I keep following Alexander as he walks inside the thick forest. The clouds have started changing form and the sun is returning back to its home preparing for the stars and moon to take over the sky in just less than a few hours.I take each step slowly following his lead. I don't want him to see me now. I want to know what he came into this forest to do alone.As Alexander saw an antelope rushing past him and his senses triggered and I saw him pull out a bow and arrow targeting the animal and he started shooting it. I watched in amazement at how good he shot arrows and he is very good at hunting animals.Strange isn't it? A billionaire having this kind of life is more like the second phase of his life. There's more to this guy that I need to know.Our regular might be fake but I suddenly have this desire to be part of this difficult life he is living. A life here in the pack where everything seems peaceful.Wow! I find myself saying as he shoots like a hunter. If anyone should tell me
Clara POV"Stay back Clara." I heard Alexander's warning, his body blocking my view of seeing these monsters properly.I was scared, shaking in fear I don't know what to do we are just two and these animals are up to five and I don't know how to f*cking fight."What are we going to do?" I muttered under my breath, fear visible in my voice."Just stay back, I'm going to protect us."Us? My eyes went wide open in shock. Did he just call me and him "US"? I don't know what this feeling is but I felt a tingling sensation erupting in my body as if we were real couples.Gulp hard and I try to remain calm like Alexander had told me he said he is going to protect us and I believe in him."Come and get me," Alexander screamed, luring them towards us, and immediately about three rogues came rushing towards our direction while he pulled out his arrow and he started shooting at them.He was fast and brave as his arrow hit one of the animals on the head and it collapsed to the floor.T
When two souls are connected Alexander POVLetting the cold water run through my body I felt relaxed and fresh as it dropped and washed away all complications.I felt fresh, washing away all the smell of the rogue and her scent.I came out of the bathroom and my eyes landed on the small woman sleeping on my bed. A frown lingered on my face but was later replaced with a smirk followed by a smile. She also made me change my frowning serious facial expression just by watching her. What more could she do to my body if we are close.Stubborn woman who never listens to my words. What was she thinking when she came out from her hiding spot?To protect me?Gosh, if only she knows that I'm the Alpha king she can't protect me but she endangered her life and called for me even when she knew that she might get hurt.I lean on my elbow and drink in her sleeping naked form. She looks so delicate when asleep, those tiny features and that slim body so fucking fragile it seems they can be broke
Clara POVI sucked in greedy air as I was startled awake from my scary dream, the same dream I keep having since the day I stepped foot here. How can one keep having the same dream over and over again as if there is something I need to grab and understand.But none of the dreams make sense. It's just like a video of my past life is being played before me. I don't know why but I feel a strong connection between me and that dream. It seems like a dream and more like a vision.A strong headache hit me on my head and it felt as if thousands of horses were walking in my head. This always happens when I don't take my meds for some days. Doctor Collins always warned me to take my drug daily but since the beginning of today I haven't taken it and it is having a bad effect on me.When my mother was still alive she made sure doctor Collins sent me my meds all the way from Bryxton city down to the small town we are residing. Mother told me that with my med my heart issue won't worsen but now it
Alexander POVI watched as she rushed out of my room in concern, the smile which I didn't notice until now lingered on my face. The expression on her face earlier made my smile widen the more.Clara cares about me.When did she start giving a f*ck about me getting hurt? The last time I received such treatment was ten years ago from that little girl in the basement.Watching how concerned she felt about my injury a few minutes ago makes a piece of ice in my heart break. The bridge which I have built behind me and anyone that tries to get through my walls she just broke some part of it.I heard it crack, the icing block in my heart. She just melts it from the moment she calls my name back then in the forest.But why did she care about me?Why the sudden change?I know I haven't been nice to her but here she is worried about me, the same person that doesn't want to spend a few seconds with me or be my fake wife.A few minutes later I had successfully worn a treasure and was about to put
Clara POVAs Laura pulled me away I felt a part of me getting sober as she dragged me out of Alexander's room. It felt as if I didn't want to leave him, as if I should spend more time with him.A frown crept on my face like a little child who is denied having candy or ice cream.Now that we are here in this pack, being Alexander's fake wife is not bad after all and at this moment I'm going to enjoy it with him until when he returns to being my arrogant proud bossy boss."Mother finds a way to help cure your health issue," Laura said, bringing me out of my thoughts."What did you mean?""There's a way you can live longer and won't have to experience heart failure."I was stunned by her statement is this some kind of joke or what.There's a way I can live longer than six months.There is a way I will still live to take care of Aria.I still have hope of living longer on earth.But how?Whatever way it is, I'm ready to undergo it. Laura held my hand as we made it towards the
CLARA POVI stay under the shower not the usual modern kind of shower, this is made with a metal frame painted to look like bamboo powered by a hand pump, and a chain when pushed will pump out water.I stayed in the shower longer than expected as my mind won't stop reminding me of every word spoken by Ms. Flora. It sounds strange but true and for the first time, my heart was accepting every word spoken by her.Had it been someone else that told me this I would have laughed at the person and called her a liar but strange enough I found my heart, my body, and the whole of myself accepting all of her words. Even when I don't want to set my hopes high there is still hope lingering at the side of my heart telling me that I can still live again.There's a way for me to live more than six months.A way for me to be there when my best friend Tricia will marry.A way for me to see my little girl achieve all her dreams of becoming a graduate and a successful artist.All that Ms. Flora said is
Clara Everdeen heaved a deep sigh stopping at the pavement of the house. She paused for a while as if having doubts about walking inside. Home was supposed to be welcoming and a place to relax after a long day full of stress but her home is nothing of such.It is always like a war zone all thanks to Kyle.Drawing an invisible sign of the cross and mumbling some silent prayer under her breath she pushed the door slowly. First, she pushed her head inside leaving the other part of her body outside before she tiptoed inside the room and closed the door gently behind her.It was quite late and she guessed Kyle would be back home, maybe patiently waiting for her if he is not yet drunk and fast asleep.She was afraid of meeting him awake not because she had done something really wrong but because he would be angry that his dinner was not yet served, which was never her fault.Not that she intentionally planned to come back home late, she was hooked up in traffic and her boss gave her some wo
