The Wolf Who Saved Me

We did not find anything new. Everything seemed to be okay, and at some point, it made me ask, ‘Did Conri give up already?’ But I know he was a person who would just give up like that. We went back to gather with the rest of the members.

“People, that was a good run. I am happy that Wren here had recovered from illness and was able to join the evening run. However, I would like to announce that we will not have an evening run tomorrow. I will assign five people to check the area during the evening, but you are welcome to continue the usual party. I will be meeting an alpha of another pack which is why we would not be doing the run. But it doesn’t mean that we have to be complacent. We are lucky that the spies had never returned, but we need to protect each other. Be cautious about tomorrow’s party, especially since I will not be around. Now, let’s eat!” Reule announced.

I walked towards him and asked, “Are you going to meet Alpha Henry of the Blue Pack?”

I looked at him with all my curiosity, and he did not answer. Reule only looked at me.

“What? What’s wrong with my question?” I added.

“Why are you even asking?” Reule replied.

“Hey, don’t I have the right to ask?”

“No,” Reule directly answered and started to walk away.

“Why not?”

Lila came before Reule could even answer my question.

“What are you two doing? Don’t you notice that you two looked like flirting with each other?” Lila asked, looking at me sharply.

Reule stopped, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “For all I know, you are the only one who thinks that way. What do you want, Lila?”

I did not interfere but let the two talk to each other. But I am dying to know if I was right in thinking that Reule would be meeting with Henry of the Blue Pack. I wanted to go with him and hear what Henry had to say.

“Can I go with you tomorrow? I promised I would be good,” Lila said.

I rolled my eyes and looked away. If I knew, Lila only wanted to come because she wanted the other pack to think that she was Reule’s Luna. She doesn’t want any other she-wolf to steal Reule away.

“Your twin is the one I needed to come and not you,” Reule replied, and I almost laughed.

“What are you laughing about? Are you trying to make fun of me? You are not even supposed to listen to our conversation?” Lila hissed.

I rolled my eyes again and, without looking at her, replied, “You were the one interrupting our conversation. Anyway, Alpha Reule already left; I am leaving, too.”

Lila turned and saw Alpha Reule heading to talk to Landon.

“Shit!” Lila whispered. She started walking briskly and shouted, “Wait, Alpha Reule! Alpha Reule! We are not done talking yet.”

I took my food and sat to eat. My mind was still wondering if Reule would be visiting Henry, would he confront him? What would happen? Would it create a fight against two packs? I can’t help but feel a little worried. I felt like this was all because of me.

Adriana came and suddenly asked, “What is on your mind? You seemed to have spaced out there.”

I smiled and said, “I am sorry. I was just thinking of which pack would Reule be visiting tomorrow. I asked, but Reule did not want to answer.”

“Oh, that, I heard Logan said that Henry, the alpha of the Blue Pack, had called a few minutes before the evening run started. Reule seemed to have left a message to him, and Alpha Henry agreed to meet him tomorrow at 05:00 PM.”

“Do you know why would Reule meet him?”

“No idea. But sometimes Reule is like that. He likes to arrange a meeting with other alphas in the state to know what is going around. It helped him in making decisions for the pack and let him know what sort of measures he had to take for the pack’s safety and security.”

“Ah, so this is more of like a routine?”

“Hmm.. you could say that, but you know only Reule could tell you exactly his reasons why he wanted to see Alpha Henry.”

“Have you ever met Alpha Henry?”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“No. I have never come across Alpha Henry or visited his territory. I know that he is also a ruthless leader whose pack is one of the poorest. But he is running it well despite it being small and poor. But why are you curious to know whom Alpha Reule would be meeting? Do you think Reule would visit your previous pack?”

I could not tell Adriana that I already had a feeling that Reule would be meeting Henry, and she just confirmed it. What I wanted to know was why. But I could not tell Adriana that everything had something to do with me, so I had to lie.

“Yeah, I am wondering if he would be meeting my old alpha.”

“Hmm.. hey, don’t worry. Even if Reule met your previous alpha, I know he will not just hand you to him. I know he will protect you. Don’t worry, okay?”

I just nodded and smiled. I was dying to tell Adriana that Reule would someday hand me to Conri. He is just waiting for Conri to come and pick me up. Conri just doesn’t know that I am here hiding on this pack.

“I am happy that you are okay now. I have missed you joining the run and this party. Nana and I were scared that something might have happened to your legs, but we are relieved that you have healed from it.”

“I have never been sick like that. I was also scared, so when I could walk and felt that my legs were strong enough to run, I decided to come out of my room and join the run. I wanted to test it if I could really do it. And I am so happy that it’s back from its usual strength.”

We continued talking. I missed chatting with Adriana. I felt like I had never seen her for a long time. But my mind could not help but wonder what would happen when Reule meets Henry. What will they talk about? Would it be because of me?
