Alina's pov
Since the flight got canceled because of the bad weather we had to stay one more night in Romania.
Father video called me at night to inquire about my trip. For some unknown reason he wanted us to come back to Silver Falls as soon as possible.
“What is it?”
“Tell me, please!” My lips requested him for the tenth time.
All of a sudden…Storm snatched the cellphone from Father's hand and flashed a wide smile on the screen.
“What's going on?” My brows furrowed.
“You're greeting married, little sis!” Words came out of his mouth.
“Huh?” Fear shrunk my heart.
“Yesterday Father had a meeting with David Cruz, his friend from school, our Alpha…it turned out they made a promise years ago.”
“Come back once the weather is cleared.”
“Your engagement ceremony is next week with Kian Cruz, the youngest son of the Cruz family.”
*Gulp
“I don't wan-”
Before my lips could refuse, Storm ended the video call.
No! No! No!
This can't be happening again!!
I must stop this engagement.
Just when my mind was reminded of every horrendous memory with the Cruz family, a loud groan in pain reached my ears.
“Mr. Cross?”
It was coming from his bedroom.
Even though I wasn't allowed to enter the main mansion without Mr. Cross’ permission…I couldn't stop myself.
As a nurse it was hard to ignore that painful scream.
My feet immediately crossed the garden and entered the main mansion while the two guards were sleeping outside. Mr. Cross’ bedroom lights were still on, whereas the entire mansion was replenished with darkness.
My slow steps slowly approached his room…Luckily, the door was opened.
My eyes peaked inside his room through the little gap of the opened door, and his satin white shirt covered in excessive blood caught my gaze.
I opened the door wide and stepped into his room without his consent. The moment our eyes met…he pointed his gun at me!!
“You're bleeding, Mr. Cross!” My trembling voice mumbled.
“Get out of my room.” He commanded in his devilish voice.
He was sitting on the shiny floor leaned against the bed in immense pain. His one hand was injured, whereas his other hand was pointing a gun at me.
“Mr. Cross, let me treat the wound.”
“I am a nurse!”
His gun was still pointing at my forehead.
“If you don't let me treat the wound, Zane will definitely get worried once he sees your condition in the morning.”
He paused for a few seconds and then slowly put down his gun on the floor.
I walked over to the bed and knelt down on the front in front of him.
It was his right arm.
“Allow me to take off your shirt.” My words asked with much respect.
“Do it fast.” He permitted in his deep voice and turned his head to the window.
My fingers unbuttoned his shirt and swiftly took it off his body. I was quite startled with the view in front of my eyes.
This man was beyond gorgeous.
His clean shaved chest to his perfect toned abs…everything was seductive.
My gaze slowly shifted to the deep wound on his right arm, and it turned out to be a gunshot wound.
“Someone shot you!”
My timid voice murmured.
His eyes looked into mine…
“None of your business!”
“I a-m sorry!”
“Where is the first-aid kit?”
My soft tone asked.
“Wardrobe!” He answered.
I rushed over to the black wardrobe next to the bed and started searching for the first-aid box. His shirts hanging in the wardrobe smelled like cinnamon, it was quite an addictive scent.
My eyes finally noticed the first-aid box.
I immediately grabbed it and rushed back to him on the floor.
*Breath
My body moved a little closer to his chest and we were now only inches apart from each other. His gaze was focused on the window, yet my eyes were peaking at his face while cleaning the blood from his wound on the arm.
It took me ten minutes to properly clean the wound before dressing. And the whole time his lips were silent.
But in the last few minutes of dressing…
His eyes met mine again.
“Is something wrong, Mr. Cross?”
“Are you not scared of bullet wounds?”
His brow twitched.
A smile glinted on my lips…
“When you're in a medical line, everything is normal.”
I was once shot on my thigh.
Kian's mistress accidentally shot my thigh while taking gun fire training from Kian in a big open ground. Her fingers felt a little hot as she shot the gun and she started screaming and crying.
Kian was only worried about her.
That pain was worse!!
I couldn't walk for months…yet the people in that house still forced me to attend parties on heels.
Heels defined a woman in the Cruz family.
“Your wound will soon heal.”
“Hmm”
I got up from the floor and quietly walked out of his bedroom.
***
Three days later…
It took three days to get a clear sky and as soon as the weather cleared, we left Romania. Mr. Cross was sitting in the front seat with Zane, whereas Sara and I were sitting behind them.
He even paid for our seats.
We arrived at the airport and a car came to pick us up. We headed straight to Mr. Cross' mansion in Silver Falls.
I rested my head on the window and was pretty relaxed with my achievement.
But as the direction headed towards the Cruz family mansion, my eyes widened and confusion shrouded my head.
The car stopped right in front of that evil mansion!!
“Mr. Cross”
“Why are we here?” I became anxious.
“This is my family mansion.” His husky tone answered.
“Are you a Cruz family member?”
My body started shaking.
“Hmm”
“My real name is Jayce Cruz…and Zane’s real name is Jude Cruz. I am the eldest son of the Cruz family.”
The son who was announced as our next Alpha…was Mr. Cross.
My heart dropped to my stomach!!
