The Alpha’s Arranged Bride

LAVENDER’S POV

All eyes turned to the door, staring at Delilah, and she approached the bed. Her words were very peculiar in my mind. There was a moment when I doubted I could ever have a wolf. I had always wanted to feel among and part of the pack more than I already was.

If I had a wolf, I could better understand them. A few of the nurses at the hospital think I might not be able to operate very well around them because I did not know how wolves feel. And I was only acting with the knowledge I had concerning human medication.

Sometimes, I wished I could have a wolf, but I tended to tell myself that it was impossible because my parents were humans. There was no chance for me to have a wolf, not even a little.

I was eager to hear what she had to say. “I can?” I asked, and she nodded.

“Actually, you already have a wolf. That potion is only suppressing your wolf. All we need to do is give you a reverse potion to eliminate the potion from your body,” Delilah said, glancing at Caramel, who now had a big frown on his face.

“There is a way to help you, but it will require a lot from you to get it done,” she added, and I shook my head.

“I will do anything to get it back,” I said with determination in my voice.

This was my chance to make things right, and I was not going to coward away because of what it might take to get you done. Certainly, I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but resilience is something I’ve learned since joining this Pack.

I was going to do anything just to get my wolf back, so I was ready for whatever Delilah had planned. “The portion is ready,” she took it out of her pocket. “This is just the first dosage. You will need to take them at night. It will make you a little weak and you will feel so much pain. You don’t need to be scared that it is not working because it is. That is a clear sign that the potion is pushing out the bad medication from your system,” she informed me, and I nodded.

Delilah stretched her hands to pass it to me, but then Caramel spoke, “No, don’t give it to her.” He said and everyone turned to him, confused.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why?” I asked him, but he said nothing, his eyes glued to his mother.

I could tell he was not happy that I was being introduced to this or even trying to accept it, but I had to do this. “I know you are worried about me, but I can take it. I do not mind taking it, so long as I can be with you. Maybe the pack members were upset because it seemed like I did not have a wolf which would make me a weak Luna. With this, I believe that they would accept me officially and allow was to be together. Moreover, it would not hurt so much if you’re with me. You know you are my strength,” I told him.

He wasn’t looking at me, so I tilted his head a little so that he could, but no words left his mouth. All he did was stare at me with a strange look in his eyes. I was yet to understand what was going on with him, but right now, I could not ask about it until we were alone. I really wanted him to back me up here.

I was not trying to flatter him when I told him he was my strength because he really was. It was not something I could explain, but I knew he was my strength. At the moment, I was not too sure of how much pain I would have to go through, but I believe in my heart that no matter the pain with him by my side, it would not be so much on me.

I searched his eyes, waiting for him to say something, anything that will give me the go ahead. I waited for a few minutes and got nothing from him, so I turned to Delilah. “We can go ahead,” I said, and she passed me the small bottle.

“You can take it now as you won’t be going anywhere, so if it starts working, you do not have to worry about being outside the house.” She told me.

I knew Delilah was trying to help me. She would not bring this up if there was another less painful way to get rid of the problem. I was more than okay doing this, and I trusted her judgment. I have seen her take care of sick people, so I knew how much expertise she had in things like this. I trusted she knew what she was doing.

I slowly opened the small potion bottle I held, but just as I was about to take it, Caramel stood up. I snapped my head towards him instantly. “What is it?” I asked softly.

Again, no response from him. He was not ready to talk, but he kept acting strange. Why did he want to leave? I needed him here. I could not do this without him. Why could he not understand me? This was for both of us.

We had a few things to do to get the pack members on my side again, but we needed to start from the lowest to the highest. We could not do it all at once, which I understood. I was the one delaying our mating ceremony, and I believed it was on me to fix that.

However, I would still need him to help me, regardless. We are married anyway. Without a word, he headed for the door. “Cara…”

Before I could call him, he slammed the door behind him.
