All Chapters of The Healer's Betrayal: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

My eyes fluttered open, and I winced as bright light almost blinded my vision. I closed my eyes immediately, raising my hands over my face.I heard a faint sigh and the sound of someone pulling the curtains down. I dropped my hand slowly as I observed my surroundings. The room looked expensive. It was furnished with things that probably cost more than anything I owned. The sweet scent of something hit me immediately.It was a delicious scent of rain, earth, and forest. I finally realized where it was coming from. It was Reid's scent. I've never been near a werewolf whose scent was this overwhelming, not even my dad.I tried to sit up, and I immediately winced at the sharp pain. Reid was at my bedside in seconds.“Easy there, you broke a few ribs from your impact with the tree.” My eyes almost fell out of their socket.Broken ribs?Those fools were paid to give me a few injuries, not totally kill me off. I gritted my teeth as I tried to sit up. Reid's hands gently found mine. My breat

“He's not going to make it right?” Reid said the instant we walked out of his dad's room. I looked up at his sad face, and the urge to ruthlessly tell him that his dad wasn't going to make it came over me, but I pushed it down. Maybe I can go on with it in a nicer way.“I saw the way you looked at him…there's no hope,” he said and let out a sad laugh.

There was something about them that felt as if I stared at it for way too long, I was going to disappear in their swirling dept

I held onto my bag tightly, my heart threatening to beat out of my chest. I tried thinking of whatever I might have possibly left behind on that table, but with the panic in me, I couldn't think straight.Reid turned, and I was speechless for a few seconds when he held up a dead flower that piqued my curiosity a few days back. I was trying to see if it had any medicinal benefits, but I had abandoned it on the table when I couldn't find anything.I was starting to worry that I got busted. I muttered under my breath as I explained what it was. He looked like he didn't understand what I was saying, so I just impatiently glanced at the door. He probably noticed because he dropped the flower back on the table and walked forward, offering to help me with my bag. I was surprised at the kind gesture, but I still let him carry it anyway without uttering a single word. I walked behind him, shutting the door as I took a last glance at the house that was starting to feel familiar despite spending
