Candice's POVI don't know what it was that made me walk about the hospital's corridor that night, but when I saw him, I understood. My entire accumulated anger from the day turned into pure joy from seeing him walk out from a ward. What did he come for? Was he ill?"You." He called sharply. I quickly went over to meet him, bowing slightly."Where is Susan?" He asked. I could detect an urgency in his voice."She is uh... In the theatre." I answered."Get her now!" He ordered. Huh? Did he not hear me?.I just said she is in the theatre!"Alpha Devon, she-""Don't test my patience, little girl." From the way he yelled, my poor heart began to race and I almost cried. It was hurtful when a scary person yelled at you, especially when you were not wrong. But it was even more hurtful when the man you love yell at you.I hurried to the theater where Susan was. When she saw me, her eyes hardened. I don't know why she was still mad at me, it was a simply mistake which I made."What are you doing
Olivia's POVI heard everything the nurse had told me. I refused to show that I was awake and why was she lying? I thought she was so brave that she could face anything that came her way. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling."Alright, Candice, can you go and see if Hal is done with the operation?" Susan asked, glaring at her.I watched everything unfold without making a single noise. Candice stared at her, trying to refute but Susan's glare was so strong she had to fake a smile."Alright. I will go and see how well Hal has performed." She said and left. Susan's gaze followed her movements as she left then she turned to Devon."I'm so sorry, Alpha Devon." She apologized. "The girl is always so excited to practice something she has been taught."Devon smiled a little. "That is alright, just ensure there isn't a repetition of this. If she has a lot to learn and practice, let her do it with other patients available in the hospital. I don't want her close to anyone I bring here."Su
Candice's POVI hated being sent away from the ward. I wanted to be there. I want to be there in every of their moment. I want to see everything they do when they are together. I cannot trust Susan to tell me. She does not support me vying for Devon to be mine and that tells a lot about her loyalty to me.I was enraged so I kept pacing the corridor. Hal had finished the surgery and came out with some other nurses, wheeling the patient to his ward. That was supposed to be me since I was on duty, but the fact that the man of my dreams was right in a separate ward with a mute fool who thinks she can steal him all because of some old wives' tale that she believes will work."Candice," Hal called. "I have searched everywhere for you, why didn't you show up since?"I glared at him. Why was he speaking so nicely to me? He was always so sarcastic when speaking to me, so why was he speaking so nicely now?"Cat got your tongue? Or are you the new mute in town?" He teased."Ah, shut up!" I snapp
Devon's POV I watched Susan leave and I smiled wickedly. Now I can fully tease this little girl before him. I loved the way her cheeks turned red when she was teased. Sometimes her ears would also turn red. "You always turn red when I speak to you, why?" I asked her. She refused to stare at me. "Olivia..." "You are ignoring your Alpha." I tried. She instantly shook her head and then her cheeks went even redder. It looked as if it would burst out and bleed if I poked it. I can't resist not touching this. I leaned in and poked her cheeks. They were warm and felt very soft. "You're just like a baby." I'm not a baby. She gestured to me. This should be fun. "Yes, you are." No, I'm not a baby. "You're a baby." Babies are not as big as I am. I stared at her from head to toe. "Big? You call this big? You are such a small girl. Short too." I could tell that she was getting quite pissed and I enjoyed it even more. "How do you feel?" I asked, leaving the play for another time. I
Olivia's POVI knew it! I just knew it! Candice hates me so much, so why would she be the one to come to my rescue when I need help? Why?From the moment I put my legs in the shoes, I felt a strange feeling. I just did not want to complain so I would not delay Devon any further. We had gone a little distance and I felt the pinching pain in my legs.Devon was already getting a little angry that I was walking so slowly, yet I stopped walking. I just had to endure till we got home. When we did, I hurried to my room, ignoring all his calls of care and concern. I was somehow jealous that he had called that witch Candy. It felt as if he had intentionally done it. I freed my legs from the boots and I noticed how swollen they were."What the hell is that?!" Devon demanded. I jolted in fright. Why did he yell so much?My eyes watered already. It was hurting so much, I couldn't walk at all. I couldn't even move my legs. Devon stood, staring at my swollen feet. He could not do anything, he was
Devon's POV I could see the shock on her face. I bet she did not expect me to pull such a stunt. Well, one had to be careful not to just trust anybody. Although she had proven to be a trustworthy person, I just can't shake off the feeling that something else might happen if I loose guard. "What? Do you think that I would just trust you over a few laughs we have shared?" I asked, smirking at her. "Come over, come and taste the meal." Sighing almost inaudibly, she walked slowly to the table and took a spoon of the rice. She ate it unhurriedly and swallowed it. She raised her both hands to show me that she was innocent. "Take another one." I urged. Alright, let me confess. The main reason for doing this is simply because I want her to feed me tonight. Don't ask me where I got the idea from, I also can not explain why I seem to be warming up to her and that too, too quickly. "Have another spoon." I said after she had swallowed the second. "You know what? Come and sit here with me."
Devon's POVIt was supposed to be a wonderful night, had it been she didn't make whimpering noises all through the night. I could hardly sleep at all. Just when I assumed I would sleep a little, I would hear her whimper and she would shrink and curl herself even as she sat on a chair, resting her head on my table.At one point, I couldn't take it anymore, so I got up and went to sit, watching her sleep restlessly. What was wrong with her? Why is she so disturbed?By morning, she woke up and she looked around. I decided to watch what she would do. Maybe she was pretending after all. Yes, she could be pretending to be mute when she wasn't.The girl stared and when she finally realized where she was, her eyes went wide as saucers, I was tempted to laugh.She bolted up from her seat and began to look around for me. When she did not see me, she sighed."Thank goodness." She whispered. I smirked. So she had been pretending all these while? She was only trying to buy sympathy? Who knows if s
Olivia's POV I knew how my actions has affected him. Yes, let's give him something to think about. This way, he can totally forget about doing anything to hurt me. I could see the surprise on his face as he watched me enter in with the tray of food. I placed it carefully on his table. I even went ahead to take four spoons of the food and then I stood by the side. He as quiet for a long time and I worried that the meal would get cold. If it got cold, he would not enjoy it and he would feel as if I have intentionally brought him a bad tasting meal just to anger him. Are you not eating? I gestured to him. He was still staring at me, not answering. I panicked. You don't like this food? Shall I make another one? "Olivia." He called firmly. "What is the meaning of this?" I made you dinner. I replied to him. "You made me dinner? Did I ask for dinner? Please take this trash away, I'm not hungry." He said harshly. That's a lie, I know you are hungry. Perhaps you feel bad that I seem t
