Zoya’s P.O.V

I cut the call short. It had done nothing but make two things clear to me: they were

not my real friends, and they had always thought that I liked the unnecessary

attention Dr. Salvador had always treated me with. Jesus, now I really wanted to

throw up.

I was then painfully reminded of the truth: our small circle of peers at the hospital

had always been Jan's friends first, mine second. And maybe it was really true when

they said that Jan and I were unlikely friends, because it seemed that the truth of

the matter was that she had never really been my friend all along. What kind of

friend would watch and jeer from the sidelines as they watched Ravi cheat on me?

What kind of friend would fault me for being favored by a perverted senior? What kind of friend celebrated my loss as if it was their own gain?

The universe must really hate me for it to dump all of this shit on me in one go.

“Ah, you, there you are!” came a loud, but still clearly controlled, voice from the

  • Torn Between my Alpha Mates   Chapter 30: Adjustments Part 2

    Zoya’s P.O.VI found that the clinic was in a relatively decent condition with modern equipment and standardized facilities, even though there weren’t a lot of them. What’s good to note, though, was that there was at least an x-ray machine in the absence of an MRI or CT scan, but that much I had already expected from a small clinic in the middle of nowhere.I could not help but compare the tiny clinic to the New York hospital that I was supposed to work in, had things gone my way like I thought they would. I did not like to compare two vastly different things, but I really could not help it since this place was a far cry from the hustle and bustle of my previous workplace.I was used to having patients at every corner of the hospital, lines of people to attend to at every twist and turn. Medical services had always been in demand, especially for large cities like New York with a packed population. I was used to that, but the silence and stillness of the tiny clinic also felt like a re

  • Torn Between my Alpha Mates   Chapter 29: Adjustments Part 1

    Zoya’s P.O.VThe next morning, I woke up early to prepare for work. I was able to get some groceries yesterday, so today; I could actually cook food for myself… and Sam. As I whipped up a batch of banana pancakes, I could not help but think that this was something that I used to do for my fiancé as well as my cousin. I did not know whether that was a bad thing or not, or if I was falling back to old habits.Surely what happened between me and Ravi won’t happen to Sam and I, right? It was not like we were a couple, but I did not know what I would do if Sam turned out to be fooling me this whole time, after I decided to give him my full trust. I knew that it was probably not a good idea, but I trusted him anyway, because he gave me this sense of security and safety that I had never felt with anyone. I could not explain it, but he just made it easy for me to trust him, even if, logically, he had not done anything to prove that.After having my fill of the pancakes I made, I left some for

  • Torn Between my Alpha Mates   Chapter 28: Psychoanalysis Part 2

    Silas’s P.O.V“And two, you seem to know your way around. Just now, you knew where I got the food from just by tasting it.”Her voice turned thoughtful and she had this faraway look on her face that I could not read. But it was gone before I could think too much about it, and she snapped back to attention as if she did not just go somewhere else with her mind. “Is that enough psychoanalysis for you, Sam?”She did not lie; she truly was adept at reading people, but she did not need to know that, or else she would only find herself pulling closer and closer toward me. “Yeah, that’s enough,” was all I said in response, ignoring the way she was clearly expecting me to either validate or refute what she just concluded about me.“Well?” she prompted when I did not say anything else. “Was I right? How much of it was correct? Why don’t you tell me about yourself, Sam?”I did not answer, hoping that she would let the topic go when she saw that I had no interest or intention to answer. Alas, sh

  • Torn Between my Alpha Mates   Chapter 27: Psychoanalysis Part 1

    Silas’s P.O.VI awoke when I sensed that enticing smell of jasmine and roses again. I did not rise from my sleep so easily and without protest often, but the scent must have done something to my short temper because not once did I feel impatience bubble up inside me even though I still longed for more rest.She was back, and she brought food with her.“Hey,” she said, closing the door behind her. “I got you some food, though I don’t know whether this is to your liking. I think it tasted good.” She crossed the distance from the front door to the living room and placed the bag of food on the table. I sat up from my reclining position on the couch and watched as she took a seat on the adjacent chair.It was like she knew exactly what I was thinking. Either that or she simply cared about other people enough to know what they needed before they even asked her. The latter was the one that made the most sense, and perhaps that was the reason why she was a doctor, and why she was a good one.

  • Torn Between my Alpha Mates   Chapter 26: Talk of the Town

    Zoya’s P.O.VFor breakfast, I had found that there was nothing I could get Sam to cook after all as there was nothing but a loaf of sliced bread in one of the cupboards. We shared that plain loaf, none of us complaining about its blandness because we were so hungry that we did not have it in us to do so. And now I was starving again, craving for a late lunch, so I announced my departure, only to let Sam know and not to ask for his permission, and went to start my car.It took a few tries before I managed to get the engine running, and soon, I was heading down the mountain back toward the main town area. I managed to find my way there without needing to call for Cam, which was a small victory in itself, so I gave myself a small pat in the back. “For that, I deserved to eat whatever best-seller they have,” I said to myself as I pulled up to the parking lot of a local diner.The town, indeed, was bustling with life and not as abandoned as it had appeared to be in the middle of the night.
