Renae's POVI scurried into the nearby bushes as l heard a faint rustling. From my hideout, I saw Jennifer. She stepped out of the cave, and right beside her was the guy whom I had treated all night. It turned out that he was Prince Logan, the Alpha's son. Seeing him reminded me of the sex I had with him.He wasn't fit enough to walk on his own. He draped his arm across Jennifer's shoulders and held her hand with his free hand.I bit my lower lips as I watched them leave hand in hand. That was supposed to be my spot! I saved him… We had something, I thought, biting down my lips harder until I tasted salt.Just like Logan heard me. He stopped in his tracks, he looked around frantically, like he was searching for something. "Yes, it is me. I am here!" I yelled in my head brokenly and held my breath. He must not find out."What is it?" Jennifer asked and sneaked a peek in the direction that Logan was scanning."It's nothing," Logan said and Jennifer nudged him forward. When they were o
Renae's POVAs Luna's words settled in, everyone in the room was stunned. The idea of Jennifer becoming Logan's fiancée seemed to catch everyone off guard.Alpha Lucas' lips moved but he couldn't utter any word. Beta Peter's eyes shone in unbelief but it was quickly replaced with a mischievous sneer.Shakily, I rose to my feet. My head remained bowed and I sneaked a peek at Jennifer."Luna Nina!!!" Jennifer suddenly giggled, putting on her best act. She acted like she was shocked like everyone."Yes, dear. You saved my son. You can't end up being his maid, you should have him and serve him properly," Luna responded cheerfully.Jeniffer blushed in embarrassment, but a radiant and mischievous smile spread across her face, betraying her shock at the unexpected proposal."Luna…." She called in a whisper as she tried to find her voice.Alpha Lucas cleared his throat, trying to maintain composure despite the surprising turn of events. "Well, I must say, Luna, that's a rather unconventional
Logan's POV "Why? Must it be Jennifer Tower?" Lian asked, sneaking on me from behind. "Why? Can't it be her?" I asked, my attention elsewhere. I was fixed on the little doctor who was just making her way out of my chambers. She had just treated my wounds and she was on her way out. Swoosh! Lian leaped beside me from behind. She was looking at the little doctor, who was almost out of sight, and back at me. "Do you like her?" She asked with a stupid smirk on her face. "What? Who? Who?" I turned to face her. My hands raised up, almost hitting the smirk away from her face. "Common, big brother… you know whom I am talking about…the little doctor who just cleaned up your wounds." She yelled. "Keep it low! Are you insane? You must be out of your mind!" I yelled looking flustered. "You are all flustered… can't you see? You are blushing too. I don't care if she is a lowly healer, I prefer her to that bitchy Tower! Tell me, if you like her I can get…" "Shut the fuck up!" I snapped and s
Renae’s POV Seated on the prince patio, I tended to his wounds, trying my best not to carelessly touch his body.Reaching for a cotton swab close to his hands, I raised my eyes slowly. His eyes met with mine and for a moment, it felt like I had just jumped into a pool of fireflies. My body heated up to his sudden stare.Immediately, my eyes fell back to his bruises, I hoped he didn’t find me staring. I could face dear penalties for a slight wrong move.I could feel his eyes on me, but I dare not stare back. My eyes hovered around an already treated injury, hoping he could stare away so that I could tend to other injuries.My thumbs swept across his skin which made my skin tingle in so many weird ways. My cheek warmed up to these slight touches, and each time, I fought a grin off my face so he didn't catch me blushing.All of his wounds were tended to, aside from the spot I had been avoiding. It was the wound on his chest where the poisonous arrow had hit him.He removed his shirt, ex
Renea’s POVWe had just finished making a potion for stomach ulceration. It was a new formula entirely. The principal just developed it. We are having the first clinical trial today. I looked gloomily at the set of kids that were lined up to take the potion, they reminded me of my old self.The potion contained an appreciable amount of snake venom and I wondered if any of the kids would survive it. Only a few lucky ones would.I couldn't watch them die. I had seen too many deaths around me already. I removed my gloves and coat, hanging them on the rack."It's time to get down to the palace," I announced, finding an escape."You stay too long in the palace. Get done with the Prince's treatment in time and return quickly. I hate the fact that you are entangled with them. Jennifer got you into this mess," Eden protested. It was the first time he would speak up since I resumed the Prince's treatment."That bitch!" June interrupted."We will take care of the kids, I pray that they don't d
Logan’s POVIt's been two months now. My wounds were almost completely healed but Jennifer kept asking the little doctor to help heal me. As usual, we had just finished our breakfast when the doctor walked in. I was leafing through some paperwork. It's a weekly update from Oasis Pack, the pack I had helped to plant. I have been receiving weekly updates since I left the pack.Jennifer was lying on my lap. She giggled as she tried to feed me with some grapes. I felt irritated by the contact but I held it in as usual."Common Jenny… you know I hate grapes… I hate the sour taste," I chuckled, trying to sound casual."And you know I won't take a no for an answer… They said it's good for quick recovery…" she said as she dressed one half of the grape.“Why don’t we do it this way, for every grape you eat you get a kiss”, I almost choked at the mention of a kiss, I already felt irritated by her touch, so talk more of a kiss."Are you…" I interrupted, but immediately my mouth opened up, she
Renae's POVMy eyes shone in horror when Jennifer ordered me to eat the unfinished soup. I felt irritated instantly and my stomach churned.Recently, I have been feeling unwell and I vomit a lot. Moreover, I disliked mushroom soup. I had lost a friend during training when she was force-fed with poisonous mushrooms. I have hated it since then.When Jennifer pushed my head into the plate of soup, the smell wafted into my nose and I felt nauseous. I couldn't hold back. I ran out to throw up. I was even more flustered with the Princess running behind me.When I was done throwing up, the Princess presented a cup of water. I collected it with a bow and I used up the water.I walked back into the living room, looking embarrassed and flustered."I am sorry…" "I am sorry about that." I and Logan said simultaneously. His eyes were fixed on me and he looked at me with concern."It seems our little doctor is unwell today. I don't think she will be able to carry out your duties," Logan said. "I t
Renae's POV"I am keeping the baby," I whispered brokenly to June. We were just walking into the potion room and she said nothing.All through the morning, she kept to herself whilst we proceeded with our work. When I tried to fix some of the work, she shoved me aside and did most of the work herself."What's up with you two? You are sulking, it's not funny," Eden teased but neither of us responded. The awkwardness continued until it was recess.My legs hurt badly and I retired on one of the benches around. June bumped out of nowhere and dragged me out of the potion room. She kept mute until she found a suitable spot."Are you out of your mind!?" She yelled, pulling me into an isolated corner. I stuttered, not knowing how to respond."Why did you say something like that casually? Do you want your misery to start even before it begins? If others catch wind of your condition early, you know what it means," she said angrily."I am sorry… I just felt it is a secret that will soon be out
