The Wolf Who Saved Me

Nana Lolita took the initiative to introduce me to almost every lady in the pack. But except Lila, who did not like to be bothered while she was in a corner using her phone.

“What do you usually do during the evening run?” I asked.

“Well, Alpha Reule leads the run, and he split the group into two. He gave directions where each group went, and we had to thoroughly check the entire forest and the area near where we lived for threats or anything unusual. Then we go back here and discuss what we have found. We have to tell the alpha anything, even something stupid, as long as it makes us doubt. For Reule, this is how we can protect each other from any threat and prepare for any enemy,” Adriana explained.

“Has it happened that indeed you found something unusual?”

“Yes. It was during this time that humans had heard rumors about us. We have found some hunters in the forest, possibly thinking of catching one of us.”

“Were they successful?”

“No. Alpha Reule stopped the run and asked us to lay low. He assigned two or three men to monitor the hunters during the night when they were almost asleep. They just left on their own after two weeks of not finding anything except wolves, the animal.”

“That was such a relief. So later, you will be having dinner together in front of the bonfire?”

“Yes, that is what we do. Sometimes the old ones tell stories, too.”

“Alpha Reule is always here all the time?” That question suddenly slipped on my tongue.

“No. Reule owns a business, but he does control his time. At a young age, he had started to learn how the company goes, and his uncle Rainer had taught him everything when he reached of age.”

“I did not get to meet his uncle. Where is he?”

“Sadly, Rainer passed away a year ago. He died because of old age,” Nana Lolita said sadly.

“Our Alpha has no other bloodline left. His family is just me, Nana, and the entire pack. That is why he takes the well-being of every one of us seriously. Nana and I wished for him to find his mate so he could have an heir and for him to smile more often,” Adriana added.

“I thought he was always cold and rarely smiled ever since he was a kid.”

“Yes. But it had gotten worse when my Rolito’s parents died. That is when he started playing with the ladies who chased him. Even though we are here for him, my Rolito is understandably lonely. I think finding his mate would bring joy to him,” Nana Lolita said honestly.

“But Nana, I think Alpha Reule has already found someone,” Adriana said with a smile.

I smiled back and said, “Oh, then it’s good.”

“Yes, I am so happy that he brought you here, Wren!” Adriana smiled and clapped her hands.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

My eyes widened, and I was tongue-tied for a second. “What do you mean by that?” I asked.

Nana Lolita took my hands and said, “When you arrived, Rolito was carrying you in his arms. He immediately announced that you were a new member of the pack. Even though he said that he still has not decided whether to turn you into an enslaved person or his mate, I have seen the way he looks at you. I am sure, Rolito felt something for you. He wanted you to be his mate.”

I could not digest what Nana said. In my mind, yes, Reule had felt something for me. He was lusting over me, and that is all. He wanted me to be his mate so he could use me.

“That is also what I feel,” Adriana said in agreement with Nana Lolita.

“I–I don’t think so.”

“Of course, my dear child, you still don’t know him. But don’t worry, you will,” Nana Lolita said with a reassuring smile that knowing him will be worthwhile.

I wanted to scream that I didn’t want to get to know the man who saved me but wanted my body. I don’t think it’s worth it.

“But what about Lila? I am sure she loves Reule. And she is a member of the pack, wouldn’t she the best candidate to be his mate?” I wanted to add that they are fucking each other, too, but maybe they don’t know that.

“Oh, everyone knows that she likes him. But my Rolito and the rest of the pack think she is not the right one for him. Lila is too aggressive and flirty.”

What Lila is the one aggressive!? I thought of both of them! My head is full of things that maybe I can’t control later, and it would just slip in my mouth. I have to change the subject. I don’t want to be rude to these kind-hearted people because they knew Reule in the wrong way.

I was about to say something but saw that the men had started to come back from the run. So, I was able to shift the conversation to their arrival.

“They have arrived,” I said.

Both Nana Lolita and Adriana turned their head and looked in the direction where the men were. The other ladies gave each of them some towels because they were all in sweat. And some bottles of water as sure they have gotten thirsty during the run.

Oh, it was such a beautiful sight! A group of hunk men is standing in front of me. I cannot help but think like that. How come I can’t seem to feel like this on the males of my pack? Maybe I hated them for how they treated me, and they didn’t have gorgeous bodies like these men.

While I was busy with my thoughts, I suddenly felt a hot stare from someone. It brought me back to my senses, and I caught Reule looking at me. He must have wondered what crazy thoughts were on my mind to look at them like that. So, I avoided his stare by trying to have a conversation with Adriana.
