The Wolf Who Saved Me

I couldn’t eat knowing that one of the Blue Pack was spying on the Gray Pack. And I felt responsible for it. I know that pack hated me, but I don’t know what they needed from me. They have already killed Caleb. What more do they want?

I also don’t know why they have to execute. I know our affair was not blessed by the moon goddess. It should not happen because we were not mated. I would understand if Caleb’s mate was one of the pack members. Of course, any alpha would not be happy with him rejecting his mate. But Caleb confirmed to me that his mate was not part of the pack, so who are we hurting? Why did Alpha Henry make such a decision?

Memories of Caleb flashed from my mind. He was gentle and also appreciative of me. I only heard kind words from him; that’s why I fell for him. We were dating for a year, and even though some were against it, we did not care. We planned to get married even though we were not mates. Our love was enough for us. We intended to reject our mates, but we knew they did not belong to either of the pack. The possibility of meeting our mates was less likely to happen.

Alpha Henry had destroyed our plans before it even started. What hurts even more was that I could not say goodbye to Caleb. I could not visit his grave. I was not allowed to set foot in the Blue Pack Territory. Alpha Henry even forbid it like I was some plague that the entire pack members must stay away from.

Caleb has been dead for two years now. I have never heard from the Blue Pack since then. But why are they showing up in my life again? What do they need from me this time? I still can’t figure it out. However, if Conri asked for their help finding me, what did Conri promise them?

The White Pack was not wealthy. Most of the wealth is from Conri’s family, which he now inherited. But still, it’s also a struggling pack. How could they pay the Blue Pack? I know the Blue Pack would demand a considerable amount of money. Where would Conri get it?

I was lost in thoughts when Landon suddenly sat beside me. He patted my shoulder and said, “What happened to you? You look like you are lost in space. What are you thinking?”

“Ha? Nothing, I just remembered someone,” I replied.

“Hmm.. family member? Ex-lover? Which one?” He said teasingly while taking a bite on his chicken barbecue.

I looked at him and wondered if he was trustworthy. I asked myself if it was safe to tell him about Caleb? But my mind screamed of no. Only Reule and Adriana should know about him. He might suddenly change if he knew about him, and I don’t want him and Lila to team up.

“My brother, Killian.”

“Oh, you have a brother.”

“Yeah. I just don’t know if he is still alive, though.”

He stopped eating and looked at me straight into my eyes.

“I am sorry. I did not mean to make you sad. It’s must be hard not knowing.”

I waved my right hand and replied, “Oh, no, that’s okay. I know at some point, everyone would ask about Killian. It’s sad, but there is no other way to talk about it. Don’t worry. I am fine.”

“Hmm.. have faith. Who knows, he might still be out there having almost the same situation as you.”

“I hope so. I hope he was given another chance to live.”

“I wish I could talk to you for a few minutes more, but I need to go now and speak to the warriors who will be with me tonight. Before I leave, can you smile?”

“What!?”

“Can you smile for me?”

“Okay..”

I smiled, and he stood, smiling, and left. Then, I felt like someone was glaring at me. I turned to my left and saw Alpha Reule. He was about to stand, but Lila sat beside him. They started talking to each other, and I took that as my cue to leave.

I remembered Caleb earlier and now Killian. Knowing that they both died because of me not only hurt me, but it’s making me feel unwell now. I felt like throwing up. I wanted to lie down and sleep.

I walked to Adriana and told her I would be heading towards my room.

“Are you okay, senorita, Wren? Why do you look pale?” Adriana asked, looking worried.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Don’t worry. It’s probably nothing. I just need to lie down. Please tell Nana Lolita,” I replied with a smile.

“Sure, sure. Go and get some rest. If you need any help, call me.”

I nodded then I walked towards the house. I could feel my legs were starting to feel weak, and my head was spinning. I walked as fast as I could without attracting attention. I don’t want to faint in front of everyone. I am praying to be able to reach my room.

I was managed to do it. Despite my legs feeling weak, I pushed myself to run towards the toilet. I vomited and then passed out.

I did not realize that while I was heading towards the house, Reule was looking at me. He approached Adriana and asked, “Adriana, any idea what happened to Wren?”

“Alpha, she seemed not feeling well. She came to bid goodbye because she wanted to return to her room and lay down. I told her to call me if she needed anything,” Adriana replied.

“Hmm.. does she look sick?”

“Alpha Reule, she looked pale that I got worried, but she said she is okay. All she needed was rest.”

“I will go and check on her if she needed a doctor. Tell Nana Lolita, I might need her later.”

“Sure, Alpha!.”

Then, I was awakened by a knock on my door, but I could not speak nor move. The knocking grew louder and louder until I passed out again. And after that, I was brought back to a past event. I went back to when my family and I were running from Casper and the warriors of the White Pack.
