Bride of the Werewolf - The Substitute Wife

010 Heal the Wolf King

Now Zona felt that she had practiced her courage a bit, making her feel that even if she was in the stronghold of the wolves, surrounded by these mythical creatures, she did not feel terrified!

In fact, she knew in her heart that this courage came from that person, the man with golden eyes who was surrounded by the white wolves in the center in front of her, with his back turned to her.

In the end, Zona walked cautiously, the corridor after leaving the room was colder than the room, and the cold wind made the wolf's blood on her back even colder.

She followed behind the wolves, and together they walked to a large door on the fifth floor, and then Varg, who was at the front, pushed open the jewel-encrusted door with one hand, and inside was an auditorium-like room, with a huge skylight in the center of the roof, and the sunlight shone in through the window, shrouding a round jade stone platform on the floor that was covered with flowers and trees, and the complicated patterns on the upper edge could show the high skill of the artificial carving at that time, but now it was a bit worn out. The intricate patterns on the stone platform showed the skill of the carvers, but now it was a little worn, the light shone out in a sacred circular circle, Varg put the giant wolf in his hand on the stone platform, the giant wolf slowly changed, and then it turned into the body of a well-built man.

Zona hesitated for a moment, she had learned some of the medical techniques of bones and limbs under her parents before, and she thought she might be able to help! She looked up at the crowd in front of her and carefully found a less crowded area and dug in.

She saw that Varg, holding a small vial of medicine, was having a difficult time with the man on the stone platform, who had a large gash in his stomach, his intestines already visible, and his hind legs were somewhat abnormally bent.

To the man-wolf pack, this was equivalent to a death sentence, and there was no good doctor in the village down the mountain, and if they had to send someone to the town it might take a day and a night, and the wolf king might even be dead by then. So there was no other way but to put the chief back on this stone wall in his ancestral land and see what the wolf god would do.

Varg looked at the badly injured wolf with a depressed expression and suppressed sadness in his golden eyes, this was his older brother from the same father.

Zona walked over to Varg. Looking at his familiar hand, he decided to give it a try, just in case it worked! It couldn't be any worse than what was happening now anyway.

She looked up at Varg and saw that the man was somewhat ghastly with blood splattered all over his body and face. Still, cautiously, she said, "That, or let's sew up its stomach first, so it can heal and be medicated."

Zona shrugged her nose and sniffed, she noticed this green ointment in Golden Eyes' hand, it was the one she had smeared on her body when she first woke up in the tree house, she was indeed saved by this person! And it didn't just cure frostbite, it seemed to cure trauma as well, which she found somewhat amazing.

Varg frowned at the wolf king who was in a very poor state, he probably understood Zona's meaning to treat the wolf king's injuries, after thinking about it, there was no other way, so he nodded towards Zona.

Zona was saddened to notice Sandra, who was lying beside the injured man, holding his hand and helping him lick his broken leg.

This would be Sandra's husband, the leader of the pack.

Zona, though she had every intention of saving the Wolf King, didn't know how to do it now.

"Is there a needle and thread? " Zona asked Varg beside her,he looked around suspiciously and everyone said no.

The Lycans didn't have the habit of sewing, here men and women would hunt for a living and would regularly send people to trade under the mountain, together with the money left to them by their ancestors, the Lycans were actually very rich and nourishing, and for consumable items like clothes, they usually threw them away when they wore them out, and then brought their own skins that they plucked from other wild beasts to the tailor under the mountain, and for generations that family of tailors had been in the service of the Wolf God, and they've developed a good supply and buy relationship

And Zona looked at the bewildered wolves, she was lost in thought, she bit her lip and went to the kitchen and found a dead sheep, tore off the clean part of the intestines and used it as a thread of meat for sewing, then she went to Goldeye's den and took out the long thin fangs of the animal she didn't know what they were. She smashed the end of the fang slightly with a stone to make a small opening that would hang the sheep's intestines. Then, in a hurry, she sat down on her knees beside the injured wolf king, and with shaking hands and trembling hands, she sewed up his abdominal wound, which had already seen his internal organs.

Varg dismissed the other wolves that surrounded him, leaving only Sandra, the Wolf Queen, to hold the Wolf King's hand tightly.

It was only when it was getting dark that Zona fixed his broken leg with a branch so that it would not grow crooked and mutilated.

Even with the cold wind blowing, Zona was still sweating, and when some of this was over, her high heart finally dropped, and then she fainted as everyone watched.

Varg stepped forward and scooped up the fainted Zona, gazing at her carefully, he didn't see any injuries on her body, he was probably just too tired. With some hesitation he carries Zona back to his room and lets her rest on the bed for now.

*

Evening.

Varg entered a door on the fourth floor of the castle, the room was warmly decorated, on a large bed surrounded by curtains lay a sleeping old woman, who opened her cloudy blue eyes when she realised that someone was approaching, this was Varg's "mother" with the king of the wolves, who reported to her about his brother's injuries.

On the other side, the other wolves stood on a hillock, howling at the moon and praying for their leader, who communicates with nature and heaven and earth, following in the footsteps of the Wolf God, respecting life, begging for it, and fearing it.

*

Zona was half asleep in her bed, the long howl of the pack outside the castle burrowing into her ears and heart as if her soul was resonating with it. Her body was hot, and she slept until morning.

The next day, Zona woke up hungry, and it took her half a day to remember where she was. So she got out of bed and gently pushed the door open to look out, just in time to see a pack of fluffy coyote pups running past happily as you chased them, scaring her so much that she almost fell over.

"Watch out miss!" Several maids with fluffy tails held Zona up to prevent her from falling to the ground, "Please be careful, be careful of tripping over the wolf cubs!"

Zona looked at them in disbelief, after the maids' explanation, she realised that yesterday, these little wolf cubs were all locked up in one of the castle's rooms until the crisis was lifted, and they were only allowed out of their dens today, so they were extra happy!

She nodded her head and cautiously made her way to the fifth floor, intending to check on the Wolf King, however, along the way, apart from these maids and manservants, and the coyote cubs, the men and women from yesterday were nowhere to be seen. She pushed open the door and found the Wolf King still lying on the stone platform from yesterday, some tranquilising herbs were placed around him, a thin sheet was covering his body, although he was still unconscious, he looked much better, and he was surrounded by a few white wolves, discreetly guarding the injured Wolf King

In fact, what Zona didn't know was that most of the members of the wolf pack, even if there was enough food, they still had to go hunting in groups, leaving only a very small number of them to watch the pups, plus guarding the wolf nests, and if there were any accidents, they would be able to give a warning.

As soon as Zona appeared here, the adult wolves that stayed behind were a bit afraid, staring at Zona's every move. This made her a little manic, so with some trepidation she left the area and walked outside the castle, she remembered that there were hot springs nearby and she planned to check them out.

Walking over to the hot springs in the garden outside the castle. zona cupped some of the hot spring water in her hand, it was so hot! Sniffing down, there was no odour either, licking it slightly, it was fresh water. She finally found a drinkable water source!
