Remember Me

Alex’s POV

I don't know how long we kept staring at each other until I felt something wet in my hand. I looked at my hand, and there was blood. My eyes went to her stomach. Her dress had turned red because of the blood. I looked at her whole body, blood oozing out of all her injuries. I was dumbstruck, seeing her condition.

Oh, God... What is happening to her? I thought and immediately called the doctor.

My eyes went to her. There was no expression on her face. Only her eyes were open, but she was lying like a corpse.

A lady doctor came inside and checked her pulse. I came out of the room so that the doctor could treat her.

"Take care of Sana until I come. Make sure no one can meet her until I allow it," I mind-linked my beta, Max.

"Okay, Alpha."

I immediately morphed into a wolf and went towards Ella's cottage because I knew only she could help me in this situation.

Ella, the powerful witch, lived in a cottage situated in the middle of the forest. I stopped outside the cottage and went behind it. I dug out my bag from the ground, then imagined my human form and turned into a human. I took out my clothes from the bag and wore them.

"I knew that you would come," Ella said as soon as I entered the cottage.

I rolled my eyes and sat down on the sofa. She looked at me from head to toe.

"But I'm dismayed that you're fully clothed." She turned her face to the other side, searching for something in her wardrobe.

"Don't flirt with me, Ella. I know your intentions. That's why I prepared myself before entering the cottage," I scoffed.

"Really?" She giggled.

"What's happening to her?" I asked directly, coming to the point.

She closed the wardrobe and looked at me.

"Nothing, just her body showing a reaction to what was injected into her blood."

"What do you mean?"

"Why should I tell you?" she smirked.

I sighed. I knew that she would never help someone unless she benefited from it.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I told you she would destroy you." She laughed and came near me. "I just want to have fun with you... a one-night stand," she muttered.

Dominic growled at her confession, which was enough for her to realise her position. She moved back in fear.

"You know that cannot happen," I said, calming my wolf.

"I'm sorry, Alpha," she said, bowing her head.

"You have to promise me that you won't hurt me after knowing the whole truth."

I raised my eyebrow at her condition.

"So you're involved in this?"

"Yes... There was no point in lying. Somewhere, the reason behind her condition is me," she said, and it was enough for my wolf to lose control over his anger.

Dominic took control of my body, grabbed Ella by the neck, and lifted her into the air. He tightened his grip, ready to kill her, but somehow, I took control of my body again and released Ella.

She fell to the ground, breathing heavily as she struggled to recover. I'm sure Dominic had shown her his death face.

"You almost died because I couldn't take control of my body back from Dominic," I frowned, looking at Ella, who started laughing.

"You can't kill me because you know that I'm the only one who can help you in this situation. Only I know how she can survive. If you kill me, she won't live much longer. She will also die slowly and painfully." She started laughing.

Why didn't you let me kill her? Dominic growled in my mind.

Haven't you heard that she's the only one who knows how to treat Sana? If she dies, we'll lose our last hope of saving our mate. Even I want to kill her, but try to understand the situation.

I looked at Ella, and she immediately stopped laughing and gulped.

"I will tell you what happened to her, but you have to give me your word that you won't kill me."

"Fine, I agree."

"Andrew came to me and asked me to make an injection that would act like wolfsbane but with some amount of silver added to it. It would kill her wolf slowly and painfully. Not only that, but if Sana stopped taking that injection, she would also die slowly like her wolf. Even if she somehow managed to survive, she would live like nothing but a corpse. Now, when I examine her condition through magic, I can say that her wolf is dying inside her body, and her brain is also not functioning properly. Simply put, soon she will lose her wolf, and then, after some time, you will lose her forever."

I clenched my fists to control my urge to kill her. I breathed in and out and closed my eyes.

"You bitch!"

I moved towards her, but she moved back in fear.

"Now tell me the cure before I lose all control and kill you."

"You can't kill me because you gave me your Alpha's word," she grinned.

I couldn't believe this. She still had the guts to mess with me.

"I can give you your favourite dish... fresh blood," I smirked, knowing her weakness.

"What can I say now, when you've already caught my weakness?" she winked.

Then she started uttering some magic words. She took a water bottle from the fridge and blew on it.

"On the night of the full moon, your wolf's power is at its highest. We all know Dominic is a blessed wolf who is not affected by either silver or wolfsbane. That day, you marked Sana as your mate. In this way, your wolf can cure Sana's wolf and Sana with his power. But in this whole process, your wolf will also get weakened and may fall into a deep slumber for a while. Maya will be able to appear only after Dominic recovers."

I'm ready, Dominic muttered.

That's easy for you to say, I mocked.

"But there is a problem. There are still three days until the full moon, and until then, you have to keep her alive," Ella said.

"But how? I mean, look at her condition. She's bleeding."

"I know. Keep this." She extended the water bottle towards me.

I took it from her hand and looked at her in confusion.

"This will keep her alive and also control the effect of the injection on her body, but only until the night of the full moon. Take care of her until then, and make sure to mark her on time before it's too late," she said.

I looked at her and then smirked. I started chanting some mantras that her mother had taught me.

"What are you doing?" she asked in confusion.

Soon, she got her answer when she fell to the ground because of weakness.

"Your mom told me that if you went out of control, I should chant this mantra. It will take away your power for some time, and this is a good punishment for you for bringing yourself to this point."

"You fucking asshole... How can you do this?" she scowled.

"Considering what you've done to Sana, I've given you a very light punishment because you gave me a cure. Now don't mess with me, because I won't think twice before taking your power away forever. And as for your second condition, I'll fulfil it when she has recovered," I grinned and went outside the cottage.

I morphed into a wolf again and went towards my villa.

"Moon Goddess!" A gasp escaped my mouth as soon as I entered my room.

Her whole body was covered with bandages, but her bleeding still wasn't stopping. Not to mention, my whole bedsheet had turned red because of her blood.

"Max, bring some fresh meat as soon as possible," I said to my beta, Max, and sat beside Sana.

I made her drink some water from the bottle Ella had given me. After a while, her bleeding stopped, and she gasped.

"Aah!" she shrieked because of the pain.

I immediately took her in my arms.

"It's okay, baby... This pain will go away soon. I'm here with you. Trust me, everything will be fine," I cooed to her, but she was still crying because of the pain.

After a while, Max knocked on the door with a packet of fresh meat. I'm sure he had brought it after hunting for a long time.

Sana buried herself in my arms when she saw Max, out of fear. I'm sure she wasn't in her senses because of the pain. That's why she was letting me come close to her. Otherwise, after everything that had happened to her, she wouldn't trust anyone, including me.

Don't talk rubbish... She can't distance herself from us, Dominic frowned.

I didn't reply to him and extended my hand towards Max. He came to me, handed me the packet of meat, and left.

I served the meat on a plate and brought it towards her. She looked at me with fearful eyes.

"You've lost so much blood, my baby girl. This will give you some energy, and the pain will end soon," I said, to which she nodded.

I wiped her tears and made her eat it. At first, she refused after taking a few bites, but then I had to make her eat with a little force, as it was necessary for her.

After a while, she closed her eyes and rested her head on my chest.

"Why are you doing this? What is your motive?" she mumbled in a low tone. Thanks to my hearing power, I could hear her clearly.

"Because you're my everything." I kissed her hair.

She opened her eyes and looked at me. Her eyes changed to yellow, which indicated that her wolf, Maya, was coming to the surface.

"Maya?"

"I'm dying slowly and gradually. That's why I can't cure her. I know that after so much effort, I'm able to come to the surface. Wolfsbane and silver in my body have injured me badly. Please save her... She has faced a lot, and I know only you can give her the love she wants. And Dominic... I know you remember me, but I'm sorry. This time, I'm leaving you alone again. I'm sorry," she said before closing her eyes, leaving me in shock.

"Maya!" I called out her name, but she didn't respond.

I carefully laid her on the bed and called out to my loyal maid to change her clothes and then the bedsheets.

I left the room and went to my study.

"Why did she say, 'She knows you remember her'? Do you really know her?" I asked Dominic, but he didn't answer.

This arrogant jerk never missed a chance to annoy me...
