VELDANA'S POV

The door to Ward creaked open as I slid back inside. The sharp sting of the new antiseptic spray hit my nose, and I tried to scrunch them to avoid Leila seeing how swollen my eyes had become.

The burden of the hospital bill and the cost of the surgery that I didn't have sat stubbornly in my chest

.

Sniffing softly, I rolled my jacket sleeves as I went to sit beside Leila. Hoping she won't notice the redness in my face.

“Mom, are you okay?” Leila's voice, small but sharp, went through my thoughts. She slowly sat up in the bed, her stuffed bunny, which Frey bought for her, clutched tightly in her tiny arms.

Her curls spilled over the pillow, and her amber eyes, so much like mine, searched my face, with that worry she was too young to carry.

“Your eyes look swollen.” She mumbled meekly as a pout settled on her lips.

I raised my arms to her face and brushed the curls from her forehead, her skin warm underneath my touch. “ Just tired, sweetie,” I said, forcing myself to

  • The Alpha's Regret; Too Late To Claim Me   CHAPTER 25

    Veldana’s POVShe sat in front of me with a plate of buffalo wings and chips. While I had burger and drink in front of me. She ate away yapping about irrelevant things.How she met this new guy, mind you she is always meeting a new guy every other day. I just sat there quietly listening to her rants, I enjoy it most times.It gets me distracted from the chaos doing on in my life.“This guy looked so hot, broad chested. I genuinely wished I could have touched his che….” Then I cut her short.“Freya, I’m thinking of going back to my old jobs.” I said picking at the burger“Why? Do you no longer enjoy singing?” She asked genuinely concerned.“I do, but I need to expand my options. I need to be able to make money other ways.”“Hmm, so what are you considering?” She asked putting a potato chip in her mouth. “I think I should go back to the cleaning agency I work for,” I said thinking, “I’ll just clean them big company in the night and sing during the day.”“That makes sense, did you not g

    Veldana’s POVHe slapped me.“Are you blind?” Gary asked me again. I just stood there dumbfounded and speechless.“It seems as though you’re deaf also,” he hissed.“I’m sorry,” I managed to say, still rubbing my face.Without apologizing about the slap, he walked away. I stood there watching him walk away, I did not even know when I started crying. I cleaned my eyes, I decided to just head to Eldric’s office. I went to his office, he was at his desk when I entered. He looked serious as he flipped open the files in front of him.“Are you busy?” I asked even before I entered the office.He raised up his eyes to look at me, immediately he saw that I was crying. He dropped down the file and got up.“No I’m not busy,” He said away from the table towards me. “Why are you crying?” “Everything…” I said breaking down even more. “Everything is happening at the same time.”“Calm down.” He said as he hugged me. “Stop crying.”He wiped my tears but it just made me more teary, then he guided

    Veldana’s POVI got my check from Freya, and without wasting time I headed to the stall. I did not have much but I always made it a duty to get something for Leila whenever I got my pay.I bought her chocolates and milk because it was her favorite.I got to the hospital late in the evening, and it still smelled like antiseptic and drugs. I should have gotten used to it by now, but I just hated the smell. I passed by the Nursing counter, and saw just nurse Erin there. “Good evening,” I said and without waiting for a response I walked away.Before I could move far, I heard her call me back.“Mrs Veldana,” she said, “please wait, I have something to talk to you about.”I immediately got scared wondering if Leila was doing alright, “Is Leila alright?”“Ohh yes, your daughter is doing just fine. She is in her room.” The nurse had replied to me.“Alright, what's the issue then,” I asked, getting impatient. I wanted to see Leila now.“Earlier today, Leila wandered out of her room. She sa

    Veldana’s POVI got to the studio by 10:am after I had gone home to have my bath, the studio looked scanty.It was just Freya sitting at the single office table, she had been busy on her phone, but as soon as she saw me she dropped it, stood up, and walked towards me. “I thought you'd still stay at the hospital,” she said, hugging me.“We still have some jobs to do,” I replied dryly, rubbing my hand on my forehead.“You should sit down,” she ushered me to the couch in the studio and we both sat down on it.“How do you feel this morning, yesterday afternoon when we were talking you zoned,” she said and without giving me a chance to continue, “I tried to snap you out of it nothing was working, I should have called you this morning but I was busy.”“It's fine and I am fine.” I lied to her because I did not want to talk about it anymore. “What gig are we taking today and what time is it?” I asked immediately to change the topic.She got up from where she was sitting by my side and went

    “Leila! There you are!”The child, still holding onto her teddy, smiled softly. “Hi Nurse Erin, I had woken up alone in my room, I got bored so I went looking for Dr. Eldric.” “Come, let’s go back to the room.” The nurse said walking forward, stretching her hand to get Leila.Maurice sat there quietly watching the interaction between the two of them. “No, I don’t want to go yet.” Leila replied, shaking her head, “I’m not done talking with him.”Erin had gotten closer now, wanting to carry Leila up and take her back to her room.He voice cut her off, “Leave, give us 30 more minutes then you come.” He had said with a lot of composure, though there was nothing composed about the way he glared at her.The nurse was going to argue, but she looked at his face she saw the stern look he gave her, she realized that he wasn’t joking around with her. Without uttering a word, she immediately walked away.“So where were did we stop our conversation?” He asked, facing Leila. “I don’t remember

  • The Alpha's Regret; Too Late To Claim Me   CHAPTER 20

    Leila wandered through the hospital corridors for what felt like hours, her little legs were beginning to get tired, and there was still no sign of Dr. Eldric.She turned another corner, hoping this hallway might lead to someone familiar, but as soon as she turned, she froze mid-step.Near a large window, a man stood alone. He was tall, very tall, with dark hair. His suit was immaculate, expensive-looking, and tailored to perfection, it was definitely not a doctor’s suit.He was speaking on his phone, his voice sounded low but it was tense.“I don’t care that amount , whatever it costs,” he said, his tone was impatient now. “Just make sure he gets the best surgeon. Money is not an issue.”Leila’s small feet were rooted to the floor. She stared at him for a while, squinting slightly. Something about his face pulled at her memory. She had seen the face somewhere before.Then it clicked and her eyes widened. Maurice! she realized. The one from the pictures in the magazines… the Alpha…
