로그인Writer's POV As soon as Nathan wheels in, the hall erupts into shocking gasps. Cathylene staggers back. Shell shocked. Confused. Disorganized. “What… who… why is he…”She looks at Elder Tim. Looks at Chairman Bradley. None of them speaks. They can't. The two men are equally as shocked as she. Hannah is behind the wheel. She pushes Nathan further into the hall. Jaxon and Brenda, like wingmen, follow closely. “Hannah!” Liam springs up, delighted. He's been worried about how to find her. Guess he was worried for nothing. He attempts to run over to her, but Cathylene immediately orders for him to be subdued.She flashes him a glare that instantly pins him down. But Liam wouldn't stop looking at Hannah. He regrets it now. Hurting her… playing her… treating her like she wasn't worth anything when she's worth his life. “Hannah… Hannah… I love you…” he mutters, trying to reach Hannah through mindlink, hoping desperately that she would at least return his look. But Hannah would n
Writer's POV RE-ELECTION DAYThe Elders are gathered in the Pack Hall. Elder Tim and Chairman Bradley, as usual, are seated in the front roll of the pews, observing carefully.“Re-election? Who are the candidates!” One of the elders barked, surprised to hear there'll be a re-election. He's heard nothing about it. “Have you not been in this Pack, Elder Gaunt? It was clearly said in the last council meeting!” Another elder, clearly an ally of Elder Tim and Bradley counters sharply. “The only agreement we had is to know the state of our Alpha's health!” Elder Gaunt snaps back. “Our Alpha is still in the clinic. We cannot—”“For how long?” Elder Tim interjects. “How long will he be in a vegetable state?”Elder Gaunt turns and looks at him, jaw drawn open. Ignoring his surprised and disbelieving look, Elder Tim continues. “Doctor Hems has confirmed we don't know when he will wake. Do we live as a pack without a leader when we don't know when he will open his eyes again?”“Or if he
Writer's POV “This is good!” Cathylene gasps in sheer delight.Getting the news that Nathan’s health has deteriorated makes her almost want to squeal like a teenager.“Soon, this will be over…” she adds, slowly stepping away from the cell bars. Her eyes are looking but they are not seeing anything around her. They don't see the rusted iron bars or the pile of rots on the floor. Her mind is far away… at the coronation ceremony… seeing the crown on her head… seeing herself on the throne… “Yes, finally…” she breathes, still reeling in the exciting feelings. “Uhm!” Elder Tim clears his throat.And that's when she's pulled back to the moment.She turns, a smile plastered on her face. “Forgive me, gentlemen. Now where were we.”“Or wait.” She raise a hand, her eyebrows furrowing. “I need you to be certain with me… that there's no way that bastard will come back and ruin my grand plans…” she pauses, her mind drifting into thoughts. She hates to admit it, but there was something about
Hannah's POV And just then, suddenly the pain stops. First, I stop, my heart still beating heavily. But it slows as I try to figure out if the moon goddess truly has answered my prayers or it's just the usual break the pain gives me. “Hannah—”“You can talk from outside.” I cut in to the voice of Lola. “Please… I have come with no harm for you or for Nathan… let me in…”‘How about you letting her in? What's the worst she can do?’Rising to my feet, I unbolt the door.“Thanks for letting me in,” Lola says as she slowly walks in. Either she's changed so much since leaving the Durk's mansion, or the pain I'm feeling doesn't allow me to see her truly. But she looks tattered. Even her demeanour has changed. “Cathylene took everything away from me…” she says, a note of sadness in her voice. “She didn't just take my womb by bringing me closer to her useless son… she ruined my family and took everything away from us…” she spit with venom and hate. I imagine how she'll attack Cathyl
Hannah’s POV I had already dashed outside the room when a thought hit me…What if this new doctor that just entered is also one I can't trust?What if he's in cohort with the one that just left and they serve the same evil master… Cathylene?Yes, I know it's Cathylene and no one else. It can only be her handwork. Paying a fake doctor to sneak into Nathan's room. She wants to kill him after buying off those bastard elders. If she can cause the people’s opinions on the already concluded election to begin to shift, how much more can she do?Damnit, she's so terrifying! So unrepentant and I fucking detest her so much!Without another thought, I turn and run back inside. The doctor is examining Nathan's vitals on my arrival. I take a deep breath as I notice he seems to have flushed away whatever the fake doctor fixed, has put in a new drip, and now the machine seems to be signalling properly. “How's he? He'll make it, alright?” I ask stepping closer to take Nathan's hands. They are
Hannah's POV I'm happy for them… Jaxon and Brenda. While they were in the room, I’d smelt it—their mating scent. The smell of their heat. At first, I hadn't noticed until Brenda pulled me into her arms and hugged me for a long time. But I wasn't surprised. Although she had once been mated to Nathan, I always thought she was a perfect match for Jaxon. And now the moon goddess has mated them. “I'm happy for them,” I mutter out loud, feeling a pain inside my chest.Sometimes I think the moon goddess is only fair to some people. Because why am I always on the unlucky side?Why?Why does nothing ever work for me?What sins did I commit in my past life to be mated to one like Liam?I blink back my tears, swallowing painfully. I look around the room wondering what I haven't done yet in case the pain hits me suddenly again. Everything's in order. Only that Nathan hasn't still stirred since he was brought in.When did he love sleeping so much that he can't even try to move? Why won't
~Hannah~“Mate!”As Brenda falls into Nathan's arms, every bit of life in me collapses. I run inside, my legs heavy yet propelling me forward. My chest wants to explode from pain. I've always known things never work out for me. Why do I always forget and get excited for nothing?As I corner toward
~Hannah~“Liam wants you home right now,” Sylvia utters boldly, her arms folded across her chest. With the way her eyes are twinkling sinisterly, I feel a faint grip around my chest. “Why?” I ask. Because I know. For an evịl bị́xch like her to come all the way to the company to bring me back home
~Hannah~I lay on bed breathing heavily. Nathan's still watching me with—this proud look on his face. And there goes the shame. But instead of shame, I feel something has left me. Feeling a sense of dread, I stand up grabbing my clothes. “Baby? You okay?” “Nina,” I call. “Nina? Nina!”I panic a
~Hannah~It's already been over 5 days since Nathan left for Grimwood forest and still not back. The witch said if he doesn't make it back before the end of today, we should likely consider him dead and my chances of getting Nina unblocked, gone. I want Nina back so much…I miss her…she's my best f
