KeleighArnold walked right back in with a friend in his face just as I was about to head out of the room and o course, I did have a gazillion thoughts running my mind at that point. He could definitely not be there to hurt me, could he?I remained quiet as I stared at him still and he did the same too, looking quite exhausted.“Seeing you here at this time…I wasn’t expecting you.” I broke the deafening silence that was beginning to make me feel like a crazy woman. I had no idea what was going on through his mind but he did look like something was indeed going through his mind.“I was a little worried something could have happened to you.” He started and I arched my brows. What on earth was he talking about? Had they planned something else this time around?“What do you mean?” I probed even further. I was beginning to get quite confused.“The maid who served your meal had escaped and two of the guards were found dead. Perhaps, they had been poisoned.” He started. Just then, Ryker ram
~KeleighDisappointed in myself, I could not help but sit right on the floor still. I knew how bad it was for one to be let down. I tried to figure out what I wanted to say to them but there seemed to be nothing that came out of my mind. I could it string any word together.Perhaps, I should have trusted them. I should have believed there was no way they could hurt me. Maybe I should have known they cared about me and not want my downfall. Someone else was definitely behind it and was trying to cause between us and I guess it was happening.It was still strange to find out where he had been. Roman. I had not seen him since the previous day. Perhaps, the order for no one to one close to me had made him leave. Getting up and wiping off my tears, I headed out of my room, md instead to where I could possibly find him.I suddenly felt a grip on my shoulder and my eyes widened in surprise. A gazillion thoughts ran through my mind all at the same time. Arnold’s information about the maid mis
~KeleighTears strode down my cheeks as I watched them both walk away from them, Ryker not staring at me not even for a second. Guilt filled me immediately and I felt so alone. The brothers seemed to he in a rush as they walked away from me.I tried to go after them but they had gone into their room, leaving me no chance to speak with them. Determined not to let go, I sat by their door, waiting for them to walk out of the room again. Seconds rolled into minutes and minutes into hours and I could not help but be surprised at why they had refused to come out. Perhaps, because they were aware I was in there?After what seemed like forever, a guard came to their door, bowed at me and frantically placed a knock on the door. My brows arched and I looked up at him, wondering what was happening. He on the other hand seemed quite worried and scared.On the fourth knock, the door flung open and both of the Alphas walked out, staggering, obviously drunk. I gasped at looking at them as I wondere
KeleighThe next couple of days were not so easy for me. The cycle repeated itself over and over again. Neither of them seemed to pay me any attention whatsoever neither did they agree to have breakfast or any meal whatsoever with me. The silence treatment they were giving me was killing me and it felt like I was beginning to lose my mind.Instead, they had been more concerned about finding the maid who had escaped and bring whoever had poisoned me. It was nice to see they really did care about me and wanted me to be safe. With an hopeful heart, I stepped out of my room that morning and headed to have breakfast. The duo had barely began to have breakfast but the moment they saw me, they stood up to leave, leaving me all by myself.I tried to speak with them but neither of them seemed to want to listen to me. Immediately, I lost my appetite and stood up instead. Roman had tried to speak to me throughout that period but he was the last person I wanted to see. He had been the main reaso
KeleighI was displeased as I hoped and prayed it was not really what I had thought. He could not have betrayed me like that, no he would not. Whatever it was, I liked to associate it is it the fact that his love for me was the only force propelling him to exhibit such attitude. It could not what I was thinking. Far from itA knock on the door brought my attention back to reality. I arched my brows as I wondered who could be there at that time of the night. I heard the knock for the second time.Walking up to the door, I opened it gently. I was not prepared for what I saw that very minute. I gasped as I stared still, dumbstruck.“Would you… allow me in?” He questioned, bringing me back to my senses. “I am sorry.” I muttered and opened the door wide for him. Arnold was the last person I expected to see that very minute. I folded my hands behind me, quite nervous, rather flustered.He had a blank expression on his face and somehow, it did bother her. He however remained quiet as she loo
KeleighThe frown on his face was infectious and it was quick to affect me. I hated the fact that I had to have a frown on as well. I was quite sad and heartbroken but I could not do anything about it.“Why are you here? There are other important things to do.” He started, looking at his brother and my heart shattered as I lowered my head. I was certain there is nothing they had to do. He just did not want him to he anywhere near me. He wanted him away from me and it shattered my heart.“Well, I am here to see her because…. “ He started.“The pack should be your priority. Nothing else should capture your attention like the pack. The pack should b your number one priority. Remember that always.” He responded. I was about to speak when he suddenly turned to leave.Without thinking, I gripped his hands immediately. He arched his brows as he looked at me like I had done the unforgivable. Tears strode down my eyes and I felt so bad. I hoped he would take pity on me and listen to all I hav
KeleighThose words were definitely the last words he had expected to hear. He looked quite surprised and worried that I was saying those words.“Listen, I know you are worried that everything is not going the way we planned it but we just have to….”“No, not at all. I am not upset for any reason. I just do know want to create a rift between you both. I do not want to be the reason why you bout will get involved in a fight. I do not want to be…. The reason why two brothers would separate.” I explained and let out a sigh.“You are not going to be the reason why we would get into an argument. We are not going to get into an argument either. We just….” He started.“I am indeed grateful for your help but no, thanks. I can handle this myself. I would like to handle it myself. I do not want you to get involved in any of it.” I responded.I didn’t give him the liberty to speak on the matter anymore as I began to eat almost immediately. Left with no choice, he began to eat as well, keeping hi
KeleighMy sense of reasoning seemed to go off that minute as I could not think straight. Nothing seemed to be going on well. His judgement got me quite scared and I hoped it was not really what I thought.“I am very sorry, my Lord. We could not stop the poison in tine….” He halted. My heart raced so hard as I awaited my judgement. Arnold was also quite worried and even though he tried to hide it, I could see fear evident in his eyes. He held me tightly, waiting for his judgement.“But we have tried all we can to make sure it does not spread further. The Alpha has been treated. It would however taken some time for him to heal. It was a very dangerous poison that could cause his death if he had not been tended to in time. Thankfully, we have been able to treat him.” He responded and a sigh escaped my lips. I was relieved he was totally fine and would be back to function even if it was going to take time.Arnold became calmer we well. Neither of us could imagine our lives without him. It
