Ruby was apprehensive throughout the rest of the day and even at night, she couldn't sleep as her dreams were plagued with one nightmare after another. She did not dare go near Lolita's room to call her out for dinner. There was no saying that the snake wouldn't just bite her for disturbing them with her knocks. She couldn't help wondering how Lolita did it but one thing she was sure of is that Lolita is a child of mystery. From her deeds at a young age till now, Ruby knew she shouldn't be awed by her anymore. However, the snake issue is something she would definitely enquire about once Lolita comes down.As Ruby was tossing and turning in her sleep due to nightmares, Lolita was having the most confusing dream ever. She couldn't understand anything going on and just couldn't help asking herself over and over "How did I get here?"She was suddenly standing in a very beautiful garden with a few servants plucking some rare and unidentifiable herbs for an extremely beautiful lady. Loli
Lolita wished everything she saw was just a figment of her imagination, and that the dream was just her mind playing tricks on her. However, deep down in her heart, she knew she wasn't an ordinary human. Her thoughts were jumbled, but she did not allow them to get the better of her. After dressing and coming down to the dining room, Lolita noticed that the atmosphere was extremely tense but couldn't tell what the issue was. She had still not processed the encounter Ruby had with the black mamba. However, seeing her pale expression, she became concerned and asked worriedly "Are you okay?" Ruby didn't know what to say because she knew it would sound extremely rude for her to confront Lolita about something she brought to her own home. She was just a servant after all. Despite that restoration, Ruby's emotions got the better of her and she spoke matter of fact "I couldn't sleep throughout the night"Lolita was about to ask what could be bothering her when she suddenly had a flash and
Ortiz stood before the Alpha and tried to say something else but he couldn't find the words to speak, neither could he find his voice. He knew exactly how the Alpha feels at the moment and only wish he could do something to help. He had never seen Gavin so incapacitated since they came to know each other at a very tender age. Seeing him so vulnerable at the moment makes him realize what a failure he had been at protecting his alpha. Passing by Alpha Gavin's chambers on a daily basis, Ortiz saw how he struggled for his life every single one of those days. Ortiz was quiet as he watched his Alpha brooding and tried as much as possible to have no eye contact with Gavin because his emotions may betray him when he looks into his eyes.Gavin stated matter of fact, "Is that pity I see in your eyes?" Ortiz was startled and immediately responded "Not at all my Lord! I wouldn't dare!"Just then Wesley walked in and also bowed, then repeated exactly what Or
"Kuralis! What are you hiding from me?" Kendra forgot that she was also keeping her son's state of health from him and has been evading the topic since she got here. Gavin didn't try to hide anything from his mother, nor did he tell her too much about what was going on. For instance, Gavin didn't tell his mother about decay being used on him, nor is Kendra aware that her son was nearly killed in the Hardwood forest as a result of decay.Gavin is well aware of the fact that Ortiz or Wesley might have told his sister, but Minnie would never tell their mother about it. The last thing Kurah would do is to make Kendra worry about them. She already has too much on her plate as it is. All Kendra knows is that Gavin was attacked at the Dark-dawn Avenue and the battle was a very fierce one that got all the rogues killed and placed her son on death's door. However, neither Wesley nor Ortiz told the Luna about the real culprit behind the attack. As they tried to avoid panic till the Alpha re
If for anything, Drusilla sees the Dark-dawn pack as more of a home or even a better family than where she was born and raised like a dog, for something which was totally beyond her control. From the Alpha's daughter to an omega may be a drastic change for many. The two seem to be worlds apart. However, she has never been happier to be a servant than she is now.Drusilla entered the room to see Alpha Gavin closing his eyes as though he was asleep. Knowing he is drifting off to sleep gradually, she walks with light and very cautious steps as she packs everything out of the room in utmost quietness. After exiting the room, she then sends a text message stating "it's done!"On the other end, relief washed over her when she saw the message which caused her to jump up and down, clapping her hands and laughing like a maniac. Her apprehensions and sleepless nights would be over from this moment forward. For Gavin to wake up within a month means that he would make a full recovery. It would
"Alpha… Luna Kendra requested that… I… I take your permission and run an errand for her in the stables… Kindly permit me to attend to her request." Wesley spoke in such a slow manner that he could swear that Alpha Gavin would catch on to the lie he was telling. However, Alpha Gavin said no word to expose the stuttering beta. He only looks at Ortiz and queries with his gaze, "what about you?" The man was so flustered that Gavin would have felt his fluctuations if he had been in perfect health. However, everything was currently written all over his face, he was nervous as hell. Ortiz didn't have any prior discussion with Wesley, but the latter had just saved himself and left the former on the leash. Ortiz felt that Wesley should have told the alpha about Luna summoning both of them, which would have been a better escape for both of them at the same time. They would have killed two birds with one stone.Ortiz smiles nervously and begins a ridiculous speech as well, "Erm… Alpha Gavin… I
Extremely lost in deep thought, Drucilla couldn't believe what was happening. She covered her mouth with both hands as she kept trembling beside Alpha Gavin. Her emotions have really gone through so many different levels of excitement since she stepped into the alpha's chambers this morning. She was initially flustered, was extremely scared, became shocked, then undisguised embarrassment engulfed her entire being finally. However, looking at the situation before her, she feels raw dread like nothing she has ever felt before. She couldn't help the tremor that consumed her body, as nothing could ever wipe the scene out of her mind. The trauma could never be forgotten. "Alpha… please… don't… you can't get any closer… it would be detrimental to your health… you don't know what this is…. I mean… You'll get hurt" Drucilla continues to mumble various words of caution, as well as moving backward step by step. She was so terrified that she didn't notice she had said more than enough. She had
"Come on… I hear it's going to be fun… I really wish to go… but I can't go alone… mmm!" Minnie kept pestering Lolita to go to the medical school freshers' welcome party with her. This party has been a long way coming. She didn't feel like going there alone, at least, not without her good friend, which would make her completely left out and unable to fit in. What would Lolita be doing alone at home anyway?The only person Kurah wants to go with is Lolita Clint, and she wouldn't want to have it any other way. Kurah noticed how Lolita was always brooding and kept to herself, without smiling much. She noticed that Lolita had a deep feeling of loss in her heart, however, she felt the need to help her through it, so that she could genuinely smile once again. She felt so attached to her young friend that she had a feeling she needed to make her happy at all costs. Weird, right?"So... let's pick something for you to wear… okay" Kurah immediately began scrambling for something presentable fo
