The Wolf Who Saved Me

I waited for Reule to come back. His eyes widened when he saw me sitting on the couch in the living room. I played some games on my phone, but I was obviously looking like I was waiting for him.

“Were you waiting for me?” Reule asked, looking serious, but he was teasing me.

“Yes, I was,” I replied.

Reule’s eyes lit because of what he heard, and he let out a shy smile. He was about to reply, but I interrupted him by saying, “Don’t get too flattered. I did not miss you or anything. I am dying of curiosity in wanting to know what did you find out after meeting with Alpha Henry.”

Reule’s smile disappeared, and he said, “Really, you did not miss me or worried that something might have happened to me?”

I was silent for a second before answering him, “Hmm.. maybe a little worried because there were only two of you going to a pack of wolves. No matter how good you two are, still, you are outnumbered.”

His gorgeous smile came back, and he said, “See, I knew you would. Why do you have to deny it at first?”

I rolled my eyes and said, “Okay, enough of it. Tell me now, what did you find out?”

Reule sat next to me and replied, “Well, I found out that indeed it was true that Henry is going to help Conri. It has not happened because it’s also true that he has not gotten the payment yet. But he denied ordering one of his pack members to trespass on my territory, so I assume that he was unaware that someone from his pack did. It might be one of their rogues that has its own business.”

“But are you sure that he was not lying? I mean, Alpha Henry was already aware that you would visit him, so he would certainly think of the possible reason. He might have practiced all the answers he might have to give for all possible scenarios.”

“Well, not a hundred percent sure. But I could tell that Henry was not lying when he said he had not offered his help with Conri yet. I have to insult him to find out. And I am sure he got pissed that whatever Conri would offer, he will take it.”

“What else did you find out?”

“Of course, I cannot really squeeze the man for more information. He will know that I am already aware of what is going on.”

“So that’s it? Did you go there just for that? But you already know that information. There are not new, so what is the point of going there?”

“I wanted to confirm it directly from Henry. I could not really trust the two people who gave me that tip.”

I sank on the chair, feeling disappointed. I was expecting something more, but I realized that Reule could only do that. I turned and saw Reule looking at me.

“What!?”

“Are you that disappointed?”

“Yeah, I don’t know. I felt like after you went there, I would discover something and get answers to some of my questions.”

Reule looked at me with sadness. His face looked as if he was debating to himself whether to tell me something or not. I could not help but look at him with wonder. And I thought that maybe he knew something, but he was not telling me.

“There is something that I did find something related to you.”

My eyes lit in curiosity, and I turned to face him so I could hear him better. I don’t want to miss any detail of what Reule would tell me.

“You brother..”

My face showed excitement, and hoping to hear good news about him. Killian had never left my mind. I wanted to know where he was and how is he. I have never lost hope that someday I would see him.

“Did you find him? Where is he? Is Killian okay? Can we see him?”

“Wren, I don’t know how to say this, but two people had told me that..”

“That what?”

“Killian is already dead. Conri ordered for him to get beaten to death and castrated if he will not tell them where you are.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

I was speechless at first, then I mumbled, “But he doesn’t. I just ran without direction.” Suddenly, I could not breathe. Those words felt like it suffocated me.

‘No! They were wrong! It can be! Killian is alive! We are meant to see each other someday!’ the voice on my head yelled, but nothing came out of my mouth.

“Wren, are you okay? You looked so pale. Tell me what you feel?”

I did not understand what Reule said. He sounded like he was mumbling, but I could not get any word. I stood because I needed to find Killian. I wanted to save him just like he did.

I ran outside the door straight into the forest. I could hear Reule was after me calling my name and asking me to stop. But I can’t.

I kept running, just like that day when Killian told me to run, and never looked back. But I wished I had stayed with him, and we fought together. I was his sister. It was my responsibility to protect him, and I failed to do that.

Suddenly, I felt like I was running out of air. My heart was beating fast, and my legs felt wobbly again. I stumbled, and I ended up in a kneeling position. I was scared, but I gathered my strength and screamed, “Killian! Aaaaaaah!”

At that moment, I could feel my bones breaking. Something inside of me wanted to come out. In a matter of minutes, I shifted into a full-blown, glowing white wolf. And, I howled so loud that it thundered. Then, rain heavily poured as I went back to my human form.

I was going down without realizing what was happening with me and around me. I saw Reule run towards me, shouting my name as I slowly lost consciousness. I could feel him shaking me before I closed my eyes.

Other pack members came running towards us. Nana Lolita was among them. They were all shocked to see me unconscious and had heard me screaming earlier, but they didn’t know how to help. Some even thought that I was already dead.

“Rolito, what happened? I heard her screaming, and there was a howl after that,” Nana Lolita asked worriedly.

“Call the doctor, Nana. Urgent!” Reule ordered as he lifted me and took me back to the house.
