After all the drinking and cursing, we were trashed, When I sat down to rest a bit, the door of the booth opened. Due to the light inside the booth, we did not notice that it was already dark."Kingsley" Kelly stood up and rushed to him. He grabbed her because she was swaying on her feet."Get the princess too," I heard him say to someone, and when the person moved to where I was, I recognized him as Dean."Dean, long time no see," I said, then grabbed his clothesHe pulled me into his arms, trying to carry me in bridal style, but I pushed his hands off."Reagan would not like you touching me."He smiled. "Yes, but he is not here, and you are trying too drunk to walk back home by yourself."For some reason, reminding my drunk self that my mate was not here and his cousin was the one taking care of me made me feel somehow, so the water dam in my eye opened."I know. He is so angry with me and is in New York, and he wouldn't let me explain."Dean hugged me again, rubbing my head."Alix,

The next morning, before it was six o'clock, Rosette left to deliver the herb to the hospital. The woman, Shea, is a friend of Brian and had spotted the herb that helped heal wounds the day she visited them, but it had not been sun-dried, so she offered to bring it to her at the hospital.When she arrived, Shea was standing in front of the hospital. She rushed to her and tapped her."Rosette, good morning.""Good morning, Shea; here is the herb.""Thanks; I could have come to collect it."Rosette scoffed. "I told you that I will bring it, and it is already here. So take it already."She collected the herb and then hugged her. "Thank you. I feel so well knowing that Brian has someone like you. He used to be so cold and had no one and followed the prince everywhere, but now when he stops at the hospital for an errand or something, he will not stop talking about you, his mate, and also discuss it like a man in love."Rosette smiled shyly because she figured that it was what she wanted t

What was Reagan doing here? And why is he looking at me like that?I thought that he was still in New York and had no hopes of coming back. That he was so mad at me that he would not mind staying over there forever.I held his gaze, trying to get him to lower his face but he being Reagan refused to do so, He just kept looking at me with a smirk, I hissed and turned to the other side but he came into my line of vision again but he was talking with someone, probably an elder and laughing. I rolled my eyes this time and leaned my head on the table, trying to calm my drumming heart that refused to be still even though I just downed a glass of juice beside me. When lying there, I kept throwing glances at him, but I did it discreetly so I would not be caughtHe had a stubble now; his stubble is usually shaved, and it took him a maximum of three days to shave again, but this time. It looks like he hasn't shaved in a week or something.He was wearing his usual black clothes, a back shirt and

"Let me go right now," Rosette shouted, but he started to laugh.The other guards held her as she struggled, then another one covered her mouth while they tied her legs and hands.He carried her into their bedroom, which was soundproof."Let me go now, or I will scream.""Brian's bedroom is soundproof, so feel free to scream."Rosette started to get nervous immediately when she heard that the person she was dealing with knew this place better than she did. She could feel her b*tt sweating under the A.C."Let me go now, Grand-fool or whatever you call yourself because this won't end well for you," she said courageously, even though courage was the last thing she was feeling."Let you go? I thought I was a rat; the thing you should know is that I was here before you were born. I have been here since ages before your pitiful soul remembered that it wanted to come to the world. They found you in the streets, and I asked them to raise you, and you have the guts to say sh*t about me?""If y

She closed her eyes and was no longer speaking, and her breathing was shallow now."Alix, Alix!" I screamed, but she was not answering. She was only breathing slowly.I felt my wolf almost taking over, but I kept trying to push it back because I knew that letting him take control was not a good idea. it would destroy everything."Set me free!" It screamed in the back of my mind, but I shook my head.The more I tried to resist it, the more it pushed me. I growled so loudly that the whole pack must be awake.I jacked her up carefully, then was about to start running when Kingsley came out and he saw Alix lying limply in my hand."What is wrong with her?"I ignored him and started running to the hospital. I heard them following me, but I was focused on reaching the hospital.Immediately I reached, it I pushed the door open and headed inside. The doctors, nurses, and healers rushed after me.They directed me to the room; they wanted me to go in, then I put her on the bed, and I held the h
