CHAPTER 6: THE HEALERS.

Kaylee was quick to grip her wrist with a growl and draw her back. Most girls were infected and mesmerized by Tyler's beauty. His physique, aura, and display of understanding. Katie's happened to be one of them that had fallen under his innocent spell. For as long as she could remember, she had admired Tyler, but he never paid attention to any of them. She still had hope that her unrequited love would somehow come to an end, and she would be with Tyler. A dream free to have but expensive to achieve.

“I can feel her energy. It is faint, but battling between surviving and crossing over. She might look dead, but her soul is still alive, only faint and almost unnoticeable,” Kamala the last spoke, trying to subdue the situation.

“I felt it too,” Tyler concurred. “She spoke to me through her mind. Somehow, she directed me to her. It was like a magnet. I wonder how possible that is until I got close to her and realized that she was my mate.”

Kaylee averted her gaze from Tyler's desperate eyes to look at her sister, Kamala. “If that is the case, we can only help her when she wins the fight. We are healers and forbidden to interview in the affairs of nature, such as a battle between life and death. You should know this, Alpha Tyler.”

“We can only heal her once she makes the decision for herself. However, if she gives in to death, then, we have no other option than to stand back. That was her undoing,” Katida projected.

Tyler, who studied the ways of the healers before he, became an Alpha knew this. He didn't need a pep talk about it. Being intelligent and smart was one of the aides that gave him his current position.

“Till then, I'm afraid we can't touch her,” Kamala said once more.

“Are you trying to tell me that you three can't use your combined power to help her? What if she gives in? What if she isn't strong enough to make it back on her own?”

“I'm afraid that's left for her and nature to decide. Forcefully, an intervention will sap us of all our powers. We will be striped and might take days to regain it. This will endanger not just us, but you and everyone out here if we are attacked. Nobody will heal the injured,” Katida enlightened Tyler.

“Is there no alternative, Kaylee, Katida, and Kamala?”

“There could be?” Katida tried to say.

“Katida!” Kaylee warned. “Alpha Tyler, we can't even speak or think of it. Especially not because of a mere stranger.”

“I understand.”

Tyler's frustration grew the more. The triplet had different special abilities even though they were young. Kaylee could feel the climate; whether it would rain, be sunny, cloudy, cold, hot, harsh, unfavorable, or irritating. Anything that had to do with the weather, she felt it before anyone else. Katida could foresee when chaos would arise. She felt the presence and impact of war before it occurred. And, Kamala could feel a life source. Her power was the most interesting because she felt energies, and vibrations and gave a pronunciation between the living and the dead.

Tyler made sure their special abilities apart from being healers were hidden. Only a few knew about them because if words got out, other packs would want to attack and take them away. That was what made Tyler's pack outstanding. It took in the rejected and discovered something precious within them.

Most old members of the silver pack were either found abandoned or rescued by masters who wanted to kill them. The younger ones were birthed into the pack. The old Alpha had tried to find the origin and families of all the members. He was successful with all because he put in a lot of effort except for one. That exception was now the Alpha, Tyler. All the more reason he had questioned handing over power to Tyler, even though he was the most efficient candidate. 

He feared that Tyler might be someone that much shouldn't be given to until the root of his existence was discovered. That decision couldn't stand as Tyler kept drilling all odds. Hopefully, his action with the girl doesn't make the dead Alpha of the Silver pack right.

“Why is she so important to him?” Kaylee asked Kamala who could sense energies which she would then narrow down to make meaning out of, with their mindlink.

The three had a unified mindlink they blocked off from everyone else for communication. Only they could feel, talk, and hear each other until they unlocked it, making it accessible to any other member of the pack.

“Because she is his mate,” Kamala answered. “The bond between them is strong, and he would stop at nothing until she is okay.”

“Interesting. Who would have thought that Alpha Tyler would find his mate after all these years? I'm eager to see how they will both push through because Alpha Tyler is a workload to deal with. An intolerable one. She better give in to death than live to deal with him,” Kamala gossiped.

“We will leave them to nature and the Moon Goddess. She has the power to revive or end her. Until then, we will do nothing.” Kaylee's mind went to Katida's earlier suggestion. “Katida, do you want to get us killed? What were you thinking? Don't ever speak of it. Don't mention it.”

“I'm sorry. When it comes to Alpha Tyler, refusing him breaks my heart.”

“Better get rid of your little crush and come to terms with reality. He has a mate now. Your petty seduction and favoritism won't turn his attention to you.”

" He has a mate, but that doesn't mean I can't try. Mates sometimes mean nothing more than an arranged marriage. I can still win him over before she does.”

“If this craziness continues, and I sense it one more time, I will make sure to make it impossible for him to even glance at you.”

“Enough! You too! We have a lot on our plate already. Quarreling should be the last,” Kamala reprimanded. “Tame your emotions, Katida. If she survives, give up on your crazy obsession with the Alpha. You have to channel that energy into something resourceful, like finding your mate. As long as Tyler lives, we serve him as nothing more than his healers,” Kamala fumed, cutting the mindlink with her sisters. She glared at them and shook her head in despair.

Katida's mind was fixed, regardless of what her sisters said. This man was his, and if a dead girl stood as a threat, she will kill her again. Mate? That was a fancy word that meant nothing to fearless Katida. She would keep trying until she got accepted to warm the cold bed of Tyler every night. 

 Kaylee stepped back and her sisters followed. They created room for Tyler, who was restlessly stomping around the room. All they had to do now is wait and see if she will somehow make it or if her body will be buried.
