HE CAME

He heard her, he was sure of it, how she did was what he wasn't so sure about. He couldn't wrap his head around the fact that they could mind link despite rejection and that was why he was going to meet her, he lied to himself seamlessly.

Finding her wasn't stressful, cause her scent seemed to be engraved into his brain cells subconsciously and he knew it was Roshan's doing (His wolf). He followed the scent till it was mixed with blood and what not.

On seeing Penelope, he lost it, she was chomped on by four wolves, three were dead, maybe this four killed them so the competition for food won't be high.

Lucian released a ferocious growl and lunged at the one that was stomping on her belly, like what the fuck, don't they respect women, he thought with a huff and felt an eye roll from Roshan as if pointing out his flaws. And in that manner he killed all the rogues ruthlessly but time wasn't much in his favor as he only managed to catch her head before it hit the cold, now muddy with blood floor, he let out a growl. For her eyes has already slide shut by the time he reached her.

Then the feeling came, it was ......he couldn't point it out but the feeling was similar to when he saw his parents died in front of him. He quietly walked towards his pack then he felt her..., she took a breathe. How can she be alive with all the wounds on her body, her legs were badly bitten off that you could see her bones as well as some parts of her body. But with the sudden improvement he rushed to the pack.

On reaching the pack, he rushed into the packs infirmary not caring how the people there looked at him, he rushed to a doctor he's been looking for.

" John, bring a stretcher and NOW" he's voice thundered.

" Oh, Alpha Lucian, it's nice..."

" I said bring a fucking stretcher now or I'll make you look worse than her"

" Yes sir, bring a stretcher now, prepare the ER we have an operation to handle and a lot of stitches to finish and while you're at it bring some clothes for the Alpha.

On receiving a deadly glare from Lucian, he decided against the last order.

" Forget about the extra clothes and ohh!, is she injured " He exclaimed as Lucian placed Penelope on the stretcher.

" So what happened?" John asked absent mindedly as he was inspecting her body but he heard a low growl from Lucian and decided to shut it.

" We'll notify you, that's if there is hope for this case " he said as he began to push her into a room.

" There's hope John, she's breathing" he said with a tone of finality.

" Oh, yeah sure she is, but no one knows when she's gonna stop" he grinned mischievously.

" John, you better......"

" Oh calm down, I was kidding, she's gonna be alright.

3 HOURS LATER

John came out and met a rather panicked looking Lucian, he was quietly pacing up and down the hallway.

" Alpha Lucian" he made his presence known

" John, how did it go, how is she?" he asked calmly

" Well... you sound calmer than you look" he teased him

" She's alright but......." He calmly said while staring at Lucian

" What?" Lucian snapped at him

" Who is this she-wolf that you care about so much" he asked whole arching an eyebrow. Lucian was taken aback by the question.

" Just a weak Omega that tried to escape and was almost killed by rogues" he lied through his teeth.

" Oh, what a poor dumpling, she must have been through a lot " John said almost dramatically.

" So what's the but?" he raised on eyebrow up

" I don't know how to explain this but come see for yourself"

They both walked into her ward and there she was lying on the bed like a porcelain doll, her face was pale, her lips chapped and dry. Many machines that stabilized her breathing were beeping. Her black hair was so ruffled but still complimented her pale face.

Lucian stood next to her while looking at her wounds when he saw something odd.

" Her ...... she's healing" he stated bewildered

" And fast" John concurred

" With the way she was injured, she's supposed to start healing by tomorrow but now all the scratches on her face were gone and the chomps of flesh that were bitten off were healing" he continued

" And mind you Lucian, I've seen many wolves heal fast but this one here is completely out of imagination, so I suggest that once she wakes up, you ask her questions, what do you say, Alpha?

" Keep your suggestions to yourself" he replied coldly.

" She wanted to leave , so when she wakes up, I will show her the way out myself" a glint passed his eyes

" Than to let her go, don't you think it's best if we know how she can heal fast, it will be a great asset for our warriors" John pushed on.

" That's a good point, but...." he squinted his face as he knows he does not like her, but using her as a lab rat?, no, that's inhumane.

" But what, Alpha?" He peered into Lucian's face.

" I'll think about it" he has made his final decision already, there's no way she can stay in this pack.

" Very well then, I'll see you to the door cause I think it's high time you took a bath" he grins slyly while Lucian frowns subtly.

" You know if it weren't for the fact that you're a childhood friend, I would have torn your throat apart years aback" he glared at him.

" Well, what can i say, what are friends for?" he let out a delightful chuckle.

Meanwhile behind them, Penelope's fingers moved a bit as if trying to tell them something.
