I keep wondering what it would have been like to have someone truly on my side and I have asked that numerous times but it seems like so many people have continued to turn their backs on me. It hurt and I wanted to scream or something for mercy. I wanted to beg them to let me go through with this because I knew there’s absolutely nothing that I would be able to do about it. I keep telling myself that if I allow this to happen, then I would definitely not be able to do a damn thing about it.
But when I saw him get hurt, I don’t know why but I sprang into action. I ignore the man who is snapping at me, and I immediately tend to Alexander’s wounds, knowing this has to be wolfsbane. There is a strange black hue underneath his skin that aligns with wolfsbane, and I know that his Beta sees this as well. I don’t bother saying a thing as I take out a vial and with my mouth, I feed him the medicine and make sure that he drinks it.
I feel a jolt of electricity course through my veins and it’s exhilarating but I don’t try to think about it anymore. I know that the only way I’m going to get through this is if I don’t allow this to end up completely sucking and I don’t know if I’m going to be able to do that. He can’t die on me though, not on my watch right now. If he dies, I might be utterly fucked.
“What are you doing?” His Beta yells at me, obviously a bit terrified of everything that has happened, “What did you do to him? Are you behind all of this?”
I want to roll my eyes and give him a snarky comment, but I know it won’t do me any good, “don’t start with me, I’m saving his life. I have had nothing to do with this and even if I did, there’s no way in hell that I would just tell you. I think you need to start thinking about yourself and how he managed to get into this state, don’t you think?”
He grits his teeth, but he knows I am right, “I didn’t know this was going to happen. Everything was going okay until it became obvious that it wasn’t, and I know for a fact that there’s no way I’m going to be able to do anything. Is he dying?”
“No, he won’t die.” I assure him, “But we need to get him somewhere safe.”
He picks Alexander up without questioning me any longer and takes off towards the pack house where he would get the best care. I ignore the people staring at me because they probably just have no idea who I am. I’m okay with that because I have never done anything to just be okay with how they have been treating me but what I do know is that I can’t allow anything to stand in my way for much longer. I do hope that Alexander can understand that I didn’t have much of a choice when it came down to this. I think he might end up getting a bit upset because we went against his words but there’s nothing that I could honestly say to change his words about it.
“What’s going through your head?” His Beta asks me as he stares at me like I have just grown a second head, “I have this feeling that you’re planning something, and I would appreciate it if you just came clean, so I don’t have to worry about killing you later.”
I grit my teeth now and glare at him, “If I wanted to kill him, I would have done it already. I suggest that you shut the hell up and let me do my job before he ends up getting worse.”
I thought that he would try to fight me on this, but he must have decided that it was not a good idea to keep tempting me. At least he is smart because I was at the point that I was debating on making sure that he knew what would end up happening if he didn’t stop. I have never been this kind of person before, and I would never allow myself to be either. I have been through so much in my life and it’s just how things have had to be. I just hope that I can get through this.
“The poison is slowing down; I believe the antidote is working.” I assure him, letting out a breath of relief, “I don’t think we have to worry about him getting hurt anymore. He has to be out of the bad area as well.”
He doesn’t look too sure as he glares at me, but he ends up nodding his head, “okay. Don’t expect any special favors though because you saved his life. I DO NOT trust you one bit.”
I just smile and shrug my shoulders, “That’s okay, you don’t have to trust me. I’m doing what is right and that’s all that matters.”
I thought that he might give me a bit of an attitude, but he must have decided it wasn’t worth it because he turned away from me and decided not to worry about it. I just laugh and run my fingers through my hair, hoping for the best. I know that this could turn on me and I know the consequences of allowing it to but I’m just hoping that I’m going to go down a path where I don’t end up having to worry about this again.
I hope they can see how much this does worry me though.
I don’t like having the tides against me and that seems like what is happening right now.
Running my fingers through my hair, I end up holding myself back because I couldn’t be completely sure of everything that is going to happen here and now. I know for a fact what everyone expects of me, but I know that there’s no way in hell that I can just accept it. I’m just glad that I have gotten through what I needed to before it all came crashing down.
But as his Beta is helping me remove his clothing to make him more comfortable, I end up going incredibly still when I see the crescent moon on his inner thigh. I reach up almost instinctively and I touch the spot on the back of my neck where my own mark lies. I had it hundreds of years ago, a sign of my fated mate but I never met that person. What kind of joke is this? Is the Moon Goddess trying to play me right now because I couldn’t be completely sure if this is the plan…
I hope she just knows what she is doing because I don’t like this game.
Chapter Three
Alexander
I don’t remember much of what happened to me, but I know that I had been attacked. I don’t know what they did to me, but I had to assume poison. I could hear a beautiful, melodic voice talking to me, coaxing me. It was odd how strange I felt because of it. It’s like I was the only one meant to hear that voice.
Very strange indeed. I wonder who is speaking to me.
I guess there’s only one way to find out.
The minute I open my eyes, I look around, trying to figure out where I am. I have so much going through my head right now, things that I would rather have kept a secret but I’m not going to complain after what I have been through. I know that it is very possible that I could be turned against if someone in my pack decided that they were better off without me but I hope they know what they were doing when they would have decided to make an enemy out of me.
I don’t know how the rogues managed to obtain that poison because it’s not so easy to come by. I’m going to have to figure it out because I can’t let it get into the wrong hands again. I groan softly as I rub my face, looking around and that’s when I see her watching me, making me wonder how long she has been here.
She is absolutely gorgeous with long, curly silvery-blonde hair and these gorgeous blue eyes. She’s on the slim side but she does look like she has very nice breasts and a glimmering smile on her delicate but beautiful face. I keep thinking that maybe I have just died and gone to heaven because why in the world would someone like her be here with me? I couldn’t be even completely sure about that.
Drawing in a deep breath, I just run my fingers through my hair and stare her down, hoping to get some answers. Like I have stated previously, I don’t know what’s going through her mind but what I do know is that I’m not going to let anybody, or anything stand in my way. I couldn’t be completely certain that she wasn’t the enemy but why do I already feel so connected to her? It’s an odd feeling.
“Do I know you?” I suddenly ask her, feeling like everything is falling into place, “I hope that you know whose Prescence you are gracing because I don’t take kindly to those who want to fuck me over.”
