Eris's questions echoed in my mind, trying to stop me in my stride as I was working on a plan. "What exactly is it that you have been doing again, Snow? Do you really think that this is the right thing to do? Stop this stupidity before we end up in serious danger again because of your obstinacy and your failed plans."
I chose to respond, pretending to be innocent about what I was actually intending to do. "What is all the fuss about, Eris? What are you accusing me of doing again? I am just trying to restore myself here. I managed to gain some of my strength back, and it is enough for me to further heal myself. What do you think I am doing for you to say such a thing to me?"
She sneered at me again, clearly showing her dissatisfaction and annoyance at me, saying, "We both know that that is not precisely what you intend to try to do and achieve. Are you trying
I quickly and quietly get out of bed and prepare to take action as soon as the woman who came to check on me leaves, exactly as I had planned for this to happen tonight. We can't afford to waste any more time right now. Before the men came back to question me further, Eris and I needed to leave without a doubt. Eris, of course, has never been the life of my party who could easily accept things as I say them. She had always been my greatest opponent at whatever I wanted to do, which is ironic considering that, as my wolf, she should stand by my beliefs as well. After our earlier conversation, she had already made multiple attempts to dissuade me, including more than once trying to warn me that what I was doing was a recipe for disaster. However, I have stopped paying attention to her resistance at this juncture. She is completely helpless and powerless to go against my will because I have already made the decision, and it is evident that I am aware of all the consequences that come w
"She is gone. Blaze, the woman is missing. She is nowhere to be found in her room." Blythe's voice echoes throughout the hallway from the second floor, trying to inform everyone in the mansion of what she had just discovered. The boss' sister had just tried checking on the woman, but as she had said, she was nowhere to be found by now. She immediately thought that she was just in the restroom, so she waited for her, but a couple of minutes passed and she never came out, prompting her to open the bathroom door and see that, in fact, no one was there. She once more screamed at the top of her lungs, "Blaze, come right here this instant. I don't know where she is." Hearing Blythe's summons from upstairs, Blaze and Quen leaped out of their chairs at the breakfast table. If they heard it correctly, the woman is missi
As I expected, Eris is once again berating me for the course of action that I decided to take. "I told you we should never have left that house. I told you that it was just not yet the time to leave, but of course, you have always been the imprudent warrior that you are. You liked to think that this was the smartest choice, even if you knew all along that it wasn't, and now look at where it got us! Nowhere! We're like a kind of lost soul wandering into nonexistence." She made a point of saying it sarcastically to me. She had really not been able to keep her mouth shut even for just a few minutes, and now she is here again, starting to overwhelm me with her lectures and taunting me with her accusatory attitude. What does she even want me to do—know in an instant where we are going? How will I be able to do just that when we are in unfamiliar territory? I said indignantly, "You just can't simply stop pointing that one out, aren't you? Yes, this may not be the best decision to make at
My heart starts to race rapidly as I find myself in yet another messed-up, desperate situation. Why in the world am I always in this predicament? And this encounter with these humans is not something I am really looking forward to. I really wanted to regret my hasty decision to leave that household now. Those humans who actually saved us from dying are better than these two that I am face-to-face with. And as much as I hate to admit it, Eris has indeed been entirely correct right from the beginning. I should have listened to her, and I should not have let my fear and distrust decide for me. And admittedly, it's usually me and my stubborn attitude that get us into trouble. "Why that look, hottie? Are you scared? You don't need to be afraid of us because we promise you that you'll have the best time of your life." The man stated this again as they started making their way towards me. I took a step back but looked at them disdainfully. I am hoping to demonstrate to them that they are
Even though I'm drowsy and exhausted, I make an effort to stay awake and keep an eye on what's going on around me. I don't know what's going on, but the next thing I knew, the two men who were trying to undress me were no longer holding me in place. They were now kneeling in front of several other men while guns were pointed at their heads. "What the fuck is this that you are doing to her?" One of the men, struggling to speak, then said, "B-boss, we have nothing against you. We were just seeking the woman, wanting to have fun with her and nothing else. We don't want to get ourselves into a fight here with all of you." I once more closed my eyes, attempting to calm my racing heartbeat while listening to the ruckus going on around me. "Assholes! Who in their right mind told you that you could do something like this on my turf?" The authoritative voice yelled once more. It is obvious that that is not my mate's voice. But even though I am unable to figure out who it was, the voice still
"I guess it conflicts with what you were really claiming to tell us before, that you weren't interested in having to be involved with her again and would rather let her walk away from us." Quen got started with his rant at Blaze, who continued to be in a state of contemplation since they had come back together with the woman in discussion, and this time he won't be stopped. Continuing to utter the words, "Look at that, you wanted for her to end up wherever she needed to be without our help, but out of nowhere here she is, in our territory again, and, if I may say, well taken care of and, presumably, peacefully sleeping by now. What is really your plan with her, then? Why do you feel the need to bring her here again when you clearly told us to let her be on her own?"Even though he can clearly hear what Quen is saying, Blaze has decided to stay silent since he is uncertain of what prompted him to carry out the steps he did or why he helped her again at this point in time. He was the o
Several knocks on the door jolted me as I was trying to think of my next move. I do not yet have the courage to deal with the people who saved me after yet another wrong decision on my part, but I am aware that there is absolutely nothing I will be able to do at this point but to face them and their questioning. And I must really refrain from acting as though I am in danger with these people, even if my gut feeling is telling me so, especially considering that I know now that the person who actually saved me is a medical practitioner who saves lives and does not really end them.As the door opened, a sweet, friendly female voice spoke to me, "Hey, are you awake? Can I come in? I just wanted to check on you."She appeared to be the same woman who was wi
Blaze is incensed by what Blythe told him and Quen, uttering the words, "At this point she wanted to continue her stay here? That is just absolute bullshit! After running away from us and nearly getting assaulted, she realized that she wanted to stay here now. Why is that? Does she think of us as her bodyguards, who would always be at her beck and call at every cry? That is just utter crap!" He had earlier sent his sister to keep tabs on the woman, who was never more than a source of concern for him; he had been checking on his unlikeable guest, but he realized he needed to create some space as the pull he has with her just keeps getting stronger for whatever reason. And now his sister has returned bearing awful information for him. And at the moment, what his sister is telling them is undoubtedly getting on his nerves. That woman wanted to stay with them, but of course, he doesn't want to allow that.
