“Sorry, do I know you? I asked the old man before me.
You may not know me but I know you and who you are, and that’s the reason I am here. To tell you something and warn you at the same time. He says. I glared at him warily. What shocked me more was that we are communicating through mindlink yet he’s not a werewolf. I regained my composure as I blinked rapidly.
Whatever you want to tell me will have to wait. “Respectfully.” I have unfinished business that I have to take care of. I told him through mindlink. I matched passed him to continue with my mission but stopped midair when he said….
“You don’t need to go.” Whatever that business is, has been taken care of. I slowly turned around and glared at him confused. “It’s already done”. He said.
” What are you talking about, it’s already done?” You’ll find out very soon. He said.
The reason why I approached you unexpectedly, is about our girl. This is very important and i want you to attentively listen. He said with a straight face. I started getting anxious and having a bad feeling about whatever he’s going to say.
I’m all ears. I said to him.
Before I tell you the main reason, you might be wonderful who I am. Well, I’m one of our girl’s or Catriona’s…..
“Alpha,” Someone called me and I averted my eyes from the old man to the person calling me. My men in their wolf forms were the ones calling me, running toward me.
“What is it? I asked them as they drew closer. Beta sent us to you saying that you’re immediately needed at the hospital. They said, Is something wrong with Catriona? Is it something serious? We’re not sure what the matter is, Alpha. We apologize Alpha. They said. It’s okay, you can go back, I’ll follow behind. They bowed at me and sprinted back.
When I turned around to the old man, he was gone. Where he was standing, is an empty space. “Where did he go without finishing his sentence? Who the hell was he? And how come he can talk with me through a mind link? He’s not a werewolf nor a vampire. And on top of that he said the name Catriona. How does he know her? Shit, I’m going to lose my mind if I don’t return back to the pack house. Mr Grey, do you have any idea who that old man was? He was all white from head to toe. The only blackness he had was his skin tone. Was he….? Mr. Grey, are you thinking what I’m thinking he was? A ghost? Is that what you mean? My wolf said. Don’t talk about ghosts now. I told him. Don’t tell me you’re scared of ghosts, human? He sniggered. Would you shut it down, beast? I said to him as I surged in the woods heading back to the pack house. I will deal with Alfredo and his witch later. But for now, Catriona is my first priority. It makes me feel agitated and hate myself when I think about what she must’ve gone through because of me, to the extent of losing a twin. ” My child.”
I arrived at the hospital and headed inside. Jerome and Sandra were there waiting for me. What’s going on here? I asked them both. Nothing serious Alpha. The doctor wanted to speak to you. Said Jerome. Speak about what? Jerome just shrugged his shoulders. I linked with the doctor to find out what he wanted to speak about…..
Doctor, is there something wrong with Catriona? “Yes and No Alpha.” This is something I wanted you to see first. He said and my worries increased. If you don’t mind please go to the patient room.
I left Jerome and Sandra and matched towards where the doctor told me to go. I knocked and entered. Catriona was still unconscious but her features were back to normal. She was not pale as we brought her. The doctors did a great job by giving her the best treatment. Should I think about raising their salaries? We lost one twin but at least she’s doing much better. Thank you doctor for treating her well in this short amount of time. Hopefully she recovers and goes back to her usual self.
“How’s the baby doing?
The baby is doing great but as i told you before, ma’am will stay in the hospital for monitoring. He says.
I got a smile on my face as I watched her on the patient bed looking good and peaceful as if she’s sleeping and having a good dream.
Now that she looks better, I’m going back to find Alfredo and kill him for good. This time around I’m not going to show him any mercy. Back then I didn’t want to kill him because I thought of a good relationship Jerome and I had for him. He used that advantage and made me look stupid, but not anymore. I’ve had enough. It’s time for me to suppress him and his world.
A female doctor walked to me with a tablet in her hands. She signaled the two male doctors to exit the room. They left and closed the door behind them. Alpha there’s something you need to see here. She says as she opens the tablet. Something strange happened that I as a doctor failed to understand or explain. She says. I didn’t say anything and urged her to continue. She handed me the tablet with a person’s naked picture on it. It’s none other than Catriona’s bruised body. “What’s the meaning of this? Why did you take her picture? That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. She says. When we were in the operation room, ma’am’s body was badly bruised, as you see in that picture, expecting you to heal them. When we took her out of the theater, her bruises were all gone in less than thirty minutes. She matched towards Catriona. She unknotted the patient gown and exposed Catriona’s body for me to see. I was about to lose it but got distracted by Catriona’s now unbruised body. Her body was perfectly healed from what I saw on the tablet.
“How did she heal so fast?” Did you apply something in the IV drip? No Alpha, we didn’t. She replied. Then how comes her body……?
There is something special I see about her. I don’t know what it is but I feel it. What bothers me so much is that she’s %100 human but I have no clue about the strong feeling I get that she’s not an ordinary human. She says.
What is it that you’re feeling about her? Why don’t I feel it? The only thing I feel or know is that she’s just an ordinary stubborn human who sometimes acts like a mole. I saw the doctor giggling about what I said. When she saw me staring at her she swallowed her giggles and apologized. Does she have any problems or side effects from the miscarriage? I asked her. No Alpha. We thought as a human it will take her some time for her body to stabilize but we were wrong. She’s stable now. What we’re waiting for now is for her to regain consciousness. She says. Alright doctor, thank you. Please leave, I’d like to have a minute with her. As you wish Alpha. She says , knotted the gown and exited the room.
I drew closer to her and stood still gaping at her. I glided my hand on her beautiful face. Her face brightened up and formed a small smile on her lips. I beamed at her and felt the heat radiating through my body. I jacked away my hand astonished. When I jacked my hand away, the brightness and smile on her face faded away.
” What the hell is going on? “Who are you Catriona?”
I ambled toward the door and went out, closing the door. I stood there gazing at the closed door. Is there something special about her like the doctor said, or am I just losing my mind? I mumbled. I mindlinked with Sandra to come to the hospital. Sandra came in immediately and found me still gazing at the closed door. She bowed at me in respect and sat at the nearby bench. Where’s Jerome? Not sure Alpha. She replied.
I left the hospital and went to look for Jerome. Jerome, where are you? I asked him through mindlink.
I’m at the pack house in my office. He answered.
I barreled to the house and entered his office on the first floor of the house. I entered without knocking and found him on the phone. I felt sad when I saw how his cute face looked. He looks like he hasn’t slept for ages. He ended the call and came over to me.
Something serious? I asked. No Alpha, everything is under control. Our only problem is the Shantans committee. They’ll be here in a few days and they expect you to be around. Alright Jerome, I don’t have any appointment tomorrow or the following day so I’ll be around. You look awful Jerome, I want you to get some good rest. No Alpha, I’m……… I don’t want to hear you say no Jerome. The work I had to do as an Alpha, you did it yourself. At least give yourself a day off. I know you have your own problems to fix.
When I vowed to serve you, I meant it. No matter the obstacles are here for you. My Alpha. My Alpha and the pack comes first before anything else. He says. I know you mean it Jerome but…… I will Alpha. You look more awful than me. When was the last time you had a shave? He asks. I’m not sure but thank you for being a good beta to this pack, a good friend and a brother to me. Don’t worry about the Shantans committee, I’ll take care of them. They’re also a pain in the neck. Yes they’re, especially their Alpha. Jerome said and we both chuckled.
Get yourself a time of rest dude. I said to him as I patted on his shoulder and headed out. I used the back door outside, shifted and sprinted in the woods. I surged through the woods tirelessly feeling the cool wind air that blows through my thick fur.
I came to a stop when Alfredo’s castle came into view. I moved closer. It was very quiet, there was no sound coming out of his castle. Of course it has to be quiet, we killed all the bastards. My wolf said. As I drew closer, something caught my attention, Alfredo! Isn’t that him? I dashed forward towards him. He was lying down on his back looking as pale as a ghost. “What happened to him? Is he dead? I shifted in my human and squatted down taking a closer look at him. Alfredo was a handsome man but now he looks ugly.
What the hell happened to him? Who killed him? It’s very rare for a vampire, especially a powerful vampire like him, to get killed like this without using a stake. Alfredo was not that powerful. He mostly got his power from his witch to torment and kill the innocent people and turn them into vampires unwillingly. I darted my eyes around and saw his witch laying down too. She was still alive but wincing in pain propping her belly with both her hands. I shrinked when I saw blood running down out of her. Help me Lord, the scene is making me sick in my stomach. I left the lifeless Alfredo and went to his witch.
Her face lightened up filled with hope when she saw me as if I’m the cure to her pain.
I’m glad you came to Alpha. She says. I’m not your Alpha witch, clean your tongue. I told her through gritted teeth.
Please take me to your girlfriend Catriona, I want……. I grabbed her by the neck, tightly choking her. Why would I take you to her? What do you want to do to her? Do you want to make sure that you kill her, huh? Is that what you want? I asked her in fury, feeling like breaking her neck.
No , I don’t want to kill her. I just want to apologize to her. She says in difficulty breathing. I let out an evil laugh. You gotta be kidding me, “you want to do what?” Since when did you start apologizing, witch? Please believe me, I’m in so much pain right now. Please, I feel like dying. She whined.
” Why don’t you use your magic and help yourself, witch? I can’t help myself because my powers were taken away from me. I raised my eyebrows so high. We wanted to kill her as we did to your….. Stop, I don’t want to hear another word coming out of your mouth. I growled. If you say another word I’ll rip your throat out.
If only I knew that she was…..
Before she could finish the sentence her hands fell off from her belly and she fell down on the ground and became pale as Catriona was. I stumbled backwards but steadied myself before I landed down.
What day was this? Firstly the wired old man, secondly Catriona healing herself. And thirdly…….. And thirdly this. “What’s going on?”
