Chapter 111: The Alpha King’s Heart – Chapter 111

We waited outside for the doctors and in a minute, two female doctors came to the gate in a hurry. After them, came about six tall men; they must be of higher rank by their aura.

“King Wyatt,” The tallest of them bowed respectfully to us, he was tanned and good-looking.

“Alpha Park, why did dark wolves come out of your pack?” Wyatt went on to ask.

“We let them in,” he answered, facing the ground in shame.

“Why?” I asked.

“Women and children from my pack were visiting our neighbor’s pack but on their way back, their cars were hijacked by the dark wolves,” he reported and my heart pounded in my chest.

“The dark wolves demanded to enter our gates to ensure my people’s safe return and I allowed it. I know what I did was selfish and will probably be asked to step down from my position for endangering the entire pack for a few people but I couldn’t let them die,”

He was stressed and nervous. Wyatt and I shared a glance, he understood his reasons.

“What did the dark wolves want?” Philipe asked.

“Improvised explosive devices. We have the resources to make them and they don’t,” One of the men answered, his beta Tom.

I stilled, he wants explosions? That fucker.

“How long have they stayed here?” I asked.

“Five days,” he answered.

“Were they successful?” Wyatt asked.

“We tried to delay them as my men searched for our missing people but they became suspicious and threatened to kill the hostages so we made them. The good news is that they are still in our factories because they were waiting for transport,” he said.

Relief filled me with that. Zion didn’t get his hands on the explosions yet.

“Luna, I think they are ready for you,” Aspen said, looking at the room his mate was taken to. I bet he couldn’t stay still.

I nodded and excused myself from the men. I went inside the room, the daggers were removed and stitched. The doctors were looking at me curiously, eager to see what I was about to do. I placed my fingers on her upper ribcage, just where the daggers were, and channeled the power of healing within me. Up to now, I’m still in awe of this healing ability and do not fully understand it but I’m learning bit by bit. Life was returning to the woman and her face didn’t look pale anymore.

“She’s healing,” one doctor whispered in sheer awe. She inhaled deeply and opened her eyes for only a second.

“She’ll be fine,” the other one said.

“Thank you for treating her,” I said to the doctors. They didn’t deny her service even though they knew she was a dark wolf.

“King Wyatt, you and your men can stay the night while we go in search of the abducted members,”

“No, we’ll help with the search, they couldn’t have taken them far,” Wyatt said and I nodded my support.

“What about her?” Alpha Park’s beta, Hank growled, jabbing an angry finger at her and Aspen growled back at him, intimidating Hank. It was clear he was superior.

“Nothing, we’ll keep her safe…” he hesitated, finding the need to protect the dark wolf strangely.” We’ll ask her what she knows, so keep her safe in the packhouse, and ensure she doesn’t try to escape or injure herself,”

We spent the whole night searching for the missing members of the pack to no avail, there was only one person who could tell us and it was Aspen’s mate. It was already dawn when we went back to the Apatite packhouse. Their alpha insisted to broaden the search while we questioned the dark wolf.

Two men directed us to where Aspen’s mate was held. I could tell Aspen was agitated to meet her now that she was conscious.

“Is she better,” I asked a guard who was directing us to the isolated wing she was kept.

“Yes, but she won’t talk,” the guard answered.

Wyatt pushed the door open and Aspen stayed outside as he wasn’t ready to see her yet.

The woman abruptly sat up, moving closer to the bed while her eyes were on us.

“Hi,” I smiled softly, wanting her to be comfortable. I knew how intimidating our auras were, especially to a dark wolf.

“I’m Adira, this is my mate; Wyatt,” I said, she would rather look at me than Wyatt. ” What is your name?”

The woman was quiet, and she pushed her knees against her chest. She was whimpering.

“It’s alright. We won’t hurt you. I promise,” My voice was gentle.

“Where are they?” My mate asked, his voice was cold, and was glaring at her.

‘Wyatt, you’re scaring her-‘

‘Adira, we don’t have time for this,’ he interrupted me, taking a step forward.

‘You need to calm down, we can’t get anything out of her like this,’ I said. A good twenty minutes went by and Wyatt was getting frustrated with her by each passing me. I tried to talk to her gently but her face was buried on her lap.

The door opened and Aspen walked in, his mate must have recognized the scent because she looked up slowly. Her eyes were a storm of emotions but her breathing was steady. They held each other’s gaze until she broke eye contact.

“Where are they?” Aspen asked softly. The woman finally attempted to open her mouth but no words came out of her mouth. A stray tear rolled down her cheek and she quickly looked away before wiping it with her finger.

“Hey, it’s alright. Just tell us and I promise no harm will come to you,” Aspen asked. I extended my hand to touch her long raven hair and what I saw shocked me.

“Oh my,” I gasped and backed away.
