Chapter 115
(Author’s POV)
“She is such a good kid, Noah. Then why did this happen to my sister? Just why~” Sara was a crying mess as she mumbled her grievances to him.
Noah was embracing her in his arms gently, patting her hair and comforting her. He kept telling her, “Nothing will happen to her. You can trust the doctors here. They will do their best to save Bella.” He said this but inside, he was tensed for Bella. As a medical student, he knew that Bella’s situation was grave and even life threatening.
Sara was too caught up in her own sorrow that she didn’t even question Noah about how he knew the doctors from Moon Shine Pack as a human. She kept on weeping and sobbing, just like how she had held him inside the infirmary that day.
The passerby and other patients gazed at the scene as Sara was inconsolable at this point.
Soon, Nathan and Keith dashed their way inside the hospital and to the intensive care floor. When they reached at that floor, they saw Noah and Sara hugging p>
Nathan made his way towards his eldest daughter and asked, “How is Bella now p>
Sara blinked twice when she saw her dad standing in front of her. She rushed towards him and hugging him while crying, “Dad, Bella~. She is inside and doctors are… doctors are treating her right now.” She said this between her sobs.
Keith, who was following behind, creased his brows in irritation as he sized Noah up. He didn’t like how Noah was embracing his future daughter in law. He didn’t like their closeness even one bit. But it was no place and time to show his disapproval, so he maintained his neutral face and joined Nathan.
Both he and Nathan were heartbroken to see Sara’s devastated state. Normally, she was quite a composed and calm person but right now, she was bawling her eyes out, hysterically.
Noah stood at the side silently, not interrupting father and daughter. When Sara had cried her heart out and there were no tears left to shed, the nurse rushed out of the critical care unit. Noah stopped her and asked, “How’s her condition? Is it stable p>
“The patient has lost a lot of blood so her situation is a bit dicey. For now, I can only tell you is that, the doctors are doing their best.” after telling this small but hefty piece of information, the nurse walked to the other side, her steps hurried.
Nathan heard this and he backed away, his steps staggering. He was a strong and powerful Alpha of the famous Blue Mountain Pack but as a father, it was too much to see his own flesh and blood on the verge of something irrevocably dreary.
Sara cried out anxiously, “Dad p>
Noah was fast with his steps as he rushed and supported Nathan and settled him in a vacant chair, “Mr. Allen, you should sit here.” He unscrewed the cap and handed a water bottle to him.
Nathan looked up at him as his focused shifted towards Noah. He asked, “Who are you?” He didn’t accept the bottled water as he was wary of Noah.
Noah introduced himself formally, “Sir, I am Noah Sara’s college friend.” He intentionally skipped his last name in order not to create any doubt. As an Alpha, both Nathan and Keith knew about the surname ’Everests’ and who it belonged to. If he told them his last name, they will immediately link his bloodline.
Keith was observing Noah from the sidelines and questioned him point blank, “Which family do you belong to young man? Have we met before?” He was sure that he has seen Noah somewhere, but where, he doesn’t know.
Noah pursed his lips, not wanting to answer. He then only gave answer to his second question, “No sir, it is my first time meeting you p>
Keith saw his hesitation and repeated his words again, “You have not answered my previous question. What is your last name p>
A sudden uproar was heard in the distance, as a mocking voice reached their ears, “Alpha Keith of the Half Shade Lunar Pack, Alpha Nathan of the Blue Mountain Pack. What a surprise to find two strong Alpha’s in our territory p>
Keith, hearing his name, turned around along with Sara and Nathan to look at the source of this voice.
Lucius strided with his long and imposing steps as Hanson Gilbert and Owen Martin, his Beta and Gamma followed him from behind. They halted their steps in front of Keith and Nathan.
Keith looked at Lucius’s tall and authoritative figure and frowned inwardly, but he maintained his composure and extended his hand forward for a handshake, “Alpha Lucius p>
Lucius glanced his way, nodded but didn’t shake his hand. He then turned to Nathan and asked, “Alpha Nathan, I heard your daughter is admitted in our pack’s hospital. How is she now?” His tone was filled with haughtiness.
Nathan wasn’t very fond of Lucius as he was a renowned arrogant and narcissistic Alpha wolf. But right now he was in his pack and his daughter’s life was at stake, so he humbled himself and said, “The doctors are treating her right now. Alpha Lucius, thank you for letting for lifting the barrier for our entry p>
Lucius shrugged his gratitude and said in amusement, “No need for that Alpha Nathan. After all, your daughter safety is more important. And also~” he looked in Noah’s direction.
Noah who was standing quietly in the corner was stiffened instantly by his sudden attention. He gulped down hard as Lucius returned his gaze back to Nathan, “You are a fellow Alpha. I should help you when I can.” He didn’t acknowledge Noah’s presence. He treated his son as air, like he always have.
Noah pursed his lips tightly as he was relieved his father’s indifference was benefitting him. He didn’t want to reveal his identity in such a manner. He could tell that neither of the other two Alphas liked his father’s presence.
Hanson seeing that everyone was busy, mind linked Noah. But the latter blocked his voice and pretended as if he didn’t. Hanson was irked by him. He got closer to Noah and whispered with gritted teeth, “You dare to block your grandfather. I see, you have grown wings and now you are being defiant. Noah Everests, follow me or else.” Hanson gazed at Sara with a questionable look.
Noah clenched his fist tightly. He wanted to punch this bloody bastard so badly. But he didn’t want to create any scene and also his identity was at risk so very quietly he turned and disappeared around the corner. After few seconds, Hanson followed him.
Keith was watching Noah closely and when he saw Hanson going in the same direction, he told Nathan, “I have got a call” and excused himself.
Noah was waiting at the emergency staircase as Hanson came after him. As soon as he saw his grandson, he grabbed his collar and hissed a curse, “You useless piece of meat. You brought Alpha Nathan’s daughter inside the pack and didn’t even inform anyone. Do you think you are in any position to make such decisions? You weak mutt p>
Noah didn’t utter and anything as he kept his head lowered. Hanson thought he was being obedient and gloated at his subservience, “You think, just because you are Alpha Lucius flesh and blood, you can do anything.” He slapped Noah twice, to ease his own anger. “Let me give you an advice as your grandfather, don’t try to stand out or make connection out of your league. It will only hurt you even more. Don’t try to stand in Casper’s way p>
Keith, who has followed them discreetly, heard Hanson’s words. His ears perked up as his eyes widened in shock. ’What am I hearing? He is Lucius’s son and also a weakling. Now I know why he seemed familiar to me.’ He was delighted by this piece of information. He thought, ’This unwanted weakling doesn’t even stand any chance of ruining my son’s progress to pursue Sara. She won’t even consider him as he is more or less a weak human and nothing else.’ He couldn’t smell any wolf scent from Noah.
He then turned around and walked away.
Noah raised his head and looked dead in Hanson’s eyes. He peeled Hanson’s hand off of him and clenched them hard, warning him, “My dear grandfather, don’t provoke me. Otherwise, you will meet a gruesome end.” He then grabbed his throat, suffocating Hanson, “Do you think I care about your blabbering? I can finish you here and now p>
Hanson was horrified by Noah’s sudden change in attitude. He tried to break free from Noah’s vice like grasp but the latter was just too strong. He couldn’t comprehend how a weakling could do something like this to a Beta wolf.
Noah tightened his grip around Hanson neck and warned him with a menacing voice, “Be in your limit, Hanson Boneless Gilbert” and threw him to the ground.
