"Ouhh, her eyes are opening!" A female voice shrieked in the room as my eyes fluttered open. I recognized it as belonging to Fiona and her voice was so loud that it made my head hurt even more than it was already hurting but I could tell she was just happy to see me awake.
"Shssh!" Cole's voice shushed, making me tilt my head to notice my environment.
Cole and Fiona both stood side by side beside my bed while Jika sat at the far end of my bed with a worried look on his face, almost resembles that of guilt.
His brows relaxed on seeing my face but furrowed almost immediately as he looked away from my face.
Cole and Fiona also noticed the look on his face as their smile fell and the silence in the room was leaving me worried.&
"You like me?" I asked again as I was trying to confirm If I had misheard him because I would hate for him to actually mean it."Yes I do. '' He replied and I could swear I was starting to hear my heart racing faster than it was."Oh okay, " I said and an awkward silence filled the tent for some time."I like you because of who you are, you know when it's first saw you I saw something different in you and you didn't prove me wrong.""I had asked you the reason why you left and you were honest with me, most wolves would have lied but you had pain in your eyes and I know the feeling of not being with your mate so I decided to help you" He said and I didn't know how I released a heavy breath that I never knew i was holding.
ALARIC'S POVThe instant we got to Seattle, I became restless but for some reason I could feel the presence of Lenora closer and it made me a little bit calm.Josh had given me a call immediately after we landed and asked if we'd arrived safely. He was really watching over me like I was a kid but I am not complaining, he might not know this but I consider him the closest person I have to a family.Before hanging up, he had sent a list of all packs in Seattle and had insisted that we searched all the packs first before searching the whole town itself and I found that smart about him.Jenny had also contributed by checking for the locations an
"In case no one has ever told you this then listen carefully Alaric, I'm not the cause of the miserable life you have, that has been causing you to kill innocent people. No one would ever want you to be near them not because they fear you but because you're worthless and you bring nothing but sadness wherever you go!" She yelled and I could feel the pain In her voice and the anger she had for me that truly broke me.Fine! She had said some hurtful words that actually got me but seeing her this hostile towards me makes me wonder if I've actually screwed things up with her.Perhaps I shouldn't have killed the Alpha in her presence and things would have been slightly better between us. I don't know why but for some reason, I felt like I had lost the trust of my mate and she
LENORA'S POVWe arrived at the Serene pack house as I suddenly felt a wave of discomfort on my skin. I had hated the sight of this place and the memories attached to it but somehow again I've found myself under this same roof.Alaric had been quiet all through the ride and flight back here and I appreciated the fact that he didn't say anything to me while Jenny on the other hand tried to start up some little conversations with me even though she clearly knew I wasn't In my right state of mind to be talked to and wanted to be in my own space.I didn't have to wait for either Alaric or Jenny immediately we got to the pack house and I made my way to my room. I noticed Alaric was walking behind me, probably to make sure I arrive in my room but he has nothing to worry about.
"Lenora!" A weak voice called my name and the moment I recognised it, my body froze, it was Asher and why the fuck would Jenny bring me here?I turned to look at Jenny who only had a broad smile on her face but it was in no way near a deceitful smile that I was suddenly confused about what was happening."Why the hell am I here?" I growled at Jenny with my eyes that were filled with anger and the memories from the day I knew about Asher's plan flashed through my mind.I could feel the pain In my eyes as I was trying so hard to not let the salty tears flow on my cheeks. Jenny still had her smile on her face to the point of it irking me so bad."Why the fucking hell am I here Jenny!" I growled louder this time as my wolf was getting ready to unleash her rage
"Who's there?" The soft high pitched voice of my Grandma asked while I stood behind her closed door.I tried to open my mouth to respond or at least say something to let her know that I was the one outside but no matter how hard I tried, nothing seemed to escape from my mouth as I gave up and waited for her to open the door.The minute she opened the door to see me, a broad smile appeared on her face as she shone her teeth at me but those smiles soon turned bitter when she noticed my expression."What happened to you, my dear?" She brought her hands to cup my cheek as her whole face was suddenly filled with worries and her body tensed.I hate to make her feel this way or bother her but at this moment she was the only one I could run to outside the pack house. To
LENORA'S POV On getting to the pack house, I could hear my wolf sighing in relief as I took In more steps but it only made me angrier than I was but there was really nothing much I could do to her. As a werewolf, we're bound to our wolves for life and have to work hand in hand but sometimes I feel like we're just the tools that the inner wolf controls in times of making decisions, but that was the way the moon goddess had created us, who am I to complain? With the box of cookies in my hand, I walked down the hallway and was thankful there weren't too many students in the hall to mock me in my face. &n
"I should have known better than to hear you out in the first place" I sighed as I made an attempt to leave the room before his voice put me to a halt."Just wait, it's a really long story but I'll tell you anyway" he replied while his index finger made its way to his lips and damn does he look so hot right now.I immediately shoved the perverted thoughts away from my mind before I would get myself into a worse state of being horny and I couldn't afford to lose focus as I really needed to know why he would do something so bad and cruel to Jika."If you want me to wait any longer then you might as well start talking " I said with a stern face as I looked into his eyes.He stood up from where he was seated and walked slowly towards me with his hands in his po
