Chapter 40

I was taken back to the room I once was in, he carried me in and lay me down on the bed, I stare at the room as if I was seeing it for the first time. It was beautifully decorated with pink and gold and there was other stuff I didn’t know, I could get to ask Creamy later. Thanks to Louis I got to know a few things, I hope he was fine wherever he was. I did feel sorry for him just as I felt more sorry for Mark.

“You wanna get changed. This is Harma she’s gonna help you from henceforth.”

The girl who the alpha called came closer with a small shy smile on her face. I shook my head.

“I don’t wanna have her here.”

“Why?” He stares down tenderly at me.

“I’ll be fine on my own. I don’t need any special treatment from anyone. Let her go, please.” I said with all sincerity.

“She would be of great help. Just like now c’mon you would accept her won’t you?”

“I won’t... I don’t need any help.”

“But you’re weak now, you need help.” He tucked the loose hair off my face, neatly behind my ears, and caressed my cheeks.

“I’m just hungry, once I eat I would be back to an operation mode.”

That got him laughing so hard and creamy too chuckled looking away to the side but I saw him laughing too. Was it that funny, why were they laughing like that? That was what I needed. Didn’t they know I would be hungry, they kept me there without eating for days. I was sick too. What was wrong with them.

“I’ll bring you food then.”

“Lot of it.”

“A lot.”

I nodded. That was fine, if he was ready to do that, then it’s fine. I’ll be better once I’ve eaten.

“You won’t need her help?”

“I won’t.” I shook my head. He sighed and removed his hand from my cheek. It did feel empty after his hands left them but then he took my hands in his instead.

“You can tell her to leave.”

“Would you be fine on your own?”

“That’s how I’ve been living for a long time. I would be fine. That’s for sure.”

He took Harma to leave, so she would get the food and then prepare a bath for me since I won’t be able to stand on my feet. And she left to prepare them. It was just Creamy that was in the room then, though Franco had come with us, he didn’t come in, he was probably outside the door. Waiting for the alpha.

“Can I talk to you in private?” I asked.

Creamy’s eyes darted to us. That was a no from his side, his gaze said it all. He did say he didn’t trust me anymore.

“What do you have to say, you’ve to say it here there’s no way I’m leaving you alone with the alpha..”

“I wasn’t planning on hurting him.” My voice was pained.

“You could do anything, what did you say the other time, you didn’t plan on hurting him that much and you want me to leave you guys alone. No!”

“Creamy.”

“No Zyair. Don’t even try to convince me. I’m not leaving.”

“She can’t hurt me, I’m strong you know.”

“When she stabbed you the other time weren’t you strong.”

Zyair rolled his eyes, Creamy was adamant, he won't leave as far as he had said it, he won’t move an inch from the room they were in except they were about to leave. He moved to the other side of the room, he would give us some space but leave wasn’t an option. That was Creamy, that was just how he was because he didn’t leave but stare at us and had his eyes on us the all-time.

“You’ve to deal with that.”

“I’ve got no choice. It was my fault anyway.”

“What do you want to tell me?”

What would I say, that I couldn’t stay in the pack, that he shouldn’t get too attached to me, that I was cursed, How would I even start not under Creamy piercing gaze and the earshot of Franco, that was outside the door. I couldn’t say any of those things. Even if I wanted to.

“I’m sorry for what happened. I wanted to leave the pack. I made a promise that I would leave, and I had to fulfill that promise. That’s why I had to do that.” I said with my head down, I couldn’t bear to stare at his face. His hands were still clasped over them.

“Look at me.”

He gave my hand a little squeeze.

“I know you had a reason for doing what you did, I didn’t hate you for it even when I tried to but I couldn’t hate you. I know you’re a strong wolf. I don’t know why you’re this strong and I won’t pressure you to tell me. But I can help you.”

I was a strong Wolf. I don’t have my wolf yet. I couldn’t even tell him about that, if they found out I might be chastened. That’s why I couldn’t spill all those secrets I had deep down. And now he was talking about my wolf, which I don’t even know existed. I bite my lips to stop myself from saying anything further.

“You would let me help you, won’t you? Trust me, I can help you. If you can trust me, just once.”

“You can help me, how?”

“Training. So you can control yourself. It seems you lack that.”

What does he know, he knows something about me, the Alpha does. What wasn’t he telling me? Why does he know about me, because he was saying this, he had to know something. He knows me.

“Do you know me?”

“Seems you don’t remember. I thought you would remember when you heard the name killer wolf. A year ago, Novak forest.”

I jerk up from the bed. The wolves that came after us, drove us out of our home and ended up killing father.

“I’ve got a surprise for you.”

I didn’t hear of any surprise, he was the one who came for me, and surprisingly didn’t attack me but let me off when they’d got me, it was him, that's why I had thought he was familiar. How come he was the alpha in this part. Why was he the alpha here? He was from the moonlight pack.

“You would be surprised if you see this.”

“What?” I looked at him and he looks down at the door, the door opened and I saw something that I thought was a miracle.

The old man came in, with his white garment and walking cane, the familiar scent of his, his were dimmed but sparked when he saw me. My jaw dropped and I didn’t know what to say, and there I started crying again.

I thought he was dead! I thought he died. Without wasting another second, I ran to hug him so tightly to myself. Promising never to let go of him ever again.

“You’re alive.”

“The Alpha saved me.” He answered with his wrapped around me.

“You deserve to be happy too.” The Alpha said standing beside us, I left father and took him off guard with a hug. He hadn’t expected it because of the shock on his face, he recovered from it and hugged me back, I could feel his smile behind my neck and slowly he whispered.

“Little mate..”
