The Alpha’s reckoning 10: A TRICKY SOLUTION
Ronan’s POV“That was fast,” Kyle spoke when I walked into my office. He is seated across from an old lady in an ancient-looking cloak, her full grey hair in two long plaits on each side of her shoulders. I figured she is the Marien who came to us with a solution to my dad’s illness.I took a seat across from them. “Hello, Marien. I heard you found a way to treat my father,” I ask, going straight to the point.“Well, after a few tests with a friend of mine, I think we have found a way to save him. I don’t know if it will work, but it will most probably work.”“And what is it?” I try my best to keep the eagerness at bay.“Well, after some pondering, I remembered I had a friend who had treated a case similar to your father’s-““And where can we find that friend?” I cut in.Marien smiles. “Patience, child.”“Well, my friend who treated this case is, well, no longer with us. I found out she passed away a long time ago.” The little hope I had before coming into this room slowly dies.“But,
The Alpha’s reckoning 11: THE PESSIMIST
LISA’S POVAt first, I thought Salvador might have been wrong, but I couldn't dismiss what he said. Looking back at the rearview mirror a few times, I noticed the black van following us.“Kids, hang on tight,” I said before swerving to the next lane, taking the nearest turn in hopes of losing them. But they were fast on my heels. Trying my best not to scare the kids by going very fast, but to my surprise, they were laughing and screaming, “Faster, go faster!”It should have alarmed me that my kids weren’t scared as I raced through the streets. However, it was a little comforting, knowing I wouldn't have a crying child while trying to shake off the van behind me.Glancing at the rearview mirror one more time, the car was far behind, with a motorbike intercepting between us. I managed to make it to the address Stella had sent me earlier.a part of me wanted to go home, but going home wouldn’t be a perfect option, I don't know why or for how long they have been tailing us. So a crowded s
The Alpha’s reckoning 12: ITS AN ORDER NOT AN INVITATION
LISA’S POV“Why are you here?” The figure from the shadows moved closer, giving me a better view of who he was.It was Jack, one of the guys from the pack that used to pick on me. His presence sent a little shiver down my spine, memories of the past torment flooding but I pushed them away. “This is no way to welcome a fellow pack member,” Jack smirked, taking slow steps toward the couch I was sitting on in an intimidating manner, but I stayed unfazed."I'm not part of the pack anymore, nor do I need the pack in my life."I slowly stuck my hand into the couch, looking for the little silver dagger I kept inside for security reasons. I never thought I would ever need to use it, but here I am, desperately clutching it, waiting for the right time to stab the two men in my apartment.“So, this is where you've been hiding, huh?” Jack smirked, strolling around the room.“I want you two out of my house in the next sixty seconds.”“Sixty seconds?” Jack cocked a brow, bemused.“Unless you’ve ma
The Alpha’s reckoning 13: ESCAPE
LISA’S POV I woke up feeling like a broken staircase, each movement a struggle against the weight that pressed down on me. My eyelids were glued shut, and I could feel sweat trickling down my forehead. “Why isn't she awake?” a voice asked with urgency, It sounded distant. I strained against the heaviness, trying to piece together what had happened. The memory of a sharp pain in my neck, a needle piercing my skin before darkness consumed me. “How the heck am I supposed to know that—” a male voice snapped, his frustration evident in every word. “You messed up, man. If he comes back and she isn’t awake, it's probably over for us,” another voice, deep and ominous, added to the mounting tension in the room. “We didn't have any other choice,” Kyle grunted then the sound of footsteps and then the door s=bing swung open and closed. “She just needs some rest, she will sweat it out and wake up soon,” a softer voice, presumably belonging to a girl, offered. “We should give her some space t
The Alpha’s reckoning 14: FAILED ESCAPE
LISA’S POV Those silver-grey orbs, which I could never forget even if I tried, were piercing daggers into my soul. How could I ever forget them when I have three kids with the same eyes as him?He is dressed in a pair of sweats and a long-sleeved t-shirt, the sleeves rolled up to the elbow. The same way he used to dress when we’d train together. But he looks broader now, though those luscious lips and dark shiny hair remained the same. Wait, what am I saying? Snap out of it, Lisa. You can’t think that way about the same man who used you and dumped you like trash.“What are you trying to do?” He asked again, pulling me out of my trance.“What does it look like I’m doing?” I retort, tightening my hand on the iron bar beside the window.“Get away from the window,” he ordered, walking closer.“If you take another step, I promise you I’m going to jump,” I hissed, but he simply ignored me and took another step.I let go of the bar, jumping out. I had already made up my mind before he came
The Alpha’s reckoning 15: A MISTAKE
RONAN’S POV“You shouldn’t have drugged her, man,” my ears picked up Jack's words as he whispered to Kyle.“What did you expect me to do? She would’ve killed you if I didn’t. You’re welcome,” Kyle hissed, and I took slow strides to where they were arguing in hushed tones.“But still, you could’ve used something else, you know. That drug wasn’t just any sleeping drug, you know.”“I know. The alpha said we should be as fast as possible, and holding her off meant wasting more time.”“But she's a weak wolf, remember. Anything could happen-”“What did you drug her with?”I broke between their dialogue. Madeline gave them a sleeping drug to use if Lisa resisted, but from the little I just overheard, what they gave her wasn't the sleeping drug. Probably something quite stronger.“What did you inject her with?” I growled when they both fell silent. The last thing I wanted was the only person who could help me with my dad ending up dying or falling sick due to my lack of judgment. Something tol
The Alpha’s reckoning 16: FLEEING
LISA’S POVUnlike last time, I feel like a racehorse full of strength; there aren't any headaches or weak joints.I wasn’t in the room I was last time; I don't recognize this room at all, but something tells me I'm still at the pack house, or somewhere in the pack.Sitting up, I take in the room, trying to figure out where I am. Like most of the rooms in the pack house, it has white walls with red and black furniture.“You’re awake,” a blonde girl asked as she came through the door. Her white coat tells me she is one of the pack's doctors.“How are you feeling?” She flashes me a warm smile, but I don’t say anything, just watch her as she drops the tray she came in with on the nightstand.“Where am I?” It was the only thing that came out of my mouth, and it is the most logical thing to ask. I need to get out of here, and to do that, I need to know where I am.I don’t know how long I have been asleep or what time it is. I need to get home; I need to be sure my kids are safe. I hope they
The Alpha’s reckoning 17: CONDITIONS
LISA’S POV“What do you want?” I hissed. when Jack tossed me into the room and closed the door behind him. I thought Kyle wanted to stab me or something but it turned out Ronan asked them to check if I was awake and to direct me to Ronan’s office“A hello would have been nice. It's been ages since we last met. It's a shame; I thought we’d get to catch up on things first,” he smirked, leaning into his seat behind the large mahogany desk.I had to hold back the laugh that was bubbling in my chest. “We have nothing to catch up on. Plus, I'd rather go deaf than spare you a minute of my time to catch up. Are you joking, or do you have amnesia? Have you forgotten how you betrayed me?”“Ouch,” he said, placing his hand on his chest, feigning hurt.“Each second I spend here is a waste of my time. I need you to tell me what the heck you want from me or let me be on my way. Unlike you, I have a life to get back to.” My words must’ve stung because I saw a slight change in his demeanour, but it f
