Rex“Apothecarist? Like someone from ancient times.”Why hadn't Nate told her of all the other people that existed in our world? Everything always seemed to be a shock for her.“If you would have gone further than the gardens, you would have noticed that there are other things here. Not just Wolves, Lycans and Humans. But what concerns me right now is that you don’t even question where the potion comes from. Not once have you asked. You just take it.”She scowls at me as I walk away.It didn’t take long to find Rosa. As usual, she was in her little herb garden. She doesn’t look up as I approach.“I keep telling you, Alpha Rex. I cannot make it stronger, nor would I want to.”“She’s ill.”Her purple eyes flash in my direction. “Ill?”She sounded offended. Like I was accusing her of something.“Could it have something to do with the potion?”“Excuse me?” She drops her wicker basket and moves towards me. A skinny finger pointed at me. “Do you think that I could have made a mistake? That

RexThree times I check on her before Lola corners me. I was surprised she waited so long.“You shouldn’t be here!” I growl as she forces herself into my office.“I want to see her.”“She’s sleeping. Now I suggest you go and do what ever it is you are doing.”“Why won’t you let me see her?”“She’s resting. She needs it. People don’t just get over being poisoned.”“What did that woman do to her?” She demands, folding her arms up over her chest. Her eyes narrow to slits. “Did she hurt her?”“As I have already told you, Rosa saved her life. Elsa would be dead right now if it wasn't for Rosa.”“But she isn’t a doctor. I’ve seen her around, picking plants, plucking fruit from trees. She ignores everyone.”“You and I see things very differently, Lola. But if you must know, Rosa has been a part of this family for a very long time. And I will not tolerate anyone talking about her like this.”She closes her mouth, her dark eyes on me. “Fine, please just let me see her.”“Why, so you can repor

RexIt wasn’t long before I could hear them arguing. Elsa was the loudest out of the pair of them. I could barely make out what Lola was saying, but Elsa, she was very loud and very clear. Shouting wasn’t usually something she did, even when upset.“You stupid cow!” Elsa screeches.I make my way out of the office. Neither of them were in my room, they were both standing outside the bedroom door. Lola’s head was low.“How could you, Lola!” Elsa’s hands were on her hips. “How could you do this to me?”“I was just looking out for you.”“This isn’t looking out for me. You know he tried to kill me, right. You saw it happen? You watched him stab me?”Nate, they were arguing about him. What the hell had Lola done?“Elsa, he’s my brother.”“But he isn’t though is he?” Elsa snaps. I felt like I should step in. That it would be the right thing to do. Both were oblivious that I was standing there. But I also wanted to see how Elsa handled herself.“He’s looked out for me my whole life.”“He s

NateOur numbers had grown. Wolves and Lycans were coming out of hiding to join Finn on his mission.Corina questioned me daily. Challenging me for more information. Her and Finn were desperate to find out if I knew something about Elsa.Sticking to my plan, I tell them nothing. I don’t even tell them that Lola has been in contact with me. Or that I speak to her almost daily.Lola couldn’t explain to me how Elsa was alive. Or how it had taken over a week for the poison to kick in. She should have been dead.But she does explain to me how Elsa’s presence disappeared. That Rex was giving her something to keep her hidden from me.Right now, Finn and Corina were arguing about the next steps, taking my thoughts away from my mate. The women who I was supposed to stand by.“We can’t kill them all.” Finn is yelling. “Some can be used as slaves.”“You really want to give them a chance, there will be an uprising!” Corina snaps back.“I know what I’m doing, Corina. And honestly, I’m getting fed

Elsa“Deadly Nightshade?”“Humans may also know it as ‘Belladonna’.” Rosa is staring back at her cottage “I’m sorry, Alpha Rex. I should have recognised it. When I saw her stomach, I should have known.”“Rosa, you recognised it eventually.” Rex mutters but his grey eyes are on me.“No. This isn’t good enough.” Rosa scolds herself. “I could have killed her.”“But you didn’t.” Rex tries to reassure her as she continues to blame herself.“What did you mean that he wasn’t playing around? Where would Nate have even found it?”“Deadly Nightshade is a poison that can be harmful to many creatures. There are only a few who can consume it without serious consequences. The man that stabbed you, ensured it would latch on to your organs. He wanted you dead. As to where he came in to possession? I do not know."“He never suggested that he wanted me dead.” I look into Rex’s grey eyes. “There was never any sign of it. Never…. He asked me to speak to him about things. Tell him whatever was on my mind.
