The Wolf In Me

Chapter 15: Part 2 My wolf took over

I woke up with a headache the next day and opened the windows to see an ugly grey looking sky. I exhaled whilst I turned away from the window to wake up Luka that was still fast asleep.

"Wake up sweety. It is late."

He moved his arms and legs just a little but he remained asleep with his back facing the ceiling.

"Luka, you need to wake up. Everyone is waiting for you downstairs."

He groaned and started to wake up slowly, muttering and purring softly. I smiled as I waited patiently for him to turn around.

He yawned so loudly that he was probably heard from the hall.

"Good morning," he said as he finally sat down on the bed.

"Oh hello, there sleepyhead," I teased, leaning in for a peck on his warm lips.

"How are you?" He asked now looking at me attentively.

"I've got a headache but I'm fine," I said.

He lifted his arm reaching my hand and pulled me closer to kiss my head.

"This kiss will heal you," he said smiling "I promise it will work as it came out of love".

I giggled softly and hugged his neck.

"Thank you, my love," I said back then left to go to the bathroom to take a shower and join Luka for breakfast.

'Are you ok Mei?" Luka asked observing me as I sat down on the chair opposite him.

"You don't seem so well."

My headache seemed to get worse and worse as time passed. It felt like something wanted to come out from my brains. I was helping Luka file in some papers as we were in his office but I stopped and held my hand on my head thinking it will help my pain go away.

"You know what? I am going in the room for a short nap," I told Luka placing my hand on his shoulder.

"Are you ok Mei? You look pale," he said again looking at me with a concerned look.

"I will be ok," I said smiling.

I stood up slowly from the chair but my body felt weak and numb and I fell unconscious.

Luka's POV

I was shocked to see Mei in such state. I could feel that she was not ok and immediately grabbed her right before she fell. I started screaming out for a doctor and Jake came running in. As soon as he saw her unconscious he left the room and hurried to get help.

When the doctor came the first thing he did was listen to her heart and checked the pulse. Just watching him touch her skin was enough to send my brain into anger mode but I tried to breathe in and out to relax.

"With your permission alpha, we need to take her to hospital grounds. We promise to take good care of her," I rolled my eyes breathing heavily.

I started walking towards the door with her in my arms but the doctor stopped me and looked at me with an expression that said that it was best if he takes her himself so I would not be in the way.

"Go," I said with a growl. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I looked away as I couldn't handle the feeling I had, watching her in such state and held in someone else's arms.

As I waited for some time in the office I couldn't make myself work anymore. All I could think was about Mei. I felt numb and helpless and so I rushed outside for some air and went down on my knees with a heavy thump and looked up at the sky.

"Sweet Moon Goddess, you have taken good care of my pack and myself even when I forgot who I was. Please be with us now that I am back to serving you and our kind."

My eyes filled with tears and I continued my prayers aloud. "With your beauty and grace, I beg of you to take care of my beautiful Mei. I won't be able to be a good alpha without her. She is my rock. You have given her to me when I was in most need. I will lead my pack and make them strong and I will do it all in your name my dearest Goddess."

I stood up from the ground wiping away tears of fear. Finally, a doctor came to inform me that it was fine to go see her.

"Alpha, is everything alright? You don't look like the usual you," Nelson asked me as I reached the door.

He was walking towards me with his sweaty body after going for a long run he does every morning. I looked at him with my sad eyes and explained what happened to Mei.

"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry to hear. You must go to her. Your presence will help her heal. You are her mate and a strong alpha. If you need my help please, do ask for me." I nodded and rushed to Mei's side.

Mei was still unconscious but breathing still.

"Mei, if you can hear me, I prayed for you to our moon God. She will be with you through this. I love you, my queen."

I sighed and watched a nurse walking into the room with a sack of blood.

"What happened to her?" I asked.

The nurse shook her head.

"I apologise but the doctor would give you the correct answer. I am only doing what I am asked to do."

She looked at me with innocent eyes. I nodded and waited patiently for the doctor to arrive.

"Alpha, it seems like she was somehow poisoned," the doctor said stopping a few feet away from me. I stared in surprise.

"P...poisoned?" The doctor watched me as my eyes turned red.

I felt upset, confused and angry at the same time.

"Who would do such a thing?" I growled.

The doctor looked at me with concerned eyes but he didn't dare say a word. I pulled myself up from the chair, dropping it to the floor.

I felt like my body wanted to shift. But I couldn't do that in the medical ward. I started to breathe heavily holding myself against the wall. I growled with my alpha voice as Simba wanted to emerge.

"No, Simba, No," I moaned, resisting the shift.

It was painful to resist but I tried to remain focussed. I barged out of the hospital and rushed into the forest as I knew that Simba wanted to get released. I growled heavily. The birds in the trees that were chirping all flew away causing chaos. I couldn't suppress any longer and Simba took over.

"Aaaaaarrrrrrrghhhhhhhhh."

My screaming voice turned into a growl. Simba howled loudly looking at the sky, before running deep into the forest. He ran as fast as he could trying to release his anger. We spent hours rushing in between trees until we reached a river, then Simba stopped abruptly breathing in and out heavily. We got thirsty enough to drink from the river.

I shifted back slowly and laid down to look at the green trees above me. I started to think who could have possibly done such treason. Someone jealous maybe, or someone out of our pack that snuck in and wanted to send a message. I spent hours in the same spot until it was getting dark. I decided to shift back into my wolf form so I could run faster and head back to the packhouse before it was dark.

On my way back we sensed someone or something running behind me and as we turned our head around still running, we barged into a tree and fell to the ground. My wolf stood up slowly as we felt dizzy from the hard-hit and looked around, but nobody was there.

He started sniffing and caught a familiar scent. He growled softly feeling confused. Could it be? A large brown wolf started walking towards us with red alpha eyes.

"Not possible," I mumbled to myself.

"My son," he said with his telepathic voice.

I moved backwards not understanding how I can see him there when I knew he was dead.

"F.f.f. father," I mumbled. "How?" I asked staring at him. He smiled as he shifted into human form.

"Yes, it's me. I am back. I am here to help, though I doubt you need any since you kept everything in order considering the situation. I am so proud of you my son," he said.

"I watched you die in my arms," I said hoping I receive an answer.

My eyes were filled with tears of joy.

"Dad," I said as I shifted back too.

He stood ground and smiled for a while not saying a word, then he shifted into human form too.
