~KeleighTrust was something I could not let out so easily. Once bitten, twice shy. Although Ryker trusted him so much, I didn’t. I always ensured to keep an eye on him and all of his activities. He had tried to avoid me but on occasions when he couldn’t, he would simply flash a smile at me. He was one hell of a con artist and I was going to expose him.A few days after he arrived, I had laid in my room, waiting for the soothing arms of slumber to embrace me. My thoughts however did not elude roman and Selene and Jake. Ryker had finally recovered and he had continued to carry on with his task as the Alpha alongside Arnold.Just then, I heard footsteps behind my window. Discarding the thoughts, I believed it was definitely some maids and guards maybe but I was suddenly forced to get up when I felt someone jump into my room. At first, I thought I was being delusional or perhaps, hearing things but the moment I stood up, I was terrified by the figure that hovered over me. Before I could
~KeleighArnold acted quite strange sometimes but that time was one of the most bizarre moments I had ever experienced with him. He did not seem quite bothered about what was going on. Heading out of the room immediately, he shut the door behind me, leaving me all by myself, right there, outside his rom.I headed out of the room and straight outside the hall where Ryker was. He had gathered all the guards and all the maids and some of them had begun to look around to see if there was any stranger who had gotten into the pack.The guards had the gate had also been summoned while another set had been asked to safeguard the gate till the previous ones return.“We could not find anyone, my Alpha.” One of the guards spoke and I arched my brows. I was beginning to feel quite uncomfortable. It felt like I was lying. How could I convince them all that I was saying the truth?“We ensured the security was very tight, my Lord. Nothing has happened. No one has come into the pack.” Another guard a
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
