CHAPTER 12
KEITH’S POV
My lips curled into a smile as I watched Melinda on the screen of my laptop. She was sitting in the garden, lost in her thoughts. She was like that bright ray of sunshine who kept me from drowning even though I was surrounded by darkness.
It had been two days since my family went into hiding. For now, they were safe, but I didn’t know how much longer they could remain hidden. Alpha Logan and Houston’s men were going crazy; their men searching every house and vehicle.
A sharp mechanical whirring sounded over me, drawing my attention. Craning my head, I looked at the sky to find a helicopter landing on the terrace of our building. If I was back in Queensland, I could have used our private chopper, too. Maybe not; Alpha Logan must have already sealed our hangar.
My gaze lingered on the helicopter for a moment before I shrugged and turned my attention back to the screen.
“I want to go for a drive.&r

KEITH’S POV “Why did you call me here?” I asked, my eyes darting around what seemed like an opening to a cave.“I thought it was just me…” Alexander reached over and held me by my shoulders. “Figures you have a poor memory, too.”“Sorry?”“Are you trying to back away from your part of the deal, Keith?”“Of course not… It is just that…” I shrugged. “Never mind. Please lead the way.”My heartbeat accelerated a tad bit as we entered the dark, hollow space. The ceiling was so low that I had to keep my back bent to walk along. After walking a few more yards, the space widened, revealing something like a cavern.This region was a bit more lit up courtesy of the numerous chinks in the ceiling through which sunlight streamed inside. The pillars of stalactites glistened in the glow, creating a soft glowing effect.

MELINDA’S POV My lips curved in a rueful smile as I leaned backward; letting the wind slash across my face. With a tug, I surged forward, moving closer to the garden.The chains of the swing clanked and she sweet scent of night queens filled my nose. My smile widened. This life was pretty good, too. Yes, I was a bit lonely and missed my mom terribly, but my mates were safe.There were people protecting me and they didn’t really bother me unless I tried to leave the guesthouse. At first, I was very angry at Keith, but now I guess this place had grown on me.Though Justin pretended to be coldhearted, he took good care of me. Having no work to do, I spent my time reading books, gardening, watching TV. I had started keeping a journal too.‘You call that a journal?’ Corel’s voice sounded. ‘All you have written about is Keith…. I think you have recorded every second you spent with him, every wo

Keith’s POV ‘Keith…. Can you please ask your men to leave the guesthouse for today? As you know, today is the full moon and…. Umm… Just ask them to leave, okay?” My heart skipped hearing Melinda’s voice mail.‘How is it possible? Melinda couldn’t be in heat, right? I mean, we haven’t marked her yet?’ Jake’s anxious voice sounded in my head, matching my own restlessness.‘I think you are forgetting. I kissed her and almost marked her that day…’“It doesn’t count. She wolves won’t go into heat unless the marking is complete.’‘We can’t say that for sure… I guess the only condition is bonding between mates. The legends don’t specify that the bond should be physical…’‘You are right… Mates usually mark each other during the first meeting itself… So, I don

MELINDA’S POV I groaned as I tried to shift to my side. My entire body felt so heavy and numb.“I think she is regaining her consciousness.”“That is surprising. Her condition was so bad and now… I don’t know what to say… It is as if she is healing on her own.” The faint mumbles pierced through the darkness surrounding me.I groaned again, but this time in frustration. Not only was I alive, I had gotten myself admitted to a human hospital. Shit! If mom ever found out, she would be pissed. That is, if I made it out of here.“I think the contusions weren’t bad in the first place. The machine must have malfunctioned or something,” a male voice sounded as something cold was touched to my neck.“It is a relief, though. If she had died or something, our hospital’s name would have been dragged into a harassment case.” A feminine voice sounded to

KEITH’S POV “Alpha, I have handled everything. The cops won’t bother you anymore but….” “But?” “They are adamant about not letting anyone meet Melinda before she gives her statement.” “That’s fine. What about Melinda? How is she?” “I heard the doctors saying that she has regained consciousness.” “That is great…” I took off before he could even complete his sentence; desperate to see her with my own eyes. I rushed to the lift but the doors closed before could enter. Cursing under my breath, I made my way to the staircase. Taking two steps at a time, I reached the second floor at the same time as the lift. My heart pounded in anticipation as I hurried towards the general section. I was about to take the turn that led to Melinda’s ward when Chief Edmund blocked my path. Pressing his baton against my chest, he spoke in a harsh tone, “Didn’t I tell you that you can’t meet Melinda until she has given

The door of the ward swung open, and the chief stepped out. Eyeing me with his piercing gaze, he stated, “You are one lucky b*****d! In don’t know what you have done to deserve that girl, but you better take care of her.” He pointed his forefingers towards his eyes and then at me. “I will be keeping a close watch on you.”“Can I see her now?”“Hmm… sure… We are done…” The chief’s gaze lingered on me for a moment, his eyebrows furrowed and then he walked away, shaking his head.Melinda scrambled out of the bed the moment I entered the ward. Pulling out the patch on her wrist recklessly, she rushed over and held me by my collar. “How could you Keith? How could you hide such a huge fact from me?”My lips parted, but no words left them. I could give a hundred excuses, but the fact was that I had hurt her. I was the reason there were tears in her eyes.Pressing

Melinda’s POV‘I never want to see your face again, Keith Rivers. I am better off without you.’ The words I spoke to Keith weighed heavily on my conscience. Though I was angry, I shouldn’t have used such harsh words.Biting my lower lip, I projected my thoughts towards Corel, ‘He won’t take my words seriously, would he?’Corel remained silent for a long moment before sighing, ‘Given Keith’s personality, it is totally possible. Didn’t you see his eyes when you said those words? He looked so hurt and angry.’“What am I going to do now, Corel?” I muttered, tearing my hair. “What if he refuses to talk to me again?”‘What is the point of agonising over it? If you are really feeling guilty, call him and apologise.’A long, deep sigh escaped my lips. Corel was right. The best course of action was to talk to Keith. Drawing in a long breath, I grabbed my phone and dialled his number.Beep… beep…beep…beep… The call disconnected without even ringing. My eyebrows settled with a deep frown as I di

Keith’s POV “Alpha Bridgeton,” I flashed him a tight-lipped smile. “What a pleasant surprise.” My jaws clenched with the effort of trying to restrain my temper. “I didn’t expect you to receive me at the airport given your busy schedule.”“I had to come.” His lips spread into a wide grin as he clapped my back. “After all, we have a magical pact binding us in an inseparable bond.”“And what is with you calling Alpha Bridgeton?” He said, holding the door open for me. “Just call me Uncle Alex as usual.”To the bystanders, we might have looked like close kins having a light-hearted conversation when in fact he was warning me. It was his way of telling me that I couldn’t escape my fate.Even his gesture of receiving me and holding the car door open for me was his way of showing that I was practically his prisoner till I was in Queensland. I had no choice but to play along, at least until I had found a way out.Getting into the car, I tried to say in a sincere tone, “Thank you so much for
