The Wolf Who Saved Me

Conri was walking back and forth in his room. He was worried about the upcoming days. He would be fighting the Black Pack and the Gray Pack if he would not find a solution to the problem he was facing now.

‘What am I going to do now? Who am I going to bribe?’ Conri thought.

Conri was a person who felt like everything could be solved with money. Money was something that made people do anything regardless of what would be the consequences. He had always thought there was no person who would not turn weak because of money.

“That asshole Reule iss born with a silver platter. He would not take my offer. Would Acwulf do?” Conri muttered to himself as he tried to compare the two people.

Suddenly, one of the warriors knocked on his door while was busy with his thoughts. He gritted his teeth because Conri didn’t like being bothered when he had a lot of things on his mind. He liked to be left alone because it was making him feel like he could think well.

“Come in!” Conri yelled.

The warrior opened the door and went inside looking a little bit scared. He knew Conri’s temper and he felt lucky that he had to bother him at a moment when he was busy.

“What is it?” Conri asked looking like he wanted to crush the warrior who was standing a few feet away from him.

“I am sorry, Alpha Conri. I didn’t mean to bother you while you are busy. However, we got a note that Acwulf and some of his men are on the way here. We are expecting them to arrive in five minutes or less. They were spotted in a car driving towards our borders. What should we do now?” the warrior said with a shaky voice.

“Shit! Let the cooks prepare some food fast and bring Casper here.”

“Right away, Alpha.” Conri was left there not knowing what to do. He knew that at any time Acwulf would come to collect what he owe him. The problem was Conri knew where Wren was, but he still don’t have her.

‘What am I going to do now? This is bound to happen but I didn’t expect that it would be now?’

Casper knocked and entered the door. He was smiling on the way there but when he looked at Conri, his smile disappeared in an instant.

“Conri, you asked for me?” Casper asked, looking at Conri with questioning eyes.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“You are sure that that bitch Wren is at the hospital guarded by some people from the White Pack?” Conri asked with eyes that tell that Casper would die if there was ever wrong information given.

“Yes. Isn’t that what we got as information? You had Glen executed even so I don’t understand what is going on?” Casper asked.

“Acwulf and some men are on the way here. I am almost certain that he would be asking for Wren. When could you expect to take that bitch away from White Pack?”

“Conri, you know that she is guarded by the White Pack right now. It would not be that easy without creating a war. Alpha Reule would not just hand her to us. He even killed one of us.” “It’s because you killed one of them!”

“You asked me to deliver a message and that’s what I did! Don’t put the blame on me when I followed what you asked me to do.”

“Anyway, prepare the men. Asked them to be on standby. Acwulf might lash at us. We need to be prepared for what he would do today. We need to ensure that it is he and his men who would die if it comes to the point that he would instigate a fight here. Inform all the best men because these are skilled fighters.”

“Yes, Alpha Conri.” Right after Casper left, another warrior knocked on Conri’s door. Conri was on his way to exploding. He preferred to have some peace so he could think of what he was going to do.

“What is it?” Conri yelled.

“Sorry, Alpha. However, Acwulf and his men are already at the gate. What shall we do?” the warrior asked in an apologetic way.

‘Shit!’ Conri muttered to himself.

“Let them in. Advise the cook to prepare the food and drinks for them. And let Casper know they are already here so that he could let the warrior be prepared.”

The warrior bowed in agreement. Then, Conri went back to walking back and forth on his room. He was waiting for Acwulf and his men to be seated at his living room before going out of his room. He wanted to buy time to think of whatever he had to say and do for Acwulf. It might end up with a fight but he takes refuge that this was his territory. Despite Acwulf and his men were known as skilled fighters, they were many.

Five minutes after, one of the warriors came and told him that Acwulf were already at the living. Acwulf was demanding to see him urgently.

“Tell him I am coming. If the table is prepared, let them go there instead of waiting for me at the living room. Let us treat them as a very important guests,” Conri instructed.

Two minutes later, Conri took a deep breath, walked out of his room and went to the dining room. He entered and found Acwulf and his men eating.

“Hello gentlemen! Welcome again to the White Pack territory. It was lovely to see you here,” Conri said with a smile as he walk to his seat.

But none of the people responded. In fact, Acwulf gave a stern look to Conri. Once Conri was seated, Acwulf finally talked.

“Conri, where is my prize? Where is the promise that you have given me? Why haven’t I received it yet? I have been waiting for it for so long and I am starting to feel anxious about it. I am guessing you don’t have her with you. Was I wrong to say that?”
