Leela pov
I open my eyes and find white ceilings. I'm in the hospital? I look around and find hospital walls and machines. Who brought me here? I have left this place. That man was so dangerous. I need to find a way to give him his things and leave this place. His words were so sharp.
I got up and pulled the iv tube from my arms. My clothes were on the table, I stepped down and strong dizziness hit me. I hold the hospital bed. After some time, I waited to walk to the bathroom. After putting my clothes on I looked in the mirror, my eyes had dark circles because of the poison. I sigh softly. I just want him to talk to me normally. But he keeps insulting me. I was here to see you last time. Now that I see him. Time to go.
Suddenly the door got knocked.
"Hey, are you there?" Man's worried voice came from the other side.
"Who are you? Harry?" I asked in a hurry. Did that Alpha send a man to kill me? My body feels numb all of sudden.
"It's Max… Harry's brother. Are you ok? Can you come out?" I heard his worried tone.
I look at myself. I was a mess, but I couldn't do anything about my looks. I washed my make-up and wiped.
"Hey, are you coming out? Did you need help?"
"I'm fine. I'm coming out." I said with the opening door. I still feel weak. I need to eat something.
When I step out I see the same guys like Alpha Ken. He is tall like him, same body structure, His hair was blond not black like Alpha Ken. My friend told me all werewolves were tall and well built like Resler and handsome like tv actors, models. He was the same as them.
"Are you feeling good? I brought some breakfast. Come have some." He pointed to the bed.
He attended all types of breakfast in bed. I can't help but feel warm. He is so gentle and caring, not like him. Stupid Leela, forget about him. I look at a table filled with a different kind of food.
"I didn't know what you were going to eat so I brought everything…" He said with a big smile.
"Thank you. But I need to go…" I love to eat that yummy food. But he is Aloha Ken's brother. He may get mean any time. I don't want him to think that he can humiliate me like this. I can eat outside.
As I step forward my head spins and loses my balance. He was fast to hold me.
"Be careful… You are so weak. You need to eat something…" He helped me to sit on the bed.
"Thank you… But you don't need to help me. I always get up when I fall… No one will help me before." I give him a weak smile.
He froze by my words, then again he smiled brightly.
"What did you want to eat? You need sugar for walking. Here, start with eating some cake..." He opened a cake box for me.
"Did he know you were here? If not then go back. I don't want him to get angry. Because he thought I’m flirting with his brothers..." I said looking at him.
"You don't have to worry about him. He knows that I'm here. In fact, he told me to stay here. When you wake up I'll tell him." He took his seat in front of me and said with a smile.
"Oh…" This is new to me.
"Now eat…" He said in a hurry.
I pick up a spoon and take a bite of cake. He smiled satisfied. My mouth filled with sweetness. I want to enjoy this cake slowly. But I can't do it right now. I need to leave the hospital. I finished the cake and took a sip of some tea.
"Thanks for the cake and tea. Give me your number so I can send you money." I got up from bed. Ready to go.
"Hold on, one second. Where are you going? You need to rest more and the doctors examined you. You need to treat poison..." He said to hurry. He stood in front of me.
"They can't treat my poison. I need to go. I'm fine now."
"No way, I can't allow you to go like this. You are weak, you can't even walk properly. And if you go like this, Harry and Ken will kill me." Max said in a serious tone.
"You can't stop me. I have to go. And don't worry about your brother, he will be happy when he finds out I'm left."
"You misunderstood my brother, he has a short temper. But he is not bad."
"Gold digger! He gave me this new name. Last night he told me what was in his eyes. He gave me his money card to live a luxurious life… He thinks I'm a w***e who seduces rich men for money. He is disgustedà by me because I'm a bloody human!"
"Please, stop! Did he really say all this to you?" He looks sad and angry too.
"He rejected me because I'm human. And I get it. He finds a beautiful girl for himself. I am happy for him. But I don't like that he keeps insulting me. I was here to give his things to him. After that, I'll leave this place. That's it." I pulled a small pouch and handed it to him.
"What is this?" He takes the pouch from my hand and looks at me in confusion.
"He forgot something back where we met. I just want to give this to him myself. But I saw him hate me so much. I should leave this to you. Can you give this to him? I don't want to face him again." I said with a smile.
"But…" He tried to say.
"Please, it's a request. I need to go." I pat his hand and walk out of the room holding walls. My body is so weak I can't even walk.
"Hey… Can I help you walk…" Max stopped in front of me.
He is like Harry, a caring guy. I looked at him then nodded. He held me by arms and walked out of the hospital. He helped me on the road.
"I'll drop you?" He asked in a worried tone.
"No… it's ok… I can get a cab…"I try to say. I don't want him to feel pity for me.
"Look I can't leave you like this. Let me know where to go. Please, it's a request. I’m saying this nicely because I don't want to hurt you.” He said with a playful smile. I was taken back. He looks sweet and innocent, but he is not fully innocent.
"Ok." I said and he ran to his car. He pulled the car in front of me. He helped me get into his seat. I told my hotel address. He drives smoothly.
"Hey, mind if I asked you who is giving you poison?" He started a conversation.
"No one…" I said in a tired tone.
"Who wants to kill you?" He asked another question.
"Myself…" I said with a weak smile.
"Oh, come on. Give an honest answer. You know someone tries to kill you by poisoning you. If you tell me I'm ill…''He got frustrated.
"You are sweet like Harry. I appreciate your consort. But I can't tell you about who and why they are giving me poison. Because I accept that poison for myself. I was taking poison every day." I said in a tired tone.
"Why are you taking poison in the first place? You know you will die if you keep taking that poison…" He said desperately.
"Die? Well, that was what I wanted. I don't have a reason to live my life. I'm Oprah, my family won't want me, they reject me as your brother does. My whole life was wasted. No one loves me, no one wants me and I don't have someone to spend my life with. So I made a deal with the devil. I give my life to be happy after worlds. Maybe I can find peace in there." I saw with a sleepily smile.
He stared at me with widened eyes. No one talks normally like this. He turns his eyes to the road and keeps driving.
"Why do you think negative? Maybe you can find happiness here if you try to find it." He had mixed feelings. I know what he is feeling, sad, and pity for my life.
"I try… But it won't help it. Happiness is a myth for me. I'm tired of finding happiness for myself… I was walking on the path to death. Only one mouth and I get to my destination." I said looking down at my watch.
"Please don't say something like this… Life is wonderful… You can't choose death, just because someone rejected you."HE said in an angry tone.
"Of course, life is wonderful. But for me, it is cursed. Death is wonderful for me." I said looking out of the car. the sun was shining in the sky. It does not heat strong but still feels warm.
"Can you please stop saying that?" He is getting frustrated.
"Sorry. I'll keep my mouth closed." I said looking out of the window.
He kept driving quietly. I looked back at him. He was spacing out. Did he do what I thought?
"Don't try to tell him what's going on with me. Do you even know anything… Don't mind the link..." I said, looking at him spacing out. He was minding someone.
"How did you know I was mind linking?" He looked at me shocked.
"I'm human… But I know everything about werewolves. My friend told me, ``she is a vampire." I chuckled softly.
"Well, impressive. You know about werewolves."
"I know about rejection and Mate too." I said calmly.
He sighs again. A car stopped in front of my hotel.
“Thanks for the ride, Max. We will never meet again, but still, I will never forget you. I will never forget the good people that I meet two… Or maybe three in my life. One was you and Harry...”I open the car’s door and after saying that.
“Well, you are wrong here… Leela. We will meet again soon…” He wrinkled at me playfully. He drove his car forward.
Well, he is a cheerful guy. I like to talk to him more. But I have to go. I walk up to my room. Thank god, I was better at walking. I picked up my bag after dressing in a grey t-shirt and blue jeans. I walk down to my Bike. I sat on my bike and started it.
“Goodbye, Alpha Ken… Maybe next life you want me…” I murmured and drove on the road.
*****
Alpha Ken
After a long meeting with pack members, I got free time to meet her. I hope she doing good. Max told me that she sleeping peacefully. I feel so guilty about rejecting her. If she was wolf then I’ll find a way to make her my Luna. But she is human.
“Ken…” I heard my father's voice.
I look back and find he is not alone at all. Emma’s father is with him. I see Emma behind them. Did she tell you what happened last night? What if father finds out about her?
“Yes, father... “ I asked politically. I always talk to myself this way. I don't see any relationship with each other bothering him doing what he wants.
“Austin came to discuss the Luna ceremony. Come to my office.” He ordered me like he thought he was Alpha.
Alpha never takes orders from others. So I hold my anger and follow him. We got into his office.
"Father, as we talk about the ceremony… I'll arrange everything…" I said ending the conversation.
"Hold on little Alpha… Emma told me you got angry at her last night… Why is that?"
I looked at Emma who was scrolling through her phone. Ignoring what we discussed. I look back at myself.
"I'll love to tell you two things that are more important than my father promised. One is I'm not little Alpha, called me Alpha Ken… And second Emma is going to become Luna of the Royal moon pack. So act like one. I'm going to become her mate. Not father… To be faithful to her all wishes. She needs to learn what is good for my pack. The big title brought big responsibility." I said seriously.
My father and Astin take back. Emma, who was on the phone, looked at me scared.
'Ken… Your mate is…' Max just mind links me. He looks tense. Did something happen to her?
'Max…' I try to talk to him. But closed his mind link, but why? I started feeling anxious now.
"Austin, Ken is right. I'll agree with some teachers for Emma. They can teach her how to act. As you see we are a royal family. We can't make mistakes in our Luna ceremony. We need to show the whole wolf pack how perfect their Luna is." Father's voice makes me come back to reality.
Austin nodded in understanding. Emma pouted in displeasure. She was thinking all this was so boring. How can I spend my whole life with her? Why can't she just disperse from my life?
"I agree with you. Emma will be attending all classes, right Emma." Austin said in a serious tone.
"Now, if there is nothing else to talk about. I'll take my leave. I need to do my Alpha's duty." Before anyone says anything to stop me. I walk as fast as I can. I walk or packhouses. Harry met me in the middle.
"Brother… I was going to see Leela in the hospital."
"I'm coming too." I said opening my car's door.
Harry got into the passenger seat. I drive as soon as possible. In between driving, I try to mind link to Max. He opened his mind like.
'I'm on the way to the hospital.' I told him.
'Ken, You are late.' Max said as soon as I got in touch with him.
"What did you mean?" I break into the car in a hurry.
"What's wrong, brother?" Harry asked in a worried tone.
'Max… what did you…'
'She lifts hospital… I try to stop her but she is so stubborn.' Max told me everything they talk about.
'Meet me in her hotel. She had no right to leave me like this…' I said, closing my mind. My wolf started winning.
"It's your fault… Our Mate left me… I hate you…' My wolf growled in my head and got muted.
I want to talk to him. But I can't find words. My finger is gripping the starting week so tightly that they look white.
"Brother, what happens? Why are you so angry?" Harry's voice made me snap back.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm down my anger. This is not time for anger. I need to find who is giving her position. Who wants to kill her? I can feel her situation was because of me. If I won't reject her and leave her. She will be ok beside me. But now she is poisoning God for why?
Do I keep her close to me? Until I find out who wants to kill her. I'm going to protect her no matter what.
'Leela, I'm coming for you… wait for me.' I thought and opened my eyes. I started the car and drove to her hotel.
