Alpha Eric's POV“Morning.'' I responded to the greeting of my housekeeper and took out a bottle of water from the fridge.“Should I set the table?” he asked,“Yes.” I replied and went upstairs to my room, so I could take my bath.I reached my room and was about to go to the bathroom when I noticed my phone ringing. I went for the phone and saw it was Elliot calling.“Bastard.” I grumbled to myself and picked up the call.“You finally decided to pick up.”“Say what you have to say.” I muttered with irritation while he scoffed over the phone before speaking, “It's not over yet, and that's a promise.” he muttered those words as a threat.His words made my wolf howl in anger, and it took everything in me to keep it at bay.“What do you want?” I asked in a low tone, but my anger could be noticed in my voice.“What do I what?” he asked sarcastically with a soft chuckle. “Can you give me what I want” he asked in a mocking tone and began laughing loudly over the phone.“Alpha Eric, you think

Victoria's POV“Were you able to reach him?” he asked, while I chuckled softly before speaking up. “How do you know it's a he?” I asked,He laughed and ran his fingers through his hair. “Just a nice guess.”I flashed him a weak smile before speaking, “Thanks, I was able to get through him, I'll have to go back home.”“You mean back to the hospital.” he asked with raised eyebrows.I was shocked by his words. I wasn't putting on a hospital dress, then how did he know I was hospitalized.“Don't think too much, your hands sold you out.” With his words, I stared at my left hand and realized an injection spot was still there, which made me sigh heavily and started walking away.“Did you run away from the hospital?” he asked as he walked behind me.“No, I just needed some fresh air.” I murmured.“Oh, so have you gotten enough fresh air for the day?” he asked playfully, while I chuckled and turned in his direction.“Not yet. I'm not very knowledgeable about this place.”“Are you new here?” he

Alpha Eric's POVI closed my eyes and inhaled the sweet, enticing scent coming from her neck. “Mine.” my wolf howled in pleasure, and I realized my eyes were becoming darker.I knew it was hard to control myself if I stayed closer to her, so I pulled away and moved a bit away while moving my gaze to the floor, so she wouldn't see the color of my eyes.“Are you okay?” She asked while moving closer to me.“No, no, I think something got into my eyes.” I lied and took a deep breath to calm my excited wolf before looking up to her. “Let's go in.” I took her hand and led her inside the house.We got in and sat beside each other without saying a word until she spoke up, “Did you meet my aunt?” she asked.“No.” I quickly replied, so she wouldn't notice a thing. “I was really busy with work, but we can go see her when we go back to California,” I assured her.“The doctor said I have just a few days to stay at the hospital.'' She announced.''Yeah, they just need to run some test on you to see

Victoria's POVI opened my eyes and met eyes with Eric. I could clearly see the fear and shock in his eyes, but he quickly wiped it off.Awkwardly, I moved my gaze away from him and sat on the bed as I stared around, searching for nurse Agnes, but she was nowhere in the room.I stood up from the bed, walked into the bathroom, relieved myself and stood in front of the mirror.I knew I had a dream, but I just couldn't remember what it was. It felt like the dream was some part of my lost memory, but I couldn't remember a thing about it.Sighing heavily, I washed my face in the sink, brushed my hair and went back to the room.I made eyes with Eric but quickly looked away, the anger I had a few hours ago was all gone, but I knew I was still angry with him, but I didn't know the reason for it.I sat on the bed while he sat on the chair beside me, and none of us said a word to each other until he spoke up. “I shouldn't have reacted the way I did, I was just jealous and protective.” he spoke

Victoria's POVI sighed and sat on the bed.Things were becoming more complicated by the day. I knew Eric was hiding something from me, and I was curious to know what he was keeping away from me.I sat back on the bed, struggling to remember any of my lost memory, but nothing was coming forth.I noticed the door open and Eric walked in with a pale face. He sat on the couch while his gaze was away from me. “I know you have many questions to ask, but I can't tell you, at least not now.” he murmured those words to himself, but I knew he was talking to me. “I promise to tell you everything when we get back to California, but right now, I can't risk your health for anything.” he spoke in a serious tone and stood to his feet.He walked up to me and stood before me with his piercing gaze on me, “I'll come pick you up tomorrow, have a nice day.” He placed a kiss on my forehead and left the room.I sighed softly and lay back on the bed with his words ringing in my head. Maybe I just have to be
