The next morning, before it was six o'clock, Rosette left to deliver the herb to the hospital. The woman, Shea, is a friend of Brian and had spotted the herb that helped heal wounds the day she visited them, but it had not been sun-dried, so she offered to bring it to her at the hospital.When she arrived, Shea was standing in front of the hospital. She rushed to her and tapped her."Rosette, good morning.""Good morning, Shea; here is the herb.""Thanks; I could have come to collect it."Rosette scoffed. "I told you that I will bring it, and it is already here. So take it already."She collected the herb and then hugged her. "Thank you. I feel so well knowing that Brian has someone like you. He used to be so cold and had no one and followed the prince everywhere, but now when he stops at the hospital for an errand or something, he will not stop talking about you, his mate, and also discuss it like a man in love."Rosette smiled shyly because she figured that it was what she wanted t
"Alix, pass me the chili," Kelly said and I handed it to her."Thanks," she replied, then put a little over her food."I can't believe that you are still putting pepper on top of the food," Kingsley said."And why is that?" She asked him."Because I am eating the food with you and the food is already so spicy, I do not understand why you are adding more pepper to it."She rolled her eyes and said, "Leave me alone, king; I just want more pepper. I do not see what is wrong with that. Or is there?"He shook his head. "No, baby. Sorry, my bad. Will you forgive me?"Kelly was just about to talk when I interrupted her."Can you both stop shoving your lovey-dovey shit in my face? I am trying to eat here.""No, we can't." She answered me and started kissing him."Disgusting. That shit is disgusting. Do you know how many bacteria can be spread through the mouth?"Kingsley scoffed. "I do not see you complain about bacteria when my brother is kissing you and filling you up."I shrugged. "That wa
What was Reagan doing here? And why is he looking at me like that?I thought that he was still in New York and had no hopes of coming back. That he was so mad at me that he would not mind staying over there forever.I held his gaze, trying to get him to lower his face but he being Reagan refused to do so, He just kept looking at me with a smirk, I hissed and turned to the other side but he came into my line of vision again but he was talking with someone, probably an elder and laughing. I rolled my eyes this time and leaned my head on the table, trying to calm my drumming heart that refused to be still even though I just downed a glass of juice beside me. When lying there, I kept throwing glances at him, but I did it discreetly so I would not be caughtHe had a stubble now; his stubble is usually shaved, and it took him a maximum of three days to shave again, but this time. It looks like he hasn't shaved in a week or something.He was wearing his usual black clothes, a back shirt and
"What you should be worried about now is whether you are physically and psychologically ready for a baby. Because it is you who will carry the baby, give birth to her, and nurture her; she is yours forever. You know that, right?"She nodded. "I do.""So instead of being concerned about those things, be worried about yourself. you are here wasting your time on me, worrying about the fact that I might get jealous or maybe angry. What do you think I am, and who does that?"She smiled and said, "My friend is good at putting on a brave front and hiding the fact that she is hurt, and the person who does that is her best friend.""Well, the friend wants you to focus on yourself and not be worried about her.""You know I cannot do that; we have had each other's backs since forever.""Yeah, we do; now let me ask you. Do you think you are okay enough to have a baby, like mentally stable enough for a baby?""I don't know; I just never thought if I wanted it; I just thought about how you might fe
"Let me go right now," Rosette shouted, but he started to laugh.The other guards held her as she struggled, then another one covered her mouth while they tied her legs and hands.He carried her into their bedroom, which was soundproof."Let me go now, or I will scream.""Brian's bedroom is soundproof, so feel free to scream."Rosette started to get nervous immediately when she heard that the person she was dealing with knew this place better than she did. She could feel her b*tt sweating under the A.C."Let me go now, Grand-fool or whatever you call yourself because this won't end well for you," she said courageously, even though courage was the last thing she was feeling."Let you go? I thought I was a rat; the thing you should know is that I was here before you were born. I have been here since ages before your pitiful soul remembered that it wanted to come to the world. They found you in the streets, and I asked them to raise you, and you have the guts to say sh*t about me?""If y
If I had a chance, I would have ignored Reagan, but I was dying, and he was my only hope."Help, I am dying." I managed to get out."Are you trying to trick me into feeling sorry for you after lying to me and then ganging my parents against me?" he said angrily.I wanted to shout at the fool to take me to the hospital that I was dying when I started coughing out blood, then I clutched my stomach.He rushed to me and helped me up. I was still vomiting, and some of it was on his shirt."Alix, what is wrong? Are you hurt?""No, but my stomach is killing me, and I am......" I started coughing up again, feeling dizzy this time.He held me and found a robe, which he was putting on me. I was still coughing, and when then I sneezed with all the strength in me, and that was the only thing I remember. Reagan povLife without her in New York has been hard. From the first time I left in anger and crashed into my parent's place at night, I sorely missed her. I wa
She closed her eyes and was no longer speaking, and her breathing was shallow now."Alix, Alix!" I screamed, but she was not answering. She was only breathing slowly.I felt my wolf almost taking over, but I kept trying to push it back because I knew that letting him take control was not a good idea. it would destroy everything."Set me free!" It screamed in the back of my mind, but I shook my head.The more I tried to resist it, the more it pushed me. I growled so loudly that the whole pack must be awake.I jacked her up carefully, then was about to start running when Kingsley came out and he saw Alix lying limply in my hand."What is wrong with her?"I ignored him and started running to the hospital. I heard them following me, but I was focused on reaching the hospital.Immediately I reached, it I pushed the door open and headed inside. The doctors, nurses, and healers rushed after me.They directed me to the room; they wanted me to go in, then I put her on the bed, and I held the h
When I reached the border, I spotted Zack and a woman whose face was covered with a cloak. They were standing with the guards, and none of them were speaking because Father told the guards not to harm them or say anything to them; instead, they should be kept there till I arrived.When Zack saw me, he made to come to me, but the guards held his hand and tried to draw him back."Let him go now," I commanded."Get your mate too," I said to him.He nodded, then went back to her. He placed his hand on her back and brought her forward."Sorry to disturb you, but we were sleeping when my mate and her mother saw your mate. My sister was sitting on the stage at some kind of gathering. She saw someone, then her eyes widened, and she took a poisoned drink that was kept on the table beside her. I know you have your seer and we have no right to barge in, but Ashlyn and her mother never dreamt of something without it coming to pass. I tried to call Alix, but she was not picking up, and with the se
