The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 30

Part 1 Cold blood

Mei's pov

My gaze was on Steph's sleeping face, looking worriedly at her. She was never interested in training and protecting herself, and part of it was her father's fault. Violence was all she endured as a child and she always made sure to avoid encountering danger which triggered memories of her monstrous dad.

Knowing that she adored children, especially my son, she would do anything for him, even go against her nature. She helped save his life and this is how she got repaid.

"Mei," she groaned, feeling my presence, still with her eyes closed.

"Shh, I'm here dear. Don't worry. I am going to stay by your side."

"Is he safe?" She asked in a whisper.

"Yes, Steph. You saved his life. You and the whole pack are his heroes."

She barely opened her eyes to look at me, forming a faint smile. Reaching for my hand, I felt her cold fingers on my skin.

"Last time you saved my life. Year's later you saved the pack from the vampires. Later on, you did your best to save the world from the demons that walked this earth. You deserve to have our loyalty, luna."

She mumbled softly, looking weak with all the prescribed drugs she had, preventing her from feeling pain. Her wound was wrapped in white gauze, stopping the blood from making its way out.

I smiled and looked into her beautiful brown eyes.

"It's part of my duty as one," I pressed my hands around hers, "You need to rest baby girl. When your wound heals I want you to start training immediately. It's in your best interest. Now sleep and let yourself into a beautiful dream."

She closed her eyes, taking one deep breath, then slowly exhaling, trying to put herself into slumber.

I stayed there for a few hours, watching the doctors and nurses checking her wound, making sure there was no infection and that it was healing well.

"It seems like it is getting better. Her wolf is healing her fast. She is lucky the knife did not touch her vital organs," one doctor said, raising her eyebrows.

Observing her, she was thin and tall and had the sweetest character. Looking confident with her job, she eyed me with her green eyes for a moment, sensing that I was quietly watching her. I must have made her feel nervous as she shifted herself in a way to cover her work in process from me.

"What's your name, doctor?" I asked softly.

"Nia," she answered, smiling at me, still closing Steph's wound with a new clean gauze.

"Thank you, Nia. You are the best."

She nodded and left the room to visit her next patient.

Gazing outside the window, I wondered if Luka has managed to figure out the agenda behind the attacks. After hours of waiting for his return from the dungeons, he showed up by the hospital door looking exhausted. He looked at Steph, nodding at me. He wanted to check on her, but she was asleep. I nodded back and smiled faintly, turning my eyes towards her, taking one last glimpse before walking out to get updated in regards to the present matter.

"We have discovered everything Mei," he started, glancing at me as we walked towards our bedroom.

"Well?" I locked eyes with him, closing the door behind us.

"The enchantress and her magic did the trick. She is brilliant. I wonder how it feels like being in someone's mind. She explained in detail what is behind everything. If only you were there," he said, placing his family heirloom necklace on the dressing table.

"No one would be able to find out anything, because if I saw both of them, they would wish they were already dead."
