Pain. Mild pain was the first feeling that greeted me as I slowly revived back to consciousness. My vision were hazy and gradually adjusting to the yellow lights. My arms and legs were chained with silver to the wooden chair I was seated on. I could feel the chains mercilessly burning my skin whenever they touched. There was also a drip like tube passed into my hands while wolfsbane slowly crawled it's way from a tank into my system. Two of Werewolves dangerous weakness were being bestowed to me for a reason I knew not.
My head raged with a migraine, my muscles were weakening and aching from the poison entertaining my system. My breaths were receding, touring out weak and unsteady. I tried to fight against this pain, to break from the clutches of chains and poison but unfortunately, my body had already failed to yield to that resolve. The last I remembered was seeing Jerry at my door step and getting hit with goodness knows what."I'm sorry, Claire." I mumbled while I relentlessly kissed her left palm. There she was, on my bed. Her body burning at a high temperature, sweats broke on her forehead while her eyes were barely opened. I cried regardless of the Deltas and Gabriel that surrounded us."I'm sorry for being a disappointing mate!" I continued. "I'm sorry for not being there for you, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, I'm sorry I failed you, don't leave me please." I pleaded. "I won't be able to forgive myself." I whispered to myself while my hands clutched to her palm hoping she won't lose consciousness. The door opened for some figures to saunter in but I didn't bother. My whole concentration was on Claire."I need everyone apart from the medical staffs to leave now." My mother pronounced with all authority and immediately, they all left my room in silence. I stayed regardless, seated by Claire's side cryi
"I'm sorry for being a disappointing mate!" He continued. "I'm sorry for not being there for you, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, I'm sorry I failed you but please don't leave me " He pleaded. "I won't be able to forgive myself." He whisperedHearing those precious words from my mate last night was what saved me from crossing the thin line between life and death. As I emerged from the bathroom, dressed in a pink off shoulder top and blue jean I reminisced about last night. If anyone had told me Jerry could be that monstrous, I would have outrightly denied it. He was someone I considered a friend until yesterday. I toured about my mate's room whilst tolerating the mild pain that still raged in my muscles. Thanks to Kevin, I survived. I leaned against his luxurious wardrobe with my eyes staring at the king size bed where we sat side by side earlier this morning. Leaning against his perfect shoulder while our ha
"Are you ready?" I asked, staring deep into Claire's eyes. She nodded."Are you sure?" I asked again. As hard as I tried to read them, I couldn't phantom what was going on in her mind."Gosh Kevin, you've asked me this same question for like the hundredth time!" She chuckled lightly but I heaved a sigh. This was no laughing matter."Claire, yesterday was traumatic for both of us. I don't want you to be hurt again or feel bad even in the slightest." I mumbled hoping she would understand my own point of view. I recalled my mother advising me to let Claire stay clear of stress related issues. But here she was, seated in my car parked in front of Greenville High Court. I alongside the elders of Greenville were going to give our verdict upon Jerry and his criminalistic friends.
The Morning rays dawning on my face complemented with the chirping of birds gently woke me from my beautiful sleep. For the first time in days, I actually enjoyed my sleep thanks to my affectionate Alpha. My eyes opened abruptly when I couldn't feel his warmth nor his touch over me again. Only his scent remained on the bedsheets. A part of me had wished his arms were still curled around my waist while I woke up to his steely chest. I alighted from the bed, thinking about my work in Greenville High. One Kevin had relieved me of. To be honest, my body wasn't inclined towards boring school files too. I rather dreamed to spend time with my mate.And speaking of Mates, I wondered where Kevin had wandered too. I checked the bathroom but he wasn't there, hence I trailed downstairs where Gabriel's voice screeched."My Goodness! Kevin what have you done?!" He bl
"We have a trespasser"My gaze wavered between Claire and Gabriel before wearing my shirt back. I was angry but I hid it. The fact Gabriel has ruined our steamy moment irked me to my marrows."Send her in." Gabriel looked to the door while I took a protective stance beside my mate. My eyes furrowed at the raggedly looking old woman who the guards ushered in. Her black hair, dirty as the mud and her black gown looking faded and tattered all over. As she stared at me meters away, Her Chestnut brown eyes looked familiar, it reminded of someone so dear. But I briskly shove those thoughts away, from her malnourished appearance alone I knew she wasn't my Pack Member."Kevin!" She chirped in a soft voice which sounded overly familiar and tried to reach me but my guards held her back.
"Wakie Wakie."I recognized that voice that whispered by my ear. That honey scent which greeted my nostrils for a brief second, they were enough to jerk me from my beautiful sleep. Rather I turned on my bed, pulling the blanket so I could get my sleep back."Kevin wake up!" Claire pitched as she strolled to our wardrobe."What time is it?" I grumbled, still reluctant to open my eyes. I clung unto my pillow, imagining it was her for a split second."This is past six.""Past six? It's too early." I replied in a faint tone. "Claire come back to bed." I whispered already feeling my sleep returning. I usually wake up by ten or eleven in the morning but this past few da
"Claire." I mumbled as she walked past me, I tried to hold her but she rewarded me with a deadly stare."Don't. Even. Think of following me." She warned in an icy tone before easing through the door. I froze and perhaps my heart stopped for a split second too."Are you happy now?" Gabriel finally found his tongue."Kevin do you realize what you've done?" Uncle Walker added. His tone and countenance expressing nothing but disappointments."You disrespected a fellow Alpha, you've created bad blood between Red Rose Pack and Greenville!You've might have as well indirectly created a war!""There is no war." I asserted. "If he loves himself, he's not going to wa
"Now you look perfect." Said Gabriel as he stood by my side, admiring my blazing suit in front of the full length mirror. I wore an anxious smile even though I hated the way my hair was streamlined backwards. I preferred my usual style but Gabriel wouldn't let me. Now I looked like a corporate businessman."I'm scared." I didn't know when those words rolled out but I needed his advice regardless."About what?""That I may end up ruining everything or that I might bore her. This is my first time doing something like this." I responded, my eyes still mirroring my reflection."Kevin." He patted my back gently, somewhat in a fatherly manner. "You'll do just fine. Just follow your heart or let Lupus take th
