Kill For The Alpha

The Smell

Third Person POV

Xavier shut the door behind him, as he paced around the room waiting for the healer to show up, he would kill Karnley if he didn't go and get the healer.

He paced around for almost thirty minutes, the day was already going advance and Karnley is still not here with the healer. ''What boils the rage within him Is the fact that the girl's temperature was rising.

" Karney!" he screamed his name, making his way to the exit of the room, he doesn't mind giving his flesh to animals in the wood, it would rather reduce rent and food shortage in the house.

As he was about to make his way out of the room when someone pushed it open. It was the healer and Karnley was behind her. '' What took you so long Karnley?'' he spoke with his deep voice, you could sense some boiling rage in it.

'' I- I'm sorry I took time, I was stuck by some stuff on my way'' he said. Xavier didn't want to show any concern about what happened to him on his way, so he brushed it off. What on his mind now was this fragile looking girl boiling in fever.

'' Alright, you can go now'' he gulps as he looked back at the female healer, who treats and give everyone their healing medicine. '' What happened to her?'' she asked dropping Boppy on the floor. Xavier's eyes followed her as she dropped her on the floor. '' What's that for?'' he asked.

'' It's for protection, it will keep her soul together'' she said, sitting on the bed where she is still laying, her eyes are still closed and thank goodness her palm was becoming sweaty because of the cardigan, Xavier has used to wrap her up. '' Her name is Boppy'' she said, then Xavier nodded.

'' I don't know what happened to her, but she has so many injuries on her'' he said, peeking at the lady pitifully. '' Okay, let me check'' she said, rubbing some dirt around her skin and on the bruises on her body. '' What's that for?'' He asked as he watched her. Xavier was quite curious as he asked whatever she does. '' The dirt?'' He repeated when she was not giving answers to him.

Her eyes were shut, seem like she was saying some words. Xavier gulp down the lumps in his throat again, as he wait and watch whatever she was doing.

Afterwards, she was done mumbling some words, she opened her eyes. '' The dirt on the bruises is what would tell you what happened, and how she can be treated'' she explained, then Xavier nods his head like a child who has just learnt something new.

Xavier himself was surprised how he got interested to know whatever happened to her, why does he care to know? Or the question is how can a pretty girl whose beauty seems like a goddess sustain this kind of cut on her? What the f**k happened? he was restless.

'' What did you see, Catty ?'' he asked. '' She was thrown off the cliff'' she said to him. Xavier squinted his eyes, '' No I doubt, if not she wouldn't be breathing right now'' he said shaking his head.

'' That is what I saw Xavier Luis'' she said smiling at him. ''Okay, get her treated please'' he stood up from the position, backing them as he thought of what could truly happen to her, or what is she? If she was thrown off the cliff why didn't she die?

The lady brought out a bottle, which seem like a black substance as the content, it smells so strong, like wet wood. Then she poured out some of the black substance in her hands and started rubbing it on every spot where she finds a cut. It seem to be like her whole body was cut, because the black substance was over her body, including the cartilage in her nose and her plain forehead.

Afterwards, she brought out a bottle again from her black leather bag. The bottle seem like Conte teas a liquid, then she slowly opened her mouth pouring it gently into her tight mouth. Hence, she put the cap of the bottles back in place.

'' Xavier Luis, leave her to rest for a while she would be fine'' she said, standing up from the bed. As she was heading towards the door when Xavier stopped her. '' You are forgetting something behind'' he pointed at the snake on the floor. ''Oh Boppy, I'm leaving her here she would need to stay to keep the girl's soul together through the healing process.

Xavier wasn't satisfied with the answer, of the purpose of the snake '' Why does she need her soul together? Isn't it together?'' he asked curiously squinting his eyes, and knitted his brow in confusion. '' That is because she went through hell, which is breaking her soul. This is why she's not waking up, but with Boppy by her side she would get well sooner'' she explained before walking out of the room. '' But? When are you coming to take her?'' Xavier ran his hands through his hair, he wasn't scared of the snake, but he was concerned about her, what if she didn't wake up?

'' She would wake up Xavier, and I will come to take Boppy when she does. Boppy would alert me when the girl is finally awake.'' She said then she went out of sight. Xavier took a deep breath before returning to the bed, where he was sitting before.

He just sat watching the girl, he suddenly felt like he has something to protect, he wants to watch over her and make her safe. What boils and disturb the peace of this moment was whenever he thought of what the healer said, he can't think of anything if not he would mess up his whole brain with confusion.

'' You will have to wake up first'' he put his hands on her head, rubbing it downwards, as he takes off the hair crawling on her face.

'' Brother, you seemed to be fond of the girl. Are you sure you don't know who she is?'' Rosmood suddenly appeared at the door, as he crossed his legs. '' Take your voice down Rosmood, her soul is trying to gather up'' he said to him.

'' As for being fond of her? That's not possible. I'm only concerned about what happened to her, and she looks pretty fragile. '' Haha brother, I know you well'' he grinned tapping at his shoulder.

" Rosmood, get yourself some sense okay? " he rolled his eyes. '' I have some senses Xavier that's why I sniffed her out, I know what she is, I know the scent'' he smirked, while Xavier couldn't say anything but just think of his words.
