Take me home

Alpha Kelly’s Point of View

“Get hold of her immediately!” I screamed as I saw her lose consciousness. My whole body shivered—I didn’t want anything to happen to her. Before I could finish my words, one of my guards picked her up from the ground, and we headed straight to my Pack hospital.

“Give her immediate treatment! Nothing must happen to her!” The doctors and nurses immediately rushed to her. I ordered that she be treated urgently. Everyone was on deck, swiftly tending to her wounds.

“I’ve never seen Alpha Kelly in such a mood. The girl he rescued must be special to him,” I overheard two nurses whispering to each other, unaware that their voices were audible to me. But they were wrong—I just wanted to save her. When I first saw her, an unfamiliar feeling surged through me, something I’d never experienced before. It felt strange. Maybe this is what they talk about when you meet your mate.

“Hi, darling! You’re here! I heard you saved a girl in the jungle, so I came to check on you both!” The voice was unmistakable—my fiancée, Calia. Before I could say anything, she wrapped her arms around me. I wasn’t in the mood.

“Honey? Kelly? Are you okay?” she asked, and though I wasn’t in the mood to comfort her, I opened my arms to return her hug.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” I muttered, but before I could finish, she walked away.

“I need to see the girl you saved that’s put you in this horrible mood!” she called over her shoulder. I hadn’t realized my mood had shifted so noticeably. Less than five minutes later, Calia returned, but this time her demeanor was different. She looked somber, and it made me wonder why she had suddenly changed.

“I hope you return her to where you found her once she wakes up,” she said coldly, leaving without her usual hug or peck. Strangely, I didn’t feel the need to question her sudden shift in attitude. My thoughts were consumed by the girl I found among the animals—an Alpha wolf. I wanted her to recover so I could learn where she came from. Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching.

“Hi, Alpha Kelly,” Dr. Kent greeted me with a cheerful tone, which made me hopeful. “She lost a lot of blood, but she’s conscious now, and I—”

“I need to see her immediately!” I interrupted and dashed toward the room before he could finish. She was lying there, wrapped in white linen. I couldn’t deny that she was beautiful, a sight that stirred something unfamiliar in me. As I moved closer, I didn’t realize I had taken her hand in mine.

“I feel different whenever I’m near you. I feel... strange,” I whispered as her eyes fluttered open. We locked eyes, sharing a moment I couldn’t quite explain. I had never seen anyone like her before. She was an Alpha, from some unknown kingdom.

“Why am I here? Where are my friends and family? Where are the animals?” she demanded fiercely, as though she had forgotten what happened.

“I don’t know. We found you in the jungle,” I replied. She clutched her head, as if in pain.

“Oh, I remember now! You monster, you ordered your guards to shoot me and my family. You killed my best friend. I’ll never forgive you! Take me back to where I belong!” she cried, tears streaming down her face. I didn’t know what she meant by her best friend being killed, but I remembered seeing her surrounded by animals, commanding them like a queen. When our eyes met, she shifted into a magnificent Alpha wolf, which was why I ordered my guards to capture her. I wanted to apologize, to explain I hadn’t meant to harm her, but I was speechless.

“Doctor! Please attend to her,” I called out, still feeling the weight of her sorrow. Exhausted and hungry, I headed back to my packed house for something to eat. The dining table was already set, and without bothering to shower, I sat down to eat. Just then, my mother walked in.

“We heard you saved a girl. Who is she? Calia asked, "You seem to be very engrossed in this new girl. Be careful, Kelly. Your wedding to Calia is only three months away, and I don’t want anything jeopardizing our family’s bond with the Moonlight Pack. Calia is your Luna-to-be, and you must be cautious,” my mother, Luna Veevee, warned. I was stunned. I couldn’t believe Calia had told her such things after everything we’d been through. I was angry, but I held it in.

“Mum, I saved a poor girl. I couldn’t just let her die in the jungle,” I explained, already feeling irritated.

“Well, I’m bringing her here tonight. I’ll take care of her until she’s healed, and then I’ll return her to the jungle where I found her,” I declared firmly, standing up from my seat. I had lost my appetite. Calia was seriously underestimating how much I loved her.
