Kesley seemed so stunned for words, she couldn’t believe what Dennis was saying. How could he ask her to stop practicing with Peter. Wasn’t he the same person who said she could practice with anyone.“I didn’t hear you properly Dennis, what did you say?” She asked calmly, hoping that she probably heard him wrongly.Dennis straightened up on the chair and placed his right hand under his jaw. “I said I want you to stop practicing with Peter.”Kesley gave a slight cough and walked back to where Dennis is seated, she pulled out the chair adjacent him and sat down carefully, her confusion was boldly written on her face.“Why?” She asked.“Nothing at all, I just want you to stop practising with him.” Dennis replied scratching his hair as he spoke.Kesley didn’t believe him because it was obvious he was hiding something with how nervous he looked. “That isn’t a reason for me to stop practising with him, I mean why would I just stop practicing with Peter because of your supposed nothing?”“
Kelsey thought about taking her bath but she waved off the thought, she didn’t see the need to. After all, she didn’t have any plans for the day, she might as well take a rest. She danced lazily around her bed in search of her phone. She found it beneath her pillow, she didn’t remember putting it there but it was not a surprise, she had misplaced a lot of things in the past because of her foggy memory. She grabs the phone from the bed and hit the music.She sang along and swayed her hips to the beat of the music. She was not happy that she had to quit training because of Denis' bazillion reasons but she might as well make good use of her free time. Still moving her body to the sweet tunes of the music she was playing, she made it to the kitchen and made herself a cup of hot cocoa.She sipped from the cup slowly, savouring the transcendent taste of each sip, she took each sip so slowly and calmly like a goddess that was in no rush to do anything. After almost forty minutes of sipping
Peter broke the hug and Denis glared at him.“We’re here to train, not appease to people with bruised egos.” Denis said grabbing Kelsey's by the arm. Peter ignored his rude remark and turned to face Kelsey.“Good luck girl.” He said and patted her shoulders not moving from where he stood.“Thanks, I’m gonna need it.” Kelsey replied eyeing Denis. She shot Peter a pleading look, apologizing for Denis' behavior, Peter got the message and gave her an ‘it’s okay, I understand' look. It’s fascinating how people communicate just by looking at each other. Maybe one day, she’ll look at Denis and he’ll know what she’s talking about without having to ask.Denis dragged Kelsey away from Peter roughly, unintentionally hurting her wrist with his strong grip.“let me go.” Kelsey winced and Denis immediately let go of her arms.“You didn’t seem to have a problem when he was holding you.” Denis said quickly in defense and folded his arms like a child. He could just say sorry but nothing is ever simple
They got to the health center and Peter flung the door of the room open. Denis laid Kelsey on the bed gently and left the room so he could let the doctors tend to her.“She’ll be fine.” Peter said patting his brother on the back. He was shaking in worry. Denis nodded slowly, his eyes darting from one end of the wall to the other as he paced back and forth in a frenzy. About forty minutes later, the doctor came out of the room. He saw the look on the Alpha's face and gave a small smile. ‘No one is above everything after all', he thought to himself.“You can come in.” He said and Denis turned to look at him, he was too absorbed in his own thoughts that he didn’t realize that the doctor was standing in front of the door staring at him. He followed the doctor in nervously and Peter stayed behind.“Will she be okay?” He asked in a soft tone, which was very unusual of him. It shocked the doctor but he kept it to himself.“She'll be fine.” The doctor reassured and Denis let all the air he h
“Have you had anything to eat to today?” The doctor asked Kelsey while jotting down something on his notepad. Kelsey thought long and hard searching her memories for an answer to his question. She only remembers having hot Cocoa and munching on half a bowl of popcorn before Denis came to tell her to get ready for training, she hadn’t eaten any real food since last night when He told her that she had to dump Peter as her trainer and she couldn’t do anything about it, she had felt upset so she didn’t eat anything before she went to bed and she didn’t wake up with an appetite this morning either.“No, I haven’t. I didn’t feel hungry when I woke up.” she told the doctor and he bobbed his head up and down, still scribbling on his note pad.“What does it have to do with me fainting though?” Kelsey asked looking at the needle that connected her veins to the drip that was hung carefully on an iron rod next to her bed.“Your blood sugar level dropped a lot. Did you by any chance experience a
They both helped her up and Denis helped her to the car. He shut the food when she was seated inside comfortably and went back inside to get the drugs from the doctor. He hands the pack of drugs to Kelsey then starts the car. It took a few minutes for them to leave the driveway because of the other cars parked around it.Once the car hits main road, she looked outside the window and let the wind do it’s thing and mess with her hair. She watched as the trees danced to the tune of the wind and how the road sped past them. The road was free, there were only a handful of cars around. She pretended like she didn’t know that Denis was stealing glances at her. If he had something to say, he would say it, eventually.“I’m sorry.” He mumbled but she pretends like she didn’t hear him, she was tired of his half baked apologies and the fact that he always found a way to upset her again and again. It’s an endless cycle. “I said I’m sorry.” He said a little louder so she couldn’t pretend like sh
The next morning, Kelsey feels a lot better than she did yesterday so she decided to go to school. She looks at her face I the mirror, the bruise barely visible anymore and her eye no longer stings. Her head still aches but unlike yesterday, she can barely even feel it.She happily takes her bath and puts on her clothes. She remembers what the doctor said about her meals and she decides to go prepare something for herself before she leaves. As she walks down the stairs, she sights Denis with a tray of food and a frown on his pretty face.“Where do you think you’re going?” He snarled at her.“Uhhh....school.” she said inaudibly. “Huh?” Denis asked, his voice filling the room.“I said I’m going to school.” Kelsey said defensively.“No the hell you’re not!” he thundered and walk towards her climbing the stairs carefully because of the tray he was holding.”“Why not?!” Kelsey screams on top of her voice and Denis slowly closed the gap between them.“For one, you were about to leave the h
“Why are you happy to see me?” Kate said, narrowing her eyes at Denis suspiciously.“It’s Kelsey.” “What’s wrong with Kelsey? Is she okay?” Kate asked and her suspicious face quickly dominated with worry.“She’s been sick all morning and she’s had me go on endless errands. Her mood changes easily, one minute she’s smiling and the next she’s crying. One minute and the next she’s hot. Please help!”Kate smiled at her son's mini tantrum, she can’t remember the last time he ranted to her like this or even needed her help.“It can’t be that bad.” “It’s bad, it’s very very bad.” Denis said dramatically and almost peeled his eyes off. “Fine, I’ll help. Where is she?”“She's in her room upstairs and if she asks why I’m not there to give her a massage, tell her I died.”Kate laughed at her son's pathetic state. He looked haggard, he had an apron tied to his waist and stains and splatters of whatever he was cooking on his shirt. His hair looked rough and he was all sweaty, evidence that he’
After what seemed like seven eternities to Denis, ~b~ was finally done. He traced the car out of the pack to an abandoned village just outside of it. It was like a small community of outcasts and displaced wolves that have fallen from grace or that needed a place to hide. A town of misfits, simply put. “I already sent for your men.” Peter said tossing Denis the car key.“I don’t need my men to kill that bitch.” Denis answered stomping out of the room.“But you might need them to clean up after.” Peter yelled running after him.Denis drove like he had more than one life. He grip the steering wheel the same way he intended to grip Janet's neck and his jaw was clenched so tight.“You're going to get us both killed!” Peter yelled. He also enjoyed driving fast but Denis was way past his speed limit and he was beginning to cherish his life way more than he ever did.“Hold on tight.” Denis said and went even faster than before, speeding past all the cars on the vast road.They were sooner t
~b~ arrived at the hospital after he had put theentire pack on lockdown. He texted Denis to inform him of his arrival and Denis called and asked him to meet them at the last door to the left, upstairs where they went to check security footage but the only thing ~b~ heard over all the loud whispers of the nurses was security footage.The whole hospital knew there was something big going on, rumors had spread like wild fire but just like every rumor, none of them were accurate. It was all hear-say, everyone has a different story of the same incident. When ~b~ asked for directions to the room where Denis asked to meet, no one asked him questions like they would have on a normal day. Peter, Denis and Ophelia were staring at thecomputer screen, the CCTV footage from the nursery was playing. Everything that happened there earlier was unfolding right before their eyes. They all watched the nurses put the baby in their cot and leave. They also saw them wave to the nurse in charge of the bab
Denis stormed out of the room in anger pushing past Ophelia.“Make sure she’s fine.” He ordered pointing at an unconscious Kelsey before walking through the door. He ransacked his pocket to call the first person he always seems to call whenever there’s trouble. “There is a problem.” “I'll be right there.” ~b~ answered without any hesitations whatsoever “Wait.” Denis said without a warning that he was still on the phone and it almost made ~b~ jump out of his pants.“I need the entire pack on lockdown, no one goes in and no one goes out!”“Got it.” ~b~ said and this time remembered to end the call. Ophelia comes running towards Denis with yet another bad news. There’s only so much a man can take. “S—si—si” she stuttered because Denis' glare had made even the words scared of coming out.“Speak!” Denis yelled like he was not aware of the power of his glare.“Yo—yo—your wife.” His glare got even more intense, it was burning a whole through Ophelia's shaky body.“What happened to my
Kelsey was brought to the healer’s house where she was to deliver her babies. Denis puthis hand over her shoulder and tried to pacify her but Kelsey was not buying any of it. She continued to scream and unconsciously scratch Denis neck with her claws but Denis didn’t mind it. He knew she was in pain and he could almost physically feel her pain too.“It’s going to be okay.” He told her but she glared at him and yelled that it was not going to be.“My babies are not due yet!” She told him and even though he lost track of the due date while he was busy searching for her and didn’twhether she was right or wrong, he nodded in agreement. The healer finally came to save Denis from his wife and she was taken to the delivery room.She still continued to yell at the healer but the healer had seen enough women in labor in her laugh time to know that Kelsey's behavior was completely normal. “You need to explain why my babies are coming now instead of the due date!” Kelsey demanded and the healer
And there it was. The silence Denis literally killed for. Simon's manic laughter no longer filled the air and now what they were left with was Jerry’s silent sobs. “You better start talking if you know what’s good for you.” Denis said and Jerry starts to wail even louder. “I have no idea what he was talking about, I swear. Simon spent most of his years trapped inside a clinic, you can’t believe everything that came out of his mouth.” Jerry said vigorously wiping his tears while staring at Simon's body.“You’re the liar!” Kelsey shrieked. Denis arms were still wrapped around her keeping her in place. “I’m not lying I swear! I didn’t kill your parents.” Jerry continued to defend himself and it pissed Kelsey off even more. “I saw the fucking pictures, you sick stalker! I saw everything!” Kelsey finally blurted outhaving kept it in for too long, she had had enough of Jerry’s lies. Jerry went stiff, his tears that were falling endlessly seized and it seemed like something got stuck in
The road to the cabin was hardly even a road. It was just a thick fog of leaves and trees, basically a forest but with tire tracks.“I thought you said your family used to come here?” Denis growled at Jerry when the car bumped into something for the umpteenth time. “We used to, like a million years ago.” Simon snapped back, he was in an uncomfortable state at the back, therefore taking all the hit of the car. He’d bumped his head a million times, he was sure it was going to give in and crack anytime soon.“I think they’re building something out here.” Peter commented. “These tire tracks, they’re not just your regular tire tracks, it’s definitely from a heavy machine, look how deep it sunk.”“I don’t give a shit what they’re building, it’s out of my jurisdiction and I just want Kelsey.” Denis answered and increased his speed ignoring every bump on the way and letting Jerry bear the brunt of it “It’s the other way.” Jerry said pointing with his head.“You better not be bullshitting
Denis felt relief wash through his skin.Kelsey was fine. His woman was alive! He didn’t let the feeling of relief lag his brainthough.Kelsey was alive but she was also in danger and she had called him to rescue her. He couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.“Was that really Kelsey?” ~b~ asked worriedly when he saw the look on Denis' face. They were about to go another drive around the pack when he stopped walking and started acting like he was possessed and he could see ghosts but when he mentioned Kelsey, it started to make more sense.“Yes and I need your help with something.”Denis answered quickly. “What?” ~b~ asked readily. “I need you to help me find some place, Kelsey gave me a description but I can’t figure it out.”“Sure, I’ll grab my computer.” He said and ran back inside while Denis trailed after him with the same speed.Everyone turned to look at them when they burst through the door. “What’s going on?” Kate shrieked asking the question on everyone’s mind. “Kelsey reac
His call didn’t last as long as Kelsey would have hoped which was forever. He was back in a few minutes and he returned to his initial position, only this time his knife was no longer with him. He had mindlessly dropped it when his phone rang a few minutes before, but he was still unaware that it was missing.“I can’t say this enough but I’m going to make you miserable.” Simon said and Kelsey sobbed, dabbing her tears with the back of her left hand and concealing the knife. She had stretched herself beyond her capacity trying to get the knife when Simon dropped it and she had succeeded and her it hurt a little below her belly. “I’m going to make you mine forever but I’m never going to love you.” His words were like stab wounds to Kelsey’s heart. Make her his?Over her dead body. “I’m going to put my seed inside of you and make you even more beautiful than you looked when he met you. I’m going to parade you with my baby in your tommy all over his face but I’m never going to love
More days continued to pass and Kelsey couldn’t even keep track of when it was day or night, the cell was continuously dark and the silver cage was even worse. She had never been in such a small space for such a long period of time. Every part of her body ached and she wasn’t getting enough food. Simon only remembered to feed her at nightand on rare occasions he brought leftover pizza in the morning.She had no idea where she was, if she was still in the same city as Denis or even the same country and sometimes it felt like she was in an entirely different world.Her babies were kicking in her stomach uncomfortably. Everyday she prayed that she didn’t have to give birth to them in a silver cage. She talked to them when she was bored and sad and she was so sure that they listenedbecause they kicked her stomach in response. She told them stories like Denis used to every night even when she herself was asleep, she begged them to stay healthy and be patient for her to escape from the
