Saving Her

Devi’s POV

“What are you doing this?” I questioned looking at him with wide eyes as he pulled the syringe ready to inject it in me. Though the bottle does not expose what is inside it, I can still figure it out due to the smell. The fear and eagerness to just free my hands. Already, Willow is so weak, and upon that again a dosage would just make her situation worst. “Are you mad?” I yelled as he came to me and smirked looking at me.

The jerk was enjoying seeing my condition, “Ahh, it’s so good seeing you like this.” I had before thought that just behaving calmly would get me some time until Adrian and Marcus arrive but instead it is happening completely opposite. The situation just got worsen, I think. “What? Did you really think I would trust you? I very well know that now, or just not long after your pack members will arrive and you are just making time until then.”

Hearing him, I felt dumb enough to even think that he could not guess about my pretention. Though seeing him holding up the syringe and taking my arm in his hand made me shiver with fear but not anymore I can’t let him see my weak self. “Of course, you are an expert in pretending so, it must be easy for you.” If provoking would help me then I am definitely not going to back off.

Clenching his jaw, he took my chin between his thumb and finger making me wince, “Just as expected for the former luna to be. You know this is it when it is much more exciting, otherwise to tame a weak who accepted her loss is just so boring.”

I scoffed at his words, “Saying the one who out of fear already has wolfsbane injected inside me. You are worst than even a scared puppy.”

“How dare you?” His grip tightened on my chin as he got agitated. We, our kind do not even a bit like to be compared to or called a puppy, and it is just the easiest way to trigger any werewolf. But, I did not pay attention to its consequence which I actually was stopping him from, and regretted when he without any mercy injected the needle in my arm. “Puppies, are innocent. Poor they, don’t understand anything and do mistakes.”

Not even seconds later, my vision got blurred making me feel numb. I was not able to feel anything around me, not even his hard grip on my arm. “Perfect,” He snickered and, “You don’t even know what you are, but I know and I am going to make sure for it not to go waste.” He murmured and laughed evilly letting go of my arm and calling for his men. “Louis…” Seconds passed but no one responded making him pissed, “What the hell?” He murmured and walked towards the door giving a careful look.

“Are you all deaf? Why is no one responding…” He paused and silence took place making me confused with the thought of what he was up to next. But, due to feeling weak and my blurred vision I am not able to even see anything. “Where the hell everyone is fucking up?” I flinched as his voice rang out in the corridor and echoed back.

“Alpha.” Voice came urgently as the response.

“What is going on? Why is no one here in the position?”

Just such a cruel alpha, his way of talking is enough to answer how he takes care of the pack. “Alpha, someone attacked the pack and I went down to see what the ruckus is all about, therefore…”

“Why have I am not informed about it yet?” He questioned but did not wait for the answer as he continued. “Just stay here and keep your eyes on her. If something happens here, then be ready to face the consequence. And, you better not try something in my absence or else others will have to take the punishment instead of you.”

Adrian’s POV

“Alpha, our members already got into work. We should be quick, I don’t think they can handle it without any bleeding for long.” Marcus said as we get inside the house, “Luna, I mean Devi must be waiting for us. Don’t know what the motherfucker have made her go through, I am already scared.”

“I will distract the guards for you, while you just have to take her away. Definitely, she must not be in great condition.” I said knowing well enough, he might get himself in trouble with all his thoughts and mind being distracted by Devika. So, I thought of letting him be with his luna would be helpful for every one of us. 

But, being the former beta of this pack, the emotions were clearly taking place in him. But still, he was attentive enough to his surrounding, “Alpha, I think you should go to Devi while I will manage the guards if there will be any. I know the way to outside the pack well, you might get lost.”

I chuckled hearing him after which he again continued, “And, Joseph should not know that you are here, or else he would go against you and take you as his enemy. It will get personal whereas it is due to us. He might then target the whole pack which neither Devi nor I will like, so better would e for you to go to her.”

“Are you trying to tell me what I should do?” He questioned feeling him being again nervous but this time not only for Devika but also for me. He instantly stopped on his track and turned towards me, “What? Were not you?”

He sighed, “Alpha, how can you even attempt joking in such a situation? You already know how tense I am, and you for the first time came here therefore, I asked you to go for Devi. Until you escape here with her, I would keep the guards and others distracted.” Seeing the desperation in his eyes, I nodded as talking while standing in the middle of the hall is not only risky but also trouble for the warriors fighting outside just to be a distraction.

“Let’s go and make it quick,” I said and we straight walked out to the cell somehow managing to escape the guard with the help of our warriors whom Samuel sent knowing well enough we would need them. And, not to our disappointment Devika really was kept in the corner cell. And, no doubt for the first time I saw her in the weakest of her form ever.

“Luna, luna,” Marcus ran to her in a matter of seconds, “Luna, please… please open your eyes.” Tapping her cheeks and shaking her shoulders he tried to wake her up.

“Here.” Getting the water kept out of the cells for the guards, I gave it to him taking which he sprinkled on her face. But, even if she would wake up I don’t think her situation would in any case be good. Seeing the paleness on her paleness I got sure that it is not a simple matter of her being unconscious. It is something more urgent, here. “Marcus, we should not waste time on this. We should just get going before anyone comes or her situation worsens.”

Sniffing and rubbing his nose, he got untying her hands. “Alpha, I’m sorry but I think you will have to carry her.” I raised my brow at his words but then the situation definitely asked for it as he actually said. “I would have done that but as we decided, I will go ahead of you both to see if the path is clear.” I will have to say since Devika and her pack came into our pack, they have managed to make a place for themselves not only in the pack but also in pack members’ hearts.

Especially Devika, even in her life’s tragic moments she managed to make a place for her members along with herself. And, not only pack members’ hearts but also all the high-rank elders who do not allow some outsider to get into our pack easily. The respect she gained in the last few months is really appreciable but amid all these, her loneliness went unnoticed.

If I am asked to give an example of a true luna, I would take her name. Even after losing her position, this woman did not lose her responsibility. Her mate must really be proud of her, “Alpha, you should leave. The path is clear,” I nodded, instantly walking towards the packhouse but was not lucky enough to get away easily.

One of the guards was out of nowhere upon us and was tackled by Marcus making me growl. “Alpha, please leave here. I will follow you in a matter of seconds, please.”

“We should have known that you must be here, not finding you with the rest of your people. Of course, the beta loyal beta will come here to save his luna.” Even having his neck gripped in Marcus’s arm, the guard laughed as if he made a joke. “After all, both are mateless now, must be fulfilling each other in replacement.”

“HOW DARE YOU?” Marcus whisper yelled at him and not even taking a second longer just snapped his neck separate from his body. “Bloody motherfucker.” Cursing him he kicked the head like a football while breathing heavily. It is good that Devika is unconscious or else she might have felt so humiliated.

Seeing him breathing heavily with anger, I had no choice but to take him along with us. He gets himself in trouble and everyone knows him which would automatically attract trouble. “Marcus, come on. Let’s go, we have to get out of here.”

But, his wolf took over him as he replied, “No, Alpha. I have to go, I have to take revenge upon my Alpha’s killer. Coming till here, I cannot leave just like that.”

“What are you even saying? Do you even realize that it’s not the right time? Why the heck did we came up with all of this plan when we could have attacked directly?” I am so done with this guy, just opposite of Devika.

“Alpha, please you should leave. Her life is precious, she needs to survive not to like me. Even if I die, I don’t care. I will be happy as I will die in an attempt of taking revenge for my alpha, it is better than just living a helpless life.”

“Are you sick? Didn’t you just save your Alpha’s mate, didn’t you help your luna and pack members to survive until you all gained help from us?” I don’t even know why was I doing such a thing in such a situation. Just using an Alpha tone would have been enough but it did not seem to matter to him at that time. Therefore, I was trying to be caring and soft with him, after getting Devika to the doctor, I handle him my way.

Not even Samuel dared to cross my words in so many years, and here he was just… “Alpha, you should leave. Someone is coming again, just go.”

Before I could have tried to stop him, he just vanished in the air making me put effort to control Hunter from taking over. “Let’s go, for now, we will give him a lesson if he comes back alive. It is not our fault that he himself had an interest in putting his hand inside the mouth of death.” Even after knowing how strong Joseph is, he took a silly step which I very well know Devika would have also disliked. With the thought of getting her out of there more important, I sprinted out of the pack as he body started getting cold which I know well enough is an alarm to get her to the clinic.
