NoraA sigh of relief left me as I saw who it was: the young girl I had been introduced to earlier.With a bright smile planted on her face, she said, "Dr. Nora, I have come to see if there is anything you need. I will be personally serving you during your stay here." Her positive energy was infectious, although this was not the time; I didn't need any of that around me at the moment."I don't need anything!" I snapped dismissively, my voice a bit hostile, causing the smile on her face to die a slow death and was replaced by a look of dejection.For some reason, her new demeanor due to my harsh response made my heart ache. Trying to make amends, I asked with a slight smile stretching my lips, "What is your lovely name again, young lady?"In an instant, her face lit up again. "My name is Loritta, Doctor."I offered her a warm smile as I placed my hand on my forehead, rubbing it again. "Lorrita, I have a throbbing headache. Will you be kind enough to get my aspirin and a glass of water?

~NoraMy heart plummeted to the pit of my stomach at his words. He was clearly very angry. He flung the axe behind his shoulder; it was almost as though he was ready to attack."I asked a question, kid. You better start talking." The hatred in his voice was unmistakable. He still loathed me and I wasn't surprised, i deserved everything I was getting."Please, Beta Ken, put the axe down. Let's talk," I pleaded.He narrowed his eyes, "You don't tell me what to do, Nora! What are you doing in my house? It is true I banished you from entry into this pack years ago, but it isn't exactly ours right now, so I do not have the right to prevent you from coming to the pack. But this is my house! My territory, and you are not welcome here!" His last words were laced with so much anger and hurt as he growled, his brown eyes turning yellow. I had to take a step back."Calm down, Beta Ken. I am here to remedy that," I panicked, sending a prayer to the moon goddess to prevent him from changing to hi

KlausIt was getting dark already, and Nora wasn't back yet. When I asked her where she was headed, the only answer she deemed fit to give me was that she needed to get supplies for my father's treatment. That was all. She had said it without looking back, like I was some kind of plague she couldn't wait to get away from.I was sitting in a swing chair leaning by one of the windows in my room, waiting patiently to hear the sound of the car driving in—her car. This particular window provides the view to the driveway and garage. If she comes back, I would know.I had decided to watch out for her from my room, as doing so from any other place would raise suspicions from gawking eyes in the corners. I didn't want any rumors spreading about me stalking my father's doctor who used to be my ex, although only one person knows about the latter for now: Justin.He had tried earlier on to piss me off when he met Nora in the hallway and tried to tell her my little secret. Thankfully, he had veere

NoraIt has been five days already, and I still can't get those disturbing questions out of my head. The questions my best friend Frank had posed to me on my way back home from getting the herbs.It could be anyone at all, but then this person would be someone who has the resources and power to pull this off. Who could that be? I have had a list of suspects, and even Klaus was on that list. My wolf thinks I have gone nuts for thinking Klaus could do something like that."Why would he poison his father and leave him in a comatose state for that long just to have him get cured, does that even make sense?" she had asked."It might not make sense to you, but considering what we have been through at the hands of that man, anything is possible."I had loved him, bared my soul to him, believed everything he had told me because I trusted him so much, and what did I receive in return? The worst betrayal I can't even wish for my worst enemy. All my family members, every single person that made

KlausI walked out of the dining room so pissed off. What the hell was that all about? All the bickering between Claudia and Nora. Claudia clearly started it. She was obviously trying to make Nora jealous, but that backfired real quick, and I was caught in the crossfire again! She had to use those words again, the same words she had used five days ago when telling Claudia reasons why she would not be with me.I had actually been lowkey enjoying how she was standing up for herself and not letting Claudia trample all over her, but then she suddenly came for me. I was not her type? Did she really have to say that again? Those words had hurt me the first time, and hearing it again in the dining room not only hurt me but clawed at my skin. I was so infuriated.When she said she was engaged, that added fuel to the burning fire in me and caused me to react the way I did. Who the hell is that man she is engaged to?"Klaus?" I turned to see Claudia behind me. I hadn't even noticed she had foll
