“Take your hand off me, man. This anger of yours is directed at the wrong person.” Kalus’ words, which were laced with anger, made me free his collar. He clears his throat inwardly, “I don’t mean to sound rude to you, Alpha Arthur, I’m sorry about the tone of my voice.”
If there is something I like about Kalus, it’s the fact he always knows when to call himself to order, and not cross his boundaries with me. However, he is sometimes a pain in the ass.
“It’s fine, Kalus. So how did you get the video?” I’m so curious about this video. I needed to know who was involved and crush them with my feet.
“I just bumped into it. The video is all over the internet.” Kalus’ gaze hangs on Chloe, “Do you have an idea who the man in the video is? They made sure to blur him out in a perfect way that no one could identify him,” he takes the phone from Loki, and plays the video again.
“I don’t know who it is,” Chloe slowly shakes her head in confusion, “I don’t know. But are you sure this is not Alpha Blade?” Chloe also fixed her eyes on the screen of the phone. Her finger tracing my every move in the video, “With how perfect his body built seems, I know he is an Alpha Wolf. If this is truly Alpha Blade, then I must commend him. He fucks very well like a hungry animal.”
Kalus shook his head in agreement with her words. “He is truly a beast. I think men like him need to be locked in a cage for centuries.”
“What?!” I choke on my spit. Coaching harder in my fists, I could feel my eyes tearing up.
“Are you alright, Alpha?” Chloe rushes forward. Her palm rubs my back, trying to help me feel alright.
“Yes, I’m fine, Chloe.” This time, my voice came out clearer.
“Hmmmmmm!…. Why does this sex beast look a bit like Alpha Arthur?” Kalus brings the phone closer, placing it by the side of my face.
I move my face away, and gulp hard. “The man can be anyone, you know,” my voice comes out quite shaky. I could tell the discomfort I felt within was already written on my face.
I don’t like people getting involved in my business, and this is the worst of it. I don’t know how this scene was videoed, or how it got out. The sex we had was unplanned, and no one had access to my car, aside from Philip.
I know what you are thinking right now, but it’s definitely not Philip.
Phillip is one of the most trusted staff I have. His father served my father and I see his family as mine. They would rather die than betray my household.
If this is the case, then someone is definitely washing Elara, and I’m so sure of it. Whosoever it is, that person is five steps ahead of us. This person is closer than I can imagine. I must fish the person out before things get worse. I don’t want to lose Elara.
“Loki, have you called the PR department, and ordered them to take down the video from the internet?” I called Loki’s attention.
“I’m still on it, Alpha.” Loki continues with his call.
I knew he would fix all this, that was why I didn’t bother to give the order earlier. Loki always knows what to do at any given time.
“Alpha Arthur!”
My attention gets called and I spin on my heels. It was the doctor.
“Alpha,” the doctor came closer to me, “She has been moved to the VVIP ward, you are free to go see her now.”
“Ok, thank you very much, Doc,” excitement filled my heart. But just when I make to rush forward, my feet stop dead in my tracks. The thoughts of how Elara will react when she sees me flood my head. I felt heavy inside of me.
I know she will break down in tears in my arms, and that is something I can’t stand. I hate to see her sad, and I pray I will be able to comfort her.
“Alpha, why did you stop? I thought you’ve waiting to see her?” Loki moved closer to me, and patted my shoulder twice. “Everything will be alright, Alpha. Elara is waiting for you. Go see her,” his voice sounded so kind to my ears. Just what I wanted.
I feel a surge of positive energy, accompanied by happiness wash over me, and I can’t help but smile. My planted feet rise, and make their way into Elara’s ward.
“Babe, how are you?” The first words I uttered as I entered her ward.
Elara sat upright on the bed. Her face lowered, and her hair cascaded down her tucked knees. As I move closer, I hear her whimpering, and muttering some unheard words.
“Are you alright, babe?” My hand is on the verge of touching her hair. She suddenly roars in anger, tearing the hand of my sleeve with her claws.
“Stay away from me! You are evil! Stay away from me!” She presses onto her ears with her hands, screaming.
“What’s going on with you, Elara?” I sat by her bedside, my arms wrapped around her body. I could feel her body tremble profusely, and I knew she was scared. She breaks free from my hug, pushing me off her. “I don’t want to see you! I don’t want to see anyone! Stay off me!”
“Elara! Elara! Please calm down, baby. I’m here for you,” I try to bring her closer to me, but she keeps fighting me off and screaming.
Some doctors and nurses rush in, and the nurses hold her down on her bed. They forcefully lay her on the bed, caging her arms with their hands. Elara was still fighting with them, her legs dragging the bed sheet.
I stand, gazing at the scene in confusion, trying to understand what is going on.
“What is wrong with her doctor, why is she acting like a crazy person?” Kalus asked the question I was about to ask.
“We don’t know either. She was very fine, and almost ready to leave. I think something triggered this.”
“Trigger? What triggered it?” I amble forward to take a look at Elara. “Let go of her,” I ordered the nurses, and they let go.
Elara sits upright, her chest pounding, her eyes blazing with anger.
I try to touch her, but she screams once again, “Stay away from me! You killed my child! I hate you! Fucking stay out of my life,” with a groan, she arcs her claws to attack me again.
In the fastest of speed, the nurses held her arms and laid her back on the bed. They pin her down. A doctor brings out a syringe with a white liquid, and injects the liquid right into her vein.
As I stand in my position, I notice how weak my legs have become. Elara’s words, screams, and the pain in her eyes made my hand vibrate at my side. I was consumed by deep hurt, and was lost for what to do. My heartbeat keeps pounding in my chest. I could tell the weakness I felt within was laced on my face.
But I don’t care. I don’t fucking care about anyone right now. My concern is Elara. She can’t despise me. She shouldn’t. I can’t stand it. Things were going great, so why did the Goddess decide to flip things? I never asked her to intervene in my relationship with Elara. What the fuck is all this?
“Alpha, please can everyone wait for her outside? At this moment, I think she needs enough space. I believe when she wakes up, she will be perfectly fine,” the doctor requested.
We all moved out, and as suggested by Loki, we had to wait in the waiting section at the hallway. Suddenly, my men stormed in, but without the maid, I had ordered them to capture. My fingers rub my forehead in frustration cause I already know what it is. They couldn’t find her. Incompetent fools.
“Alpha!” One of them speaks out, his head ducks before me. “Before we got to her, she was already killed by someone.”
My head curves to the side, my eyebrows furrowed as I gape at him. “What do you mean, “killed by someone?”
“We found her lying on the cold floor along the road. Her heart was ripped out from her chest, and she had deep wounds on her skin. With the look of the wounds, it seems she was tortured before being killed by some people.”
I chuckle hard. My hands fixed in my pockets. Someone is definitely playing games with me. But who was it? I know it’s not Alpha Blade. He doesn’t know his way around my pack. Unless he paid some people to do the job for him.
But how are they succeeding with their plans if they are not insiders? I need to personally find out. It’s high time I go into the city for hunting.
The echoing of footsteps, darting around the hospital gets my attention, and I shake my head back to reality. I noticed the doctors and nurses were running back and forth in confusion. It’s evident something crazy has happened. Someone important must have died. Crazy!
“Alpha Arthur!” Loki, who had been moving back and forth in the hallway, reached out to me. “Alpha. Elara!” His head bowed in disappointment, his fist clenched by his sides.
“What about, Elara?” I felt my heart skip in fear as I sensed something wrong. Tears start to prick the corner of my eyes, “What… fucking happened to Elara?!”
“E-Elara I-is…”
Without letting Loki finish his bullshit, I pushed him out of my way and ran toward Elara’s ward.
