Chapter 118
(Author’s POV)
The doctor pressed his lips together and told Nathan truthfully, “Ms. Bella Allen’s head injury was caused by an object made up of partially silver, due to which she has lost a lot of blood. But thankfully she was brought here just in time and we managed to save her life. Although, she is still not completely out of danger and next few hours for her are quite critical. Once she wakes up, I can tell you more about her health status and how much this brain injury has affected her p>
Nathan clenched his fist tightly; he didn’t know how to respond. Sara thanked the doctor as Lucius commanded, “Steven, I don’t want any mishandling on your part. See to it that her treatment is top notch and there is no chance of any relapse p>
“Yes, my King,” Steven, the attending doctor replied while bowing his head in respect.
Lucius turned and told Nathan, “Alpha Nathan, Alpha Keith. My men have arranged accommodations for you and your children in my pack house. You should rest as it has been quite a long journey for you p>
Nathan didn’t want to leave Bella’s side but he couldn’t flat out refuse Lucius’s request. Sara saw his haggard face and convinced him, “Dad, you should go and rest for now. I am here for Bell. If anything happens or if there is any update I will let you know immediately.” She assured him her tone soft.
Keith too agreed with Sara but he then added, “Nathan, Sara is right. And Caiten is also here with her. He will look after both Sara and Bella.” He enunciated his last sentence with pressure as he gave a long glance towards Greg and Noah.
Though, Nathan was reluctant to leave, he still didn’t decline out of politeness. But he made sure to warn Sara through mind link, ’Sara, don’t trust anyone here. Not your current friends or your old ones. Stay alert and call for me immediately if you find anything suspicious or out of place p>
Sara assured him, ’I will follow your orders, father’ and nodded at him.
All the three Alphas departed for the pack house along with Hanson Gilbert and Owen Martin. Now only, Sara, Caiten, Noah and Greg were left. Caiten tried to gain Sara’s sympathy as he started hissing with discomfort while taking small steps, “Tskkkkkk “
Sara asked him, her voice filled with concern, “What happened? Is your injury not healed yet p>
He lifted his shirt slightly and showed off the fresh wound around his lower left ribcage. Sara exclaimed a tad but loud, “Caiten, why are you enduring this? You should have treated your wound first and foremost p>
Caiten made a puppy doggy face and replied, “I just didn’t wanted to make you worry. You are already dealing with a lot of stress. I don’t want to put more on your plate.” He pursed his lips, showing a guilty face.
Noah and Greg looked at his Oscar worthy performance. Greg mumbled, “How can his wound still be fresh if he was attacked in the hotel? Isn’t he an Alpha wolf? His recovery rate should be ten times better than a normal wolf p>
Noah narrowed his eyes and locked them with Caiten’s. He knew Caiten Snow was lying but what was his motive, he wasn’t sure of that. Sara asked a passing nurse to take Caiten with her for dressing his wound up.
Caiten obediently listened and followed the nurse meekly but as soon as he turned to the corner his stance changed. His slumped and dejected shoulders perked up and he walked with arrogant and authoritative steps, as if he was in no pain.
After his brief departure, Noah and Sara settled down in a chair as Greg uttered, “I feel thirsty. Do you guys also need water? I will go get it for you.” And without waiting for their replies, he went off giving them space.
Sara’s mental state was much more stable and clear than before. Her memory struck her as she asked Noah, her voice filled with curiosity, “So, you knew about the werewolf kind p>
Noah hummed, “Mm~hmm I do, quite closely p>
“So, why didn’t you say anything before? You always knew that I was not a human like you but a werewolf, different specie from you, right?” Sara questioned him, her eyes narrowed.
“Umm~hmm, I knew. You never asked” he laughed awkwardly after replying.
Sara looked at him and said, “You were going to tell me something back then… ummmm at the rooftop. Was it this thing or there is something more I need to know p>
Arth, his wolf, urged him, ’Noah, tell her. You need to speak up now. She’s waiting.’ Although, Noah thought the timing wasn’t right, but now that Sara was asking this question on her own. He shouldn’t conceal it any further. He sighed and started, “Actually, there is something I need you to know other than this p>
Sara didn’t interrupt him, waiting for him to continue. He proceeded, “Sara, listen carefully. You know I really like you and it wasn’t my intention to hide this from you but I didn’t have a choice.” He took a deep breath and kept on, “I am just like you, I am a p>
“Sara, Noah, what are you guys talking about so seriously?” Caiten barged in on their conversation.
Noah sealed his lips tightly, he didn’t wanted to confess his real identity in front of Caiten. Sara saw his hesitation and didn’t persuade him to go on, instead she changed the topic, “We were talking about some random stuff. You tell me, is your wound patch up? You feeling fine now p>
Caiten nodded and settled on the other side of Sara.
Noah was slightly dejected by the sudden intruding but Sara held his hand and gave it a light squeeze and whispered in his ears, “We will talk when we are alone. Tell me then, okay p>
Noah squeezed her hand back. Caiten saw it and was irritated beyond measure by this coziness but right now he wanted to remain in Sara’s good books. After all, he was not cleared off of that hotel incident.
In a casual and his usual way, he held Sara’s hand and pulled her towards him, embracing her, he cooed in her ears, “Ras, I just want to say, thank you for trusting me.” Though, Caiten was thanking Sara, his eyes were on Noah as if he was challenging him.
Sara was unprepared and was left stunned for a second. For full five seconds, she didn’t react but her mind reeled back to Noah’s words. What he said to her at the rooftop, struck her, ’I don’t want you to hug anyone else but only me.’ She gently pulled herself apart from Caiten, maintaining some distance.
Caiten had a rather awkward expression on his face as the smug look in his eyes narrowed instantly, in that moment. He was getting slap after slap tonight. First it was the date thing, then Sara declined his offer to pick her up, then she talked to him as if he was the culprit and now she was distancing herself from him. He was itching to make things right.
In that moment, his father mind linked him, “Caiten, is your injury alright now?” Keith was concerned for his son’s well-being.
Caiten replied casually, “It was just a superficial wound father, nothing to worry about p>
“Son, is that Noah boy and his friend still there with you and Sara?” Keith questioned him again.
“Unfortunately, that leech and the omega weakling with him, both are still here. Why do you ask about them? Is something up?” Caiten asked his dad, not expecting what he was going to say next.
“Listen son. Be careful of those two, especially the one named Noah. I have observed him when you weren’t there. He is quite a handful and was getting cozy with Sara.” Keith explained.
“I know dad. He is just a human parasite. He is just Sara’s plaything anything much. She will never choose him over me. After all, I am an Alpha wolf and he is a mere human peasant.” Caiten shrugged his father’s concerned off.
“No son, you do not understand. He is not a human but a werewolf. I heard this with my own ears.” Keith revealed.
“What That’s impossible father. He is not, you must have misheard something. I didn’t detect any wolf aura from him. And Sara also told me that he was a human. So, why will he hide his identity?” Caiten was dumbfounded as well as in disbelief.
Keith told Caiten, what he had heard, “I heard him talking to the Beta of Moon Shine Pack, Hanson Gilbert. He was threating that boy and this is not even the full information. He is not just a regular wolf. He is the son of Moon Shine Pack’s King, Alpha Lucius Everests p>
“WHATTTTT? He is Lucius’s son?” Caiten looked at Noah completely stupefied by this piece of information.
