Chapter 4: Immediate Choices.

Rowan.

As if my soul left my body when the guard announced to me that Jaylene was in trouble, my Mate is in trouble, l followed him immediately without asking him what happened or not, didn't want to imagine any possibility, l would go crazy if something happens to Jaylene.

 Elias knows what to do, he will clear up things over here, l scurried back to the Pack quickly, and Leon was already waiting restlessly for me at the main entrance.

"Tell me everything's alright Leon, " l muttered glaring at his face vaguely.

" This is bad, and l don't know how you are going to handle this, his sex Video was leaked, l mean it was displayed on the screens when his father was giving a speech to congratulate him, moanings of him begging him to shove it back into ass, repeatedly, His Father fainted to cause more confusion, he was rushed to the hospital, but l didn't see Jaylene, reasons why l rushed back, l was so nervous l didn't think about Mind Linking you."

 I stood there with my mind as blank as an empty tunnel, l dazed at my Beta vaguely.

"What do you mean you didn't see Jaylene? You were there yet you couldn't protect him?" I asked him infuriatingly.

" l stepped outside to have a smoke, l didn't go there to spy on your mate, l went there to enjoy the goddamn party before l knew it was rowdy and unsettled until l left the video was still playing on the screen, Jaylene must be very devastated, the crowd there was already overwhelming enough.

 I shook my head vehemently going on my steps, sweat formed ripples on my forehead, and l hurried directionless. I don't know what I'm doing but l need to see my Mate. I don't know where to find him but l will just go with the flow.

"Alpha Rowan?" I could hear my Beta call me but my mind was too busy to answer him, l know he is worried about me too.

 I began to think about where and where Jaylene would always go in the evening, where would he go at this point, he is my Mate, l will still love him the same, l don't care about what the world thinks about him, he is my better half, he completes me and brings out the best in me even though l avoid him when he is happy with others.

 It is my fate, l don't resent him, our destiny is intertwined but we are each other's doom, my fate in my life scroll keeps ringing in my mind, he doesn't know anything about me, what right should l have to feel jealous.

"I pushed the door to the Bar he likes visiting, but the waiter was already cleaning, l knew he was here, l recognise his fruity scent, the faint smell of vanilla, l rushed out quickly going in the direction of his scent, l missed him by a few seconds as he drove out slowly.

 I became nervous that l didn't know what to do, should l wave stop at him, should l follow his Car, what do l do, l began running after his car, what exactly do l think l'm doing.

 He began driving extra fast. It was night already and there were not many cars on the road. I followed him closely. He was not even heading in the direction of his house. He must really be hurt, he drove too fast and he just left the bar.

 My eyes widened fervently as my world went slowly into Pause, l saw Jaylene's car crash into a truck with my eyes, and l lost my mind, l could barely control myself not to shift into my wolf as they might be a camera around, l can't show my wolf form to the world, l rushed to the Jaylene car and heaved out the door forcefully.

 I could barely recognise my Mate's face as he was bathing in blood, l nervously checked his pulse, l could barely feel his heartbeat, and tears rolled down my eyes feverishly.

" Help!, Somebody help me," l screamed at the top of my voice, l rob my pocket thoroughly looking for means of communication, at least to call the ambulance, I forgot I'm not the type to use a mobile phone except the old telephone in the office that Father had fixed for me to communicate urgently if there are matters outside the Pack.

"Jaylene? " l said, tapping on his face, "stay with me, please? Jaylene, please? Moon Goddess please, what do l do?

" l'm sorry, "l apologised before l ran my fingers all over his body looking for his cell phone, he should have one, but l didn't find anything, thankfully my eyes glimpse at one on the ground laying between the crushed backseat l pulled Jaylene desperately laying him on the ground where there were no glasses.

 I stretched my hand to pick it up. It has a password on it. I didn't know what to do, l don't even know how to use one, l bite my lips frustratingly, and smash it on the ground, l can't be helpless, l can't watch my mate die in front of me.

" Jaylene?" This time l tapped painfully on his face, l was becoming so furious, what do l do?

"I won't allow you to leave me in this world Jaylene," l held him up in my arms as l tugged his stray hair backwards, it was moistened in blood too, and l couldn't control my tears from flowing freely on my cheeks, l howled loudly that every wolf in the central plain can hear my cry and feel my deepest pain.

 Since my coming of age, l have not been allowed to go close to him now he is dying right in my eyes.

 A punishable thought flashed through my mind, if l mark him he will surely survive this, he will become a wolf and an accident like this will not kill him, if he survives his primal shift he will be fine, but he might never forgive me for doing this, The Moon Goddess might never forgive me for going against her either.

 I rather kill myself than watch my Mate die in front of me, l shut my eyes as another wave of tears fumed feverishly rolling down my cheeks as l pierced his neck with my fangs, suckling and deepening my fangs on him as his delicious vanilla scent filled up my nose.

 Unconditional tears rushed down my cheeks as I kept biting on him, and my thoughts started feeling ablaze, what if l'm too late? What l can't save him, l deepened my fangs on him.

 Thunderstorms and lightning grace the sky, the heavy breeze that began blowing would push a needle on the ground, the weather is changing, it is going to rain soon, what do l do if this doesn't work, my eyes fumed red as my emotions are going at its peak, what if this can't save him, l'm not too late right?

"Jaylene, please, stay with me, even though l'm not supposed to mate with you right? But there is a future for us, right? Can we create a future together?" I murmured those words in my mind, if l don't stop Jaylene might even die from loss of blood.

 It has started pouring, there is no one looking for him, they have not been helped by anyone since he got in an accident and no one is really looking for him.

 I slowly redrew my fangs on him as the downpour got heavier, l howled out grudgingly, l heaved him in my arms and went on my steps slowly.

 Humans are so dumb and partial, that there has been an accident that occurred 45minutes ago, and no emergency has been seen, l didn't care l only thought probably the truck driver still had a chance too, my Mate is my priority.

 If there was a world where we could exist in the preliminary, probably l could have saved my Mate in a more conducive way, or maybe we would have probably never met, not in a situation like this.

I shifted into my wolf as l entered my Pack's boundary, am l even doing the right thing, I brought his body to Pack, it raining where else can l take him to, l'm goings against my sanity.

 I could hear my Betas, Leon, and Elias mumbling words inaudible words, they are likely waiting for me to get back, l kicked the door open with my leg and—

"What in the name----------"

*Get the Doctor immediately," l groaned in a stern tone cutting Elias shut to his words.

"What did you do, Alpha? " Leon said rushing to dart a comfortable place l could lay Jaylene on the couch.

"I don't know what l did either, " l said putting my legs on my knees as l gazed at Jaylene,

"What happened to him? "Leon asked again which l was getting really annoyed.

"He had an accident, Get me a bowl of warm water," l said dismissing my Beta, l thought if l marked him he would wake up immediately, but he didn't even react to my bite.

"The Doctor is here, Alpha, " Elias announced monotonously, l took a step back nervously, and Leon threw a dry towel on my head and kept the bowl of warm water with another towel hanging on the lid.

 The doctor took a look at him, doing the necessary check-up he could do. I started drying my hair with the towel Leon gave me. I couldn't take my eyes off the most precious thing my eyes had ever seen. He is the epitome of all beauty, the word perfection itself.

"I marked him," l let out randomly causing My two Betas to gasp in surprise.

"What? I mean you don't dare? " Leon asked vaguely.

"Tell me you are kidding, you won't go against your life scroll, you are the leader, and you are meant to show a good example, so take that back Alpha?" Elias mumbled unpleasantly.

" l won't be joking about a thing like that, l will be a coward and say that is the only choice l had to save him," I confessed thoughtfully.

"No, you can't tell that was the only choice you had, Alpha, you were being selfish, it's what you have always wanted, don't sugarcoat by making excuses and blaming it on the act of cowardice," Leon retorted annoyingly.

"Watch your tone, Leon, you don't know anything about this."

"This is not time to fight, Alpha please, Leon it's enough.

" l want it to remain a secret from the rest of the Pack, and family too, especially my Father."

"Yes, Alpha, " Elias answered, leaving Leon to look at me sternly, l know he worried about me, he is my best friend, l messed up, l have gone against my own destiny, the Moon Goddess gives us a life scroll for a reason, as the path that will lead us through life, yet l directly went against it.

"You are in deep trouble Rowan, " Leon announced seriously.

"Can you stop? You are not helping, if you------------"

"Alpha, he is safe."

"Huh? "I paid close attention to the Doctor's words.

" l can't help him much right now, l can only allow his body to fight itself and respond to your touch, he will surely come around in 16 hours, l stopped him from bleeding but it is useless, he is going to have his Primal shift, when he wakes up, by then, everyone has to be careful."

"Thank you, Doctor, Elias, see him off," l said.

  My thoughts are filled with so much uncertainty, yet thankfully my Mate is still alive and that is what matters, l quickly soaked the towel in that bowl to clean him up. 

"What would you do when he wakes up? Send him to his family? Because this is not a place for him, " Leon said.
