How delusional of her to come here and think she can tell me what to do? The most important thing is that I now know she has the means that can save my brother and that is all that matters.“Just give me the leaves,” I say, brushing past the threat like it’s nothing. “Let the doctor process them…. You have nothing to worry about. Tessa and I have already consummated our marriage.”That's what she wants to hear right? Besides, it was the honest truth.Her expression shifts instantly, shock flickering across her face.“Ask your spy…Maybe they heard her screams that night..”Her lips part slightly.“Now,
Renric “What other way?” I ask, gazing at those pale eyes of hers.She draws in a slow breath, her fingers curling slightly at her sides like she’s bracing herself. “There are some who believe a white wolf can…”“No.” I say quickly, realising what she is about to suggest.Her lips part, startled. “You didn’t even let me finish.”“I don’t have to,” I cut in. “I know exactly what you were about to say.” I step away, avoiding looking her in the eye.I know she cares about my brother but would she really risk her life for his? I don't think I can allow it. Pain transfer is a risk process, even for a white wolf.What if in the process of trying to transfer this illness away from Kael, it gets stuck in her. What then will become of her? No! I won't allow it.She steps closer anyway. “We have to try everything possible to save Kael.”I let out a quiet breath, tilting my head slightly as I stare at her. “We?”She tries to speak but I quickly place a finger to her lips, shutting her up.“My
TessaThe doctor’s breath rattles under Renric’s grip, his feet barely touching the ground, his hands clawing helplessly at the iron hold around his throat.“I… didn’t know…” he chokes, his voice breaking apart.Renric’s eyes darken. “Then know this now,” he says, his voice deadly calm in a way that’s far worse than shouting. “You find a way to fix this…”His fingers tighten. “…or I will find your wife.”The room goes still.“I will find your daughters… your son…” he says, glaring into his eyes. “And I will make sure they get infected.”The doctor’s eyes widen in pure horror.“And you…” Renric leans closer, his gaze burning into him, “…you will watch them lose their minds before they die.”Renric lets go. The doctor collapses to the ground, coughing violently, clutching his neck as he drags in air like he’s been drowning.Renric doesn’t look at him again. He just turns and walks out, the door slamming shut behind him.Everywhere remains still for a while. I am as shocked as the rest o
TessaHe tears his shirt off in one swift motion, wiping frantically at his skin, some of it already sinking into his skin.Juana staggers back, horrified. “I’m so sorry!” she cries, her voice breaking. “I didn’t mean to..I didn’t mean to!”“Take her out of here!” Renric roars.The guards seize her harder and tighter, dragging her away as she struggles weakly now, her strength already flickering.“I’m sorry!” She keeps crying. “I’m really so sorry!” Her voice fades as they pull her further away.Renric reaches Kael in seconds. “How do you feel?”Kael’s chest rises and falls steadily, but slower now. He lifts his gaze and it lands on me.Something in my chest twists painfully.“I don’t know,” he says quietly. “I don’t feel… abnormal yet.”“That doesn’t matter,” Renric snaps. “The venom is already in your system.”My heart drops.“You need to be quarantined immediately,” Renric continues, already thinking ahead. “You’ll receive treatment before anyone else.”Before anyone else. My thro
TessaTheir eyes snap at each other. “Juana… come with me,” I say quickly, tightening my grip on her hand before either of them can react.She hesitates, her body trembling, her breath uneven. “Luna… no… I…”“Now,” I cut in, firmer this time.I pull her along and we rush inside.She stumbles beside me, coughing again. I wrap an arm around her waist, dragging her forward as we pass through the corridor.We get to the sitting room. I freeze and keep moving. Lucy is pressed against the wall, Lennox's body too close to her as a hand of his is braced just above her head, trapping her there. What really is going on here? His face is inches from hers, his gaze locked onto her like he’s trying to kiss her.This shouldn't bother me right now. I should keep moving.They both notice me and they spring apart instantly, Lucy straightening and brushing invisible creases off her dress like nothing happened. Lennox steps back, his expression smoothing out into something unreadable.“What’s wrong w
Tessa“I don’t understand,” I say, my eyes wide in anticipation.Is she trying to say I have a chance of surviving childbirth? Even if the preventive pills I took didn't work, Renric made sure I took the after-morning pills. Could there have been another way for me to survive this?She ignores me and begins walking away. It feels like there is more for her to say but she doesn't just want to reveal more.“Wait…” I hurry after her, fastening my pace to meet up. “You have a very strange way of giving someone hope.”She scoffs, not even bothering to slow down. “Who said I was giving you hope?”I shake my head, confused, still hurrying after her.She glances at me briefly. “You knocked me down in one round,” she adds. “It took Miriam the white wolf, ten before she even got lucky enough to do that.”I stop walking.“Miriam?” I repeat, my brows knitting together. “You know Miss Miriam?”She halts a few steps ahead of me and turns, staring at me like she is choosing what her next words will
Tessa“So this is why you lied about seeing me kill my sister!” I say, the moment I walk up to George and Rose.She smiles but when she sees others gazing at her, she spats, “I… did see you kill your sister!”“Did you or did George ask you to say so?” I ask, throwing my gaze at George.He tenses an
Tessa“I want alone time with Theresa,” my father says.Alfred nods and begins stepping away.“Father! What are you doing?” I ask, stepping forward. “I just told you that he knows the truth? That he has the video!”He hits me across the face, making me stutter backwards. Alfred halts and turns bac
TessaMy wolf stirs within me; she groans at first, then we howl as I look at the bruises on my hands.“And yet, you are still not healing,” he smirks, his eyes also on the bruises on my hands.The glowing stops, and I try to pull out my claws, believing my wolf should have healed and that would he
TessaMy chest feels too tight, like something is sitting on it. I remain silent, staring at him. I don't even know what to say.I can't just bluntly say it was Beatrice, I doubt he will let this pass.“You’ve suddenly grown mute, haven’t you?” he says, his brows furrowing.I swallow.He takes a st
