CARLY WOODS POV I held my breath as I slowly poked my head out of the door that was slightly ajar.My eyes immediately caught the dark brown wooden door that was merely some feet ahead of mine, a small sigh escaped my lips when the door was as unopened as every other day.Knowing that I was safe, I took in a deep breath before pushing the door wide enough for my whale body to make it through.With careful steps, I successfully made it to out of the room like every other day without coming in contact with Darren.Yes, I've been avoiding him since the night we had that talk in his office. I needed time to come to terms with everything he said and being around him wasn't going to do me any help.How come I didn't feel the same rush of emotions I felt when I first learnt that Nate was my mate? The instant connection that was never there before that day, the strong pull I felt to be around him, to be held by him, to kiss him.How come I didn't feel anything for Darren if he was my second
JACE BALDWIN'S POV"Why don't we have it here? It looks just as good as every other time to have this talk." Nate shrugs while walking back to stand by the window, his back turned to us."In case you haven't noticed Nate, this is a public facility, it's a fucking hospital. Trust me, you don't want to have that talk here." Ian jumped in glaring at Nate for not being as sensitive as he claimed to be."I, I, I'm sorry man. You're right, we shouldn't do it here." Nate said after a brief pause from his end. It was as if he was having a mind link with someone.Raising my wrist again to check the time, it was just a couple minutes past two in the afternoon, I needed at least an hour to rest so I could fully recover. "My office by four," I said in conclusion."Alright," Nate said absentmindedly, gazing outside the window.From the side of my eyes, I noticed Ian crossing his hands over his chest as he fixed his gaze and attention on Nate as if he were trying to read him."I gotta go, I have th
JACE BALDWIN'S POV Just then, a knock sounded on the door and Doctor Allen said a quick come in.The next second, the door swung open and a young man in a white lab coat rushed in with a brown manila envelope in his trembling hands. "Alpha." He greeted, then gave Ian and Nate a quick nod in recognition and greeting before rushing to hand over the report we were waiting for to the doctor."Thank you, and that will be all." He said dismissing the young assistant as he skipped out of the office with shaky legs.No wonder he decided to be a lab assistant, he was way too timid to be in charge of anything, I wouldn't be surprised if he had the results he was only asked to deliver mixed up with something else or another persons result."That should be it right?" I asked impatiently, checking my watch to know how long I had left to stay here.The watch I wore was the one Carly gave me on my birthday, it wasn't anything fancy, but I loved it. After I retrieved her things from the hospital th
Pulling up in the parking lot of the hospital, I got out of the car Nate and Ian hot on my tail as we went into the hospital.Nate and Ian decided to tag along so they could see what the fuss was about with Allen, not that I minded them coming along.The pungent smell of disinfectant was the first thing that registered to my senses as I stepped into the hospital, my eyes searching the place before it settled on the small group of doctors who walked briskly towards us."This doesn't look good," Nate muttered confirming the same thing that came into my mind."Alpha, we're glad to have you on such short notice. Please, this way." Doctor Allen spoke up on behalf of the other doctors who were waiting with him at the reception area.The two other doctors bowed in greeting and I noticed how tense their shoulders were as they stood trying to hide the fear that was oozing out of their body in waves."You did call it an emergency." Was all I said, shaking the hand he stretched out for a polite
"When that little piece of shit killed her parents, what reward did she get from the pack huh? She got what she deserved from the Pack, right? Your father made her an Omega right?" He turned to face me with his brows raised like he wanted confirmation from me before continuing.I frowned at that. Now that I'm thinking back on that incident, it didn't make sense how a little girl was capable of killing her parents. Maybe there was something my father never told me. Something I had a feeling that my mother was fully aware of."Her life was ruined, she was ridiculed by everyone, deserted by the ones she called friends and family. Throwing in the cherry on the icing, she ended up with no wolf. She was the freak no one wanted around. She wasn't even allowed into pack gatherings, never been a part of the pack runs. Never been a part of anything, then she probably met a rogue that offered her all the things she never had here, what do you think happened?"Nate finished watching as we took i
JACE BALDWIN'S POV "Everyone? That's a lot." Ian exclaimed, his eyes wide in shock as he looked between me and Stephanie but Stephanie didn't seem bothered by my words as she sat with a blank look on her face."Close contact," I emphasized. "Carly didn't keep contact with too many people, I don't think it's that big of a challenge or is it?" I shrugged my brows raised challengingly at her."Not at all Alpha, but can I ask why?" The blank look on her face was still intact as she requested to know why she was the one saddled with the task.I had expected Ian to ask since he was all about having first-hand information but I guess he was now concerned about his girlfriend.Girlfriend? He never affirmed anything so until he did I'd rather not get ahead of myself. Maybe they probably ran into each other somewhere and decided to come in together.Or maybe he was tired of waiting for a mate he was never sure of seeing."We have a mole lurking around the Pack," I stated, eyeing the three peop
