Third Person POV Vandyke made sure Roberta and Alison were placed in VIP wards though he didn’t allow them to be in the same ward. He was by Alison’s side as the doctors attended to her and he was there when they left her to sleep. He sat by her side, watching her face, hoping that she would be fine when she woke up again. Cory was back at the company going around and making sure that every office property was safe and in their right place. He got to where his father and the rest of the rescue team were supposed to be but miraculously his father was nowhere to be found. He approached Alpha Garry and started asking questions. “Have you seen Dad? Is he still in the flood?” “No” Alpha Garry shook his head, “some victims had passed out so he took them to the hospital.” Cory wasn’t surprised that his father would drive through the flood but why didn’t he take all the victims? Is it because they were conscious? Even if they were, they still needed medical attention. “What

Alison POVOn the second day of admission, I was already doing great. I sat on my bed and had my lunch. The nurse attending to me came by to do her checkup, so I seized the opportunity to ask questions.“I heard that the longer you stay here the more the bills pile up, is that true?”“Yes it is, it’s calculated per night.”I gasped, I have to be out of here by tonight if I don’t want to owe a fortune.“But you’re Mr. Van Dyke’s family right? He’s taken care of everything.”“Oh,” I managed to muffle, why on earth would he list me as his family member when I don’t even know him? What kind of family members sleep with each other? Oh did he mean husband and wife? No, no, he can’t be serious. What happened between us was a one-time thing that had left me afraid and ashamed to look him in the eye.Maybe I should escape from this place before he gets back, I looked around to see if I had any belongings in the room. My phone, my purse, my laptop. Where are they? Did they drown with me? Oh goo

Ralph’s POV It had been one month since the flood incident, and most shops had been closed down and Elektro had relocated. I wonder what happened to Alison, I hope she found another job, a good job. I’ve been actively trying to push her out of my mind, but it’s not working. Not a single day passes without me wondering what she’s up to. There was a knock on my office door, and I looked up with a frown. It was Melody, she walked in with a package. She must have ordered takeout for lunch again. Honestly, she’s trying her best, but the problem is that I don’t feel the same about her. I feel bad for her. “Alpha Ralph, I think you should take a break and eat something. I ordered some stir-fry noodles.” She called out sweetly. My wolf purred, maybe I should break up with her, she’s too kind for an emotionally unavailable man like me. My wolf growled and agreed with me, She led the way to the kitchen and as we sat down I purred, I know this is going to hurt her but I have to do it for my

Alison's POVOur first day at work was not very eventful. By 5 pm, our first shift was over. Roberta and I sat in the massage room, chatting with our new colleague, who knew more about the job and could spare us a trick or two. “One thing about this job is that you can survive on tips and keep your paycheck in your account and make a deposit on your dream house in 2 years.” He said.Roberta and I were mesmerized by those words, “you’re kidding me!” Roberta exclaimed.“I kid you not,” Dennis replied.“How long have you been here?” Roberta asked again.“Next Wednesday is my work anniversary. I will be one year here. The truth is, very rich and powerful people frequent this place; it’s your job as a masseuse to be able to tell what they really want. Some want a quiet massage, some need someone to talk to, and if you’re able to decipher between these two types of clients, your tips will be huge. It took me a long while to figure that out.”I’m good at reading moods, so this shouldn’t be

Alison POV I sighed and walked past him like I didn’t even know him. I could hear his footsteps behind me. When I got to my apartment door I turned and faced him. “You have a girlfriend and she loves you, why are you doing this?” He stood akimbo, his eyes filled with disappointment. “I only dated her because I was trying hard to forget about you.” My mouth dropped open, saying that was wild. I must have underestimated myself because I never thought I could colonize the mind of a man of his status. This was hard to believe. “You’re kidding?” I chuckled. “It sounds funny, right? But I’m not joking, ever since that day, you’ve been on my mind, is it my fault that I want you?” I didn’t know how to feel about this, I wanted to seduce him for revenge and I did. I thought he would be over this by now because he uses and discards women overnight so why couldn’t he just let me go? Am I supposed to feel special? Maybe he feels used and dumped so he wants to get back at me, he wants
