KeleighA knock on the door suddenly broke the tension between us. We both looked away from each other, quite shy and bothered. The knock on the door resounded again.“I will go get the door. You can lay on the bed on whichever side you wish to take. “ he spoke and I nodded. My heart however did not stop racing as I walked over to the side of the bed, facing the wall. It was better that way and I would definitely not feel awkward.He walked over to the door and opened it.“Hey brother…. How are you doing? Is something wrong?” He questioned and I immediately knew it was Arnold. I was quite vexed yet I lay there on the bed. He walked into the room and was about to speak when he saw me laying on the bed.“I had no idea you had a guest.” He spoke and crossed his hands behind him, looking away from me and diverting his gaze to his brother.“Guest…..” Ryker chuckled. “Come on, it’s Keleigh and not a guest. By the way, she is only here for the night because she could not spend the night in h
KeleighThe thoughts crossed my mind and it suddenly made me feel sick. What if whoever it was had indeed been a member of the pack and was still within the pack or was hosted by one of the guards?I really did meant to speak with Ryker but he was fast asleep. What if he really didn’t believe me and only see me as delusional. Perhaps, he agreed to my explanation just to make me feel comfortable?I shook my head and laid on the bed instead, shutting my eyes tight, hoping to drift off into sleep and after a couple of minutes later, I did fall asleep.I was awoken the next morning by the beautiful aroma coming from the kitchen. The maids were indeed doing a very good job.“Good morning, beautiful.” Ryker’s face was the first face I saw when I opened my eyes. My first vision. My lips curved into a smile. I had not been so comfortable in so long. His room was warm and cool and… amazing. I just lovers every part of it. I felt so shy laying on his bed right there with him while nothing was g
~KeleighI hated the fact that I was not trusted by either of the brothers. How could they imagine I had made something that great, up? How could I have decided them all? There was possibly no way I could lie to them both just to spend the night in Ryker’s room.“Keleigh….” Arnold ran after me and right behind him was Ryker.'”I am very sorry, I did not mean to upset you. I just …. I am very sorry.” Arnold responded and held my hands in his. “I am very sorry for making you feel bad and making you feel that you are not doing enough. You are doing beyond great. Whoever it is, we would find out and make sure he is punished.”I could barely believe Arnold could apologize to me. He had been acting quite strange to me. What made you change his mind this time? I however shrugged the thoughts aside.“We are very sorry for making you feel bad. We should not have done that. Just like Arnold had said, we will find out whoever is behind this whole thing and make sure he is genuinely punished.” He
KeleighRoman did try to convince me but I could not believe any of the words he was saying. If he didn’t try to abduct me, who then would? Somehow, I felt he had an hand in it. He knew about what had happenedHe possibly could have organized the attack. Somehow, I felt convinced that it was him but how could I prove him guilty when I had no proof? There was nothing with which I could mail him to the cross.A gazillion thoughts crossed my mind all at the same time and even though I did try to act like I was not bothered, I was.“Now, if you will excuse me, I have to leave for something quite important.” He walked away from me, leaving me dumbfounded. Perhaps, he was right. What if it was really not him? What if whoever had brought about the attack was not willing to kill me? What if it was a she and not a he? Perhaps, it was Selene.What if she had come to hurt me simply because of the brothers? I knew she liked them and would do anything to have them but would killing me be her next
~KeleighWhile the brothers carried on with what they were doing, I on the other hand was more concerned about what I could do to get whosever was behind the whole drama. I was rarely alone without guards and maids as I was still scared. The memory had still not left my mind. It bothered me so much and I wished I could do something about it.Just then, it crossed my mind. I ordered for one of the guards to come into the room. I had written a letter to the Crescent pack. I really wanted to know if Roman had gone to the pack or not just like he claimed.“Here…” I handed the letter over to the guard with a smile on my face as it was neatly held together.. “Give this letter to the Alpha of the pack and no, do not disclose where you are going to anyone. Not even the Alphas. If anyone tries to pressure you into telling them what I had sent you for, kindly remind them to come and see me personally. Do not disclose this letter to anyone and do not let anyone see it’s content.” I ordered him
~KeleighI felt a little betrayed. Of course, I trusted them so much and I always wanted to be with them no matter what happened. How then could they think I would leave all alone? How then could they think I would leave them for a safer pack? If anything was going to happen, then we wild be there together. We would be by each other’s side.I was definitely not going to lay low and pretend. That was not possible. That was the last thing I would ever do. Cowardice was not in our blood line and it would not start from me.“Keleigh…..” I could hear Ryker’s voice as he walked after me. I just wished he would stop following me and let me be.“I really do not want to see you or speak to you. I need my privacy.” I responded, walki g as fast as I could.“Come on! Please, listen to me. Listen to what I have to say and them you can understand.” He pleaded.“There is nothing….. to understand.” I halted and turned to look at him. “We havw been together for how long? And now that there are challe
KeleighStaying in Ryker’s room was to be very honest was quite amazing. I somehow envied him he really did enjoy luxury and I wished I could partake it in just as much as he did. The guard I had sent for the trip returned a couple of hours later.The Alpha had asked for him when a census was going on but I had specially told covered up for. I could not let Ryker get to know about it. In the process of him getting to know it, someone else might get an hang of it and the need would definitely spread like wildfire even till Roman would get to know about it.Thankfully, the guard had returned home, untouched and injured and I was so glad as I had prayer on his behalf about it. K did not want to be the reason why anyone would get injured. H handed over he letter to me with a bow and I took it quickly to check its content. I wished and hoped it would be what was I was expecting.My expectations were however cut short when I checked through it. I had to check it over and over again to make
~KelieghWatching her get locked up was one of the best feeling I had had on a very long time. Now, peace could reign and everywhere would be come. Her violent spirit would have some rest. Again, I became worried. Having her here with us kind of placed us in danger. It seemed like the root trouble needed to come in with. I was terrified.I knew I had to speak with the brothers. She had to be monitored properly otherwise she could endanger our lives and that would even be worse. I headed downstairs immediately with the as purpose of seeing them. They boy looked quite shocked to see , perhaps, not exercise my presence.“I saw everything hat happened.” I revealed to them and they were even more shocked. “I heard her say she had come for me, to finish me off completely. Do you both now believe she was the one who had attacked me initially?” I questioned and they both nodded.Now, they understood what I was talking about and could tell I was not lying.“Why I am grateful and happy that sh
