NoraKlaus and I were in my house when he got a call from his best friend, Justin. From the look on his face, whatever they were discussing was quite serious. I had my eyes fixed on him and watched him sit upright on the bed.Klaus hung up and stared at me, rising from the bed with speed, rushing towards the wardrobe. “I need to leave, Nora.”“Why?” I asked in surprise, covering the sheets around my naked body.“My father is on his way here as we speak.”I jerked up from the bed myself. “What?”He pulled his pants up hurriedly. “I need to be as far away from here as possible right now”.I got out of bed, trying to make sense of all that was going on. Alpha Raphael is on his way here? Holy cow!I went to the couch and picked up my clothes, putting them on as I asked, “It is about your wedding, isn't it?”“Why else would he be on his way here, Nora? The wedding is supposed to happen in two days. He plans to drag me back home in time for it, like I am some piece of meat that can be tosse
NoraBeta Ken walked around me and stood in front, challengingly, as he stared daggers at Alpha Raphael. Just one look at him, and one could tell he was full of extreme resentment towards the Alpha.Alpha Raphael narrowed his eyes as though he wondered what gave Beta Ken the effrontery to confront him in that manner.“You are on our land, Alpha Raphael, unannounced so to speak,” he tilted his head towards me and then back at the Alpha. “It is my duty to protect my Alpha from uninvited visitors.” He dragged out the word "Alpha" for emphasis.“Alpha?” Alpha Raphael was a bit puzzled as he looked behind Beta Ken at me. “Who made a lady an Alpha?” he glanced up at Beta Ken, who let out a soft growl.“She is the leader of our pack, hence she is our Alpha…There is no law that states a woman can't be an Alpha!” His voice was laced with rage as he spoke. The only other two times I have seen Beta Ken as angry as he was now were on the day I had come back after my parents died and also on the
~ NoraI woke up, stirring my eyes open. The first thing I noticed was the fact that I was not in my room; this was unfamiliar territory. I saw the rays of sunlight sifting into the room from the window.Jerking up from the bed, I looked around. It all came flooding back to my memory—the events of last night. I smiled. I remembered his touch; I remembered the way he made me feel. My body still felt a bit sore from the passionate love he made to me.It was my first time!I had given my virginity to the love of my life after several months of pressure from him.I felt new, I felt reborn.I could hear running water in the bathroom and figured out he was in there having his bath.Klaus, the love of my life, an Alpha's son who had chosen to love an Omega like me.The water stopped running, and out walked the most beautiful man I have ever set my eyes on, the man my world revolves around. He stood 6 ft tall with blond hair and ocean blue eyes. The chiseled planes of his face with deep set f
~Nora"Traitor! You are a traitor, Nora!" I heard a familiar voice growl from behind.When I turned, my eyes, tired from spent tears, met with those of Beta Ken. He was my father's best friend and right-hand man. He also was my best friend's dad. I saw Grace standing just behind him, her eyes filled with animosity towards me."Traitor! How could you, Nora? How could you do this to us!? Your parents and siblings are dead all because of you!" he snapped angrily. His eyes were red, evidence that he had been grieving. I could see blood dripping from his side, onto the floor. He was bleeding; whoever killed my family must have done that to him.I was confused at his words. I managed to rise to my feet as I stuttered in a trembling voice, "W..what are you talking about, Beta?""You killed your family, Nora! You gave the map to the location of the hidden treasures to that boy! His father did this using one of our ancient relics! He came here with your boyfriend and a powerful witch who wield
~NoraFive years later,"Doctor Nora, a patient was just rushed into the hospital, he is unconscious. He bled profusely before first aid arrived at the scene of the accident; he has lost a lot of blood," one of the nurses rushed to me."Take me to the patient," I instructed.She nodded frantically and darted straight towards one of the wards on the second floor, which I happened to be on. I followed hot on her heels.When I saw the patient lying on the bed unconscious, he was surrounded by some other nurses and his family. I checked his vitals and noticed the wound he had by the side of his stomach had ruptured his large intestine. That was critical; he needed surgery immediately."He needs surgery! Prepare the theater immediately!" I ordered."Okay, doctor!" the nurses replied and left swiftly for the theater.After about an hour, I was done with the surgery. I removed my scrub outfits and left the theater, flexing my muscles and massaging my neck as I headed back to my office. It ha
~KlausI rose from the bed, feeling very tired. Just as I was about to stand up, a hand held me back, pulling me down to the bed. I rolled my eyes. "Claudia!"Tilting my head in her direction, I growled, "What are you doing here, Claudia? I have told you severally to stop coming to my room at night until we are married?"She sat upright, blinking her eyes as if she were warding off tears. She was at it again, trying to blackmail me emotionally with her tears. "I am your betrothed, Klaus, as I have been for the last few years! I am a woman with needs! Needs to be satisfied. Why do you keep treating me this way?" she sobbed.I yanked my hand from hers. "Just stop it, Claudia. It is too early for these shenanigans. We will have all the time in the world to cuddle and make out when we get married.""That is all you say. I am tired of hearing that excuse, Klaus. I am your chosen mate. There are a lot of men I turned down for you, and that is because I love you!" she yelled.I sat down bes
NoraI stood, staring at Klaus; it all felt like a dream. He had changed so much. He looked more mature than he was five years ago. I still remember that day like it was yesterday, the day he betrayed me, shattering my heart to bits without even an ounce of guilt.I clenched my fist, knowing that I had to put my anger and pain aside if I must perform the task I had been assigned and get my children back safely. Were it not for that, all I wanted was to drive a knife through his heart, to kill him, just as he had killed my parents and siblings. The thought of that night made my eyes well up with unspent tears."Nora? Are you okay?" Klaus asked, seeing my slightly changed demeanor, his voice filled with concern. Of course, I am not okay! I want you dead! I wanted to say but refrained myself from doing so.I gave a slight nod, signifying that I was fine even though I was far from that.I held my head high and stared at him, waiting for the question I knew was going to come.Wearing a co
Nora I was a bit taken aback by his words but quickly recovered. He actually thought me capable of murder? Yeah, right, I scoffed inwardly. After what they did to my family, it shouldn't come as a surprise to me that he would think that. Heck! I have often wished his entire family would be stricken down by lightning or maybe even killed off by the moon goddess for what they did. After that incident, as years passed, my anger and hatred for klaus and his family grew. That wound of losing my entire family at their hands hasn't healed and might never do so. Who knows, if the lives of my children were not at stake, I might have actually entertained the thought of killing his father and making it seem as though he died a natural death. Feed undetectable poison into his blood that would snuff the life out of him very slowly. How would they ever suspect I did it? I sighed. Unfortunately, given the circumstances, I won't do any of that, and I had to make him understand that. Narrowing m
