“What do you think you’re doing?” Alistair asked as he felt Lauren’s hand on his shoulders and going down his broad chest. The woman’s scent was pleasant to the point of clouding one’s mind.
“Helping you relax,” Lauren answered with an alluring voice and gave the blonde man a striking smile. “You work too hard, Ally. Let me give you a hand.”
He gently took her hands away from him, only to feel another pair of hands going up his legs and reaching his tights. Alistair held the redhead's hands and shook his head in disapproval.
“Oh, Ally, c’mon. Sit and enjoy it,” the woman kneeling on the floor said seductively, while biting her lips. "I know you'll like how my hands work. And even more..."
Alistair pulled her hands away and stood up. He really liked those women, but he was not going to fall for their charms. That was an everyday thing for Alistair Woods since he moved to that village.
“Girl’s, thanks, but I’m good.”
“Ally, I think I have something here…,” a beautiful brunette said while pushing Alistair to the chair. “It hurts!” She started to open her shirt and, before the fourth woman could use an excuse to touch Alistair, the door of the clinic opened with a bang!
A beautiful yet stern faced woman entered, her raven-hair perfectly combed in a pony-tail. Her clothes made it clear that she was a wealthy woman. Her eyes swept the room and settled on Alistair, who was looking at her with one eyebrow raised, not understanding what the woman was doing. there.
“Did you come for a consultation?” He asked politely, but the woman threw a piece of paper at him, which made Alistair’s four fellow apprentices cover their mouths with their hands. “Miss?”
“Why would I want to have a consultation with a doctor who lives surrounded by shameless and lewd women?” the intruder replied with an air of disdain, and upon hearing this, Alistair’s calm expression changed completely. He clenched his fists on top of the table while throwing daggers at the woman.
“I will not allow you to speak of them like that! Apologize, now!” He demanded in a cold voice that would make anyone tremble, but the stranger smiled sideways, full of pretense, and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
“What now? Are you offended because you don’t want to face reality? I just entered here and the first thing I see is a deplorable scene like this…” she looked at the women and then looked Alistair up and down. “I don’t owe you an apology for speaking the truth! I’m here to cancel the deal!”
Alistair’s eyes were cold and he glared at the woman more intensely.
“Who are you?”
The woman pressed her lips together in disbelief that the man didn’t know who she was, but then, what could she expect from a poor village doctor?
“I am Louise Weisz, the first female War God of Hudrax!” She replied arrogantly and lifted her chin. “I want you to annul the marriage contract. You and I are from very different worlds. You are not qualified to join me in matrimony.”
Alistair did not change his expression, he simply leaned towards the woman and, only then, offered a contemptuous smile.
“With pleasure, Miss Weisz — he signed the papers and slid them in Louise’s direction. “Now, apologize to my sisters and get out of here!”
Louise twisted her mouth as if she found this request absolutely ridiculous!
“You can dream on! I will not apologize to this bunch of…”, she looked at the women with contempt, “harlots!”
This time, Alistair was truly angry and stood up, ready for a fight, but the eldest of the beauties placed her hand on Alistair’s chest and stopped him from continuing to walk, then looked at Louise.
“You can go. Just go and don’t come back,” she said, and Louise scoffed, but turned around and walked away stiffly, her high heels echoing on the tile.
‘As if I want to spend another minute in the presence of these… outcasts! I’m too noble for that!’
Alistair looked at Jessica, his eyebrows furrowed. “Why did you stop me from going after this girl?” He asked, irritated and looked at the door with disdain. “War Goddess… Please, she is nothing more than a child in terms of power, to me!” Jessica tossed her dark blonde hair back her shoulders and sighed deeply, before turning her sky-blue eyes to Alistair. “Ally, you know what the master said: no fighting, and certainly no killing, inside the clinic,” she pouted and kept her hand on Alistair’s chest, drawing now circles with her fingers. “You’ve been so stressed by that gal… I can help you get that ungrateful one off of your mind.” “Thanks, but I’m fine,” Alistair gently took Jessica’s hand and pulled her away from him before sitting back down on his chair. He closed his eyes and sighed, thinking what a relief it had been not to have to marry that woman. She was insufferable! “Ah!” Jessica said, before pulling a letter out of her bra and smiling at Alistair. “I almost forgot, Al
Two years earlier, a man had appeared at the clinic's door, desperate for help. His body was covered in painful sores, and after countless visits to different doctors, no one had been able to diagnose his condition. Word had reached him about the Divine Healer, so Daniel sought out the mysterious man.However, the old healer wasn't there that day. Instead, it was Alistair—a young apprentice with striking green eyes and a mess of blond hair—who treated Daniel. Back then, Alistair was just learning, but now, with Master Alberich retired, he had taken over as the Divine Healer himself."Alistair Woods, I can't express how grateful I am!" Daniel said, a broad smile lighting up his face. "Look at me—my face is nothing like the last time you saw me, right? Thanks to you, I feel healthier than I've ever been!"Daniel opened a worn leather bag he had brought with him and took out two wine bottles, each bearing an ornate, special red seal."These wines are something special, Mr. Woods," Daniel
Adam was furious. He owed so much to Kingsley Woods, a man of good heart and principle. And from what he could tell, Alistair was no different. So how could Cathy act as if the boy was no great thing? He was the best!“Now, what does that have to do with anything? Huh? Ally is marrying Lisa and that’s what’s important!” Adam exhaled, trying to control himself. He looked at Lisa. “What are you waiting for, girl? You’re going with Ally to register your wedding now!” Lisa didn't move and looked at Alistair with an expression that, if it could kill, the blond would be lying on the floor, lifeless. Although Lisa didn't like the idea of having to marry a man who wasn't the one she had chosen for herself, besides, as her mother put it, being a poor village boy, she wouldn't go against her father, after all, she wouldn't be able to run away from marriage for long. She walked past Alistair without even looking at him again, almost bumping into the blonde's shoulder. “Hurry up, what are you
Alistair looked around and whistled. He had no idea Jessica was rich enough to buy a villa in that area. Walking to the garage, he inspected the cars and laughed. The woman had at least ten cars there, each one more valuable than the last, except for one that had been left out. Before Alistair could think about it any further, his phone rang. Looking at the screen, he saw that it was Adam and answered the call. “Ally? Son, I… I’m sorry! Lisa can have a terrible temper sometimes!” Adam began to speak and Alistair just looked down wearily. “I was completely embarrassed when I saw her arrive alone. The driver told me she had left you on the street, all by yourself right after getting married to you!.” “It's ok, Mr. Anderson…” “No, it’s not okay!” Adam sighed. “Why don’t you come eat with us, huh? Today is your first day as a married couple, so let’s celebrate, yeah?” Alistair wanted to say that there was no reason to celebrate, only to mourn. However, he remembered that these were t
Cathy and Adam looked at each other and the woman smiled nervously, fidgeting at the rem of her clothes. “Morris, you must be mistaken…,” she said, shaking her head from side to side. Morris stood up from the table, fists clenched after hearing the words spoken by Cathy, then turning to her. “What do you mean by that? Do you think I, the greatest collector of fine wines in this city, wouldn’t know a good wine from a bad one?” he asked, then brought his hand to his chest with a thud. “I’m Richard Morris!” Cathy looked at her husband for help, but he did nothing. She then turned to her daughter, who had her mouth open, trying to think. “It’s just…” Cathy licked her lips and swallowed hard, before her face turned red as she looked at Alistair, accusingly. “That wine must have come from his now-defunct family! Because, please… how would a poor boy like that be able to afford such expensive wine? And two bottles at that!” Cathy sneered, crossing her arms over her chest and looking di
No one knew that before Alistair became a doctor, his master trained him in martial arts and combat techniques, even sending him to war for two years. Alistair, only eighteen years old at the time, was already recognized as an excellent fighter. One of his specialties? Swords and daggers! In a year in the field, Alistair became known as the “King of Mercenaries”, however, there in that city of Lothan, the people around thought that the blond was just bragging without really knowing how to do anything. 'He must be scared to death!' Lisa thought and smiled with her lips closed. Alistair wasn't the kind of man who let himself be influenced by other people, but he had never been so disrespected in his entire life as he had been in the last forty-eight hours. So, with his hands behind his back and a calm smile, he turned to Edward, who was watching him with his brown eyes. “Very well. I accept the invitation to a game.” Marie looked at Alistair with interest. 'Lisa hadn't mentioned t
Alistair let out a cold laugh and was ready to give a fitting retort, but a commotion at the door interrupted him. Turning his head, he saw Daniel Smith, the man who had given him the wine, standing there and next to another man with a fierce expression on his face. The people around let out gasps of surprise and Alistair looked around for a second before his eyes focused again on the men near the door. “Lorenzo 'Wolf' Lupo himself!” One person exclaimed and Alistair raised his eyebrows. “I just can’t believe it! OMG, this must be my lucky day!”The man was known for owning most of the businesses not only in Lothan City, but in other cities in the surrounding area. His power reached international territories and, because of this, he was greatly respected, but more than that, he was feared. Alistair knew that this man's business was not limited to what the media reported. Lorenzo Lupo, known in the media as the Shadow Wolf, was the head of one of the largest mafia organizations in t
Edward couldn't believe he had been openly ignored in front of those people! He looked around, retracting his hand and swallowing hard. However, no one really had their eyes on him, but rather on Daniel. Noticing the richest man in town walking toward him, Alistair frowned and raised his hand discreetly, indicating to the man that he did not wish to be recognized. If there was one thing Alistair valued, it was discretion. Daniel noticed Alistair's movement and, even though he didn't want to stop greeting him, he would never contradict Alistair Woods. So he stopped walking and sighed, then turned to Lisa, who was not far from him and smiled at the woman. “Miss Anderson, is that it?” He asked and Lisa smiled widely before reaching out and shaking Daniel’s hand. “Mr. Smith! Yes, I am the only daughter of the Anderson family. And I am so excited and honored to finally be able to speak to you in person!” She placed a hand on her chest. “I admire you so much!” Upon hearing Lisa's last
