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
~KeleighDisbelief churned through me as I was not sure his hand moved. I looked up at him and he was still unconscious. Was I losing my mind? Or was I imagining things?Regardless, I held his hands still, occasionally placed kisses on it and waiting for any change but there was nothing. I was a little worried as several hours had passed yet he was still unconscious. My mind drifted off to Jake. He definitely could have done this. I doubted if there is anyone else who could have shot him with a poisoned arrow. Only Jake could. I tried so hard to visualize who the traitor in the pack could be but no image formed in my head.At that point, I believed I had it all figured out. Whoever it was that was working for Jake and Selene had been the one that had somehow gotten my food poisoned. He or she had informed that the Alpha was not present hence the reason for them coming once again and wanting to attack him. I was however baffled.If the goal was me, they would definitely have attacked t
~KeleighThe next couple of days passed by rather quickly. Ryker had begun to get better and even though our relationship was not like before, it had however begun to get better. Arnold was however always available and we spent most of our time together.Ryker was recovering quite well and the royal physician had given us positive results. Things had been going on quite well again although all our movements had been restricted. I could not go outside the pack as Arnold was scared, I could be attacked.When Ryker finally recovered, we finally decided to discuss what had happened. Roman was however frequent, always running errands and we saw even more. Most times, he did try to speak to me but I did not grant him a listening ear. I could not afford to get manipulated once again.Arnold had continually sent men out to find out what they could about who had attacked his brother and had also sent for more Alphas who had gifted them more soldiers to fight with them.The maid who had served
~KeleighRoman was quite as he stared at me. I folded my hands and arched my brows. I really wanted to hear what he had to say.“What? You suddenly can’t speak?” I questioned again. I just could not wait to hand him over at the revelation of the truth. Everyone had to be proud of me and know the truth.He let out a loud laughter, shaking his head and crossed his hands.“Wow! You should take the job of a detective, really? I am sorry to disappoint you but your analysis is wrong. I had a long day and I really have to retire for the night. Carry on with your investigative business. Do have a good rest.” He spoke before leaving and I on the other hand, stood there, dumbfounded.Somehow, I was convinced that it was really him but until I had proven that he was really the one, there was nothing I could hold against him.Quickly, I headed to my room. It had indeed been a very long day. After a couple of minutes of waiting and waiting, I finally drifted off to sleep. I was awoken the next mo
~RomanKeleigh’s accusation had struck my heart so bad that I doubted myself for a couple of seconds. Of course, I had done nothing wrong hence it was quite upsetting to see her accuse me in such manner. She seemed to be so in love with the men and I knew I had to do everything and anything possible to bring her back to me.I could not afford to let her slide off my hands to the Alphas when they could conveniently get whatever girl they wanted. It would simply be so foolish of me to let go. I wasn’t going to let go so easily.The next couple of days were not so easy for me as the brothers were always around her and the relationship between them began to bloom. It was heart breaking for me as she never wanted to see me or speak to me.I however devised a plan. I had just one savior.... Jake and I had to make use of his help but leaving the pack to find him was quite difficult. I knew I had to come up with a lie hence the next day, I hurried to the Alphas’ room.Like always, Keleigh was
~RomanThe moment the Alpha released me, I went back to my base to prepare for all the next day had to bring. A smile formed on my face as I mapped out my plan of what to do. I could tell Keleigh was trying to hard to keep a tab on me but I definitely knew what I was doing so no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to get me. I however pretended not to be aware of all that she was doing.The next day, I was however able to set out before anyone awakens. I had to see Jake as soon as possible. I had taken all I was going to need for the journey although it was just for a day. The journey was quite hectic but my determination to get what I wanted kept me going.Later that morning, I arrived at Jake’s pack. Of course, I was the last person he would expect to see. The maids however ushered me to a room as they claim the Alpha was in an important meeting. Waiting patiently, I knew he would not be able to turn down my offer. After what seemed like forever, I was later granted a
~KeleighRoman’s sudden ‘visit’ to a friend got me quite confused. Of course, I knew there was more to it. I had barely seen him travel, that to, to visit a friend. I had no idea what friend she was talking to. I however decided to keep an eye on him. I tried so hard to make him unaware as to make sure I found out where he was heading to.“My lady..” One of the guards walked up to me the next morning, bowing.“Where is he?” I questioned, my hands behind me as I paced up and down. I had to find out what he was up to.“We are sorry, my lady but....he left very early this morning. We had no idea how he left.” He spoke and my brows arched. I was disappointed in the fact that they had allowed him slip out of their fingers. I knew he was quite crafty but how could they let him slip out of their hands?Was he aware that I was keeping tab on him? Perhaps, he knew he was being monitored hence the reason for taking such drastic step.“you have no idea where he passed and when he left?” I questi
