The Wolf Who Saved Me

I was looking at the window when I saw a woman and a chubby man walking towards the forest with Logan, I think. I could not see their faces, but I am sure that the woman and the man were not one of the pack members.

“Another one of Reule’s women? When would he stop having women here?” I whispered to myself and went back to lie down on my bed.

I could walk properly now, but I could not run. I have not been joining the evening run for how many days now. But that was okay. At least I knew I was getting better. And in a minute, I fell asleep.

While in the forest, Alpha Coinin waited to meet Glen and Ivana. He did not like to meet them inside the house. He felt it was better to meet them in the forest.

“Alpha Reule, here they are,” Logan said.

Ivana’s eyes widened. She came with Glen, not knowing who would be her customer, and when Alpha Reule got mentioned, she got scared.

“Thank you, Logan,” Reule said, and Logan left.

He looked at the two before saying, “Lady, you looked surprised that you are meeting me. Didn’t my old friend Glen tell you?”

“No. I.. I was expecting a customer but.. but not you,” Ivana replied.

“Is that how you convince her, Glen?”

Glen nodded and did not look at Ivana. He was scared of both of them.

“You are damn scared to lose your life, but I am impressed. It did work. You bring Ivana here with me. But don’t fret I would pay you if you would tell me what I needed.”

The two looked at him with eyes lit. They are greedy was all that Reule had in mind when he saw the look in their eyes.

“Didn’t I tell you that he will pay us handsomely,” Glen said, trying to ease the awkwardness and fear.

“Now, if you want to get paid, answer my questions to the best knowledge you know. But if I found out that you two were lying, you two would die, and there would be no second chances. I hate liars and people who trespass my territory,” Reule said with a warning.

“Okay, what do you want to know,” Ivana said.

“I see you are not afraid anymore, that’s good! The first question to you is, is Killian dead? How did he die?”

“Yes, he is dead, and he deserved it because he was such a loser and a disgrace on our pack. He was beaten to death and castrated by our beta, Casper. But why do you want to know?”

Reule was starting to boil with anger, but he needed to control himself. He replied and said, “You don’t have the right to ask questions here. I do the questioning, do you understand me?”

The two nodded in fear as they could see that Reule was already upset, and if they continued upsetting him, he might kill them.

“Second, is Conri trying to order Henry to spy in my forest to look for a runaway she-wolf?”

“Yes. Casper was still unsuccessful in finding Wren. But they are scared to trespass your forest, so Casper struck a deal with Henry. However, Conri does not have the money to pay Henry, so I guess it has not started yet.”

“They better be afraid. And now I know their plan, I will be prepared for it. But why does Conri want Wren so bad? Isn’t he mated already?”

“Yes, he is already mated to a bitch, but I guess he can’t be contented. He still wanted her. And I once heard that there was another pack who wanted Wren, too. Conri wanted to find Wren so he could give her to that pack.”

“Which pack?”

“Unfortunately, I did not hear which pack was that.”

Reule roared because he was not that happy with Ivana’s answer. Glen, who got terrified, said, “Come on, Ivana! Tell him which pack. I want to get out of here alive.”

“Shut up! You put me in this mess. You put me in this mess, and now you expect me to save you.”

“What about you? Don’t you want to live?” Reule asked.

“I am not scared of you. You are just like those brute alpha and beta that I have in my pack. They feel like they know everything.”

“Ivana, please, stop. Don’t make him angry. He said he was going to pay us. Think of her as another customer,” Glen begged.

“Shut up! I am tired of all this arrogant and bullshit alpha. I am not their slave.”

“Ivana..” Glen begged again, but before he could finish what he was about to say, Reule swiftly moved. He cupped Ivana’s chin and looked at her with his dark gray eyes full of anger.

“Lady, I am trying to hold my anger, but you are testing my patience. You are not going to be my slave, and I will kill you if you keep doing that. Now answer my god damn question before I ripped your heart out.”

“As I told you, I don’t know. Look, I am a cleaning lady. I don’t get the privilege to know every discussion that Conri made to Casper. I am even telling you what I have overheard. And geez, stop trying to scare me like that. I am not afraid.”

Reule roared, and he ripped Ivana’s heart in a split second. Glen’s eyes widened. He rubbed it to check if he was not seeing it wrong. Ivana was on the ground dead, and Reule was holding her heart.

“Do you understand me, now, Glen? I don’t like someone who is making fun of me. You can now go and meet Logan at the gate. Give me your account number so I can pay you. And asked him to come here to take care of this bitch body.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Glen nodded and walked out of the forest with his legs and hands shaking. He told himself that he would not do this again.
