MasukKNOX'S POV I asked Doctor Isaiah to meet outside for a private discussion. He'd mentioned Sable's vitals not being stable and was going to prescribe drugs to help, but he never mentioned her emotional back and forth. I didn't want to mention that in front of Sable, I didn't want her to feel like there was something wrong with her. Doctor Isaiah followed until we were out of her chamber before speaking. “If you are worried about what you asked about earlier – I can assure you, it is a normal symptom.” He said before I could even state my reason for asking to speak with him. I paused for a long second, looking right into his face, just to be sure he wasn't hiding anything. “It's all caused by her blood pressure constantly rising and falling.” He added. I brushed my hair as I listened to him speak. “Ohhh, alright then.” I added. “She would be fine, yeah?” I asked with a tilted brow. He nodded almost immediately, slightly parting his lips to speak. He paused and then took a fe
SABLE'S POV The room remained dead silent that even the drop of a pin could be heard loud and clear. I laid on the bed, my eyes fixed on the ceiling while doctor Isaiah did an examination on me. The same examination I wanted for it to be postponed. Suddenly, all I wanted was to be somewhere other than the pack – The bar. But Knox thought otherwise. I knew the baby was okay, I could feel her moving, but he wouldn't believe me. That pissed me off so much and all I could do was lay silently while waiting until Isaiah confirmed my verdict.“The baby is doing fine.” I heard his voice, I didn't realize Isaiah’s hands were no longer on me until he spoke. He had his attention fixed on Knox as he spoke. “I told you, I knew she was fine!” I folded my hands into my chest as I spoke, my face curled up in a frown. Knox sighed out loudly. Clearly, he was relieved the baby was fine and for a long while I'd forgotten that part, that he was simply worried, not just trying so hard to deprive m
KNOX'S POV I couldn't understand the flip in Sable's reaction. Just minutes ago, she'd panicked that the baby might not be okay, but that didn't last. I drove in fear, my heart pounding as I hoped she was wrong. She remained silent and I'd assumed she was also in a state of panic, not until she muttered words about the name I'd used earlier. She found it funny and I found her reaction funny as well. It seemed as though she'd forgotten what exactly was going on, like a sudden switch.I thought it was her trying to calm her nerves, I tried to help without making the situation awkward. I listened as she cracked jokes, laughed and gave responses when necessary. She even made me pull over at some point. I lost it once she demanded we go into the bar, the same bar we'd first met. The place that made me remember how I'd treated her whenever I walked into it. Apart from that, I couldn't understand why she would suddenly want to go into a bar when we were in such a hurry to get to ou
ALPHA BRYN'S POV There was a long silence in the room for what felt like eternity. Mum wouldn't say a word but simply stared right at Corvin's corpse like it meant more to her than her living son sitting just a few seats away from her. I'd given her the answer I thought was best for her at that moment and I guess it's impact was enough to keep her shut for a long time. I simply made it clear that whatever she thought was our problem, was simply hers. I wasn't gonna get myself involved all of a sudden, not after she kept me in the dark all my life. She didn't say a word after that and simply stared down at Corvin's lifeless body like it could somehow produce the answers she needed. Maybe in the short time he spent with us, he had answers to her questions, maybe he would have suggested she hire some other hitman to go after Dax or the grand elder, or whoever had her curled up in his finger this way. But he wasn't. She probably needed me to say those words as well, needed me to
SABLE'S POV “Mrs Darian really?” I mummured after remaining silent for a long while. Knox might have assumed I'd fallen asleep mid drive, considering I was a bit too vocal moments ago and then I suddenly went silent. I had to take in all that occurred, and of course I needed to do that in silence. Only minutes ago, I was so pissed about the fact Knox had driven me down all the way to the first human clinic he found, forgetting that the pack had loads of trained Doctors. And most importantly, ignoring the den's rules. Well, I couldn't blame him, he was startled, and I guess this is all he could think of at the moment. And moreover, Isaiah would have taken forever before he arrived. In Knox's mind, I would probably be dead before his arrival. Well, who dies just by screaming out loudly and slightly straining her muscle? I would be damned to die that way. How shameful it would be to tell everyone in the underworld that I died because I screamed too loud…..I scoffed inwardly at
KNOX'S POV We found strange cells that shouldn't be in a human organ and I'm afraid it's not so good.” He shook his head as he spoke, still looking down on his papers, flipping page by page. “I've never seen something like this madam.” He added, squinting his eyes on his paper. “Ohh my God, am I gonna die!” Sable cried out. I hurried towards her before she could be done. “Of course not darling, you will be fine.” I added. The doctor took a closer step to us, pausing a few feet away with a straight face on. “We can't be certain of anything madam, but we have to conduct further tests to verify what we found in your cells and that of the baby.” He added. He slowly turned his gaze to me before speaking. “And you too Mr Darian, we have to be sure it's not a transmittable disease. I scoffed out loudly but paused mid air, judging by the confused look in his eyes. He just called being a wolf a transmittable disease. “The nurse would come direct you both to the laboratory in ten min
CHAPTER 4: ComplicationsSable's POVThe air vanished from my lungs the moment I met his eyes.. It wasn't just his size though he was enormous. It wasn't even the inhuman, gold-flecked glow in his eyes, though that was seriously freaky. It was the sheer crushing weight of his presence that hit me
~SableBefore I could even process the noise.. the room was full of them... large grim-faced men in suits that did nothing to hide their thick necks and rude attitudes.I gasped, scrambling upright and clutching the soft white sheet to my chest. It was the only thing between me and total nudity.“W
~SableUp close with the stranger, the shadows melted away and my bravado almost did too.Holy shit..!The man was… fucking handsome! Like, stop-your-heart-and-then-kick-it-into-overdrive handsome. He was older, maybe early forties with little crinkles at the corners of his eyes that suggested he’
~Sable“Sable! You get your scrawny ass back here, you little fucking shit! What the fuck are you up to now!”The scream rang far behind me into the night as I ran.The night was harshly cold with the cold air filling my lungs at every gasp but it was nothing compared to the sound of Corvin’s voice
