Alpha King’s Special Soulmate

THEME: Protecting my mate

(Avery’s Point Of View)

A dream? Yes, it was all a dream. I could feel a hand on my forehead, a gentle contact, warm and careful. I felt a pain when the soft warmth dissolved and the comfort was gone. My body was on fire and an ache all over my body. I felt the heat, cold, the pain burning and deep bone aches.

Then I felt my body shaking. If was a convulsive shivering. In my unconscious state, I felt strong arms pinning me down to keep me in place. A deep voice, so soft and soothing pleaded with me to not give up.

“Call the Theta!” Another baritone voice barked out orders.

“Avery.. please.. stay with me.” The first voice pleaded.

“We should give her the concoction before the Theta arrives. It might help suppress the pains she is feeling.” A sweet voice said.

I was too weary to even open my eyes. The shivering grew as I heard soft pleads in my ears. “Avery, please…”

“She needs your warmth so embrace her tightly.” A different voice instructed.

A strong arms gathered me and held me so tight. My mouth was forcefully opened as I felt something against my lips. A warm liquid as I almost choked on it but I managed to swallow it down her throat.

And gradually, the shivering lessened as I snuggled into the warmth. A voice whispered that I would be fine and very slowly I blacked out completely.

*******************

I woke up to absolute silence and darkness. I blinked my eyes to have a clearer vision of where I was. I recognized this place to be Kayden’s room. I groaned in pain as I moved my right arm that felt so heavy and tight.

What really happened to me? How did I ended up in black moon pack? I closed my eyes for a moment and lay very still as I remembered the whole drama with my mate.

My confession to Freddie about my relationship, waiting for Kayden’s return, the warm embrace I shared with good friend and Kayden beating up an innocent human who had tried to defend me. The abuse on me that made me cringe and the news about Freddie’s death that brought tears into my eyes again. The fight with Kayden to prove my innocence until I passed out.

I sank deeper into the bed that made me feel warm as I remembered everything. Kayden brought me to his pack. Why? I pondered deeply until another set of images flashed through my mind’s eyes.

The dream. Why do I keep seeing this she wolf? Why does she want my destined mate? What’s the significance of Freddie being in my dream? To save me? Yes, I recalled how he had distracted the she wolf for me to escape but I didn’t want to go anywhere with a dead soul. Perhaps was it a sign of Freddie saying his final goodbye to me? Was he warning me about the dangers ahead?

I felt tears slipped down my cheeks as I thought of Freddie. To be honest, I was still finding it hard to believe Freddie was truly dead.

“Please forgive me… Freddie.” Guilt crept up in my heart as I cried my eyes out.

I also didn’t forget loosing a pub in the dream. What is it? A sign that I would have a pub for my mate? A good sign or a bad sign? I couldn’t think of the right answers to these disturbing questions because Freddie was top most on my mind at the moment. He is my life saver.

I opened my eyes slowly when I heard the opening of the door. I sensed several footsteps belonging to different people but my nose only picked up my mate’s scent.

“Do you think she is awake?” I heard alpha Scott’s voice.

“We should check.” Luna Beatrice replied.

“I think she is crying.” Katherine voice said after I did a long sniff and used the bed cover to wipe my face.

“She is awake!” Luna Beatrice coaxed.

Slowly I turned my head toward the only light source in the room which was a bed side lamp.

“I’ll switch on the light.” Katherine added.

“Avery,” Luna Beatrice called at me and soon a brighter light shined in the room.

She came closer to the bed. “Are you okay?” She helped me sit up on the bed as I rested my back and head on the headboard.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Kayden’s eyes and mine met but I looked away with my gaze fixed on the light in the ceiling. He was few feet away from the bed. He was dressed in a top and casual black short.

“Have you been crying?” Katherine as as she moved towards the bed.

I didn’t give a response to her question.

“Avery, are you still feeling pain on your right arm?” Luna Beatrice pointed and my eyes drifted down to my right arm only to see a bandage on my wrist. I didn’t even notice it only that I could feel the heaviness because it was swollen.

“The theta said you need to be careful with it. And it might take some time to heal if you stress it too much.” Katherine said in a pitiful tone.

Yeah I know that I am a mess and I look pathetic all thanks to my mate. I had incurred the injury after Kayden pushed me away from him to the ground.

Remembering how it happened made my tears flow again. And with my left hand still working fine, I reached out to wipe my tears and at the same time making sure that the bed cover around my body doesn’t come loose. I was dressed in just bra-let and painted underneath the bed cover.

No one said a word for about two minutes until alpha Scott broke the silence.”Tell me what happened.” He demanded.

“I lost a good friend.” I started off and recounted the incidence to them. I don’t know what Kayden had told his family, I don’t care but I narrated my part. How my mate doubted my loyalty and faithfulness, how he had hit my friend and I out of anger, everything, I said everything that happened in tears. And I ended with a question to my mate, “What else else do I need to do?” But I got no response from him. Kayden was silent throughout my narration.

Alpha Scott expressed his disappointment in his son and how he intends to be a good leader with this cruel act he has showed towards me. Alpha Scott stated that Kayden was a role model to many young wolves so how would they feel if they heard that the soon to be alpha beat up his mate and future Luna. Alpha Scott was furious and he didn’t hide his words because Kayden was his son. He even asked if I wanted Kayden to receive punishment from him, twenty lashes he had said but I disagreed with him.

I don’t want to ever be like my mate. I know he has done something wrong by hitting me but I would also share his pain if he gets whipped. The alpha, Luna and Katherine apologized on his behalf and they begged me to forgive my mate. I don’t have anything against my mate andI also made a promise to never mention it to anyone not even my parents.

Despite his wrong deeds, I was still willing to protect him and his reputation as the future alpha of this pack.
