"Concentrate, Alicia, concentrate. She’s a ghost now, and this body is yours to command. Life has gifted you a fresh start, so seize it!" I whispered to myself, grappling with the ache in my heart.

Jealousy cannot be my master!

I plastered on a facade of delight, chuckling lightly, forcing a blush to bloom on my cheeks. "Oh, how fortunate I am! Finally, I get to meet the love of my life," I chimed blankly, my gaze strictly guarded with unfazement.

"You truly are," they chimed in conclusion, their smiles radiating warmth. Yet, the informant who had brought us the news was fueling with fury, her frustration evident in every tense line of her face.

Psshhh, humans!!

Everyone knew that Nana had an unyielding crush on Ethan, and this was my moment to pounce.

But how could I possibly volunteer to be the nurse overseeing his care? For Ethan’s assistant, Lambert Erics, to choose me for this city hospital role, I’d need to showcase some serious skills.

A sudden emptiness filled my heart at the thought of Lambert still standing by his alpha, made me feel a rush of excitement. I know this is one of life's toughest challenges, yet he continues to show his loyalty to Ethan despite his limitations.

My thoughts drifted back to my past, and I clearly remembered asking Lambert, "You've always been loyal to your alpha; what if he was your older brother in a past life?" He would laugh and reply, "Then I'm fortunate. I would rather be executed than betray Alpha Ethan," demonstrating his unwavering loyalty.

It seems he truly meant what he said! I looked over at Sarah, who was engrossed in conversation with Abigail and another girl about something or someone. Unfazed by their discussion, I called out to Sarah, causing them to pause and turn their surprised gazes toward me.

I cleared my throat and said"Sarah come with me so I can volunteer to become his personal nurse" I said in a soft innocent voice.

Sarah snapped her fingers and mentioned" ok dearie let's go"

I was about to follow the lead of Sarah but we both halted on our track by the girl who came to inform us,her voice laced with bitterness"what if they are to choose the nurse with good abilities?" She asked her voice void with malice and bitterness.

And it immediately struck me like thunder bolt, you can't just volunteer to become a private nurse for a powerful billionaire in the country, they had to select the nurse with good abilities, fear immediately wrapp around my lungs.

"If they are choosing a nurse they will obviously choose Michelle Adrian for sure" she added bitterly.

Michelle Adrian? Who is that?

"Don't worry I rejected the offer, I can't choose to be the nurse of a billionaire and will be trembling timidly like a fish when giving him his medications" A strange sweet elegant voice said from behind stroding towards us, her features was marvelous her sleeping eyes fitting her face perfectly.

She stood close to us and I was amazed by the power fragrance thriving out of her.

"Michelle... You rejected it?" The bittered girl asked as her jaw was dropped on the floor.

So she was the Michelle?

"Yes I did, I can't, according to rumors after the death of his wife, he suffered from a brain damage Intermittent explosive disorder , they said a nurse from wills Hospital was assigned to be his nurse, but after two days of being there she vanished, rumors heard it she was eating by a wolf, am sorryyyyyy I can't die, I haven't gotten married, I still have a bright future a head of me" she sighed, swinging her hair in another direction.

A wolf? Ethan couldn't control his wolf anymore, I clenched my fist tightly as I felt my heart aching, I caused it assuming I didn't die, nothing would have happened to him.

What was saying! How is it my fault that fate took a tragic turn?

I need to get close to him, before it gets out of control.

"So the it's vacant?

"Yes, as long as you abilities are good!" Michelle yawned, pace of unfazement laced in her tone.

This was my Chance! I have the strongest believe that Nana's abilities where good, I felt another part of my brain where opened.

"Then let's go" Sarah curved her hands against mine and yanked me with speed, I jogged after her as I tried to meet up with the pace.

We walked through the hall hastily, as our footsteps click on the mable white tiles gently, the hospital was luminated with high intensity white Lights, voices echoing raucously in the hospital.

The hospital was filled with numerous patients struggling with various health issues. The hiss of oxygen and the steady beep of heart monitors echoed throughout the premises.

Heading towards the doctor office, my eyes picked on two elegant ladies chatting and chuckling in a reception area, my mind slowly Waverly to Emily my best friend, she was always there for me, ohh I wish I could hug her tightly, I know she must have been broken after hearing my death.

We finally came to an halt facing a white door looming over us with a little label write "DOCTOR" on it.

I took a glance at Sarah and she returned it with a warm smile, I pushed the door gently with creak open with a squeezing sound, upon entering we saw a grey headed man sitting on a Swivel chair his eyes glued to his laptop, I took a glance at the office and was amazed by the art work, his table was perfectly set , his pictures placed neatly on it, two conference chair placed neatly in the office.

He felt our presence and invaded his gaze from his laptop, and stared at us puzzled, pushing his glasses to the bridge of his nose.

He stared at us through his glasses and asked"Nurse nana and nurse Sarah? Am I right"

We nodded like a scared little rabbit.

"How may I help you?"How may I help you?" he asked in a deep, mature voice, his words resonating with authority and warmth as he leaned forward.

I felt Sarah hands bruise against my skin urging me to talk

I cleared my throat thoroughly and said" doctor..." I stammered nervously as my eyes searched for his name, what was he's name?

The air was silence as they both watched me puzzled, the doctor eyes was glued on me, staring at me with he's eyebrows slightly raised.

My eyes suddenly landed on a nameplate in a corner and saw this name Denis woods, wave of little excitement curved up in my lips.

"Doctor Denis.. I came here on a proposal to request for being available to be Mr grey personal nurse" I almost bit my lips.

He lean forward and title his head staring at Sarah and asked "what's wrong with nana?"

Sarah shrugged off her shoulders innocently in responses.

He cleared his throat, pushing his eyeglass at the bridge of his nose and stated" hmm, I was about to call for you, because Michelle declined the offer, but I don't know why?, so yes I wanted to send for you, because your ability is as great as Michelle, so here" he drew out a paper with non less than 6 pages thussing it on the table.

I strode forward and took the paper,my fingers wrapped around it, I immediately felt my heart shot with an invisible arrow as I saw Ethan delicate features on the passport at the edge of the paper, I felt my eyes welled up in tears.

I had missed him Alot, I fought so hard to control my tears, ensuring not to raise suspicious.

Doctor Clifford voice suddenly broke me of my trance"so yes, your pay for every month will be $50,000 you will be living with him week days, then your off is Sunday, so when are you starting" he asked his voice firm, little warmth filled in it.

Honestly I didn't care about the money what's $50,000 that money isn't even enough for me to buy Leo's toys.

I sniffed and said"tomorrow"

He's flicked with surprised, which was immediately dismissed.

"Okay then tomorrow"

"Here sign there, I believe you have read everything in that paper, he's suffering from Intermittent explosive disorder (IED), he's also suffering from, lack of sleep, unable to eat and all" A heavy weight pressed down my heart making hard for me to breathe.

He couldn't eat? He couldn't sleep?

My trembling hands curved around the pen, as I signed even without reading what was written on it.

"Here is the card of the house address" doctor Clifford shove a card on the table, I picked it gently, and saw our house address written on it, pain couldn't help but wrap around my heart I had missed everyone even my home.

I took the card slowly and flashed a warm smile to the doctor, Sarah pushed me out gently shutting the door with a gentle click.

I was immediately blown by shock when Sarah hugged me tightly yelling, her voice echoing on the hall way.

Surprised by her behavior I couldn't help but asked" what's the problem"

"Are you crazy? You are asking what the problem was? baby girl we are fucking rich, $50,000? ohh my we are rich" her faced was beamed with happiness as she was jumping around, I chuckled slightly at her childish behavior, i think nana wasn't that rich so me acting unconcern will spark up confusion.

I then joined her jumping.

After some minutes of chatting with delight, we finally signed out, and I managed to persuade her to take me to Nana's house, though I had no clue where that was.

We hopped into a taxi and soon came to a stop in front of a petite apartment cloaked in a coat of grey, adorned with flowers that guarded the entrance. As we stepped out, Sarah led the way, blissfully unaware that I was utterly disoriented and clinging to her for dear life.

With each steps, my heart thumped like a drum in my ears, echoing my confusion and excitement.

Sarah strode to door hastily and knocked with a force that seemed to summon the spirits. The door swung open with a soft click, revealing an elderly woman clad in casual attire, her hazel eyes glimmering like jewels in the morning light, her long brown hair tied in a low ponytail.

"Mother!" Sarah exclaimed, rushing forward to envelop her in a warm embrace. The woman chuckled, a sound as comforting as a cozy blanket, and I realized this must be Nana's mom.

She turned her gaze toward me, her smile radiating warmth. "How are you, my dear? I hope your head isn’t still throbbing," she inquired, her voice a sweet melody that danced through the air.

For the very first time, a heavy weight of guilt settled in my chest. Little did they know, their beloved Nana had departed, leaving behind only a mere shadow of herself, her body was now claimed by an omega wolf trapped in a human form.

"I smiled, Mom, but this throbbing headache is getting to me. Mind if I lie down?" I asked, pressing my head firmly in a pretendious manner.

"Of course, sweetheart," she replied, stepping aside to grant me passage.

I stumbled forward, my mind racing—where on earth was Nana's room?
