Lisa's POV I know I had told him beforehand that this wasn't a date, but yet the drive felt awkward. I should be used to driving with him after the long hours we've spent inside of a car together. The drive was usually filled with silence, very much like this one, but tonight there was tension in the air and I needed to break it.

LISA'S POV I'm burning... I could feel my body heating up rapidly, but I don't know where it originated from. I'm not sure where it begins or where it ends; was it my neck? My wrist? My lower abdomen? I couldn't manage to figure it out. All I knew was that it was there and it was growing hotter by the second, becoming more and more prominent. I tried pushing myself up, but my muscles refused to heed the command my brain was trying to pass through. I fell back onto my back. My eyes had refused to open or were they open and I was surrounded by total darkness? There was no Jonas or Kayden to rescue me this time. I was all alone in this. I wanted to writhe in pain. It was the only normal reaction to perform given my present condition, but I couldn't even bring myself to do that. I tried to look at my arms, but in the dark it was futile. I don't even know where my arms were in this darkness. I felt hot. I was

Lisa's POV It felt like one of those nights again. After having a nightmare that left me too scared to go back to sleep and too afraid to stay awake, I usually stared up into the darkness, trying to find peace in it. Kayden snores softly beside me while my nightmare plays in my head, over and over again. I glide my hand up over my arm and to my chest where the bandage covers the bullet wound. Now that I was alive, the Council was bound to come for me again, no matter who was in charge. It didn't matter if their leader was fast asleep in a chair right next to my hospital bed, acting as a guard.I could attempt to flee the country on my own without Jonas helping me. Kayden couldn't come or know my whereabouts. I couldn't ask him for it or tell him wher

Lisa's POV A man wearing a blue uniform runs towards me. His hair was rather unkempt. When he stopped in front of me, he was already out of breath. "There you are. Everyone in the hospital has been searching for you everywhere. He bent and rested his hands on his thighs. "The Prime Alpha is already freaking out. Let me take you to him. " Without asking for my permission, he pushed my wheelchair to the elevator.Thank you for helping me."No problem, miss. I was only trying to save my job and that of others. "Fortunately, no one else was on the elevator when we boarded. I was hoping Klaus wouldn't return like the last time. The trip to the floor wher

Kayden's POV I closed the door of the hospital room behind me as I stepped out into the hallway, watching my brother lean against the wall opposite the room. "How dare you go behind my back, Klaus?"He kept his shoulders relaxed, looking calm as he pushed himself off the wall."She's the woman I love, and you wanted to hurt her?"He shook his head, looking down. His lips turned upwards in a sneer. "Love? You can't be serious. You don't actually believe that you love her. "After all I've done for Lisa, does he still believe that I don't love her? He was still living in denial. "Don't you love Tiffany
