The Wolf Who Saved Me

The doctor and nurses came rushing towards me. “Wren, can you hear me?” Doctor Castro asked.

I wanted to talk, but I felt so weak to say a word. I ended up giving a blink.

“Doc, she still could not talk, but she just blinked, so I think she could hear you,” the nurse replied.

Doctor Castro talked to the nurse while checking my eyes and looking at the machine monitoring my condition.

“That’s great! She had been stable for the past few hours, right?”

“Yes, doc! I would say this is really a miracle for her.”

“Indeed! What about her lab tests results? Are they ready for us to look at?”

“I was at the lab earlier and was told some of it would be ready after thirty minutes.”

“That’s great!” Doctor Castro looked at me and asked, “Ms. Wren, how are you feeling? Blinked once if it’s a yes, but if you feel any pain or discomfort, blinked twice.”

I did follow what he said. I blinked once since I didn’t feel any pain anymore. I was just too weak.

“Excellent! You are feeling okay but so weak, right?”

I blinked again. I felt frustrated because I really wanted to ask what was happening to me.

“I know. We are doing our best to help you recover from your illness. Now, I would like to request you to relax and get some more rest. Most likely, your body is tired. You feel tired, right?”

Yes, I feel exhausted, like I have been running for more than a month without food or water. But what the hell did I do? I could not remember anything before I opened my eyes and saw the nurse. I blinked again to answer the doctor. When he said to go back to sleep, I thought I would have a hard time doing it. But I did not realize that I was already dozing in a matter of minutes.

When Doctor Castro came out of the intensive care unit, Reule walked towards him.

“What’s going on, Doctor Castro? I saw most of you running to the intensive care unit. Is it because of Wren? Is she okay?” Reule asked.

Doctor Castro smiled and replied, “We ran out of excitement. A nurse checked on her and found Wren out of a comma. It’s a miracle on her part after her heart stopped several times. However, we still have to monitor her. She is still frail, unable to talk, and barely moving. I even suggested for her to sleep. When she is better to see visitors, I will let you know but for now, have patience.”

Reule smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Castro.”

Meanwhile, at the White Pack territory..

“What do you have, Sebastian?” Conri asked while having dinner.

Sebastian was one of the warriors of the White Pack. Conri tasked him to discover what Casper was doing and any information related to Wren’s whereabouts. Conri did this when he lost faith in his beta and ran out of time.

“Alpha Conri, two days ago, Alpha Reule went to visit the Blue Pack. He must have gotten information that you would, and Alpha Henry would be working together to find Wren,” Sebastian replied.

Conri stopped eating and looked at Sebastian.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“How did Reule find out about it? Did someone leak that information?”

“I don’t think it’s coming from us, Alpha. I think it’s someone from the Blue Pack that had made Alpha Reule suspicious.”

Conri hit the table out of frustration. It was the only plan that he knew that might help them find Wren.

“Don’t worry, Alpha. I had one human who knew Alpha Reule and his territory. He was angry at Alpha Reule because he did not get paid after giving some information to him. I asked him to watch the forest yesterday. He told me he tried to get into the woods, and just as he was able to get inside, he saw a lady turned into a white shewolf. The lady matched the description of Wren.”

Conri’s eyes widened, and immediately he asked, “Where is she now?”

“As per the man, that shewolf passed out after shifting into a werewolf. Alpha Reule had rushed her to a hospital. The entire pack got busy attending to her that they did not notice him trespassing. And he thinks they are still at the hospital.”

“Sebastian, are you sure that the man could be trusted?”

“At first, I had second thoughts of him, but when he showed me a picture of Wren, I believed him.”

“There are pictures? Where are they?” Sebastian moved closer to Conri and handed him his phone. Conri looked at all of the pictures, and it was indeed Wren.

Then, he smirked and said, “Thank you, Sebastian. Can you call for me, Casper?” Sebastian nodded, took his phone, and left.

Five minutes later, Casper came excited because he thought that maybe the money was already ready, and then he could proceed with the plan with Henry.

“Yes, Alpha Conri. Shall we go forward with the plan?” Casper said.

“Today, I finally realized that I had chosen a beta by mistake. In just less than a month, a warrior was able to surpass your skills,” Conri stated.

“What do you mean by that, Alpha Conri?”

“Sebastion was able to locate Wren and had given me proof.”

“What!? How? Where did he find her?”

“You are right, though, with your suspicion that Wren is at the Gray Pack’s territory and Alpha Reule was keeping and protecting her. Sebastian asked a human to check if she was there and got it confirmed.”

“But how did a human enter the forest without getting caught? The Gray Pack was tight in terms of security.”

“Hmm.. you are right. Something had happened that the human was able to trespass without getting noticed. Wren shifted to a full-blown werewolf and then passed out. It caused a commotion that most members, even Alpha Reule, got distracted. But this does not give you an excuse for all the wasted time and effort. You should have planned better. Now, cancel the agreement with Henry because we don’t need their help anymore. I heard that Alpha Reule is currently not at the pack territory, go there and give him a message. I want to teach him a lesson for middling in other pack’s business.”

“What’s the message?”

“Kill someone and leave the head on their gate or door, or wherever Alpha Reule could see it.”

Casper nodded. He turned but stopped when Conri suddenly said, “And Casper, after this, we will discuss with the elders of this pack. I wanted them to be the judge whether you should continue in being my beta.”

Casper’s eyes widened, but he could not say anything. He just turned and gritted his teeth out of anger.
