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
"The Alpha grabbed me towards his side and…" Drucilla began her story, but before she could even complete a single sentence, Kurah had already interrupted her. "Get straight to the point… Are you telling me my brother molested you?""No… no… no.. I wouldn't dare make such accusations… Miss… I know the alpha would never do that... please listen to me… I didn't say that!" Drucilla said in sheer panic, as she tried to clear the air. She then hears Kurah beckoning her to continue, and she spared no time in doing so. "He requested that I walk him to the dungeon… He had his hands on my shoulder and we walked all the way to the dungeon… and there it was… Miss… a man… I couldn't tell whether he was dead… or alive… Miss Kurah… after spotting him… the alpha seemed so angry that… he wouldn't listen to anything I said… but he was extremely pissed to see the man that way" Drucilla continued her speech until Kurah felt extremely stupid for being all worked up earlier, all for nothing. However, wh
"So let's eat… go shopping… and go to the partyyyyy!" Kurah says while dragging Lolita to the dining room downstairs. The girl was so comfortable around Lolita that one may be misled to think that they've known each other for a long time, or that she's even Lolita's younger sister. "Mmhhm!... Lolly… this shrimp tastes so good… my brother would have loved to taste this… well.. It's his loss!" Kurah suddenly had a fleeting thought about her brother coming around once he heard of her absence from home. "Maybe he'll get to taste this soon enough!" Kurah mouths under her breath. Lolita was rendered speechless by the shamelessness of her friend. She couldn't help asking in jest, "you haven't even moved in yet… and you are already adding more mouths to be fed… tell me… need I reconsider your application!?" Kurah was momentarily confused, then she burst out in brief laughter, "Point of correction... Lolly dearest…I didn't apply for anything… I only informed you" She then swallows her food g
"Sit!" Alpha Gavin commanded. Drucilla reluctantly sat on a nearby seat and was just about to catch a breath when the alpha demanded once more, "Tell me everything you know… leaving nothing out" Drucilla couldn't believe what she was hearing. Minnie had repeatedly assured her that she was in no kind of trouble, but the alpha is now demanding an explanation. What would she even say to him without getting into trouble? She looked toward Alpha Gavin in a state of panic, with clear confusion plastered across her face. Seeing the disguised emotion in her eyes, Wesley quickly spoke to save the poor girl. "Cilla… you need to tell us about the guy in the dungeon… How do you know him?"Alpha Gavin and Beta Orsin both turned to look at Wesley as if he had just developed another head. The guy just called Drucilla by a pet name as if they were really close, or even extremely close. Wesley realized what he said and couldn't help wondering why he just spoke that way. It came so naturally and was t
