I was exhausted. I didn’t know that until I fell asleep beside Leo. I was supposed to be taking care of him and making sure that he was fine. But my body has a different idea. After what Aiden had been through, I was expecting that Leo would also go through what he did, but I was glad that he was in a better state than Aiden was.What I wasn’t prepared for was to see him staring at me the moment that I opened my eyes, with our hands intertwined. “You’re- You’re awake,” I said in surprise, suddenly standing up and taking a step back. “Good morning, Kelly.” He said, smiling weakly at me. “Let me call the doctor,” I said, as I turned to rush towards the door, only to be stopped by strong hands wrapped around my wrist. I turned and met his gaze, steady and unwavering.“Later,” His voice low and surprisingly calm. I froze where I stood, unable to process what was happening to me and what the hell I was feeling. All the different emotions come rushing to me like a bullet hitting me
After what I had been through, I didn’t know how to react when I first opened my eyes and saw Kelly sleeping beside me. I felt an overwhelming mix of happiness and doubt, as I was unsure if what I was seeing was real.Afraid that I would lose this moment, I dare not move. Whether real or not, this was a moment I had been waiting for so long. To spend time with Kelly the way we used to, without fighting.If what I am seeing right now is another illusion, then so be it. What matters is that I have this moment with her. I looked at our joined hands, and I could feel the warmth seeping into me, comforting me.It made me pray that the warmth I was feeling was hers, that this was real, and not another cruel scene that would hurt me, once again.But then again, what right do I have to deserve her?I stared at the outline of her face as I tried to engrave it in my memory. A precious moment that I won’t be granted again, the moment I wake up from this dream. That’s when I realized how much I
I was glad that Lylia and Aiden were okay.Lylia was lucky that her healing powers were activated sooner. The doctor said that it was the reason why she was healing faster than before.At first, I was scared that it was a bad thing, but the doctor had reassured me that it wasn’t.The next day, Lylia and Aiden were almost healed, so they decided to crash at Leo’s VIP suite.Aiden requested that their beds be moved to Leo’s room, telling me that he was lonely in his room, even though I know that he did what he did just so I won’t be tired moving from one room to another.Lylia spent the next hour telling me excitedly how Leo was her hero. How he saved her from all those ‘
I had been hurt a lot of times, but this was different. Wolfsbane is deadly even in small doses, especially when it goes directly into our bloodstream. The only time a shifter could be spared is if their wolf and their counterpart are strong enough to fight it. Now I know the hell that Aiden went through because of it. I know it is painful, I just didn’t realize how excruciatingly painful it was. Every part of me hurts, and my wolf and I were already tired of fighting the pain. It wasn’t just about stamina. It was also a test of how strong one mind could be. Suddenly, I found myself in a very dark place. A place I wasn’t familiar with.It looks like a cave of some sort with cold walls and dripping water. But still, I don’t recognize the place. I started walking, looking for a way out, but I couldn’t find anything. All I saw was darkness as the cold air lingered on my skin. I continued to find my way in the darkness when a door suddenly appeared before me. Hoping that this would b
I looked at the two closed doors in front of me. Praying for everything to be alright. For both Leo and my daughter. I was glad to hear that Aiden was out of harm's way; he is now in his VIP suite, resting. We were lucky that we hadn’t gone far, and the responders that Leo had called came so quickly. Dave was already ready when we reached the hospital, which made everything easier and faster. Two agonizing hours have passed since Lylia and Leo went inside those double doors in front of me. I sat in silence, my mind reeling as the events earlier played in an endless loop inside my head. The doctor just left when I received the news that Leo arrived with Lylia. Dave told me to go ahead, promising that he would take care of my brother in my absence. Without another word, I rushed to the emergency department with Mateo right behind me. With a pounding heart and uncertainty of what to see, I started praying for both of them to be fine. I don’t know what I would do if I lost them bot
Atlas and I were exhausted. But we didn’t slow down except for that one time when Lylia almost fell. I have to stop and get some vines so that I can tie her to my body.“Phalpha…” She said weakly. “Everything will be fine, baby girl,” I whispered, and she nodded weakly. “Hold on tight, okay, we’re going home.”I didn’t waste any more time as I ran through the forest with only one goal in mind: to bring my daughter home. But the Rogues were fast. I could hear the sound they make as their paws hit the ground, and I could feel the vibrations that they make with each step they take as they get closer and closer to where we were.Shots were fired, and I feel them hit my body, but I didn’t care. It was a good thing that I changed Lylia’s position to keep her safe. When I saw the pack’s border, I began to give orders through the mind link. The gates opened as people rushed towards me. Guards took their position to ensure that no dare try to attack me or Lylia. I also left them an orde
