She's my mate

Brendon’s POV

She is quite active in nature, but she has developed an instinct to get scared easily due to all those tortures. My eyes flickered at her first glimpse.

Her body trembled whenever she questioned, and her jeweled blue eyes avoided every possible eye contact with me. I sat there on the chair, watching her sleep comfortably.

“I wish I had come earlier for your aid, Eva,” I sighed.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

“Who’s there?”

“It’s Beta Logan.”

“Oh, come inside without making any sound,” I said.

Logan tiptoed inside the room, slowly closing the door. “Alpha, reports about this girl...”

“EVA.” I interrupted him in the middle because he was calling Eva this girl.

“So you know her name too,” Logan commented, suppressing his giggle. Like I would never notice he’s laughing at me because I was giving attention to a girl for decades. I gave him a quick glance enough to alert him. Logan’s funny expression turned into a serious one as he started reading the report files.

“From the reports of last night’s raid, I found out that Eva was the main source of income for the blood traders,” he said and turned the file pages.

“Her blood was drained out weekly by blood traders, an operation manned by various magical beings for vampires.”

“I see! What about other victims?” I asked.

“They were used as slaves for no blood trading purpose.”

It’s strange, no matter how one sees it. Other victims were only used as slaves, but Eva was the only one whose blood was traded. “Did you find out who started this business?”

Logan flipped the pages of the report and answered, “The illegal blood trading business was run by a group of rogue packs that were backed up by NOX.”

“NOX again?!” I raised my hand to punch the wall but paused, remembering Eva was sleeping. My blood boiled when I heard about NOX. The underground vampire lord, NOX, has been supporting this illegal blood and slave trading business.

Till now, five cases have found NOX guilty. The situation is that he’s a Mafia Boss hiding behind the veil of billionaire businessman Alberto del Rio.

“We can’t simply hand Alberto to the police force because he never revealed his identity as NOX. All the traders we have captured till now admitted that they never saw the face of NOX,” Logan informed.

“I’ll catch him later, but first, tell me what the doctor said about Eva. How long will it take for her wounds to heal.”

Logan hesitated first, then replied,” She is likely to recover. However, there’s bad news.”

“What bad news?” I asked instantly.

“Eva is recovering slower than normal even though her blood work comes back to show she’s a werewolf. Likely, she’s no longer in touch with her wolf, which is worrying,” Logan reported.

“She’s a werewolf but has no contact with her wolf side. Is that why I sensed that strong attraction from her in the prison?” I murmured, stroking my chin in deep thought.

When I first saw her in the prison, my wolf side almost roared in joy. That strong bonding of fate between us pulled me close to her. I thought it was just attraction, but she’s my fated mate.

“What happened, Alpha? Is she someone you know?” Logan eagerly questioned, his eyebrows frowned upon the sight of Eva sleeping carelessly.

I got up from my seat, walked towards Eva’s bed, gently caressed her forehead, and said, ”She’s my Mate.”

“What? She’s an omega werewolf.”

“Yes, so?” I glanced at Logan in displeasure.

“The pack’s elders will never approve of you having weak Luna.”

“Logan, the elders have nothing to say on this. The command of the pack is in my hand,” I said authoritatively.

Logan lowered his face knowing that he had crossed his lines. However, what he was saying was true. The elders will never approve of Eva becoming the Luna of the Blood Moon Pack. If I introduce her now that she’s my mate, they will try every possible way to hurt her.

“Which I can never let happen!” I sighed in frustration. I looked at Logan, placing my hand on his right shoulder, as I said,” keep this secret. I don’t want anyone to find out that Eva is my mate, not even Eva herself.”

He raised his face and gave me an emotional look, indirectly asking why I was doing this. After all, I had waited for my mate all these years. Some even told me I didn’t have a mate and said to get married to high-ranking female werewolf from the pack.

“Logan, don’t give me that look. I don’t want Eva’s life in danger after all she has gone through. This is a request of Alpha to his Beta...”

“I’ll take this secret to my deathbed. You don’t have to worry,” he promised and asked,” about the other victims?”

“Provide them a new identity, and get them in our pack as new trainees. If they want to be independent, provide them a house far from this city.”

“About the funds?” Logan bugged me again.

“Stinky brat, use the company’s funds. The thousands of dollars will do nothing to my billion-dollar worth company.”

I smirked, feeling proud of being a billionaire CEO.

“Oh, our CEO is so rich.” Logan dropped a sarcastic compliment.

“You brat, come here.” Before I could grab his collar, he had already disappeared from the room.

I pulled my sleeves down, buttoning the cuffs.

I should get going; otherwise, I’ll be late for a meeting. I looked back at Eva before leaving. “She will be safe here since this hospital is under my authority.”

I carefully closed the door and walked towards the canteen to get myself something to eat first.
