Nolan's POV"Thank you so much." I heard her voice fade as I made my way further.Just moments ago, we were standing opposite each other, her eyes burning into mine.My wolf wanted to speak, but what was I going to say?'I missed you so much. Come back home with me?'Of course I missed her!But none of that mattered now.The events leading to my marriage had been slowly going on at the surface level. I don't know why I hesitated, though; I kept on pushing it.After the university's graduation ceremony. I said at first.And now, it was... After my trip.Funny how I still don't know who I'm getting married to, and I never cared to ask or do any research. I just entrusted everything into the hands of Kim and the elders.I made my way to another section of the hotel, just enjoying the beautiful work the construction team had put together.This particular side was circular in nature, a little different from what was rampant in the industry.I saw Kim from the other end of the hallway.He l
Ronnie's POV At one point, I found myself re-reading the same paragraph five different times without understanding a single thing.Goddess.Why was his existence so distracting?Could it possibly be that Nolan sent him to spy on me? I rubbed at my forehead tiredly before continuing to type again.But honestly?I was exhausted.I hadn’t slept properly in days.Between preparing for the trip, finishing the revisions, emotional stress, and everything else happening in my life...My body was beginning to surrender.Still, I tried fighting it.I adjusted in my seat slightly before forcing my eyes back onto the laptop screen again.A few minutes later, my blinking became slower.Then slower.Then...Darkness.****I didn’t know how long I had been asleep.All I knew was that the soft voice from the aircraft speakers slowly dragged me back into consciousness.“Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelts as we prepare for landing.”I frowned slightly while opening my eyes slowly.My
Ronnie's POV "But why did the flight have to be delayed?" I complained, letting out a long sigh of frustration.The attendant behind the counter gave me that rehearsed smile, the one that said 'I've answered this question fourteen times today and I'm tired of all of you.'"We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, ma'am. If you could just wait over...""Right." I cut her off before she could finish. There was no point. No definite answer was coming, and I knew it.I dragged myself to the row of seats by the corner and dropped into one, pulling out my laptop before I'd even fully settled. The project was already opened right before me. I had checked it this morning. And last night. And the night before that. But my fingers were already scrolling over it again like I could suddenly find something new this time around.I was halfway through the third module when I heard it."Ronita!"My fingers froze on the keyboard.I looked up slowly.The fuck?The words never made it past my lip
Nolan’s POVSomething was wrong with Kim.Not physically.If anything, he still carried himself the exact same way he always did, shoulders straight, expression controlled, with sharp movements.Anyone looking from the outside would probably think nothing had changed.But I knew Kim too well.And right now?The silence around him felt heavier than usual.The drive to the airport remained quiet.Rain droplets slid lazily across the tinted windows of the black SUV while the city slowly disappeared behind us.Kim sat in the front passenger seat beside the driver.As always.Alert.Composed.Professional.But there was something off about the energy around him.Even the driver seemed uncomfortable under the weight of it.I leaned my head slightly against the seat while my eyes remained fixed on the back of Kim’s head.His posture looked stiff, like he was barely holding himself together.Every now and then, his jaw tightened subtly.Then relaxed again.Then tightened.His fingers rested a
Kim's POV A loud laugh exploded from Olivia's mouth... "Oh my Gosh! The King's Beta really thinks he would be able to win my heart." The laugh continued, breaking every spell that seemed to have been on me just moments ago. Everyone suddenly turned to us, the laughter, chatter and dances stopped almost immediately. Even the music... it faded. She pulled away from me, turning to the crowd. "I'm sorry to break it to you, but I don't do Beta's. It's king or nothing." A good number of the students burst into laughter, looking at me in a way that almost made me burst through those doors. "He's not that bad though..." Someone from a corner of the room whispered."Of course, he's not. He has the body. The brain. And even the strength." She stated, her hands trailing over my body as she said those words. "But he'll never be a fit for someone like me. I'm a freaking princess for crying out loud." She said dramatically. Something pierced me in my chest, something I couldn't explain. B
Kim's POVI let out a heavy sigh as I watched Olivia look like a lost sheep in a pretty dress.She stood alongside the two girls from earlier and some other girls from her department. One of them was Mena, the granddaughter of Elder Benjamin. The rest... I knew some of them by face, but I had no idea what their names were."I can't stop imagining what the after-party would be like." One of the girls said."Gosh...""And the moment where I get to dance with Jose… Girlll I’m screaming…” The girls screamed like crazy little girls who were in fantasy land.Olivia, on the other hand, just sighed like she didn't want to be a part of that conversation.I looked down at my wrist watch, worried about how long this was taking. She wasn't interested in their conversation, yet she wouldn't leave them.I shouldn't have convinced his majesty to stay today, else I wouldn't be here.I was kind of used to waiting, but it was more around the King and other men of his caliber. I also waited for my siste
