LOGINAMBER POVI offered to help because we’re a team, and since he can’t walk on his own, I’m going to help him. His mind and his heart are still intact, and he uses them very well, which makes it good for us.I’ll take him to the cabin beyond the North Islands, and we shall meet Alpha Shaw before Alpha Kane gets to him.“Don’t you think it would be great to have me around? I’ve known the Alpha for a long time. Before she steps in, I’ve seen him in both states, so I can assist Suzy in taking care of him.”“I don’t need your help, Quinn. I can handle this myself. There’s no need to bother.”“You look tired. These past few days that you’ve stayed with him, we can take turns watching him.” Quinn was persistent in getting Uncle Klaus to side with her on this, and she was successful.“Quinn is right. Besides, her father is the enemy, so I think she deserves to be there as well. You’d go with the trucks; they’re faster and more durable on the routes you’ll use.” Uncle Klaus announced, holding o
Enzo POVThe Healer is not an evil man, and I hated that Suzy would have such thoughts in her head. This man is like the bedrock of this pack, and my father knows that.He can vouch for this man one million times, and we’ve recommended him to other packs, and he did us proud. He’s been able to keep our pack out of many outbreaks, and we don’t lose our cubs or our population like other packs do.The Healer is Dr. Winston, and I’ve grown up respecting that name, so I wouldn’t let Suzy, a new addition to my life, disrupt the relationship between what made me who I am and what is just a phase of my life.No one even knows if she’s going to stay back after the deal is over. We might not fall in love before it’s over, and it all returns to the sex and getting paid, or we might reconsider going back to Quinn.I wouldn’t want that for myself.“Are you even listening?”I realized that I was back inside the Healer’s chambers, with Suzy wearing so much worry and her hand over my chest, asking qu
Amber POVFinally, the king has woken up and is making an effort to stand. I stood beside him to help him stand because I knew it would be hard for someone like him to do it on his own.“You don’t need to help me, I can walk by myself.”I allowed him, as he ordered, and he stepped on his right foot and fell to the ground.“So are you going to stand there and mock me?”He roared, thinking that I’d run to his aid, but he was shocked to see me remaining idle but watching with keen interest. “You asked me not to help you, and I did, so why aren’t you moving anymore? I want you to understand that I’m here to support you. I’m going to nurse you back to full health, but you don’t have to make my life miserable because of it,” I warned before agreeing to help him.I hoped he listened to my words because I do not tolerate a whole tree of excesses. I can control a branch but not a tree because whoever has a tree of excesses would never stop showing forth new leaves.“Let me help you with this.”
Amber POVI had to sit beside Enzo and hoped he would open his eyes and call my name. It felt like the Healer should’ve left the needles till it was time to remove them.An hour later, I heard a knock on the door, and I was shocked to see Quinn holding the tray of my food in her hands.“Are you surprised to see me holding your food?” She walked in wearing a cheeky smile on her face. I hated that the tray of food was in her hand. I asked a maid to get me food, and here was Quinn bringing it to me like she was the one I commanded.“Obviously, the Healer mentioned you’d be returning to the castle. I didn’t think it would be now,” I replied as I collected the tray and kept it on the bed. It wasn’t close to Enzo, who was resting.“Technically, it’s been about two hours since I met the Healer at the pack clinic. I saw the maid standing there, so I decided to help her and send her back on her way.” She explained why she had the tray in her hand, and it made me happy at that point.“Hope you’
Amber POVI returned to the room to find that the needles had been removed by the Healer, but it was the same person who had mentioned it would take a day or two before he could remove them.I wondered if Enzo was still breathing. I was scared at that point, but I was only watching the Healer do whatever he had in mind. I hope this is worth it, though.“Enzo is a strong man. Waiting for two days is too long, so I had to just take them off and let him have this.”I offered to feed him myself because, honestly, I didn’t trust the Healer, and knowing that I found the key in that document is enough reason for me to always suspect him.“Now that he’s asleep, I should ask you this. Did you see any documents in his bedroom? Maybe an envelope, by any chance? You must tell me if you’ve seen anything.”“If I had seen something, I’d surely speak to Enzo and not you. You’re the Healer of this pack, and you have to stick to your job, not do someone else’s job. Isn’t that your job description?” I s
ENZO’S POVI don’t know why he would think that I’d agree to letting someone I don’t know into the army. Sometimes Brad makes me think that letting him join the council after his father died wasn’t a good idea.My father wanted that because it would be balanced to have someone young amongst the members of the council.“I don’t know why I think I’ve seen someone like this before.”“You’ve seen a lot of people, so what’s the difference between him and the people you’ve seen?” I chuckled as a maid announced from behind the door.“I’m here with breakfast.”She strolled into the room, but Suzy stood up to her feet and collected the tray, and I signaled to my uncle that it was time to leave so I could sit with Suzy.“Olivia, let’s head out.”On that note, everyone left except Suzy and me.She dropped the tray beside me but hesitated to open it. I could tell she was lost in her thoughts.“Why do I think you have words to say to me?”“Well, it’s something that I wouldn’t want to say now becau
