Laying on my bed, I can't help but wonder why Linda reacted the way she did when I told her about the Lycans disappearance and the werewolves' suspicion on the matter.I don't think I said something inappropriate for her to react so oddly. Then again, it didn't seem like she was angry. Rather, she looked scared, as if something terrible was going to happen.I can't help but think if her reaction has something to do with what Kaiser said that day.As much as I wanted to ask her about the nightmares, I can't do that. I would love it if she told me herself. In the past few days, we have been making progress on our relationship. Hopefully soon enough, we will be close enough for her to open up about herself.Sighing, I stand up and walk towards my room's balcony, where a gentle night breeze is blowing in. Closing my eyes, I feel the cold wind hitting my face and blowing through my hair.My mind travels to the events of the meeting with the council.The elders seemed very determined to bla
Today, I woke up early in the morning and prepared myself. I didn't want to run around like a lost cat and end up being late to the clinic.Although the clinic belongs to this pack and no one would ask me why I am running late, my work ethic always keeps me on my toes. Whether it's back in the city among the humans or here in this kingdom. After taking everything I needed for today, I strutted to the door. I was about to open the door when it was pushed open, revealing Fiona who had another shopping bag at hand." Don't tell me you bought me another lab coat?" I asked, rolling my eyes at her." You sure lack manners, my Queen. " She stated with a plain face." Oh yeah? Why would you say that? " I cocked my brows at her and she smirked." At least a simple good morning wouldn't kill you or will it?" She replied. I rolled my eyes at her." Good morning Miss Fiona? What can I do for you so early in the morning?" I asked, making sure to remind her that it was still early in the morning
After I finished taking a shower, I dried myself and secured a bathrobe around my body. With a towel drying my hair, I stepped out of the shower only to find Fiona settled on my bed."What?""You didn't forget about our promise, did you?" She sat in the middle of my bed and tapped the mattress. "Sit here. I'll do your hair." She offered." What promise? " I asked, not sure if we were thinking about the same thing." What we talked about in the morning." She replied and I shook my head." I didn't. " I replied. How could I forget? I practically spent the day pondering about the conversation we had this morning." That's good. 'I sat on the spot she tapped on, and Fiona began combing through my hair with her fingers."How do you want your hair? Braids?""I usually just tie it back into a ponytail. That's all." I replied. I don't usually struggle styling my hair. A simple ponytail and sometimes a bun does the trick." Today is a special day for you Linda." Fiona said, a serious look on
"You want to tell me something?" Alex asked, a look of surprise on his face. It's like he didn't expect me to say that especially after that little kissing session.I nodded my head." What do you want to tell me? Can you give me a spoiler?" Alex asked but I shook my head." You just have to wait until then. " I answered, pulling him to myself and capturing his lips. I felt Alex tense but after a few seconds, he relaxed and responded to the kiss, deepening it.I kissed him clumsily, copying how he did it earlier. My hand rested on his chest, his heart beat steadily beneath my palm. I moved closer to him, pushing him back so he was leaning on the couch.I pulled away slightly, and Alex let out a groan, his hand reached up and gripped the hair at the back of my head, pulling me down and crushing our lips together. He bit and sucked on my bottom lip and I groaned as a feeling of pleasure surged through my body, making me shudder.I pushed my tongue in his mouth and explored his mouth,
" Are you saying I am not welcomed here?" Valeria asked, glaring àt me." When did I say that? Don't put words in my mouth. I am just curious. " I answered, glaring back at her.Trust Valeria to twist facts and make you feel guilty. That's Valeria for you. After interacting with her, she can't pull that trick on me. " I couldn't miss your welcome party for anything in this world. That's what best friends are for, right? " Valeria replied, a charming smile on her face. I narrowed my eyes at her suspiciously. Why don't I trust her words?" You could say that she's here for the wine and to snuggle some men for herself." Fiona's voice resounded from behind us and we turned to look at her. She had a smile on her face, one that was filled with provocation. Valeria rolled her eyes at her." I like good wine and handsome men, but my friend here is more important." Valeria replied.Fiona chuckled, knowing that the truth was the exact opposite of Valeria's words." I hope you enjoy the party
Alex POVLeading Belinda to her room, I could not control the loud beating of my heart. I can count with One Palm the number of times I have ever been scared and tonight exceeded any fear I had ever felt all my life.I was scared that I would lose her, lose her to those bloodsuckers. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep my promise of protecting her.Tonight was such an important day for her and that happened? I still don't believe that we Just dealt with bloodthirsty vampires. What's even worse is the fact that I can't March to the vampire King and ask for an explanation. Besides the everlasting hatred between the Lycans and the vampires, it's widely known that Once a vampire becomes bloodthirsty, it's casted away from the others because it's a threat even to their own kind.It's just like werewolves who go rogue. They live away from the packs and hunted down to be killed.With all those jumbled thoughts, I didn't know when we arrived to my room. I pushed the door open and st
" What if she's not the one?" Leo wondered out loud only to receive a glare from Valeria." Are you saying that my divination was wrong?" Valeria spat, anger evident on her face." No! No! I am just thinking out loud...you know...I...uhh..nevermind." Leo stuttered and I smiled, seeing his anxious face.The two have always been like a cat and dog, always fighting. They are like a couple in a Love and hate relationship. " Don't offend others with your thoughts." Valeria replied harshly." I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. " Leo apologized. That's how it always ends, with Leo apologizing to her. All the more reason for me to suspect that he has feelings for her.I Know that Valeria is respected in the kingdom. She is like a sister to me but Leo is my second in command. In terms of ranking , Leo is higher than her." She is the one, I don't doubt that. Otherwise, why did we both feel the mating bond." I said, in an attempt to dispel Leo's suspicions." That's right. She is the one. My divinat
Belinda POVAfter breakfast, Alex and I drove away from the castle to the City.Alex had repeatedly told me that it was a bad idea but I thought otherwise.To put his heart at ease, I had him disguise himself. Now, even Fiona could not recognize him."It's been a while since I last used this technique." Said Alex as he touched his face, " it reminds of the days Leo, Valeria and I would sneak out of the castle to see the outside world." He said, a look of nostalgia on his face. As the Lycan prince, going out was something he wasn't allowed to do for the so-called security reasons. I can't help but feel that being a Royal is akin to an animal Living in a Cage." Well today, you'll get to experience your childhood." I said with a smile.After arriving at the City, I guided him to drive to my former apartment. Well, you can't call it former Since I still own it. I bought a small apartment after working as a doctor among humans for a year. Alex parked the car in the basement and got off.
