… Nate's Pov…I slumped back into my chair, feeling the exhaustion of a long day of paperwork and meetings. The pile of papers that had once cluttered my desk was now neatly arranged, thanks to the hard work of my diligent secretary.As I twirled in my chair, tapping my pen on the desk, I couldn't shake the feeling of restlessness. There was still so much to be done, so many loose ends to tie up before the day was over.Without much thought, I picked up the receiver of my phone and dialed my secretary's extension. “Hey, can you please inform Robert and Miles to meet me in my office now?” I said, my voice terse and urgent.As I paced around my office, my mind consumed by the weight of my responsibilities, there was a knock on the door. “Come in,” I said, hoping that it was Robert and Miles, as I had requested.Robert entered first, bowing respectfully as he greeted me with a formal address. I nodded in acknowledgement and signaled for him to take a seat. “Where is Miles? You wanted to

… Eva's pov…I landed on the floor and looked around, taking in my surroundings. The night was drawing near and the only sounds that could be heard were the chirping of birds and insects. As I walked past a window on the tip of my toes, I heard moaning coming from inside. The sound made me wrinkle my nose in disgust, and I quickly hurried past it, wondering who could be making such noises. Suddenly, I heard the window behind me open and a man with a bare chest jumped out. His appearance was disheveled, and he began to chase after me. Without knowing where I was heading, I started to run as fast as I could. My heart was pounding in my chest and my breath was coming out in short gasps.I ran towards a dark corner and as I turned to look back, I saw the man was already close to me. I could smell the reek of alcohol from his mouth and breath, which only added to my terror. As I looked at him, I felt as if I had slowed down, unable to move as quickly as I needed to.Fear and panic washed

… Nate's pov…Nate took Eva's hands, feeling the coldness that sent a shiver down my spine. I sighed, my heart heavy with concern, and shook my head gently. “Alpha, she needs rest,” the doctor had said, and I knew he was right. Eva had been through so much, and it was evident in her exhausted state.I suggested to Alpha that we should go to the office to talk about Eva's condition. We required a quiet place where we could discuss the next steps without any interruptions. Alpha nodded in agreement, understanding the gravity of the situation, and we made our way out of the room.Walking through the corridors, I couldn't help but notice that it was unusually quiet. The usually bustling hospital seemed strangely empty. However, my focus remained on Eva and her well-being. As we approached the office, I could feel a mix of anxiety and anticipation building up within me.Pushing open the doors, we entered the office and closed the door behind us, creating a sense of privacy. The room had a

… Nate's pov…I glanced at Elder Ken, his weathered face displaying a mix of curiosity and amusement. “I will see what I can do about that,” I assured him, nodding my head.“Oh then that's ok” he said, taking a sip from his cup, beaming at me with a smile.“I want to get going, sire. Nice meeting you,” I said, rising from my seat. The man nodded in acknowledgment, and I couldn't help but offer a friendly smile. “Have a good day," I added before turning away.I turned my back and made my way out of the establishment, the man's voice reached me once more. “You have barely touched your drink, Nate,” he pointed out, gesturing toward the untouched cup in front of me. I sighed, feeling a twinge of guilt. “It's alright, sorry about that. I've got something to do,” I replied, my mind. I so wanted to leave this place. I walked briskly towards the garage where my car awaited. It was a sleek, black machine, and just the sight of it gave me a surge of adrenaline. I hopped into the driver's seat,

… Eva'pov…My eyes slowly opened, and I was immediately hit with an overwhelming wave of discomfort. Colors flashed into my eyes, and everything around me seemed to be a blinding white. I heard the sounds of beeping and felt an ache in my head that seemed to reverberate throughout my entire body. I tried to make out where I was, but my head seemed to be twirling in circles, making it difficult to focus.Taking a glance around, I could see that I was in a hospital room. The white walls were stark and sterile, and there were numerous machines and pieces of equipment scattered around the room. I tried to move, but my body felt heavy and unresponsive. I looked at myself as I was lying in a hospital bed, and I was hooked up to all sorts of machines and tubes.The walls were painted in a soothing white color, a gentle shade that seemed to invite relaxation, bathing the room in a comforting ambiance. The centerpiece of the room was the bed, an oasis of comfort and support. It was larger th
