It all made sense now.The herbs and the plants all over the place. It made sense that he was the Pack’s doctor. It just hadn’t made sense to me that such a person would want to talk to a slave in a kind manner.The woman hadn’t noticed me yet. Her head was still lowered. I could sense the amount of sorrow she was drowning in. The child must be a special one or an only child. I thought.“Let’s go.” I heard Nick say and turned sharply to stare at him.I caught his eyes on me.Had he been referring to me or the woman?Already the woman was standing. But he was still looking at me.“Is she coming with us?” I heard the woman ask; her question echoed my exact thoughts. But I could hear the skepticism in her voice. I knew then that I shouldn’t be running rounds with a doctor.“Yes, she is,” Nick replied, and I balked. Was this man trying to put me in trouble?Turning aside to look at the woman, I could see her reluctance in the drooping down of her shoulders, and in the scrutiny of her gaz

We have been working for three hours now on a stretch, or rather Nick has been doing so, while I had just stayed close and watched, making sure to pick up some details which might be important in the nearest future, since I had more of a photographic memory; one good thing that the goddess blessed me with at least, and which had helped my transition into the nerd’s base during my high school days.The boy was sleeping now, as Nick ran a purplish liquid around his skin like a snail. Perhaps, to cover up the sores or something. I’m not sure.Before we had started the treatment though, Nick had made sure that we had taken a potion from a small bottle. According to him, the sour liquid was supposed to make us immune to the plague. I had almost asked him why he hadn’t made it in large quantities and distributed it to the whole pack. That way, the plague would be curbed. But you know me, I had kept shut, waiting for the right time to broach the topic.“We are done now.” Nick stated after he

"Why did you take the slave girl to Mark's house, Nick; knowing his unacceptance of them?" Seth asked, as his eyes darted from the doctor to the girl behind him, whilst holding himself from pushing away the doctor who served as an obstruction to his coveting the girl."I took her because I needed her aid in the healing process. His son is besotted with the plague already. I had believed that he would be bothered about the wellbeing of his son, not the unworthiness of a slave. Seems, I was wrong. His hatred for the young girl outlasted that of the concern for his son. So disgusting." Nick answered, his voice seasoned with anger, his lips turned up in contempt and disgust for the ungrateful fellow.Seth suspired as he heard the words of the Pack's doctor.He knew that no matter how hard he wanted to snatch the slave girl away from him right now, he couldn't. The man had some valid points. Although, he didn't know the feelings associated with having a son or daughter, he believed that i

Olivera sighed in relief as she walked into Nick's house. Ever since the time that she had left with him away from the man who had intercepted them and had roasted them with questions, she had been on a high alert, thoroughly scared that perhaps the next minute, the Alpha of the pack would come barrelling towards them, and taking her away from her new friend.The facial expression of the man who she was sure was of a high ranking when she had turned around to cast a timid look at him, had also chilled up her bones. It was no different from the other bulky man from last night.Perverts. She thought angrily, settling on the sofas which welcomed and soothed her nerves."Are you okay?" She heard Nick ask, and nodded.She was nowhere okay though, but he didn't need to know that. He didn't need to go overboard because of her. The Alpha was ruthless, as she had heard, and she didn't want him being in trouble with the later."Don't worry your pretty head about nothing. I will be fine. I'm the

There was a knock on the door."I believe my friend is the one knocking now." Nick said, standing up from the seat, and walking towards the front door.But alas, when he opened the door, he met the Beta of the Pack."Evening Roland." He greeted with a smile, shaking hands with the tall and lanky blonde."Evening Nick." Roland replied in a gruffy tone which signifed that he was not really in a chirpy mood."What happened?" Nick asked his friend who shared the same views with him on the slaves decree."What did you do?" Roland asked, furrowing his eyebrows at his friend."Well, it depends. What happened?" Nick queried, repeating his earlier question; though he had a feeling on what the problem was already."You tried to colonize a slave for yourself? You employed her as your apprentice? What the hell were you thinking? I know you never agreed to the slaves decree, hell! I didn't too, and I still don't, but we have to obey the decree at least to some extent." Roland rasped, sadness more
