Chapter 6

Emilia Abel - POV

I felt extremely warm but cozy at the same time as I felt the hold on me tighten. I tried to turn around, but I was locked in my position when I heard a light knocking on the door. With great difficulty, I opened my eyes, while I squinted a few times to clear my vision to see that the room was pitch dark.

I must have slept the entire day. I tried to get up, but the man’s hold on me tightened, and I felt something poke my inner thigh.

“Miss, are you inside?” I heard a man yell. I quickly detangled myself from his hold and got up from the floor. After taming my wild curls, I walked towards the room door and opened it to see the man from the reception standing there.

“Yes?”

“Just a routine check. There are a few men here looking for someone. So…” I didn't hear the rest of his words as a cold shiver ran down my spine.

Did he find me?

“Could you and your husband come with me?” he asked me when I was broken out from my trance. I stepped out of the room and closed the door.

“My husband is sleeping at the moment. He has caught the flu, so…”

“Oh, I will…” Before he could finish his sentence, I heard heavy footsteps coming upstairs, and soon I saw three unfamiliar men walk towards us. My heart nearly jumped out of my throat as they came to a stop in front of my room door.

They were all werewolves and from their scent, I knew that they were pack wolves, but they weren't from my pack. “We will take it from here.” the man, who looked a little taller than the other two, said when I saw a worried look cross over the human’s face.

“I will stay…”

“We can take it from here. You can leave.” the man said with authority when he nodded his head and walked out of there. The man who spoke had blonde hair, which was cut in a military cut, and looked as well built as the man who was in my room.

“You know you have crossed into our territory without our permission?” the man asked me.

“I…am still in the neutral territory.” I asserted, sounding unsure when a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

“Ma’am, you have officially entered the Red Stone pack. And I believe you are well aware of the rules. No rogue is allowed to stay in here unless permitted by the Alpha. But you have broken that rule.”

“It was never my intention to stay in here. I was driving past your territory when a wolf collided with my vehicle, and I had no choice but to help, so I booked a room here.” I said when a frown formed on the man’s face.

“You know I don't believe you, right?” he asked me.

“You can see it for yourself,” I said as I walked towards my room and opened the door. As I walked inside, I felt the man walk inside as well. “I don't know who…”

“Andres?” I abruptly turned around to face the man when he rushed to Andres’s side and knelt down on the ground.

“You know him?” I asked him, but he ignored my question.

“What happened to him?” the man questioned when I saw the other two men walk inside as well.

“He sustained a lot of stab wounds, and there was a significant amount of silver in his body as well.” I listed out what I saw. The man assessed his wounds when he looked at me with suspicion.

“If there was silver in his body, then how did his wounds heal?”

Shit, I shouldn't have told him there was silver in his body.

“Tell him you had the antidote.” Silver said.

“I had the antidote for silver in my first aid kit,” I replied when I saw the man look at the mess that was on the bed. The rubbish bin was filled with stained cotton balls, and the bed was scattered with the equipment I used.

“You are a doctor?” he said, but I shook my head.

“My mother is a doctor. So I learned a few things from her.” I told him when he nodded his head.

“Gamma Benjamin, we might have to take Beta Rodriguez to the pack hospital immediately. His body is unusually warm.” one of the men said, and Gamma Benjamin nodded his head.

“Take him to the car, I will come,” he said, and the men helped Andres off the ground and wrapped the blanket around his torso as they walked out of the room.

“Thank you.” I peeled my eyes off Andres and looked at Gamma Benjamin.

“You're welcome,” I said, and he turned around to leave.

“We can ask him to take us into his pack, Emilia.” Silver suggested.

“What are you talking about?”

“Didn't the name of the pack ring a bell?” she asked me when a frown formed on my face. “Red stone pack is one of the strongest packs in the northern region and the sworn enemy of our previous pack as well.”

“Gamma Benjamin,” I called out when he came to a stop and turned around to face me.

“I am looking for a pack to join. So, can I join your pack?” I asked him. A tense silence engulfed us as he stared at me with an indifferent look on his face. When I was about to speak again, he turned around and took a few steps to leave.

“You might have to talk to the Alpha first,” he said as he walked out of the room. A smile broke out on my face when I quickly took all my belongings and walked out of there. As I walked out of the motel, I saw Gamma Benjamin waiting for me near my car. “Ready to go?” he asked me, and I nodded my head.

“Where is Beta Rodriguez?”

“The warriors have already taken him. Let's go,” he said, and I nodded my head and walked to the boot, after loading my things, we got in, and soon we were off.
