CHAPTER 2 | Her Strange Aura

Alpha Azraiel Michaelson was attending an important meeting when he received a phone call from his pack. Since his beta Matt knows well enough to not disturb him at such times, he figured something bad had happened. Imagining the worse, the Alpha left the meeting to attend the phone call.

"What?" His low voice shatters the silence in the corridors.

"Sorry to disturb you Alpha. We found a human girl lying unconscious near our north border. She is bitten. We carried her back to the pack and Dr. Humphrey is looking at her." Beta Matt spoke all in one go. He didn't want to anger his Alpha by wasting his time.

There was silence for quite a long time. Azraiel was taken aback by this news. A human...reached near his borders.....alive. How...? This has never happened before. This was a potential security breach. If one human can find their pack lands then so can the others.

"Will she survive? What do you think?" He asked calmly. He was angry alright, but losing his cool right now would get him nowhere. Besides, yelling was not his style.

"I...I don't think she will survive Alpha. She has lost a lot of blood. But....there is something else too Alpha. She...She smells strange."

"Strange...how..?" Azraiel was puzzled.

"She smells stronger than any human I have smelled before. Her aura...it is almost as strong as yours." Matt breathed a quiet sigh after letting it all out.

Azraiel was stunned. A human with an aura almost equal to his, it was nearly impossible. There were only three truebloods remaining in the world. All three of them were unmated and Azraiel was one of them. If she is a human and still has a strong aura...then it could mean only one thing. Azraiel's eyes went wide at the realization of who she could be.

"Matt, listen to me. Increase the security on all the borders. Tell the guards to patrol up to 2 km outside the borders. Stay alert and ask everyone to stay indoors until further notice. We cannot take any risk. We don't know if she came by herself or someone accompanied her here. I am leaving as soon as the meeting ends."

"Yes, Alpha." Matt was relieved. Talking to Alpha definitely made him calmer.

"Now, Let me speak to Kira."

*********

Kira has just finished the phone call with Alpha. He has asked her to keep an eye on the human girl. He didn't want any mishap to happen on the pack land. It would disturb the peace and balance. Following Alpha's orders will not be a problem for her. Even if Alpha hadn't assigned this duty to her, she wouldn't have left the girl alone.

Kira still couldn't shake off what she felt before. It has never happened before. Their Alpha was trueblood and they never got any chance to meet other truebloods. For them, their Alpha's aura was the strongest. However, this human girl's scent and aura had put many questions in her mind.

She spent the next hour making a list of questions in her mind that she would ask the unconscious girl once she wakes up. If she wakes up. Her train of thoughts was interrupted when Dr. Humphrey came out of the room.

"What happened? Will she live?" Kira was anxious.

"I...I haven't seen anything like this before Kira. She has lost a lot of blood but all her organs are working just fine. Her leg looks like it has been chewed by the wolf but her condition is stable. I...I don't know how to say this...but I can feel she is strong. I...I think she will survive." Dr. Humphrey looked perplexed, rightfully so.

A human completing the shift to become a werewolf has never happened before, well at least not in their lifetime. The process of becoming a werewolf was considered the most painful one. It was even more painful for a human to turn into a werewolf since their DNA wasn't designed to be one.

Kira was left breathless. There was a strong chance that this human could complete the shift to become a werewolf. History would be written if that happened. More so, it is supposed to happen in their pack. If the girl survives, then the Blue Orchid pack would become the first pack ever to witness a human shift into a werewolf.

"How much time until she shifts?" Kira asked curiously.

"Around 2 months. Since she is a human, it will take approximately 2 months for the werewolf venom to spread in her body and inter wine with her DNA." Dr. Humphrey answered.

Kira spent the entire night outside the human's room in the medical wing. She still couldn't believe it. There was something very very strange going on. Although this girl was a stranger to her, she felt at ease being outside her room. It was like Kira had known her for a long time, but didn't realize it before. There was a calmness in the medical wing despite being a stranger present on the pack lands that too in the absence of their Alpha.

Werewolves are secretive and ferocious creatures. The Alpha of the pack is supposed to care for the wolves. The wolves feel calmer around their Alpha. He provides a sense of security and belongingness to the werewolves. Without an Alpha, the pack is more prone to risk. The werewolves get tensed and antsy in the absence of the Alpha for too long.

Hence it was strange that a human was lying unconscious in their pack and yet there was this strange serene calmness around. It was as if the Alpha never left as if he was still here on the pack lands.

Kira didn't realize when the sun came up. The night felt nothing more than an hour or two when she was so lost in her thoughts. It was 6 in the morning. The Alpha would be here anytime soon.

Kira hadn't slept all night but she didn't feel tired either. She stood on her feet and started roaming in the corridor again. At some point, she came to a stop in front of the door of human's room. Kira could see her lying on the bed from the small glass panel on the door. The human sent Kira's mind to the land of questions once again.

Just who the hell are you?

While Kira was busy wondering about the stranger, someone was relishing in the events that were unfolding in the Blue Orchid Pack. Someone dangerous has been waiting for a long time. It was now his time to make his presence known to this world.
