Saved by the Lycan Alpha

Chapter 2: Familiar Scent

Marcus Pov

"What took you so long, brat?" I asked my cousin, Reverie, grumpily.

"Sorry, got stuck in a commotion there." Reverie replied as she humped to my car.

She is my cousin and my beta. She asked me to go with her to fetch her younger brother from this campus.

"And where is your brother?" I asked Reverie, my brow furrowing.

"Well, Cairo wanted to play hero and decided to help the poor girl who gets bullied by her cheater boyfriend and their campus queen bee." Reverie said she was looking in the direction where her brother Cairos was at the moment.

I turned my head in that direction and saw Cairo carrying a girl with blood in her elbow. I wasn't able to see her face because she was facing the other direction. But I felt something strange in my chest while looking at her.

I inhaled and smelled the girl's blood in the air and her scent. I can smell her from where I am. And she has a different smell than others.

"What's wrong? Can you smell enemies around?" Reverie asked.

"No. Your brother is wasting my time. Is he going with us or not?" I impatiently asked. Ignoring this strange feeling.

"Well, I guess we should get going now. Cairo is a pain in the ass sometimes, you know. I'm sorry for wasting your time." Reverie apologetically said to me.

"I told you Cairo is not a toddler anymore. He can take care of himself now. Stop babysitting your brother." I told her as I started the engine of my car.

"You know that I'm just worried that he might show his true self to other people. No one should know about us, right?" Reverie said.

"I can see that he can now control his emotions and abilities. Don't worry too much." I started the engine and drove away.

I took one last glance at Cairo and the girl he was carrying in the sideview mirror. Then we go out of that campus.

What the heck is happening? Why is my heart beating so fast?

"What the hell are you doing in this place, Reverie?" I yelled at her.

My beta is really losing my patience. She is supposedly making everything easy for me. But she is making my life more complicated. I shouldn't have chosen her to be my beta. This cousin of mine is very far from his father, who happens to be my father's beta before. What should I expect from a woman beta?

"I'm sorry, okay? I asked Alcard to fetch me, but it so happens that you already assigned him a very important task," Reverie reasoned.

"What did you do in that place?" I asked him with a grumpy face while driving my car out of this forest.

"I am looking for those rogues who attack the village near the city. but I lost track of them," Reverie explained.

"I already told you not to mind them," I told her.

"How can I do that? I can't just let them ruin the treaty we have to humans. We have to teach those rogues a lesson," Reverie said with determination in her eyes.

Yes. We have a treaty to humans: we won't let our kind hurt their kind.

"But we are not rogues. We are different from them." I focus my attention on driving.

"Yes. But we can't deny the fact that our appearance in our lycan form is a bit similar to theirs. It's not possible that they might think that we are like them. And besides, we are the ones who can stop them. So, why not do it, right?" Reverie stated.

I was about to respond to what she said when I heard a commotion on the other side of the forest.

"What? Did you hear them?" Reverie asked.

I have a much keener hearing and smelling ability than anyone else. And I can clearly smell the stinky smell of the rogues even in a very far distance.

But my brow furrows when I smell that familiar smell. Then I felt my heart beat fast again.

I don't know what's happening, but I felt a strong urge to move fast and go to where those smells and noises were coming from.

Before Reverie reacted, I was already out of the car, and in just a flash, I was already here. And I saw these rogues holding the unconscious girl.

Now that I'm in front of these rogues and the unconscious girl they are holding, I can clearly smell that familiar scent.

It belongs to that girl.

"What are you planning to do with her?" I asked them. while studying their position.

"Who are you? Mind your own business if you don't want your bone to be crashed by us," one of the rogues warned me.

I smirked. "You don't know me; that's why you have the guts to tell me that. I should be the one warning you." I look at the unconscious girl, then back at the rogue who is holding her. "Put her down, and I'm going to give you a chance to live." I told them. But of course I won't let them live after the trouble they are causing.

"Who are you to tell us what to do?" We are the ones who have already given you a chance to live. But you've already lost your chance. Kill him!" That rogue ordered the other rogue to attack me.

And I just give them a smirk.

Before they reach me, I move faster than them and kill them one by one.

Now, the only one left is the rogue holding the girl. And I suppose he is their leader.

He growled at me.

"Who the hell are you? What kind of human are you?" He asked me, almost screaming.

"I'm not a human. I'm a Lycan!" Then I move fast and wring his neck.

Then I caught the unconscious girl.

I inhaled her familiar scent, and when I saw her face...

I felt that the time had stopped.

What the heck is happening?

What am I feeling right now?

"You already killed those stinky rogues? You should have waited first. They're pissed me off, and I want to kill them with my own hands." Reverie finally reaches this place. She is looking angrily at the lifeless rogues.

"It's not my fault that you are so slow. You should have moved fast. Your problem with these rogues is over now. I've already killed them all." I said this without looking at Reverie. I can't take my eyes off the unconscious girl.

"Who is she?" "Did these rogues hurt her?" Reverie examined the unconscious girl.

"She was already unconscious when I got here," I replied. I let Reverie check on the unconscious girl.

"Huh? She has a bandage on her elbow. "Is she the girl that Cairo helped the other day?" Reverie looked at me with furrows in her brow.

I look at the girl. "What is she doing here in the forest?" I asked.

"Maybe she got lost and these stinky rogues attacked her," Reverie answered.

"What are we going to do with her?" Reverie asked.

"We can't take her to our pack. Drive her car out of this forests. We will wait until she becomes conscious," I told Reverie, then I carried the girl and placed her in the car.

"Alright. How about our car?" Reverie asked while helping me place the girl in the car seat.

"I will get it. Just wait for me outside the forest."

"Alright." Reverie gets in the girl's car.

I took a last glance at the unconscious girl's face before I moved fast to get my car.

We waited until the girl's consciousness came back outside the forest.

"Should we let her see us?" Reverie asked.

We are sitting at my car's hood. looking at the girl in her car.

"I don't think it's safe if we leave her at this place alone in that state." I'm still looking at her, and I still don't understand why I'm feeling this way right now.

I can still feel the fast beating of my heart.

Who is this girl?

Why am I feeling this way?

"How did she get her?" This place is far from their campus. Is she aware that this place is very dangerous? If we didn't see her, she might be taken or eaten by those rogues," Reverie said, thinking. "Should we take her home instead?"

"We do not know where she is living," I replied. "And I guess she is not a normal person." I added.

"What do you mean?" Reverie asked, her brow furrowing.

"I can smell her blood. She is not human." I am certain now that the girl has a different bloodline.

"Oh,my! Is she a vampire?" Reverie reacted exaggeratedly.

I gave her a bored look. "She is a werewolf."

Reverie gasped. "So, we save an enemy?"

"Did she do something wrong to you?" Reverie shakes her head.

"Then she's not an enemy. Unless she did something wrong with us. We can leave now." I started walking towards my car.

"We are going to leave her? She is not human, but she is no match for vampires or rogues that might go into this place." Reverie remark.

"Who are you? Did you two save me from those rogues who attacked me?" I turned and saw the girl standing outside her car.

She's awake now.

"So, she is not normal because normal people don't return consciousness that easily after being beaten by a rogue," says Reverie.

"No. We are just passing by, and we saw you here inside your car. We just check to see if you are alive or not. and we are about to leave." Now that I am looking into her eyes, I think I know the reason for my heart's fast beating.

"You are lying. I saw your face before I lost my consciousness." She is looking at me. No one dares look me in the eye. But this girl is different.

"What kind of creature are you?" Are you really a human? How can you manage to kill all those rogues alone?" The girl curiously asked.

I am a high breed Lycan, which is why I am strong, I can move fast, and I have keen smelling and hearing abilities even in my human form.

"You should go home. This place is dangerous." I turn back to get in my car. "Get in, Reverie."

"But should we leave her?" Reverie asked.

"As you can see, she's okay now. Let's go home." I was about to get in the car when I saw her approaching us.

"Wait! You saved me. Can I at least know your name?" she asked.

"You don't have to know who I am," I said without looking at her.

I saw Reverie's questioning look.

"Why?" the girl asked, puzzled.

"Because if I tell you my name, you have to tell me yours too," I said, still not looking at her.

"So what? I can tell you my name. I am Sanara Ivory Renez and you are?" I shut my eyes upon hearing her voice and her name.

"That was a very wrong idea," I said, shaking my head.

"But why? What's wrong with you? I just want to know the name of my Savior," I can sense the curiosity in her voice.

I turn to face her.

I could see her surprise reaction when she saw me from a short distance.

And now that I can clearly see her face while she's conscious, I am certain of what I am about to say.

"You already told me your name, and listen carefully because you are about to hear the name of your mate," I said, and she gasped. "I am Marcus Devior and you are now my Luna, Sanara Renez."
