klausI swallowed and suddenly felt my palms become sweaty as though I were a schoolboy who had just encountered his high school crush.Upon seeing me, the warmth in her eyes disappeared and was replaced with darkness."I am here to check on my patient," she said coldly as she walked to my father.The tension in the room became so thick it could be cut with a knife.Thankfully, Jude came to my rescue even without knowing, appreciating, and commending Nora for her expertise in the medical field."Dr. Nora, I still don't understand how you were able to do it," he said in awe."How did you even get the idea of going the traditional route? Performing acupuncture on him and using herbs," he shook his head in amazement, "he has gotten so much better already," his eyes fell to my father as he admired his current state of health.Nora sighed as she placed a stethoscope on my father's chest checking his heartbeat, "I have had a patient like him in the human world who was also not responding to

KlausI shook my head in response to Justin's question."I wanted to tell her, but I chickened out, brother. I don't know what is wrong with me," I ran a hand through my head.Justin placed a hand on my shoulder. "Don't beat yourself up about it. You still have time, and if you find yourself unable to do it, let me know. I will do it in your stead," he winked at me, and I rolled my eyes at him."Yeah, I bet you would. I bet you are itching to," I snarled, remembering how he has been making subtle advances at her, serenading her with flirty comments. The incident that happened just an hour ago at the dining room, where he was singing her praises and saying how cute she would look in scrubs, flashed back to my memory."Calm down, Klaus. Ain't nothing wrong with complimenting a beautiful woman," Justin smiled. Gesturing in the air, he added, "After all, women were created to be pampered and admired."I narrowed my eyes at him. "I hope this isn't what I think it is Justin?"He let out a d

KlausI was so frustrated and pissed at my father. How was I going to tell him that the same girl whose entire family he had wiped out was the same person that just saved his life? How was I going to tell him what the price of saving his life was?The ancient relic he has kept away, hidden in the basement of our house for so long, and the pack he had derived absolute pleasure in crippling and possessing. How do I make him understand these two things were about to be given away to Nora?Nora had fueled my anger even more by putting me in a rush to do something I was still trying to compose myself to do. I needed time to speak to my father. Couldn't she just wait until the day was over? I would be able to speak to him before then. But she kept persisting; now, my father wants to know everything.She stared at me long and hard after I told her I wanted to have a private chat with my father and snapped, "Fine! I will be downstairs waiting for the things I asked for to be handed over, or w

KlausI furrowed my brows as I saw him walk straight past me towards the window, his gaze fixed outside it.It is funny he thinks we have a choice. It was either we gave Nora the things she demanded, or I would get into trouble for signing the contract. If Nora takes me to court, it wouldn't just be me that would go down; everything my father had suffered to build with his sweat and people's blood would go down with it. I needed to make him understand that.I took a few steps closer to the window until I stood beside him, my hands not leaving my pockets. "You know why Nora was not perturbed when you saw her?" I asked, knowing his answer would be negative."I don't care to know, Klaus. All I know is that we won't give her the things she demands!" He turned to get a better look at me as he snarled, "Can you even listen to yourself? You want us to give back the two essential things she can use to fight us? How could you allow that girl use you in such a manner? How could you make such a

NoraAlthough hearing those words wasn't exactly pleasant to the ears, I got out of my room, not wanting to waste any more time, and uttered a few words, "Take me to him then."He walked before me while I followed after. My mind filled with different thoughts as I wondered why he wanted to see me. I knew it had to do with the things I had requested. Was he about to hand them over himself, or did he want to give me reasons why my request was an impossible one to grant?"Maybe he wants to thank you for saving his life, Nora," Kara said."Always the optimist. I love how you try to stay positive most of the time, Kara, but I promise you, thanking me for saving his life would be the last thing on that man's mind.""You never can tell. He might be a changed man…people do change, Nora.""Yeah, right," I sighed, putting an end to the conversation as I didn't want to indulge Kara and her optimism. This wasn't the right time for all that. I focused my mind back on what lay ahead.Just then, we
