MARCELLAONE LESS PROBLEM The rumors were true. Ximena was a victim of the night attack. It was true. From what I could hear the elders discuss with Enid, her condition was critical. She was just a thin line away from the dead. Something needed to be done.This was my even chance at getting off this mansion forever. This was the only chance the goddess could toss my way to have Enid forever. All I needed to do was to visit Ximena. I waited on the terrace for Enid to finish with the elders. I waited with with I was going to say to him fresh in my mind. I needed Enid to know that I cared not just for him but for his wife. Trust was a powerful thing. Enid's trust was the only powerful tool I could use against Mildred. My eyes narrowed at the girl coming toward the terrace with her face sullen, her shoulders slouched and get head hung. I needed to look just exactly as Vanessa did to convince Enid I cared. "Vanessa," I called out firmly.But she didn't seem to hear me. She was far of
ENIDYOUR WIFE SAVED YOUR LIFE I watched Courtney as confirmed the machines and charts. She glanced at me and nodded."All good. She's hanging on perfectly.""Hanging on?" I watched her with sneering eyes. I heard Alexis. I heard everyone and only what piqued my interest struck my brain and having Alexis say Courtney knew Mildred wasn't able to make it out alive rendered me weak. "Courtney I don't imagine you would lie to me," I muttered as quietly as I could when we stepped out of the room Mildred was lying in. She looked up at me and a glint of fear was in her eyes. She watched me looking as uncertain as ever. "You know Mildred's never going to make it out alive!" I watched her face to glean any sign of deceit. "What? There's hope if Keegan can get here." She looked surprised at my question. "Courtney I'm going to ask you one more time. You know what could be involved in deceit?"She nodded and swallowed hard watching my face with every bit of attention. "What are Mildred's
ENIDSHE HAS NO WOLF Mildred had saved my life? I didn't even have an idea. I didn't even know if I could learn from the footage I just couldn't watch her get struck by the arrow.I was counting on Clover. He was my only hope now to get Keegan here in the next fifteen minutes. He just needed to pick Keegan up. Courtney was able to resuscitate her. She was able to support her breath but it wasn't a guarantee Mildred was alright. I could lose Mildred any second. It was almost eight p.m. and Clover did not call to let in on any progress. The entire Pack seemed empty and quiet from the attack.I could not leave Mildred. Courtney had suggested I stay with her. My wolf was somehow keeping her from tipping off the edge. I was afraid of what could happen if I left. I glanced from her pale face to my phone trying to get to Clover again. "Is Keegan here yet?" I asked desperately wanting to get a yes. "Keegan's on his way. How is she?" Clover announced over the phone. "She's holding on
ENIDEvacuation? I sat stroking Mildred's hair. I wanted her to feel my presence with her. I wanted her to know I was by her side through it all. I had no idea how this evacuation was going to be done but I was all out to get into it already. "I'm never going to hurt you ever again. Give me this one chance to make things right. Please? The goddess was certainly never going to forgive me. I heaved a sigh and just watched her face. And in no time, Courtney was back with Keegan."Enid it's best if you wait outside." Courtney cast me a sullen gaze. "Why's that?" My eyes bore into her and my heart thrashed frantically. "Her blood is going to be drained. I'm not sure if it's a sight you'd love to witness."My heart ceased beating and my lips quivered. My brain failed to interpret what Courtney meant by these words. "It's the only way to get caelax out of her system.""Mildred doesn't have a wolf they could kill her!""It could also work."My fears were overpowering and I didn't wan
MARCELLATrouble In Paradise.Chapter 133Marcella I walked back and forth in the huge living room, I’ve been so restless all day. Enid hadn't dropped by the mansion today, not even once. It was odd and it was getting under my skin. Why was he spending all his time with her at the hospital? The thought alone made me queasy.I even toyed with the idea that maybe, just maybe, Enid was falling for Ximena.Never! Not while I’m still breathing. But it seemed so real though, because why else would he stay by her side? I never thought she'd be the kind to take a hit for someone else. But she did, for Enid. And that was a curveball I didn't see coming.The Ximena I knew was all about herself. Her taking an arrow for Enid? That was new. And troubling and that makes my heart ache even more. What the hell was she driving at? First she deviates from the plan and now she takes an arrow for him? Pathetic being."Maybe I should go see Enid," I said out loud. But the next second, I snorted at the i
EnidLike strawberry Clover called to tell me that Courtney had information about where we could find the herb we needed, and that I was required to meet them at our designated spot. I felt really stinky so I hurried home to freshen up. As I approached the door, I overheard Marcella and Alexis conversing. Initially, I ignored them until Alexis mentioned something about Mildred being dead.Dead?I knew that Marcella disliked Mildred greatly, the thought of Marcella wishing her harm unsettled me. I mean, I really liked Marcella, she was like my own sister but this isn’t going to be accepted by me. I turned towards the voices, and my intense gaze locked onto Marcella, causing fear to flicker in her eyes. After a few seconds of silence, I turned away, deciding to address the situation later. I was pressed for time and couldn't deal with their drama right now. However, I made a mental note to have a chat with Alexis to caution her about the consequences of her words. It was something th
ENIDEnid is in love! I gripped the steering wheel iron tight as I sped through the streets, moving at an incredible speed as my heart pounded with urgency. Oh please let nothing happen to Mildred, I cursed myself for not giving her the attention and love she deserved and now I was about to lose her.No I won’t.The sun had begun to set, casting long shadows over the cobblestone roads. My heart thumping against my ribs for Mildred, my sweet glass of wine. Yes I said that. That’s how I feel about her now..I increased my speed hoping to get to the hospital as fast as I could, I was positive that she would come back to me. I was so sure about it.I am not one to bother about things but at the moment, she mattered to me so much that I began to mumble some words of prayer.“I will not forgive myself if anything happens to her” I didn’t even know that I said it out loud until I heard Clover say— “she’s not going to die” I smiled out, a bit embarrassed, I was consumed by my emotions,
MILDREDTHE NEW ENIDLying in a hospital bed, my head was full of foggy thoughts. I didn't remember much, except for a scary darkness that had swallowed me whole while I was holding onto Enid.Every part of me hurt, but hearing Enid's voice was like a warm hug. Seeing him next to me made me feel safe and happy, even though I was so confused. I kind of expected him to be mad at me because we had gotten into trouble again, and he really didn't like it when that happened.But Enid? Mad? Not this time. He seemed so real and caring. I looked into his eyes, really hard, to see if he was just pretending. What I saw was surprising – it was like he actually cared a lot. It felt like a dream, the good kind, because Enid was being so sweet.I had to pinch myself. Enid had always been tough on me, sometimes even mean, making me feel small and not pretty. And now here he was, doing and saying things that made my heart race. It was like he was a whole new person.The kindness in his voice, the ge
