Saving His Mate

Dina's POV:

I didn't care if I was going to get lost in this damn forest; all I cared about was running far away from Lykoz. My survival first, then escaping follows!

I kept running deep into the forest until I heard weird noises not far from where I stood.

I slowly walked up to the spot where the noises were coming from. It wasn't just usual noises, but human voices mixed with growls of wolves.

Even though the maid who washed me up earlier sounded sincere, I couldn't bring myself to accept that fact! All of this only happens in fairy tale books!

“Someone is here.”

The faint voice echoed, making me stop walking, covering my mouth with my hands to avoid making noise.

“I didn't hear any approaching footsteps,” another muttered, making me feel a bit relaxed.

I slowly raised my gaze to see what they were doing in the deep forest in the middle of the night.

My eyes widened in awe as I watched many of them slowly transform from human to wolf forms, growling at the same time.

With everything unfolding right in front of me, I couldn't help but believe everything the lady earlier said. But why am I being dragged here? What is my offense for wanting to pay off my father's debt after he abandoned me and my mother?

Lost in my thoughts, I didn't know when I lost my balance, making me stumble down into the middle of the werewolves; all of them now in their werewolf form.

I managed to stand up, feeling pain all over my body. I glanced at them, praying inwardly that they don't hurt me.

“Seeing that you aren't shifting, I think there is more to you,” one of them asked curiously.

“I got dragged here from the human realm by your Alpha,” I revealed honestly.

They all growled excitedly before charging towards me. Without thinking twice, I took to my heels.

I kept running, not caring if the gaps between us were small. Exhausted, a few of them finally caught up with me, circling me.

“I have always imagined how a human girl would taste. Thanks to Alpha Lykoz, I am finally going to have a taste of a worthless human,” one of the wolves in its half form echoed loudly.

Before I could think of how to escape from them, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, the exact feeling of a deep stab.

I fell weakly to the ground, blood streaming down my chest, the pain unbearable.

“Let’s retreat. The Alpha is here! I could sense him!” Those were the last words I heard before losing consciousness.

LYKOZ POV:

After searching the whole house and nearby houses without finding her, I decided to search for her in the woods.

Knowing she might die if she really walked into this wood, I hastened my steps, hoping nothing happens to her.

My five hundred thousand dollars can't just go in vain!

“Dina! Wake up!” I screamed after I found her.

I cupped her face in my hands, guilt washing over me. If only I let her go when she begged me, she wouldn't have ended up in this state.

“Lykoz, this isn't the time to hesitate! She is still alive. Our mate is alive,” Jules said.

I snapped out of my thoughts before lifting her from the ground, carrying her like a baby.

All gazes were on me, everyone watching me as I ran into the house with Dina in my hands, acting like a different person.

Arriving at my room, I dropped her on the bed before leaving for the physician.

“My Alpha, is she alright?” Beta Zach asked curiously.

“Get me the physician, now!” I instructed, ignoring his question.

I did not know the reason behind my action, but I know I no longer want to be the cause of another death! I should be this pack's protector and not their destroyer!

“Yes, My Alpha,” Zach muttered before leaving to get the physician.

I returned to my room.

My gaze fell on Dina, who was looking pale, sweat beads clustered on her forehead. Given the spot she was bleeding, it was obvious she was attacked by one of the werewolves after finding out she was human.

“My Alpha, you instructed for my presence,” the physician informed, his gaze fixed on the ground.

“I want you to save this human girl from dying!” I commanded, leaving no room for argument.

“Yes, My Alpha,” the physician replied before he began examining Dina.

I noticed an unreadable look on his face, but I pretended not to notice, waiting for him to reveal whatever the problem was.

“My Alpha, she doesn't have the pulse of an injured person,” the physician, who I had known to be the best in our pack, informed me. “Given her pulse, she has a mild fever.”

“Mild fever? You must be ridiculous!” I half-yelled before walking up to Dina.

Not bothering to unbutton her shirt, I tore it into a rag. My fingers ran down the spot I vividly saw blood stream from, but there wasn't any sign of injury.

I tried searching for the injury from the bleeding but couldn't. There is no way a human girl could heal herself. Even me, I can't heal myself from such an injury within such a short period of time!
