ALPHA THORNE's POV I stood outside the door, smiling to myself. She was back and unharmed. A guard walked past, and then a smile slipped from my face when he stayed a second too long.With one last look at the door, I continued to my office Busta was waiting inside."I dropped by the healer's place, but you were not there""She is awake." His eyes popped wider"What?""Yeah, she suddenly woke up today. She could hear conversations said over the last few days, but she couldn't open her eyes or move her limbs.""What could've been the cause?""he has no idea. I want another healer to be here to see her. I want to know what's wrong with her.""I'll have another healer check her as soon as possible" I nodded "What about the attacker? nothing yet?" he shook his head much to my annoyance. Someone had attacked her in the pack land, and there was no trace of who it was. Ava believed it wasn't her friend, but she was the only person who could have been involved or seen what had happened sin
Alpha Thorne doted on me for the next couple of days until he was fully convinced that I was well.I was elated by all the attention he was giving me at all times of the day. it could never be mentioned enough, but I was glad by the way he treated me so gently and lovingly. remembering all he did and said while I was unconscious. I was convinced that my mate was the best I would ever have gotten. the image everyone had about him was foreign to me. He wasn't mean or cold or frightening at all. He was the nicest, most gentle person I had ever encountered.Any doubt about being mated to him was completely nonexistent. I was more convinced that I wanted the bond to grow and be with him.After I was so much better, I had to return to my room unfortunately he didn't ask me to leave, but I just felt the need to. He was heavy on his space and privacy, and I sensed he was a tad bit uncomfortable during my short stay there. Never coming back on time and leaving so early. I often wondered if h
Agatha pulled me outside to the garden and spent the next ten minutes going on about the plants and flowers. I couldn't ignore the way she kept mentioning Alpha Thorne and I got the impression that she knew him very well and maybe they were close. I couldn't help it anymore and decided to ask"Are you close with the Alpha Thorne?" I asked and she nodded immediately,"We are very close to each other and if it wasn't because of his image, he likes to protect we could call ourselves best friends."My mouth dropped open in shock best friends. It was hard to imagine that he had a best friend, but he treated me no less. my interest in the woman who was very close to my mate doubled."How did you know each other?" "We've been friends since we were little although he's closer to my brother in age. I used to run around with them whenever they played together. We got closer and became best friends. again if it wasn't due to restrictions on positions for women, I may have become his beta inste
His reaction to bringing up Agatha lingered within me. After the first time, I tried a couple of times, but at the mention of her name, his mood instantly changed and he did his best to change the topic as well. I didn't get it. Were they at loggerhead? or did something happen between them that they were trying to avoid? I didn't see Agatha for the next two days after our encounter. Eiza tried to keep me company, but she was mostly occupied and Nyla was still nowhere to be seen. I stood up from my bed with a sigh and walked to the window seat. Just then, a knock came on the door and the knob twisted. Opening it before I could say a thing "Agatha" I stood up, surprised to see her. "Where have you been? You promised to hang out with me and keep me company". "Sorry about my disappearance. Something came up so I had to be away for a while. Did you miss me?" she teased "I looked forward to seeing you and I was so bored""Sorry about that. I'm back now and we can go out together and
My eyes bulged out of their sockets."Three nights?"Then why had Alpha Thorne not said a word to me?"What happens if we do neither of them on the sad night?" I asked her already dreading the answer because it couldn't be anything good at all. "Excruciating pain for you. It is so bad that some people die from it.""I have to see the Alpha." I stood up immediately, forgetting her earlier warning. she grabbed my wrist and pulled me down. "It is not wise to go running there right now. what will you ask him? What are your plans for the full moon?" "I need to know""Not in the way you are rushing off to him. You only need to ask about the full moon. Mention it to him. he will tell you his decision or why he hasn't said what about it" "And when he does?""you know what your fate is. but I have some advice for you. You should also think through""What there to think about? I want him to accept me so I don't go through that pain""Not because you love him?""It is still too early to tal
I was able to rest easy after my conversation with Alpha Thorne. He wouldn't listen to whatever decision I had made now.He wanted me to think and the sure. I was already certain of what I wanted, but I listened to him. My answer was still the same. I was also looking forward to seeing Agatha so I could share the good news with her. She didn't come around for the rest of the day and I didn't know where to look for her so I waited. Early the next morning, Alpha Thorne dropped by. I was just coming out of your bathroom when he entered. Our eyes locked together erasing the distance between us. His eyes traveled lower down the small towel that did little to hide my nakedness and I shivered under the heat of his stare. A loud clattering from inside the bathroom broke our state and he cleared his throat. "I am going out today. I have some things to handle in town. Anything you need, I want you to meet Busta for it?" I nodded at himHe came close and kissed me on the forehead leaving sp
ALPHA THORNE'S POVI open my office door, and the smell of bleach is still strong as I walk to my door, turn on all the appliances, and throw the curtains open. I sit in my chair and at that exact moment, Busta comes in with a frown etched on his face. If there was something I knew about Busta, it was his constant smiling. He never let his emotions show on his face and smiled as often as possible. To see him with such a look, I could tell that whatever happened must be very serious. "What's wrong?" I asked unable to stop my curiosity. "It's Agatha," he said with a weak smile as he slipped into the chair opposite me. "What about her?" I pushed. They were as close as siblings could be but they often argued. "I fear there is something wrong with her. She keeps acting weird and each time I bring it up, she shuts down immediately and gets defensive. I don't know. I can't help but worry" he leaned backward on the chair. "Agatha is an adult" I simply said. He couldn't worry about her co
I waited for Alpha Thorne all through the day and I kept hearing he was busy. My mind was made up but I was yet to tell him my decision so he could know that I wanted it. I wanted to go through with the mating and completion of the bond. The night rolled around and I decided to check one more time. The full moon was tomorrow night and he needed to know what my decision would be. I arrived at his office door and the guard opened the door without any question. Alpha Thorne and Busta looked at me and I went still at the attention. "Go ahead, Busta. I'll see you later" he dismissed his beta. Busta shot me a smile on his way out and I returned it. "You wanted to see me" he asked softly and I nodded. "I heard you were out who when you returned, you were so busy" he nodded. "A couple of things came up today and I had to take care of them""Did you finish?" I asked, curious to know if he had completed what kept him so busy all through the day. "Most of it. What's left will have to wait
