Hi, my apologies for the long chapter. Huhuhu. But I hope you like the upload. Thank you so much for reading.
I bit my fingernails. Alpha John was looking for the two of us and if he found out that Alpha Lennox was brought to the hospital, he would be the second one to be hospitalized. He would hate me for all his remaining life and would blame me for everything. I was kind of expecting the blame thingy, but if his condition got worse because of that, I would much rather die than hurt him–emotionally.I slapped my forehead. A couple of times. But not that hard. Enough to inflict some pain. Idiot.It is my fault, to begin with! I should be the one in the bed unconscious! My life was meaningless compared to Alpha Lennox. A lot of people were depending on him while I? No one cared whether I was breathing or not. I was only fighting for myself. No one else. Tate grabbed my hand and stopped me. His expressions softened and muttered, “Doll. Stop hurting yourself. It’s not funny to look at.”“Tate.”“Shsss. I got you, okay? I won’t let anyone blame you for what occurred. Someone was behind this
As fast as my feet would carry me, I sprinted to Alpha Lennox's room while my heart beat wildly against my ribcage. The people were looking at me with confused expressions. Don’t care as long as I will be seeing Lennox!He's awake now! Lennox is awake!My heart jumped with joy as I grinned from ear to ear. Finally. All my tiredness went away. After all those sleepless nights of guarding him and taking care of him, I would be able to see him. From the outside, I could hear them laughing. Tate and the alpha. It was true.Lennox was back!My eyes watered.I thought we would lose him!I halted abruptly and nearly bumped into the wall. Luckily the guards stopped me before I could hurt myself. Uttering my thanks, I pulled myself together. Relax, Keira. Don’t get too excited.I wiped the tears from my forehead and controlled the fast beating of my heart. Must not show them that I was super duper excited. Alpha Lennox would think negatively about it and would detect I was hiding my feelin
KEIRA:Alpha Lennox had been the most stubborn man I ever encountered in my entire life. He did not want to be dictated to nor told what he should do and should not. So why did he suddenly change his mind all of a sudden? Was it because of what I said?No. Why would he change his mind? 'Doll. Are you still there?''I was brought back from my musing. 'I don't understand.''You don't have to comprehend everything. You just need to let things happen.''What did you tell him to change his mind?' Perhaps it was because of Tate. Compared to me, Alpha Lennox would listen more to him than me. 'I did not say anything. When the doctor stepped inside the room, Alpha Lennox announced that he will be a good patient and he will wait until he will be given the go signal to go home. Nothing else.'I nodded my head as if he could see me. Regardless of who made him change his mind, I was thankful for what happened. 'I'm relieved. But tell him I won't be going there. I have to return to the Stonew
KEIRA:I was having the most beautiful dream.Lennox was looking at me lovingly while stroking my hair. His soft expressions melted my heart. Why would I not consider this a dream when I never saw him staring at me like this? His hands brushing on my hair felt so good that I did not want to awaken in this dream. Imagine if this was true. Imagine if the alpha was indeed in love with me and not his beautiful Zoe. Then, my heart would not be breaking every single day. Which was my fault, I know. Alpha Lennox had no idea I was in love with him, and I wanted that to remain that way. "Keira," he said in the softest voice he had.It was like music to my ears and the more I wanted to stay in this dream.If only I was allowed to live in this dream, I would never be hurt repeatedly.The dream shifted and I saw Tate in the doorway, looking at me with a pitiful look. The beta shook his head as if he was telling me to stop this. To stop me from hurting further. But I can't.I cannot do it at
KEIRA:Tate had been throwing me glances the moment we arrived at the packhouse. At first, it was fine, but the next time, it was already irritating. 'What's your problem, huh? You're making me feel as if there is something wrong,' I muttered when I could no longer take it. We were already stepping out of the car. Tate chuckled. 'Nothing, doll.'I don't think it was anything. The moment I awakened (with the alpha beside me sleeping also), he had been looking at me now and then. His eyes told me he wanted to say something, but he could not. Or refused to say it. Can I say he was getting weird? Yes, I can.Alpha Lennox was already ahead of us while the beta and I were talking through our links. Tate gave me a knowing smile. 'Spit it out, Tate.''Hey. There is nothing I say. Everything is well, okay?' He said there was nothing, but his eyes were full of mischief.'Did something happen when I fell asleep? Is there something I need to know?'Dang.I was suddenly curious about what hap
KEIRA:My head felt like it was spinning as Lennox's words continued ringing in my mind.I love you. I love you. I love you.Lennox loved me? W-why would he love me?When I glanced up, Lennox was wearing the sweetest smile he could ever muster.Fake.Oh, Moon Goddess. How could I believe that he loved me for a minute? What an embarrassment. Do you think it's real? Everything was a front. Lennox did not love you. Face the reality!"What would you say, Keira?" Alpha John asked with a hopeful look. “Your husband just said that he loved you. Isn’t it sweet?”It would be sweet as honey if those words were real."What would I say, then?" I asked. “What would you say if someone confessed?”Alpha John stiffened. “My son did not tell you he loved you before?”Alpha Lennox inhaled sharply.‘Respond to my declaration of love, Keira. Before the old man will think of something else.’“No, Dad! Lennox has told me a lot of times how much he loves me.” Gulping, I faced Alpha Lennox and grabbed h
I did not know what was running on Alpha John’s mind. I did not know if he was pranking us, but me kissing Alpha Lennox? I licked my lips and was suddenly reminded of our first kiss when we got married. It was our only kiss.My eyes darted to Lennox's full lips.Being kissed by the alpha was something I looked forward to from the bottom of my heart.Pathetic wasn’t it?He would only kiss me when the situation asked for it.Besides, I did not think the alpha would do it.Kissing me in front of the guest when we got married was not a problem, but kissing me again in front of his father was something I doubted he would do. We could always think of alibis. I knew it. He could not stomach kissing me especially if someone was looking. Was he that disgusted?I inwardly shook my head. Whatever. When Alpha Lennox did not move, I muttered, “Dad, we are embarrassing Lennox. He is not fond of showing his affections in public." I leaned on him and rested my hands on his broad chest. He still
KEIRA:'Where are you now?' I asked Tate when nightfall came. It was already nine o’clock in the evening. Alpha Lennox hasn't returned to his room. I was waiting for him to tell him Tate and I will have our “friendly date”, but he did not come. Maybe he was out to do some important duties.The best thing was to reach him through our mind link, but I did not want to do it. It was his fault if he didn't come back.As long as I am happy tonight.I call it distressing after our accident. Tate and I will be drinking as we agreed. Whether Alpha Lennox will know about this or not, our drinking session will push through. Alpha Lennox? He did not care anyway about what I would do with my life. Besides, it was none of his concern whether what happened to me. 'I'm done patrolling the area. Where do you want to meet?'I looked around. Hmmm.Outside the packhouse was better. The air was fresh and there was a small cottage with a library on it. Back then, all I could do was look at that cottage
