The Wolf Who Saved Me

I went back to my room and exclaimed, “You bitch! I did not want to be here!”

Then, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and lay on the bed.

“Should I leave now? But where would I go?” I whispered.

I thought of Killian. It has been days now that I have not heard anything about him. I wonder where he is and if he is at our pack territory. I prayed that he was still alive and I could see him one day.

Ten minutes after, I heard some voices in the room across mine.

“What!? Did they go up? Why did they not call me to do the dishes?” I thought.

I could not understand what they were saying. At first, I thought of not eavesdropping, but Lila made me angry today that I wanted to hear what she would say about me. I tiptoed to the door and slightly opened it so I could listen to the conversation.

“Alpha Reule, why did you let me wash the dishes? Why not the outsider? And why do we even have to be in this room just to have a conversation?” Lila complained.

“Lila, you have been complaining a lot these days. I let you wash the dishes as punishment for all your unreasonable complaints and the trouble that you make not only to me but to the entire pack,” Reule replied with a serious tone.

“I sure don’t like the tone of your voice, Alpha. What exactly did I go to get punished? And what complaints are you talking about, that adopted bitch?”

I cringed and clenched my fist when I heard Lila call me an adopted bitch. I never want to be here. Your Alpha could have just had me killed that day he found me. He should not have saved me because I was ready to die.

“Be careful about your choice of words, Lila! You get punished for that and for waking up almost the entire member because of your stupid workout.”

My heart was touched when I heard Reule defending me when I was not there. I don’t know how he could defend me but at the same time rude and cold at me.

“What is wrong with what I said? Isn’t it right to call her that? She doesn’t belong here. Why do you keep defending her? What is she to you?”

“Wren might not have been initially born her, but she is here now. I protect every member of this pack.”

“But what is she to you? Why did you even bring her here? She doesn’t even look grateful?”

“Grateful? I am grateful, but your Alpha’s definition of grateful is becoming like you-someone who offers her body. And I am nothing like you, Lila,” I whispered.

I actually wanted to yell at them. I wanted to show them I was upset at them for talking behind my back like that.

“She did not ask to be brought here, Lila. I was the one who made that decision that day. I saw that members of her pack were trying to kill her.”

“Why did you save her? You usually don’t like to intervene with issues of other packs. You don’t want to risk our pack.”

“That is correct! However, I have my own and important reasons why I did that, and I know the risk and the consequences of my actions. I am not stupid, Lila. It’s why I am called Alpha.”

“Then, why are you acting stupid? Let go of this bitch before our pack gets attacked and destroyed because of her.”

“Do you really think that I would let that happen? I thought you knew me, Lila. I guess you don’t.”

“You have been unreasonable these days Alpha Reule, and I fear one day that bitch will cause the death of you. The pack members have been gossiping about you and her, and you are not even aware of it.”

I was shocked when I heard this. I did not expect the people here would gossip about it. But I guess that it is one of the natural things to happen for an outsider to be brought here.

“That is normal. If they will not gossip, then it means they are doing something behind my back.”

“But aren’t you afraid of what they are gossiping about? Who knows, one day they will stop respecting you and revolt against you.”

“They try to do that, and all of them will starve. Don’t forget ninety percent of the pack members worked under my company. And they are working with a higher salary than the regular employees. They can try to revolt against me if they want to go hungry.”

“You are too confident. Don’t forget that you are alone, and all of them can take your wealth and position by force.” “Any Alpha would have that kind of fear. But I would find out about their plan before they even could execute it. Enough of this! Lila, what do you want?”

“Alpha Reule, I am begging you to mark me now and claim me as your mate. I could be your spy among the pack members who had been gossipping about you.”

“Thank you, Lila, for showing me your concern. But I don’t have to mark you as my mate for you to help me. If you want to help, then do it without asking for anything. And if you don’t want to that is also fine with me.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Why is it hard for you to accept me?”

“In the same way, why is it hard for you to accept that you are not my mate? The moon goddess did not create mated wolves just like that. Now, if you have nothing more to say, you can leave. I have work to do.”

Lila storm out of the room, and it was a good thing that she did not notice me listening to them. I thought I was not caught, but I suddenly heard Reule say,” Come out of there! I know you are in there listening.”

“Shit!” I whispered and closed my eyes.
