LISA’S POV“What do you want?” I hissed. when Jack tossed me into the room and closed the door behind him. I thought Kyle wanted to stab me or something but it turned out Ronan asked them to check if I was awake and to direct me to Ronan’s office“A hello would have been nice. It's been ages since we last met. It's a shame; I thought we’d get to catch up on things first,” he smirked, leaning into his seat behind the large mahogany desk.I had to hold back the laugh that was bubbling in my chest. “We have nothing to catch up on. Plus, I'd rather go deaf than spare you a minute of my time to catch up. Are you joking, or do you have amnesia? Have you forgotten how you betrayed me?”“Ouch,” he said, placing his hand on his chest, feigning hurt.“Each second I spend here is a waste of my time. I need you to tell me what the heck you want from me or let me be on my way. Unlike you, I have a life to get back to.” My words must’ve stung because I saw a slight change in his demeanour, but it f
LISA'S POV.“You still haven’t given me an answer. What is it going to be?”“Well,” he ran his thumb on his lips. “Okay, but add one little thing to that agreement. The healer said you could help, so unless she says you won't be of help, then you can leave and await the return of your journal.” I wanted to say no because I know I won't be of any help. I’m a doctor, a human doctor to be precise.“I know I’m not going to be of any help, but if you say so, then,” I shrugged.“Well, the healer is waiting,” he stood up. “Shall we?”I stood to my feet and followed behind him without any complaints, with hopes to get this over with so I can be on my way. I don’t know what or what it is now. I miss my babies so much. I’ve never been away from them this long. And I don’t know how long I’ve missed work for.We walked for at least ten minutes until we came to a stop, and he turned to me. “The healer is in there,” I simply nodded.He opened the door, motioning me to enter first, which I did. Ther
RONAN’S POV"You can read it before you sign it," Lisa pursed her lips."You wrote it, so I don’t think there's a need to read it. I trust you," I flashed her a smile, then flipped through the ten-page agreement she wrote. How she had time to write this bulky stuff in two days is a mystery to me.Lisa left the night I took her to visit Marien to get the journal and and settle things with her boss for the days she missed work, but lucky for her Jack wrote a nice message to one of her bosses that we do business with so wont get in trouble.I've tried a few times to convince her to come back to the pack, but she wouldn’t budge. And when I tried a few more times, she just ignored me. so I took that as my cue to take it down a notch.There's something about Elisa that keeps drawing me in. I kept finding myself looking at her body, and memories of that night we spent together seven years ago keeps playing in my head like a broken tape without an ending. with her scent around the only thing
LISA’S POV"The weather's nice today," Ronan commented. It was his third attempt to start a conversation, which I ignored. The last thing I wanted was to chat with him. Riding in the same car as him was bad enough.Part of me wanted to indulge, have a good conversation, and reminisce about the past like nothing happened. But I'm scared that a single conversation might make me forgive him, and I can't do that. Not now, not ever, maybe ever is a strong word I might forgive him but not yet.I might be able to forgive and forget everything else, but the betrayal of someone you thought was your friend—that's unforgettable. Even if you forgive them, those memories will always find a way to haunt you."You remember when we used to go for picnics on afternoons like this?" he persisted."I'll take a little nap, wake me when we get to town" I announced, pushing the button on the seat so it reclined. I turned to my side and closed my eyes. He knew I wasn't really sleeping, even if I were sleepy.
LISA’S POVI took a deep breath and softened my gaze at him.“Can you please unlock the door?” I say, this time calmer than before.“Wherever you're going must have been very important, and if you don't want me to go with you, then it's awful of me to try forcing my way,” he spoke, the disappointment in his voice evident.The car made a click sound, signifying he had unlocked the door.“Thank you,” I whispered before unlocking the door.I took a bus around the city while looking out the window, seizing every chance to see if Ronan was chasing after me or if he had actually left.Pulling out my phone from my pocket, I dialed Jessica’s number.After a few beeps, “You finally decided to call back,” Jessica says.“I’m sorry, I was a little busy and I couldn't pick--”“Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm getting a new dress; there's one in pink and another in black. I don’t know which one to get.”“And how am I supposed to know which one you should get?” I chuckled.“Just forget it, I’m buying both,
LISA’S POV“Ronan,” I called out, my voice hoarse from all the running, but he didn’t stop. I knew for a fact he could hear me.“Ronan,” I called out once again, but he just increased his speed, running faster than before.Training with Ronan wasn’t easy; it only got harder with each passing day. I didn’t know if he forgot the fact that I wasn’t as strong as him, or if he enjoyed tiring me out. I wasn’t as fast, almost because I couldn’t shift due to my weak wolf. Because of that, no one wanted to train with me and the pack members saw me as the perfect prey to pounce on whenever they felt bored.Ronan, on the other hand, had alpha blood. He was the next in line for his father’s title, the strongest fighter in the pack with impeccable martial arts skills, and his speed was immaculate. Sometimes, I wished I was half as fast as he was. Maybe then, I could stand up for myself against the bullies.“Ronan,” I called out his name; there was a few miles' distance between us, but with his se
LISA’S POV “I’m sorry,” I blurt out as Ronan throws me over his shoulder.“Not so fast, Lis. I haven’t even gotten started yet, and you're already apologizing?” I don’t need to see his face to know he's smirking.“I didn’t mean to push you into the mud with your fast reflexes and all I thought you’d block me. I guess you’re not as fast as they say,” I taunt with a snicker, but the low growl that erupts from his chest lets me know he doesn’t find my joke funny.“Ronan,” someone calls his name, and he stops in his tracks, turning to face the person. I try looking, but his broad shoulders are all I can see.“Please, let me go,” I plead, wiggling in his hold, but his firm grip keeps me in place.The pack members don't like me as it is, and if some blabbermouth sees me like this pinned on his shoulder, they won't hesitate to tell the ‘Ronan fan Club’ as I like to call them.They haven’t accepted themselves as his fan club, but the unmated she-wolves with nothing better to do in this pack
LISA'S POV“Oh my word, Lisa? who did this to you?” He kneels to my level, but I avoid eye contact, burying my face into the now-wet grass.Ronan is the last person I want to find me in this pathetic state; he will probably think I’m a weak wolf that can’t defend herself: it’s true, but it still hurts.A growl escapes Ronan's chest as he breaks the silver chains with a menacing sound. I unintentionally release a sigh when the pain the silver has been causing me seizes.He scoops me into his arms; my weak attempts to resist are silenced when he holds me so close to his chest.“I want names," he turns my face towards him, his eyes darkened, his fingers brushing my tangled hair away. Focusing my gaze on him wasn’t easy due to the heavy raindrops befalling my eyes making it hard to see.When I don’t respond, he didn't ask again but sprints out of the woods with me still tucked in the security of his arms, with no clue as to where he’s taking me.Until his house comes into view. Unlike the
