Danica’s POV I had barely taken two steps when I felt a hand wrap around my arm, pulling me back with a force that clearly had me tumbling directly into the assailant's chest.Finn.My heart skipped three beats not because this felt thrilling even in the slightest… but because I just almost fucking fall face first into the ground and it was all because of Finn.Finn. Finn. Finn!!!!I pushed him off immediately, so hard he hadn't even expected that sort of strength from just one push.I was heaving, glaring at him and if glares could kill, I swear he'd be buried at the deepest trenches of the surface of the earth.“What the fuck was that for, Finn? I'm sure we aren't even close enough to have you touching me without my permission… but then you pulled me? Deliberately, so I could fall into your chest like you're a knight in disgusting armor?” I blurted at once, irritation curling tight in the pit of my stomach. And I don't even know why the fuck I feel so irritated right now. My skin
Danica’s POV It's been a while since I got to one of the most scanty coffee shops around the Pack, and I've been so engrossed in my research that I didn't even realize that I'd spent hours on sitting until the constant drag of someone's shoes stole my undivided attention.My head snapped backwards, fast enough to catch who the annoying person was but then Killian's smirking face came to view.“Killian…” I trailed off, tone as firm as steel but he didn't let me finish.“Don't you need something softer to clear your head? You've taken fifteen cups of coffees in the past five hours” he interrupted and my brows creased. What the… FIVE HOURS??!!“You mean, I've spent five hours sitting? And what? Fifteen cups of coffee?” I exclaimed and he shrugged.“Five hours, twenty nine minutes, thirteen seconds to be precise” he added and I almost choked on nothing because I still had a whole lot of things to do. Shopping included.“Uhm, no thank you, Killian. I don't need anything from you” I mutte
Danica’s POV The girls and I hung out till late in the evening, yesterday, before they finally left. Each one after the other, with Anabel going first and then Bianca followed much later after making sure she gave me all the moral support I needed. She even promised a three-day sleepover if I succeeded in the surgery, which she knew I would. It was the perfect deal breaker. Having my best friend sleeping over for three days after it feels like it has been forever since we've had a few days of girl time without distraction? I just couldn't wait.I was humming a tune as I brushed my teeth; naked as hell in the bathroom. I mean, it's not like anyone would walk into my room and see that I'm naked anyway.The interactions with my friends made me feel impossibly light. Like I could conquer anything until today and tomorrow is over.I wriggled my hips as I washed off my toothbrush, singing after a song we listened to during the girls hangout.‘Don't want you in my bloodline, yuh’‘Just wan
Danica’s POV I have been on a panic rampage since I woke up early this morning. At first, it was just slight nervousness, but then it became full-blown panic ever since I checked in on the patient's condition.Whatever confidence I had felt while consoling Alexander last night was gone in a blink… just like that.I was still pacing in the hallway, dreading going back into the clinic when I heard voices. Deep, not one, not two, not even three. The voices drew closer and I gasped when the fifth voice spoke. “Can you not argue like teens right now? Y'all are ministers for Hades' sake” Alexander's unmistakable voice sounded and my heart skipped two beats… maybe three.I tried to run but there's only one way to run without looking like a fool, and it would be me going in the exact part of the hallway where those voices are coming from. And that, on its own, would make me look like an idiot, so I resumed pacing, slowly this time, acting all natural like I was waiting for someone. I'd say
Danica's POV The entire day passed by at a torturously slow pace. Each time I shut my eyes to sleep and I wake up again to realize I only slept for thirty minutes almost drove me over the damn edge. Jasmine came in thrice to help with my bath, breakfast, and lunch. Eventually, I stopped avoiding the book and at 7pm, I was halfway through the book… yeah, just like that. It's one hour until dinner and I'm literally counting my fingers for Alexander's arrival. Dinner came in, I tried not to be tempted to eat until he came back, but eventually I did. At 9pm. Yet he was nowhere to be found. Not even a trace of him. At first, I began to pout, then I started to worry. It isn't so impossible to have an Alpha still out there working by 11pm, but it made me worry still. Sleep had long deserted me, but I couldn't step out of this room without making it so obvious that I'd spent the entire day in someone else's room. Because, like always, he'd gotten rid of my clothes and the only option w
Alexander's POV “It is only right that you make a final judgement now, Alpha. You can't keep them locked up forever, you know that, right?” Blake insisted and I was literally fighting back the urge to cut him off completely with the Alpha command he couldn't resist, but that wouldn't affect just him, everyone at the Pack house would be affected.We have been on this for the past hour but he’s been acting like a child. I couldn't help but think of calling his mate to have him distracted or something.“I can keep them locked forever, Blake. It doesn't take me a single lift of my finger. And you know that” I muttered casually, completely relaxed like I haven't been having this same back and forth with him for over an hour.“But your mate wouldn't like that.” He muttered and I froze.He always had the tendency of bringing Danica into an argument between us but each time he does it seems to leave me surprised because somehow it always got to me.“What would she think when she realized tha
