LOGINCHAPTER 50: The Green House ~ KIM ~Seeing them shake it out was a healing sight for the eyes, but what I could not get over, even days after its occurrence, was Richard’s outburst.‘Jealousy!’There was definitely a bit of jealousy hanging there. His reference to the flowers was confirmation of the flowers he had redecorated my entire space with.I woke up that morning as excited as I could be when you have a sister who took every opportunity to incriminate and an anklet to remind you of your actual status—a prisoner.After hours of staring out the window, I went down to get some air.I had recently discovered a green house in the mansion.It was fascinating the many rooms and compartments present in this mansion.Since we got back, I had been exploring to avoid running into Elena and while that was working beautifully, the side benefit was all the rooms in the mansion I got to explore until I finally found my favorite.There was an indoor pool and that would have easily been my e
CHAPTER 49: RECONCILIATION ~ RICHARD~I could never trust myself around Alpha Nune. The thought of him being my house made the hair on my body stand, almost becoming fur.“Richard, I’m going to need you to be on your best behavior.” My mother whispered.“I make no promises, Mother. He crossed a boundary, brought himself here. I think he’s more than ready for whatever it is that he gets.”“Stay here,”I placed Kimberly a step behind me by my left-hand side, while my mum was at my right-hand side as we walked down the hallway.“Alpha Fell! Always a pleasure to meet you.”“I wish I could say the same, Jerry.”Jerry Nune was quite cheerful, which was odd, but irrelevant to me at the time. I was feeling the direct opposite of whatever cheer it was he was feeling.“Relax, Richard. I’m not here to fight.”“Really? I believe that.” I closed the gap between us, staring into his eyes like someone about to wrap my hand around his neck and squeeze him to death.I was probably going to.“Relax,
CHAPTER 48: Scars and Lights~ KIM ~“What?”“The scar... ” I pointed.He looked down at his abdomen and then back at me.“I’m pretty sure it’s exactly what you just called it, Kimberly. A scar.” The eye roll was not physical, but it was not silent and nor was the sarcasm.“Yes. I mean... How did you get it?”There was something odd about it. Something familiar.“You don’t spend years rising to the position of top Alpha in the region without war wounds, Kimberly.”He walked into the bathroom.The scar looked like something you get from a fatal injury.A hole that big only heals by some miracle.‘How did I not notice it the first time I walked into him naked?’‘Because you were carried away by his amazing body build? I mean, look at that body! It would confuse anyone.’“Haha! Very funny, Rachael.”She was not wrong though.Richard had the kind of build you see from movie stars or a demi-god.His rock-hard chest and biceps were to die for.They were tempting enough when he had a shirt
CHAPTER 47: A NEW RHYTHM ~ KIM ~“Ugh!” I groaned in pain.For the first few minutes, every attempt to open my eyes caused my head to ache more than I could imagine.“Would you quit it already?”Since I could not roll my eyes, I raised my brows. Fortunately, it helped make opening my eyes easier, although with very blurry vision at first.“Seriously, Kimberly, would you quit trying to open your eyes?”His mean tone did not stop me and it was a good thing it didn’t, because not only did I manage to open my eyes completely, I sat upright, and the best part was I did all that while ignoring him.“Being that you have very limited good traits, I see why you want to hold on to your stubbornness, but sometimes, just... drop it.” He scolded.“I don’t know, Alpha husband. If you’re so irritated by how stubborn I am, you probably shouldn’t hang out around me long enough to have to deal with it.” I fired back.Richard and I seemed to have found our rhythm.Getting on each other’s nerves and a
CHAPTER 46: Make things right~KIM~“Go where?”I fought back, freeing my hand from his grip.“What are you doing?”I pulled back.All the oldies that I had been nursing, very limited as their strength was, they began to gather around.“It’s okay. I know him.” I pacified them.Not that a thousand of them would have anything on Richard, but their thought was extremely heart melting.“Taking you home. You’re not even in our territory.”“Shouldn’t you have thought of that before sending me out here?”The look on his face gave me the instant realization that he had no idea what I was talking about.“Damn it, Elena!”“What did she tell you?” he probed.I gave off a death stare.“Why don’t you ask her?”I thought I caught him feeling sorry for a second.“Whatever it was she told you, you shouldn’t be dumb enough to fall for such pranks.” He tried to grab my hand again, but I resisted. Especially after the statement he just made.“When I came here, I was told you signed off on me spending tw
CHAPTER 45: THE RIVERINE BORDER~RICHARD~ Her seat at the table was empty again, just as it had been for the last four days.The table was awfully quiet with just me, Logan and Elena.I relieved my mother of having to always be at the table since she was still recovering and she took her walks with her aide.“Excuse me,” I pushed back my seat and rushed up the stairs, straight to Kimberly’s room.“Kimberly?” I knocked on the door, but there was nothing but silence.“Kimberly?”My eyes caught Galina in the hallway.I could almost swear she was coming to Kimberly’s room, but as soon as she saw me, she took a turn.“Galina!” I ran after her.She hastened her steps.“You know you could be punished for ignoring the Alpha,”I hated I had to threaten her, but it was the only thing that stopped her.“Good morning, Alpha.” She bowed in courtesy when I came close to her.“Where is Kimberly?” I probed.Galina avoided eye contact, bending her head to the ground, even though I tried to get her to
CHAPTER 44: NOT SO BAD ~ KIM ~“What do you think she’s planning?”“I don’t know. I just know it can’t be anything good.”Logan drove the vehicle behind Elena’s at a steady pace.She insisted he take his own vehicle if he wanted to see the surprise and I insisted on driving with him since it fel
CHAPTER 43: Surprise of my own ~KIM~Only Alpha Richard Fell would pull off a grand gesture and have it delivered with a tone as rough as he used.‘Is it me, or was that a display of jealousy?’ I thought, still holding the door open.I was almost afraid of going in, it was like I was going to ruin
CHAPTER 2: A Taste of Freedom ~ Kim ~ I stood on the sidewalk outside the Fell mansion the next morning, breathing in the city air deeply for the first time in four years. It smelled like grease and gasoline and humanity and life. I loved it. "Where to first?" Galina asked, linking her arm throu
CHAPTER 1: The Midnight Encounter~ Kim ~I shouldn't have been in Alpha Richard Fell's kitchen at midnight wearing my sister's nightgown, but there I was, stealing cookies like a thief.Four years in the rogue dungeon had taught me about hunger. Real hunger — the kind that made you dream of chocol
