Alpha Arthur;
“Fucking get out of the way or I crush you all with this gurney,” I roar, pushing Elara on a gurney with some nurses. Waving for the people in the hospital to move out of the way.
Tears fill my eyes, my heart beating faster in fear.
The nurses moved Elara into the emergency ward, and asked me to wait outside. They all rush into the emergency unit, alongside some doctors, to attend to her.
My feet pace back and forth in front of the emergency ward. My fingers dug into my hair, gripping my hair in frustration. For the third time in my life, I feel my body trembling in fear over the unknown. My fur rises as my Wolf keeps roaring in my head. We were both scared.
The first time I felt this way was the incident that happened that night with my mother, before the death of my father. My mother was involved in a tragic car accident when I was just 17 years old, and she was rushed this way to the hospital. My father and I followed the nurses behind that night.
It was the first time I saw my father, who was the Alpha King then, scared over something. He held me, telling me everything was going to be alright, but he had tears gushing down his cheeks. We both prayed countless times to the Moon Goddess, to bring back my mother safe and sound from the emergency unit. But nah! The Moon Goddess paid deaf ears to our prayers, and we lost my mother that night.
My father and I sat on the floor of the hospital, devastated. We wept out our eyes, our hearts ripped into pieces. Nobody came closer to us that night because my father was in his beastly state of mind.
He would have killed anyone who dared to. It was the first worst experience of my life.
The second time I felt this way was when my father and Alpha Blade’s father were killed on a journey by the Lycans. My father’s head was brought back to the pack, and handed over to me. I was just 25 years old, and the event destroyed me. I hated people so much for this reason, and stayed far away from people.
To make matters worse, I found out that it was Leona’s greedy parents who sold my father, and Alpha Blade’s father out to the Lycan. Her parents betrayed our household.
In fact, Leona didn’t have feelings for me or Alpha Blade, who truly loves her. Everything she did then was pretense. Her parents used her innocent look and beauty to penetrate our household.
My parents didn’t know the truth about Leona and her family then. The same with everyone. No one knew their true nature, and how evil Leona can be. So my parents allowed them into our lives. Thinking they were family.
Even to this day, Alpha Blade knows nothing about the truth. That’s why he goes around hating me for using and dumping Leona. She deserves it. Everything I did to her.
I couldn’t kill her because of how powerful her parents had become. They now eat and dine with the Lycans. The Lycans are far stronger than werewolves, and we dare not try to challenge them. The only thing I could do was play with Leona’s emotions when I found out the truth.
Everybody was expecting her to be my Luna, even my late parents, but I had to break things off. Leona is more evil than you can imagine. I wonder how Alpha Blade will feel when he finds out that the woman he truly loves, is the one who killed his sister. It will be hell for me.
I wished Leona died that night in that fire in which I abandoned her to die. Don’t know how she survived it. Through those times, I felt like my life had no meaning, but when I met Elara, I had every reason to live again.
Right now, the condition of Elara is making my heart rip in pain. The fact she fainted right in my arms, and I saw blood flow out of her mouth, is making me go insane. I don’t fucking know what is going on anymore.
“Alpha Arthur, what is going on?” Loki calls out, as he approaches me with Chloe and Kalus, hurrying by his sides.
My pacing feet come to a halt, “I don’t know Loki. I fucking don’t know. I’m just waiting…” A doctor steps out of her emergency ward and my words pause in-between. I rush toward the doctor, grabbing his scrubs, “I fucking hope you have good news this time, because I hate all you doctors.”
“Hey, Alpha Arthur, easy with him. He is just a doctor, and not the Goddess,” Kalus frees my grip on the scrub of the doctor. “What’s going on with Elara?” He asks the doctor.
I notice the fear in the eyes of the doctor before he begins to speak. “Whatever she drank was poisoned…”
“Poisoned? What do you mean? Speak to me doc,” my fist clenches my side as I gulp down in fear, trying to hold back myself. My head was already spinning in confusion, because I was the one who gave Elara the tea. And I can’t kill a woman who makes me very happy.
The doctor continues, “Luckily she is safe,” he announces and I let out a deep breath of relief. “But, Alpha Arthur,” he calls my attention and continues, “I’m sorry about the fact that she lost her pregnancy, and…”
“Lost what? What do you mean by, “pregnancy?” I stare at the doctor in confusion.
“What pregnancy do you speak of, Doctor?” Kalus turns toward me, “Was Elara pregnant?”
“No. Yeah. I mean, I don’t know. I’m hearing it for the first time. Was she pregnant with Alpha Blade’s pup? What the fuck is going on here?”
“How many months was the pregnancy, Doc?” Chloe cuts in.
“3 months or more. I can’t accurately tell because the fetus is no more,” the doctor responds.
Chloe mutters some figures, using her fingers to count. We all stood gazing at her in confusion. I can’t even describe how confused I am at this moment. First is poison, and now, pregnancy.
Everyone watches as Chloe softly breathes out, “If we are to go with the months, it’s evident my sister was pregnant with her fiance’s child, and she decided to hide it from him,” Chloe blurts out.
I don’t know what she is trying to do by giving out this information. Maybe she wants me to hate Elara, which will never be possible. Even if the whole pack comes out to call Elara a whore, I will never hate her.
What Chloe is speaking of is not even my problem. Who the father of the pup is, can go to hell. I will eventually get Elara pregnant if she loves babies. Right now, I have to focus on the poison.
How did Elara end up being poisoned? How was that tea even?…. Hold on a minute! Hold on. The maid. I asked a maid to prepare the tea for me.
With the realization that just hit me, I called the attention of my men, and they rushed forward. “Go back to the mansion and bring the maid in charge of the kitchen. That stupid thing poisoned Elara’s tea. Bring her alive to me,” my men bow their heads and rush out of the hospital.
“How did a maid get to poison Elara? I know I’m not a big fan of Elara, but why would a maid want to kill her?” Loki places his hand on my shoulder, gazing at me in confusion.
“I wish I had answers to that right now. It’s only the stupid maid that holds the answers to our curiosity,” with my reply, I turn toward the doctor, “Is there any other bad news you want to deliver? Can I go in and see Elara right now?”
With a smile on his face, like my words were funny to him, he shook his head. “Nothing more, Alpha Arthur. But no one is allowed to go see her now. We have yet to move her from the emergency ward.”
“How long do I have to wait?”
“Very soon, Alpha Arthur. You will be allowed access,” along with the doctor’s words, he bows his head and leaves.
My hands find their way into my pockets as I whiff heavily. I wish time could just speed up, so I can get to see and hold my Elara. I know she is going through a lot right now, and I can feel her fear from a distance. She wants me by her side, and time should move faster and make it possible for us.
I miss her so much already.
A sense of guilt filled my heart, washing over every part of me as a reminder of how I contributed to Elara being in the hospital, flooded my mind. Maybe if I had prepared the tea myself from scratch like I earlier planned, nothing would have happened to my woman.
I owe her an apology for this.
“Hey, man! You fucking need to see this,” Kalus grasp my arm, pulling me out of my thinking. He hands his phone over to me.
“See what?” I respond, taking his phone from him. My gaze moves away from Kalus’s face to the screen of his phone, and my eyes widen. My hand almost dropped Kalus’s phone in shock. “W-what…. W-hat the fuck is this? How did this video get to the internet?”
“What video?” Loki snatches the phone away from my hands. Him and Chloe take a look at the video, his jaw and that of Chloe’s, drop in shock.
It was a the sex video of Elara and me in my car. Something that happened in private. Something no one knew about. How the hell did it get to the media?
The crazy part was, my face was blurred out, making it look like another man was actually the one fucking Elara. My identity was hidden out, but that of Elara was fully exposed. Who the fuck did this? Who is after Elara?
“What the fuck!” I roar, grasping the shirt collar of Kalus, my body burning with rage. “How the fuck did you get this video, Kalus? And why is it on the internet? Fucking speak or I will tear off your flesh,” my claws extend, ready to strike him in outrage.
