KHALID’S POV.

I looked at Megan who had fainted and smiled bitterly. Looking back at the vampire who was the cause of this my eyes turned red from anger.

He was successful in provoking me so I wasn't going to let him go so easily.

I was already too late as he had sucked Magna's blood before I arrived.

It was all my fault. If I hadn't treated her so badly which forced her to run out of my office this wouldn't haven't seen happen.

If only I was a bit nicer to her, then she would have fallen prey to this vampire.

I could only blame myself for what had happened. I had forgotten that it was going to be a full moon tonight.

It wasn't until I looked outside through the window at the office that I realized.

Then, searched around the office only to notice that Megan was gone.

It was then I remembered she had run out.

I had no choice but to follow her scent which led me to this place.

The vampire who had kidnapped Megan was quite skilled and had almost erased her scent.

I sighed and forcefully pushed away these thoughts, since it was my fault in the first place I could only try to rectify my mistake.

Looking up, I saw the vampire trying to go back to sucking Magna's blood.

"How dare he?!!" I muttered angrily under my breath and appeared before him.

I grabbed him and flung him away.

"Huh!!"

I heard him grunt but that wasn't all, I was going to make him miserable for what he had done.

Before he could react, I appeared before him, grabbing him by the neck and flung him away once again.

Before he could land, I appeared before him and punched his stomach which sent him flying even further.

"Gruu!!!"

He coughed out blood immediately after he hit one of the trees in the surrounding area.

"Don't worry I'll be back!!" He yelled standing up and disappearing before I could do anything.

I was sure he knew it was unwise to fight me at the moment so just let him be as he was just a punny vampire who did not affect me.

I walked back to Megan who was unconscious. From the tranquil look on her face, I would have thought that she was dead if not for the gentle beating of her heart.

Carrying her in a bridal style, I disappeared.

I had to take her back for treatment or else she might not survive it. She was bitten by a vampire.

-----

"Get the Physician!!" I yelled at the maids bowing to me.

"Yes, Alpha!" They bowed nervously and hurried to get the Physician.

I had hurried back to the pack and the sight of the maids bowing to me irked me as they couldn't read the atmosphere.

For heaven's sake, this wasn't the time for their respects. I didn't need it.

I dashed forward to my chamber and placed Meagan on the bed. Her face had already become pale and I could feel her body going cold.

"Where the hell is he?"I cursed under my breath, pacing around the room anxiously.

"What the hell is taking him so long?!!"

I was feeling impatient as each second passed by as I could feel Megan's life force weakening with each second.

Her face was becoming paler and her body was becoming even colder.

It wouldn't be long before She crosses the bridge between life and death.

Suddenly the door of my chamber opened. An old man with wrinkles on his face rushed into the room.

Behind him were some maids in white attire. I could care less about what they were wearing. All I needed was for them to pull Megan out of death's jaws.

"Please, excuse us, Alpha." The old man with wrinkles smiled bowing at me.

I frowned looking at him and wanted to say something, but in the end, I didn't say anything and just walked out of the room.

I was placing all my trust in him to bring Megan back to life. She couldn't die just yet.

It was all my fault this had happened. If only I was a bit nicer to her then she wouldn't have fallen prey to those vampires.

Well, it wasn't completely my fault as I was just trying to protect myself.

Even though I had always pretended not to be attracted to her, in truth, I was always fantasizing about her.

But then, I had to keep her at arm's length to protect her. My ice-cold face had always been to make her stop all her advances.

But who would have thought that it wasn't going to make her stop but even increase, I had no choice but to start treating her badly, saying harsh words to her and making her work overtime.

But all these didn't stop her from trying to approach me. Instead, it seems like I had paved the way for her.

I had to suppress my urges when I was with her as nothing ever lasted with me.

She was going to die once I decided to make her mine, to prevent an innocent soul from dying I had to put a stop to her advances.

But who would have thought it would lead to what I was the most scared of?

I had been attracted to her ever since I set my eyes on her, but to prevent what was happening I stayed away from her.

But then it seems like the moon goddess wasn't going to let me off easily and still was going to cause her to die.

I couldn't bear to see her die, at this moment, I realized how much of a fool I was.

I should have already accepted her in the first place. But then I didn't know the future.

If I had known this was going to happen, I wouldn't have rejected her and maybe this wouldn't have happened.

She had to survive, she couldn't give in to the allure of death no matter what.

I paced in front of the chamber waiting for the physician to come out.

It had been over two hours and he was yet to come out. I wondered what the hell he was doing.

At the moment I hated myself more than anything else. I just had to make sure she didn't die as I would be killing another innocent soul.

Since the beginning of time, all those I had tried to love ended up dying and their numbers were in no way small.

Suddenly, the door of my chamber opened and the physician came out sweating.

His assistants were helping him wipe away his sweat. I frowned and walked towards him hurriedly.

"How's it?"

"Sigh!!"

The physician sighed as he looked at me

What the hell, I hope what he wanted to say wasn't going to be bad news.

"I'm sorry Alpha, but she's not responding to any of the treatment given to her."

My eyes opened wide in shock and I looked at the physician.

What the hell is he saying? What did he mean by she wasn't responding to any treatment?

I rushed into the chamber to have a look at Megan only to see that her face had become even paler and her body was even colder.

What the hell was happening? How did the situation become like this?

Something must have happened, she was bitten by a vampire who I was sure had no high rank and yet it had caused such an adverse reaction.

Something was wrong. I turned around to look at the physician who was standing behind me.

He had sent his assistants away and had closed the door of the chamber.

It seems like he wanted to tell me something he felt others couldn't hear.

"What do you think is wrong?" I sighed looking at the unconscious Megan whose face was getting paler by the second.

"I'm not sure, but I don't think she's a human." The physician replied, staring at Megan.

I didn’t even listen to him as my mind was just clouded with the thoughts of her waking up.

"Is there any possible way to make her wake up?"

"Yeah!"

*What's it?"

"Mate with her!!"

"Huh..." I paused, seemingly not to have heard the last sentence well, "what did you just say?"

"Mate with her and she'll wake up."

I glanced at the old physician hoping for him to say he was joking, but the serious look on his face made me know otherwise.

"Any other method?"

"No!"

"Is that the only way?"

"Yes!!!"

"What if I refuse?" I frowned looking at the physician.

"It's your choice." The physician sighed, "But I must say this, she'll die and you'll lose your chance to have a mate and also heal the strange sickness disturbing the pack."

I froze when I heard the physician's words. Just like I had expected, he had already noticed she was my mate even though I had known all along.

I was just afraid of her death and was sure those damned elders wouldn't be in support of bringing back a human.

But hearing what the physician said made me understand that I was wrong all along.

"It's up to you to decide my Alpha. I'll be taking my leave." The physician bowed and retreated leaving me dumbfounded.
