NoraI blinked, my eyes still fixed on the screen as I read the content of the message."Is there a problem, Nora?" I hear Klaus say, his voice pulling me from my dazed state as I glanced up at him. I shook my head slightly and stuttered, "Not at all."He narrowed his eyes in disbelief, "Are you sure?"I cleared my throat in a bid to get a little composure. "I am fine, Klaus."Averting my gaze to the bed where his father lay, I answered his earlier question, using that as an escape route from the uncomfortable discussion, that was rearing it's head. "Although it won't be easy, I will do my very best to see that your father gets cured, knowing what is at stake." I heaved a sigh and turned around to face him."I would start treatment on him as soon as possible, but first I need to get settled in and fetch some things that I would be needing for his treatment."He nodded in response. "That would be fine. I would show you to the guest room," he said boldly, walking towards the door."I won
KlausIt still feels like a dream, the fact that Nora is here in my pack. When I apologized earlier for what happened in the past, she brushed it off and hit me with a sleek statement, "I don't want to dwell in the past." There's no way that means she has forgiven me, and frankly, I don't blame her as I wouldn't be so quick to forgive if I were in her shoes.If only she knew that things were not as they seemed, that there was more to everything that happened than meets the eye, then maybe, just maybe, she would approach things differently.I sigh, pushing my thoughts aside as I take long strides towards the entrance of the house with Nora and one of my guards following behind.Just as I'm about to make my way through the entrance of the building, Justin appears with a smirk on his face.He greets me before his eyes rest on Nora. When he asks who she is, I decide to introduce them to each other.Unfortunately, when I introduce Nora to him, he has a shocked expression on his face, one t
KlausI leaned back into my chair, my mind wandering back to that night, recalling the events that took place. I rubbed my chest, which felt a bit heavy again as everything came flooding back to my mind. It still feels like it was just yesterday."Have you?" Justin asked, pulling me from my temporary mind drift.I glanced up at him, recollecting what he had asked, "I haven't told her anything."He pulled out one of the seats in front of my desk and sat down, his eyes not leaving mine."Then what is she doing here?" he quizzed as though he was interrogating a high school student who had just been caught doing something bad.Sighing, I stood to my feet and walked to the wine cabinet situated on the left wall of my study. Opening the glass case, I brought out one of my most expensive wines, the Diva Vodka. I picked two glass cups and went back to my seat, Justin's eyes following every movement I made, eagerly waiting for my reply to his question.Now seated, I poured us each a drink and
NoraI shut the door behind Klaus and turned around again to appreciate the beautiful decor in front of me. Right from the moment I walked into this beautiful edifice, despite being distracted by my current predicament, I couldn't help but admire how stunning and immaculate everything looked.During the time I dated Klaus, I never gained entrance into the building; the farthest I ever got was outside the gate when he gave me a sneak peek of where he lived. I scanned the guest room one more time; it looked like it was tailored to my taste. Absolute perfection. A smile subconsciously creased my lips, one that I wiped away immediately as I recollected my task. I had things to do, people to visit, an errand to run, and a sick man whom I would rather kill, to cure.I gritted my teeth in anger as I thought about my unavoidable mission. My cellphone chimed, the sound causing my heart to leap in fear. This had become frequent with every incoming text because I knew just what to expect."The
NoraA sigh of relief left me as I saw who it was: the young girl I had been introduced to earlier.With a bright smile planted on her face, she said, "Dr. Nora, I have come to see if there is anything you need. I will be personally serving you during your stay here." Her positive energy was infectious, although this was not the time; I didn't need any of that around me at the moment."I don't need anything!" I snapped dismissively, my voice a bit hostile, causing the smile on her face to die a slow death and was replaced by a look of dejection.For some reason, her new demeanor due to my harsh response made my heart ache. Trying to make amends, I asked with a slight smile stretching my lips, "What is your lovely name again, young lady?"In an instant, her face lit up again. "My name is Loritta, Doctor."I offered her a warm smile as I placed my hand on my forehead, rubbing it again. "Lorrita, I have a throbbing headache. Will you be kind enough to get my aspirin and a glass of water?
NoraI was a bit surprised at his words. He needed to tell me something? What could that possibly be? A part of me wanted to tell him that I was busy and didn't have the time for that. Who knows, he probably wanted to woo me, see if I was an easy target. Men like him believe they can actually get any kind of girl they want just because they are very easy on the eye and have the wealth to back up their good looks.Well, if that is his plan, then he just met the wrong girl because I am sure as hell not "any kind of girl"."Shouldn't you at least find out what it is he has to say? You could actually be wrong, y'know?" Kara, my wolf reasoned."I know I am not wrong, I know his type," I retorted."Jeez Nora, the guy isn't even smiling, see how serious he looks… shouldn't he have a flirty look on his face if he wanted to woo you?" Kara argued. She has become quite comfortable with using slangs from the human world over the past 5 years. I don't blame her though; I do that too. It isn't ea
~NoraMy heart plummeted to the pit of my stomach at his words. He was clearly very angry. He flung the axe behind his shoulder; it was almost as though he was ready to attack."I asked a question, kid. You better start talking." The hatred in his voice was unmistakable. He still loathed me and I wasn't surprised, i deserved everything I was getting."Please, Beta Ken, put the axe down. Let's talk," I pleaded.He narrowed his eyes, "You don't tell me what to do, Nora! What are you doing in my house? It is true I banished you from entry into this pack years ago, but it isn't exactly ours right now, so I do not have the right to prevent you from coming to the pack. But this is my house! My territory, and you are not welcome here!" His last words were laced with so much anger and hurt as he growled, his brown eyes turning yellow. I had to take a step back."Calm down, Beta Ken. I am here to remedy that," I panicked, sending a prayer to the moon goddess to prevent him from changing to hi
Nora"I see we have company, dad," she said as she came closer. I still didn't turn. I watched the smile on her father's face gradually disappear, and he swallowed hard. From his expression, I could tell that Grace would not be pleased to see me in their home.The closer she came, the more my heart raced."Nora?" she said in an unsure tone when she was a few inches from me.I took a deep breath to steady myself and turned to look at her, clutching onto my car keys in my hand, my fingernails creating half moons in my palm."It is you!" she shrieked."How dare you come here after all these years?" There was so much anger in her voice when she spoke.I lowered my head, not knowing what to say."Dad, what is she doing here?""Calm down, Grace…""Don't tell me to calm down, dad! I want this stranger out of our house now!" she shrieked.I stood there not moving. Rather, I lifted my head and glanced at her with pleading eyes, hoping it would make her feel better, but rather it made everythin
