NoraNow at home with my aunt, Grace, and Beta Ken, I still can’t believe I had been the one who said all those things unflinchingly to Klaus.“You are a badass actress, Nora,” Grace lauded, biting down on an apple as she munched.“I know, right?” her father added, smiling at me. “For a moment, I thought you meant every single word you said.”“Well, she should have!” my aunt chipped in, her voice hard. I knew she had not fully come to terms with the fact that our revenge mission against Klaus's family was suddenly supposed to be over.She had only reluctantly agreed but still harbored resentment towards them, especially Alpha Raphael. I knew it was going to take time for her to heal from what happened.I decided to change the topic to something else as her bitter words had settled in the air, providing a weird tension no one knew how to diffuse.“Is anyone else hungry? I am starving,” I said, rising to my feet. It was already 12 am.As soon as I stormed out of the field, Grace, my chi
Klaus“I warned you, Klaus! I told you that woman is no good! To think I even started believing in the idea of both of you being together… I must…!” my father had been ranting ever since we got inside.Justin was still gobsmacked. He couldn't believe what was going on. He was, in fact, looking at me suspiciously because the way I had acted outside was quite different from the way I was acting now.I knew it was time to tell them all that was happening, but I needed my father to calm down first. He was really agitated. I wouldn't be able to get a word in with the way he was moving.“This is the second time I am getting humiliated in front of my friends! All because of my child!” he snapped, banging his hand on the couch as he glared at me. “How did you not know this was going to happen, Klaus?”Finally, he was giving me a chance to talk.But before I could even get a word in, Justin added, “Yes, Klaus? How didn't you know this was going to happen?” He cocked a brow as if asking me to s
~ 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
