Chapter 9

“Wolfbane and silver?” my voice sounded ho**se and it still hurt to speak.

I slowly cleared my throat and the doctor smiled in

understanding.

“Don’t talk too much, you’re very dehydrated and your energy is also drained, so you’ll be very weak” he explained quietly.

No wonder my family said that I could die due to the high levels of wolfsbane and silver in the food I drank in the juice, but due to my more human-dominated self, I was able to survive, let’s call it irony that it was my wolfless self that helped

me.

“This is my first time helping someone without a wolf, there is one inside, but it’s not dominant yet” The doctor’s words caught my attention.

I raised an eyebrow “Yet?! You mean my wolf is there?” I asked quickly with curiosity and it hurt my throat.

He smiled and nodded “She seems to still be asleep, because if you’re only human, eating the wolfbane and silver would have no effect at all, but you’re still affected, that means your wolf in there” He explained and I was surprised, for the first time someone had told me that my wolf was present.

I don’t know how to react, but I’m very happy to hear it.

“Can I hold your hand to check your pulse and whether you have a fever or not?” I frowned in confusion then understood that he really needed permission so that the guards, Alexa and El wouldn’t kill him for being rude to me and holding me without prior information.

I nodded and raised my left hand.

But then, I just realized his gaze locked to someone behind me.

I looked back and was surprised to see the Alpha king standing there.

Since when has he been there? I exclaimed to myself.

He gave his approval by nodding his head.

The doctor gently checked the pulse from my hand and touched my forehead to check my fever before nodding and informing the nurses and my mate of the medicine I still needed to take.

Letting out a long sigh, I closed my eyes as the doctor left my

room.

I shouldn’t have been surprised to learn that the Alpha king was taking me to his territory, since the incident happened in my father’s territory made him distrust the security there.

Then what happened to my work there?

or the 1 week that he mentioned earlier?

“What happened to the 1 week I was going to be picked up?” I asked as I heard the sound of a chair being pulled out and felt him sitting next to my bed.

I opened my eyes and looked towards him as he spoke “Gone since anyone dared to sneak up on you in front of my eyes” he said seriously with a locked gaze towards me.

That gaze again….

“You weren’t there, so…”

He interrupted “I should have tightened my guard since announcing you as my mate” he paused and let out a long sigh “And there was Alexa and El who were supposed to take care of you, but we all failed to protect you” I was surprised to see him looking upset as he spoke, as if blaming himself for what happened to me.

All of this has me confused…

He’s confusing me…

“Why?”

“What?” He looked confused by my sudden question.

“Why now suddenly recognize me as your mate?” I asked in detail because I wanted to know the real reason “Why is it different from before?”

He just fell silent and looked at me deeply.

We didn’t speak for a while and just stared at each other.

My heart was beating fast as I stared at this man who was my mate in front of me.

“Can I k*ss you?” His question startled me and made me blink a few times to think if I heard him clearly?

What?

“I…”

Before I could answer anything I felt the soft touch of his l*ps on my l*ps

My surprise made me stiff when I felt his k*ss, but as if there was electricity shooting through me, I couldn’t get angry or resist him, without realizing it I closed my eyes and let out a small moan as he deepened his k*ss.

O G*d, is this what it feels like to be k*ssed by your mate?

His hand was on the back of my n*eck as he deepened his k*ss.

Rough and soft, he sucked on my l*ps like something he wanted to eat but tasted first

“OUCH!” I gasped as I tried to put my arm around his n*eck, but the IV in my hand sl*pped out and blood flowed out.

“SH*T!!!” He cursed and hurriedly tore off his shirt to bandage my bleeding hand.

I grimaced and winced slightly from the blood loss as well as his deadly k*ss.

Feeling a touch on my cheek, I looked up from my bleeding

hand to see his locked eyes staring at me “I’m sorry” He said softly and I had to endure the embarrassment because even then I forgot that I was in the hospital.

What are you doing, Gwen! I cursed in my heart!

It wasn’t long before the nurse came into my room and helped put my IV back in.

“Be more careful later, my king” she said as if she knew the reason my IV had come loose.

I felt my face flush with embarrassment but my mate just chuckled without shame.

“Thank you, Laura” He said and she nodded respectfully to him and to me before she left.

The stiff silence after the nurse left haunts the room, I’m at a loss for what to say to him afterward due to the embarrassment of what I did earlier.

Why did I let him k*ss me?!

DA**IT!!!

“I claimed you because I realized how st**id and cowardly I was”

I was surprised to hear his words and turned back to meet his eyes that looked serious as he spoke.

“I shouldn’t have hurt you like that…” I didn’t realize my tears were falling as he continued speaking.

“I was a coward…”

He fell silent and let out another long sigh with his eyes closed as if remembering the event hurt him too.

I didn’t dare say anything and just listened to his words.

“And when I tried to find you, I heard that you had gone to the human world to study medicine.”

He was looking for me?

He cupped his hands around my face “I’m sorry, Gwen” He apologized and wiped my tears with his thumbs “I’m sorry for hurting you and coming late”

Oh G*d…

Finally….

Can I trust him?!
