went to see, and it immediately made me furious that she had left without telling me she was headed there.I can't remember the last time I've been in a situation where I was this mad at Brenda because I always try to control my anger around her, even when she does things that get on my nerves, and I also tend to dismiss anything that relates to her because of our relationship.In this ca
Brenda"I can't believe that idiot, Keisha! I cannot believe that he's capable of doing this to me!" I hissed in frustration, picking up the object closest to me and throwing it around.After my conversation with Hunter, I felt even more frustrated and upset because I didn't think that he was going to be mad at me for leaving without telling him, and I didn't expect him to react to me like that.Before the argument that we had earlier, I was trying to keep my mind positive by telling myself that he hadn't changed and that he had a reason for behaving this way, but after what happened between us right now, I was starting to think that I could no longer trust that he had everything under control, and if I keep being patient, I'll end up losing him."Okay, calm down, Brenda, and explain everything to me. What exactly did Hunter say to you that made you so upset?" Keisha asked."If I'm being honest with you, it's not really about what he said to me, but it's how he reacted. He somehow fou
Hunter I was feeling very nervous about walking into the room because I knew that I needed to have a serious conversation with Helene but I wasn't sure how to start a conversation with her without it leading to an argument between us. Damon told me earlier that he had already spoken to her and that she was expecting me to show up but I didn't go to her immediately because I was in a bad mood after my conversation with Brenda and I didn't want to transfer the aggression to her because it would only make things worse between her and I. I just wanted to know exactly what she wanted, and I also felt like I needed to explain myself to her so that she could understand where I was coming from and also try to relate to my reasoning. I know it won't be easy having a proper conversation with her because she is a hot head, and so am I, but I was going to bring myself down to her level and just put aside the fact that I'm an Alpha. I knocked on the bedroom door softly, wanting to check firs
Helene "You know, you should be thanking me instead of hitting me," Dre said, causing my frown to deepen, and I scoffed. "Are you out of your damn mind? Did you happen to hit your head or something?" I asked, wondering why he would even dare to say such nonsense. If he had any brains at all, he should be apologizing to me for being the reason why I'm here right now, because if it wasn't for him finding me at the lake where I was peaceful, just sightseeing and enjoying my peace, I wouldn't have had to meet Hunter or deal with the numerous shitty situations I've had to deal with since I, unfortunately, found myself in this pack. "You should be apologizing to me right now instead of wearing that smug look on your face," I said, and he furrowed his brows in confusion. "I should apologize. For what exactly?" he asked. "I don't think I have anything to apologize for because, last I remember, you trespassed into our territory where you didn't belong, and as a good member of the pack and
HeleneI didn't want to admit it to myself, but right now, I was hurt, and I couldn't pretend like I didn't know why.I wasn't exactly surprised that Hunter left me on my own to go meet with his girlfriend because I'm aware that he loves her, but it still hurts regardless, as did the fact that he did leave a very bitter taste in my mouth. I know that I mentioned earlier that I did not feel some type of way around him and that I had complete control over my emotions, but the truth is, I lied about that, and I certainly don't have as much control as I'd like to have. In fact, I'm a complete mess at the moment, and I can't even deny it. I'm internally burning with envy and jealousy, and I'm also feeling very unwanted and secondary.I can't say that I, not Elena, have feelings for Hunter or anything like that, but the crazy attraction that I've felt for him in the last few days has been extremely suffocating, and I hated the fact that I was slowly feeling way too comfortable and excited
Hunter "Can you slow down and stop walking so quickly?" Helene yelled from behind me. "I'm not walking quickly; you're just too slow," I said, not bothering to slow down my pace. "Isn't this supposed to be a stroll? If you're taking me for a tour, you need to slow down and let me at least get the chance to know where I am and take a proper look around," she hissed, and I could tell by how heavy her breathing was that she was finding it very difficult to keep up with me, which was weird since she wasn't exactly short and I wasn't expecting her to be so slow.I halted in my tracks before turning to face her, and as soon as I saw how she looked, I burst out laughing without even realizing it. "We haven't even gone that far yet, and you're already looking like you walked a thousand miles? Are you that lazy?" I questioned, genuinely surprised that she'd look so breathless and tired.She had her back bent with her hands resting on her knee, and she was sweating a lot more than I expect
Helene "Look who finally decided to show up! Welcome, Alpha Hunter," I greeted cheekily as Hunter walked in, with a falsely excited smile on my face. "Get up and come out!" he commanded rudely almost immediately, and my smile dropped. "Excuse me?" I cocked my head to the side, visibly confused and offended by his tone. "Why are you telling me to get up and come out? Where to?" I asked, not hiding my irritation. "Can you just get up and do as I asked before you start questioning me?" He hissed impatiently, and I scoffed. "I get that you're the Alpha here, and you're probably used to commanding anyone however you like, but you're not going to speak to me like that and expect me to just listen to you without any questions. First, you'll have to explain to me why I need to get up and come out with you, and if you can't do that, then you can forget it," I reprimanded him snappily. I'm aware that it's very disrespectful of me to talk to him like that, and I shouldn't be pushing his b
Helene "I want an apology from both of you, and I want it now!" I demanded sternly, with both my arms crossed around my chest. "Who? Me? You want me to apologize to you?" Mia asked, and I threw her a dirty look. "I believe I just made it clear that I want you two to apologize to me, so yes, Mia, you're included," I responded snappily. Owen and Mia were in my room for about fifteen and ten minutes, respectively, but I refused to talk to either one of them until they apologized to me. "You keep telling us to apologize to you, but you still haven't told us why we need to apologize. Am I supposed to just render an apology when I have no idea what my offense is?" Mia asked. I sighed. "Well, you should think back and try to think for yourself about what exactly you could have done or said to me that's making me demand an apology from you," I retorted, confusing her even more. I wasn't going to tell them what exactly I was upset about because I needed them to figure it out on their ow
Hunter"I saw you!" Damon drawled in a singsong tone as soon as he walked into my living room. I stared back at him in confusion, wondering what he was going on about and why he was staring at me like that. "What exactly did you see, and what's with that look on your face?" I questioned her suspiciously. I didn't like the fact that he had such a creepy smile on his face, and I was also quite uncomfortable with his suspicious stare. "Are you going to pretend like you don't know what I want to talk about?" he asked.I knitted my brows in confusion as I watched his creepy smile grow wider and wider. "Listen, Damon, just in case you didn't notice, it's already quite late at night, and I don't think either one of us should have the energy to waste our time, especially since we have a lot on our plate tomorrow. So in other words, I'll advise that you tell me why you're here or else I'll have you kicked out," I threatened boredly, even though I didn't mean it. "I know you know what I'm
Helene "Ouch!" I flinched in pain as Hunter applied ointment to the injury on my arm. "Stop being such a baby and deal with it!" he hissed, and I threw him an irritated glare. "And you should stop trying to worsen my pain, idiot. Didn't they ever teach you how to be gentle with women?" I fired at him angrily. He scoffed. "Oh, trust me, baby girl, I am extremely gentle with women, but with you? Never going to happen!" He retorted, applying the ointment even more aggressively and causing me to flinch even more. "Okay, that's it! Thanks for your help, but I'll take it from here," I snapped, snatching the ointment from him and proceeding to apply it myself. "Suit yourself, kid," he said nonchalantly, and I stared back at him with intense disgust. "What's with that look? You're the one who took it away from me," he added defensively, and my glaring only intensified. "Stop calling me a kid already, you douche!" I growled at him with a furious look on my face. I was genuinely sick and
HunterThe last thing I expected was for Helene to run toward me so quickly after staring at me briefly, but instead of feeling upset that she ran to me in a public space, I was more upset by the fact that she had run despite knowing that she was seriously injured.She stood in front of me in her wolf form, almost like she was waiting for me to come to her, and instinctively, I climbed down from where I was, walked in front of her, and the first thing I did was squat so I could take a better look at her injury."You know that you shouldn't be running around in this state, right?" I muttered with a sigh as I lightly touched her injured arm."You're the reason I'm in this state," she responded through a mental link, and something about the way we just communicated made me feel very weird.This would be the first time that she and I would communicate like this, and I felt some type of way because I didn't expect to ever be in such a situation with her, and I always thought that I would b
Third-person POVHunter's eyes widened in shock at the sight of Helene in her wolf form. He couldn't believe that the wolf he was seeing in front of him was the same person he had called weak on several occasions and saying he was simply surprised would certainly be an understatement."Are you seeing what I'm seeing Hunter or am I already seeing things? Is that wolf supposed to be Helene?" Damon asked from beside Hunter, with a shocked and confused look on his face. They both had their eyes fixated on the grey-furred wolf in front of them, which was almost two times bigger than the opponent in front of her."To think you boys didn't take her seriously when she told you she wasn't to be messed with," Aurora hissed at them after noticing the shocked expressions on their faces. She was also quite surprised by the fact that Helene's wolf was almost the same size as her cousins and she couldn't help but be even more curious to know who Helene was."Isn't she bigger than me?" Damon blurted
