Semua Bab Alpha, I Won’t Let You Banish Me Again: Bab 31 - Bab 40

When the nurse came out of the double doors and told me that Mateo was a match, it felt like a big burden was lifted from my shoulders, and that I could finally breathe. I also realized that once again, Mateo saved us. Still, it was too early to celebrate. Lylia still has a long way to go before she is finally cured. But I am still glad that we were able to overcome one of the hurdles. It took almost six hours before the transfusion was done. They observed Lylia’s state for another hour before allowing her to be moved. The doctor said that the next few hours are still crucial as we wait for Mateo’s blood to take effect, especially the healing parts of it. As I took the seat on the empty chair beside Lylia’s bed, I finally understood what most of the mothers I met at the Starlight pack said, especially about how painful it was to see your child in pain, and there was nothing that you could do but wait. How you would wish that it were you in that position and not your child. I he

When Mateo and I reached the area where my warriors said that they had found the Rogues, we found no one there. There weren’t any traces that would prove that a fight against them had occurred. There were several blood stains that Mateo and I assumed came from the wounded. But other than that, there was nothing else. I felt a vibration from my pocket while the sound of a phone ringing came from Mateo. Both of us took out our phones and looked at each other for a quick second before answering them.“Were you attacked?” Sean said as soon as I picked up his call. “We were,” I replied, before asking him the same question. “Were you attacked?” “Yeah,” he replied, his voice edged with concern. I could hear several voices behind him, which was enough for me to know that he was doing the exact same thing that I was doing, and that is trying to make sense of all this chaos. “Something’s not right,” Sean continued as the shouting in his background got louder. “The allied border is supposed

The runners that we have sent out to check our allied borders found nothing that was amiss. Still, because of what had happened, all of us decided to continue to make the runners check the allied borders on a bi-hourly basis. Bothered by what Mateo told me yesterday, I decided to include another clause for our group of runners. “Why don’t we have a runner representative for each of our packs?” I suggested. “It would be easy to alarm all of us if they saw sightings of Rogue wolves,” I added to make sure that everyone knew the importance of this request, without any of them asking the real motive regarding the request. “I think that it would be the best move for us right now,” Mateo agreed, “This would also lessen the casualties because all of us will be prepared then.” I watched as everyone nodded in agreement. We continued to discuss other matters, including the sweeping of the forest. It was the shortcut to most of the packs, but ever since the attack, a lot of people have avoide

We stayed at the hospital for one more day as per the doctor’s request. We also decided to have dinner tomorrow at Aiden’s house before we leave the next day. Mateo left to check on some things at the pack before we return, and promises to be at the dinner tomorrow night. “Knock, knock,” Aiden said before coming inside the room. I placed my index finger against my lips, signalling for him to lower his voice. Lylia was currently asleep, and I really wanted her to rest. I gestured him towards the couch and walked towards him and sat beside him on the couch. “So you’re really leaving the day after tomorrow?” Aiden asked. “Yes,” I replied. “It’s the right thing to do. Besides, I wasn’t supposed to be here. I was supposed to be banished, supposed to be dead.”“What would you do regarding Leo?” The question didn’t surprise me at all. I could see it coming before Aiden even asked it. “I know that the right thing to do is to tell Lylia,” I glanced over my shoulder towards Lylia, who w

Today is the day Kelly and Lylia are moving back to the Starlight pack. I was glad that Kelly didn’t stop me from coming with them, and even let Lylia sit with me. Aiden got in first to fix the car seat as I continued to talk with Mateo. “Do you feel the way I do?” Mateo asked. “What do you mean?” I asked, although a part of me had an idea of what he was referring to. “Don’t you feel that we miss something?”“I get that feeling,” I replied. “But I just don’t know how to prove it.” “Same with me,” Mateo replied. “I just feel that we have a mole in our midst, but we don’t have anything to prove it. All we have is an assumption.” “Exactly.” “Let’s keep it to ourselves for now and discuss it more once we get more proof.” I nodded in agreement just in time to hear my daughter say, “Phalpha!”I love the sound of my daughter’s voice, even though I know that she’s running towards Mateo right now. But to my surprise, instead of going to Mateo, my daughter ran to me. I knelt to be on
