ログインCHAPTER 55: Full Moon Eyes~KIM~I was starting to think he was only trying to lure me into the vehicle when he said we were going to talk about it.The silence in the vehicle was deafening.We were fast approaching the festival and Richard had still not said a word.“Are we going to talk?” I finally broke the ice.“I don’t know what it is you want to talk about so badly, Kimberly.” My eyes were suddenly opened to the reality I was trying to ignore.“When you use one hundred words in a minute, you look a lot like Elena. It was a mistake and it never happened.”I took a deep breath.‘Why was I expecting so much?’‘Why did I think he was going to say anything different?’Thankfully, I did not have to respond to that as we pulled over at the festival.I got out of the vehicle before it was fully parked, slammed the door and headed into the crowd.“Finally!” Logan exclaimed as I walked up to him and Catherine.“You left without me,”“I just had to get a taste of Catherine’s chariot.” His
CHAPTER 54: CATH ON A HORSE~KIM~I tapped my left foot aggressively on the ground.We were all assembled in front of the house waiting for Catherine. It had been two hours and there was no sign of her.No one tried to leave, since we did not know what she had us gathered for and there was no telling when she was going to show up.“What is going on?” Elena was brewing an outburst when we heard a sound louder than her voice coming from a few meters away.The neighing of a horse.Attached to the white horse, with a beautiful mane that fell to its right, was a chariot, equally as sparkling and spotless as the horse.There were small gold lights on the chariot that made it more obvious in the dark night. It was like watching an angel approach.It stopped right in front of the crowd.Murmurings and whispers had filled the air for a while, but every mouth was sealed as soon as Catherine descended from the chariot.“Talk about making an entrance.” I whispered.“Well, Catherine has always bee
CHAPTER 53: PROGRESS~KIM~ “Kim, you have to calm down.” Logan had repeated those words more than I could count on our drive back to the mansion, but just because he was asking me to did not mean I had to.“I don’t know which is more annoying—that he takes her side blindly or knowing that he would do it again and again!” I spent hours pouring out my anger as I knew best.“She is his mate. He’s obligated to protect her,”“Then who would protect me?” Even I heard how that sounded the minute it left my mouth.Logan pulled over on the shoulder of the road and stared at me.The pity in his eyes as he gazed on me made my skin itch.The desire I had been fighting really hard to bottle had slipped out and ‘ashamed’ was an understatement for what I was feeling.“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have.”“No!” Logan jumped at validating my feelings.“You’re right.” He held my hand while his other hand was still on the steering wheel.“You have earned the right to feel the way you feel. It’s not unreasonab
CHAPTER 52: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NUNE! ~KIM~ When we left the house, the plan was simple—grab a bite and return home, but a few meters to the café, Logan looked in the mirror. “I think Richard is following us.” He said, “What?”“Don’t turn around, just look in the rear-view mirror.”I did, and Logan was not playing. I’d recognize that black SUV anywhere because of the gold linen around the plate. “How do you want to play this?” Logan probed. “Off the top of my head, I’d say we pull over and give me the room to say a lot of hurtful things to him.” I responded, “But... on second thoughts?”“On second thoughts, since he wants to follow, let him.”“I like the sound of that. I have the perfect idea.”When Logan said he had the perfect idea, he was not joking. Richard followed us around time and we played dumb, making small talk about him and laughing heartily the entire time. When we crossed the gate into Alpha Nune’s territory, I thought for sure Richard was done trailing us, but h
CHAPTER 51: Trail ~RICHARD~I was stepping out of the room when I sighted both of them in the hallway. With a quick retreat, I hid back inside and peeped through the small opening I had left. Every time I saw Logan and Kimberly together, it ached my chest in a way I was too ashamed to admit to anyone. When I learnt the bouquet came from him, I requested he sort out pack responsibilities on the outside front. Now, he was back and he hadn’t even sat his butt down before he was talking and laughing with her. “Where the hell are they going?”My decision to trail them was impulsive. I grabbed my car keys as soon as they ran down the stairs and followed them. Their first stop was a café. I watched from across the streets as they stepped out with ice-cream cones and pastries, smiling from ear to ear as they spoke about things I couldn’t hear. Whatever it was, I didn’t need to know. How close they were was upsetting enough. ‘They just stepped out for ice-cream. That’s okay.’ My pac
CHAPTER 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 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 42~ RICHARD ~“The question is very simple, Kimberly.” I walked away from the flowers and towards with the most intimidating steps I could come up with, but she would not budge.“As is the answer, but I’m not going to give it.”Her stubbornness was one of the cute features about her. I tho
CHAPTER 36: VACATION'S OVER~ RICHARD ~“Arghhh!!!” She yelled at the top of her voice as soon as she saw me. I must confess I was pretty terrified too, but I managed to keep it down as soon as I realized she was the one. “What is wrong with you?” She looked cute being scared. Holding her chest
