Chapter 124
(Author’s POV)
“Take the criminal away and lock him up inside the dungeon” Lucius ordered Hanson, his tone was cold and ruthless.
“Alpha Lucius Everests, this is not how things work,” Keith tried to protest but was shut down by Nathan, “And why not, Alpha Keith. This is how it should be. He is a criminal who tried to defame Moon Shine Pack and its members. So, it is only right for him to be punished by them p>
Keith couldn’t believe what he just heard, ’Nathan is taking that son of a bitch’s, Lucius’s side? He is going against me and our friendship for this?’ He gritted his teeth and said, his words etched with frustration, “No, he can’t. Caiten belongs to the Half Shade Lunar Pack p>
Lucius mocked a smile and said, “And this land where you are standing, belongs to the Moon Shine Pack. You son, tried to kill an Alpha’s daughter and blame it on my pack, in my own territory. So, Alpha of the Half Shade Lunar Pack, I have every right to decide and execute his punishment, DRAG HIM OUT.” His voice echoed.
Caiten was dragged out of the hospital mercilessly, like a criminal.
Keith was fuming, but right now he had to keep his mind sound and composed to ensure Caiten’s safety. He didn’t want to have his only son be killed by this pack. Moon Shine Pack and Lucius had a reputation of torturing their prisoners to the point where they themselves asked for death. Their ways were barbaric and ruthless, just like their Alpha.
After Caiten’s departure, things calmed down a little. Owen Martin, with the help of the hospital staff dispersed the gathered crowd.
Nathan who has been angry and enraged up until this point, walked towards Steven. He sighed heavily and said, “Doctor Steven, thank you for saving my daughter for the second time. I owe you and I apologize for doubting your professionalism.” He was a rightful person and regretted his actions towards Steven and others.
He then, asked, “What will happen to my daughter now?” This was the question on everybody’s mind.
Steven pursed his lips and said truthfully, “Alpha Nathan, you don’t owe me anything. It is what my job is and as for Ms. Allen, I can’t tell you right now. But~” He paused for a brief second and added, “As she is quite young and has Alpha blood, it may help her recover from her coma p>
“What about transferring her to Blue Mountain Hospital, when can it be done?” Nathan fired another question.
“Not until her condition is fully stabilized.” Steven said firmly.
Nathan nodded and thanked him again. He then turned to Lucius and apologized to him too, “Alpha Lucius, thanks for your understanding and I apologize for what conspired p>
Lucius who was bored by now, smiled, “I understand your concerns Alpha Nathan. Anyways, I will be taking my leave now. I have a vicious criminal to deal with,” saying this he departed from the premises with lazy but elegant steps.
Steven too walked back to his office as Nathan turned towards Sara and said, “I will have to tell all this to your mom.” He then looked at Noah’s way and whispered, “I guess, you need some space to talk things through.” He patted her shoulders and walked away.
Greg went inside to see Bella. Now, only Noah and Sara were left alone outside the ward. They were awkward and didn’t know how to proceed.
With a deep breath, Sara looked Noah in the eyes and uttered, “Do you need coffee? It’s good to have some while talking p>
Noah nodded and went to grab some for them. After all, it was a long and tiring night for both of them. They went to the rooftop and sat quietly for a few minutes, no one speaking anything. Noah then started, “I am sorry. I was about to tell you back then. Now, I feel, I should have told you this sooner p>
“But why did you hide it even in the first place? Do you not like being associated with werewolves or something? Or was it something else?” Sara questioned him openly.
Noah’s past was complicated and has always been a touchy subject for him. But he didn’t want to lie to Sara anymore. So, he confessed, “It is not that I dislike being a wolf. It is just that from my birth till now, I have been perceived as weak and fragile who cannot even transition to his wolf form p>
“Is Alpha Lucius your father?” Sara was curious to know.
“In terms of sperm and blood, yes he is.” Noah told her casually.
Sara didn’t understand his words, “What do you mean? And if you do have his blood in your veins, how can you be considered weak p>
“It’s a bit complicated matter. Do you know the name Moana Gilbert?” Noah asked her with a glint in his eyes.
Sara nodded, “Yes, everyone knows about her and her story p>
“She is my mother,” Nathan spoke, “She is the woman from the story p>
Sara immediately understood his meaning and her eyes widened in shock, “You~, you are. I am so sorry p>
“You don’t have to be. Long story short, my pack members aren’t very fond of me, including my father. I have often been bullied because of being weak here. I want to live a quiet and humble life. So p>
“So, that’s why you didn’t wanted anybody to know you were a werewolf or an Alpha King’s son.” Sara completed his words.
“Um~hmm, pretty much that.” He nodded.
Sara looked at the sky, the sun was about to rise. She then turned her head towards Noah, took two steps and stood him front of him, face to face. She ruffled his head and patted him like a child, “You are a good person, Noah. Whether you are a human or a werewolf, it does not matter to me. I like you because you are Noah. Not an Everests or a wolf p>
