Chapter Three~The Hotel Tragedy

It was all quiet. It was like time had stopped. Lin could not hear a thing, she felt so numb as she stared at her best friend lying on the floor of the hotel room. 

“Lin! What the hell, Lin!” Robert exclaimed as he rushed to Jane’s aid. 

Blood. Thick blood gushed out of Jane’s head and she was unconscious in seconds. 

“What are you doing? F*cking help me!” Robert shouted the words as he lifted Jane in his arms, taking her to the door. 

Lin inhaled sharply and then was sucked back into reality. It was at that moment that she realized what she had fully done. And how did she feel about it? Well, nothing. She felt nothing. 

“Help me and open the door, Lin! Gosh!” Robert was panicking. 

Lin swallowed and made her way to the door, expertly dodging the puddle of blood that had formed. She opened the door and followed Robert as he carried her best friend down the hallway and towards the stairs. 

In no time, they were out of the hotel and heading to his car. There were a few people that were staring and didn’t mind their business. 

Lin was about to get in the car with Robert and Jane when her phone chimed. She glanced at it quickly and saw that it was No User. 

‘Don’t get in his car, use your own car,’ The message read. 

Robert had already placed Jane in the backseat. She was laid there with care. He was now behind the steering wheel, waiting for his girlfriend so he could head to the hospital. 

But she was being so damn slow! “Oh my gosh, Lin!” He complained. 

“Uh…” Lin mumbled in response. “I think I will take my car to the hospital. I will meet y’all there.” She closed the door and watched the car pull off without Robert saying anything else to her. 

She stood there for a few seconds before her emotions returned. And man…she was hurt. Yes, she may have been impulsive and was kind of regretting why she had hit her best friend in the head, but she was so angry and hurt. 

She decided to listen to No User because why not? The unknown person was the one who helped her catch her boyfriend cheating on her. Maybe they were watching out for her. 

Lin headed to her car and got in. She started the engine and was on her way in no time. Her heart was pounding in her chest and she could feel a lot of anxiety. 

After a few minutes of driving, when she was getting closer to the hospital, her phone made another chime. 

She slowed down next to the road and picked it up. It was a message. And yes, it was from her unknown guardian angel. 

‘So…let me just say, that was very entertaining! I am very pleased about how you handled that situation! A blow to the head with a champagne bottle? Spectacular!’ The message read. 

Lin’s eyebrows furrow in confusion. How? How did this person know all this? It had just happened. And she knew certainly that it was only she, Jane, and her boyfriend who was in the hotel room. 

‘Who are you?’ She texted back and bit her lip lightly as she waited for a response. 

‘You will know very soon. But for now, I need you to head back home. And I’m not talking about here in the city. Go back to your real home. Your pack needs you. Your legacy is dying,’ The reply came. 

That made Lin’s heart drop. 

No one in the city knew that she was a she-wolf. She had hidden that part of her very well. And so for the unknown person to be telling her that, it shook her to the core. 

“F*ck…” She mumbled to herself as she tried to wrap her head around what was happening. 

Her pack.

She had left her pack for almost seven years now and had not looked back. She had come to live in the city with the humans and had started a life for herself. 

But now that she was finally happy and enjoying what she had built for herself, it all just came tumbling down. 

Lin was the only child of her parents. And guess what? Her father was the Alpha of their pack and her mother was the Luna. 

The pack was called the Bloodhound Pack. And according to their tradition, she was supposed to be the next Alpha. 

But that was not what she wanted. 

That was one of the reasons she left, or should she say, ran away? She was not ready for all that heavy responsibility, nor even was she now.

Plus, she was a female, and a lot of talk was floating around that a female shouldn’t be made alpha, and that even led to a small protest. So yeah, she had to leave. 

But to make matters worse, she had turned eighteen and had not even shifted into her wolf yet, nor had she found a mate. It was very frustrating and depressing and she just wanted to escape all the heaviness. 

So yeah, that was why she was in the city at the moment; living a happy life. She missed her parents and her pack so much but she was perfectly okay with the decision she had made. 

But it was crazy that now someone that she did not know and had not even met was telling her to go back home. 

‘Who the hell are you?’ Lin texted back, turning off the engine of the car so she could focus. 

‘No User,’ The reply was instant, and it only made Lin more annoyed. 

Her grip on the phone tightened as she tried to control the anger that was building up in her. She did not want to go to her pack at all. She just wanted everything to be okay with her boyfriend again. 

She wanted it all to go back to the way things were a week ago. 

But, you don’t always get what you want, do you?
