“What woods?” Eliana asked, still confused.“I encountered a man in the woods while searching for my sister, that was the reason I needed up here?” I looked at the Alpha to see him still in thought.“How did he get into the castle? He isn’t from the pack is he?” Eliana’s brows were creased.“He had a rogue scent and some other scent I couldn’t identify,” The Alpha answered.“Why is he after you? You don’t know this man from Adams right?” Eliana turned again to face me.“Nope, never met him in my life. Except for that particular day”.Sighing, he shifted his focus to me. “Rodor said you’ll be discharged in a few days. Once he gets his hands on the medicine” I bobbed my head. I was tired already of being on this bed day in and day out. “Alright” He gave Eliana a look and I looked at her to see her nod. I knew they were communicating and I wondered what it was.“You’ll be staying with me when you’re discharged” He stated.“I’m sorry what?” I must not have heard him right.“You heard me
Alpha Keanu’s POVJade was still asleep when I woke up. My eyes were glued to her throughout the night. I had moved her to the bed and draped a blanket over her as soon as she fell asleep and I slept on the couch. She was such a stubborn little human. Watching her sleep peacefully stirred different emotions in me and it wasn’t helping that Lore wanted to touch and hold her all night. It took all my strength to restrain him. I need a long ass run to clear my head of her scent that has been clouding my head since I walked into this room. It was still very early as I stepped out and walked down to the woods outside the castle. Changing to my wolf, I sprint out on a run. We ran for hours and Lore was yet to tire out. It’s been a long time since I let him out and with everything that went on for the past few days, he needed the run to release all the piled up emotions we both felt from when Jade was stabbed to now. I let him run for a few more hours till the sun was fully up. Then we walk
I stood outside the door of the new room wondering if the Alpha would let Sheila come see me here sometimes. I watched as some girls finished up with their cleaning and changed the sheets. I honestly felt bad watching them do it and judging from the huge scowls on their face, they weren’t the happiest either. I would have chosen to clean it myself but just like yesterday, I woke up very late again. The softness of his bed elongated my stay in dreamland and by the time I woke up and walked in here, the girls were rounding up.I returned to the Alpha’s room to eat and then shower because I didn’t have any supplies I would use in the new room. He sat and ate with me only taking a small amount of food. He finished up fast and before he could leave the room I stopped him.“Can my friend, Sheila come up here sometimes?” That room was very big, maybe not at big as his but still it was too big and lonely. I was already used to spending my day and night with Sheila. “This wing is off limits”
“Excuse me?” I almost yelled.“What do you mean she would be staying in my room?”“Can you please give us some minutes?” He turned to her.“Sure, I’ll step out” She stood flashing me a wicked smile as she walked past me. “That room was a guest room used to welcome special visitors” He continued after she closed the door.Oh, so she is special. This is ridiculous. Is he chasing me out for her to stay in the room or is he expecting me to share the room with her?“And where do you expect me to stay? For this special visitor of yours to take the room”“My room. Where you were supposed to stay” He deadpanned.“You know what? I’m going back to the girl's quarters, your special visitor might as well sleep in your room”“Are you jealous right now?”I huffed “What? You wish” I quickly defended.“I don’t have time for tantrums. You will do no such thing. She is only here for a few days. You have no choice, little human”“She must be really special if you’re asking me to leave the room for her”
He hastily walked into his closet, appearing seconds later with a shirt on and unbuttoned.“Who did that to you?” I was still in shock. His eyes darted back and forth between mine, taking in the horror on my face.“It’s none of your business,” he said before walking out of the room. I stared after the locked door. What kind of monster did that to him? The scars were fully healed but his back has been destroyed. I waited for him to return but he didn’t and so I went back to sleep. Waking up next, I noticed he wasn’t still back yet. I walked out of the room, wondering where he slept. I didn’t have to wonder for too long because I met him downstairs heading outside the castle with Amice beside him. Did he sleep in her room? I was confused about how they were together this early. Upon getting closer to them, I heard Amice ask.“Can I see the greenhouse? Do you still have it around here?” Her voice was soft like she couldn’t hurt a fly, but I know better than that.“Yeah, I’ll show you,”
I moved back into the guest room after Amice left, it was no longer news to me that the heat period affects me too. Moving out of the Alpha’s room was definitely a good idea, to avoid bending to my body’s needs in this heat. I was finally good and my wound fully closed up with the passing of days. I was starting training with Aztec today, so I got ready and walked with him to the training ground.The warriors were in their training leathers sparring each other, Personally, it looked way too serious to be called training or sparring. Some of them fought in wolf form while the others fought in human form. I stood on a training mat with Aztec and we faced each other.“Now you are going to come at me, give me your deadliest punch” his knees were bent and the top of his body bent forward while he set his arm in front of him, his palm facing me.“Come on human show me what you got”I launched closer, throwing my fists in his raised palm.I cringed at how weak my punches were and how unaffe
I had cried myself to sleep on the floor and my body wasn’t happy about it. My head was aching terribly and my body was weak. I was glad I managed to get up here last night without anybody noticing my state. All I wanted to do right now was stay back in bed till I felt better but if I missed my training with the Alpha, he’d definitely come to check on me and that was the last thing I needed, Explaining what happened to me. So I got up, got ready, and went to the training ground.He was already on ground, looking as good as ever. I was hoping something would come up and he wouldn’t be able to show up but he was standing on the training mat, watching the warriors train. Now I just hope this will go faster and maybe easier too. “You’re late,” He said when I got closer before turning to look at me.His eyes scanned my face.“What’s wrong? Are you sick?” I stepped onto the training mat. “Will you let me go back if I am?” I looked at him hoping that he would say yes.“Let’s begin,” He repl
I couldn’t shake off the bad feeling I had for some reason. I was worried about Aztec and also worried about Keanu. I didn’t sleep a wink throughout the night and it was now morning. I heard a soft knock on my door and hurried to open it. “Tolan?” My voice held surprise. The Alpha had left with some warriors and Tolan was the head warrior, he should be with them. What was he doing here?“Good morning Jade” He greeted with a little smile.“Why are you here? You didn’t go with the Alpha yesterday?”“No, he instructed me to stay and watch you while he is gone. And I’ll be training with you this morning too”My heart melted. Tolan was his strongest warrior and he thought about me enough to ask him to stay and watch me despite our argument. It didn’t sit right with me that our last conversation ended in a fight. I hoped with everything in me that he was okay.I didn’t think I was in the right state of mind for training but on the other hand, it’ll be a good form of distraction. Tolan wa
