The Wolf Who Saved Me

In my head, what the hell? What is there for me to lose? Let me give this guy a chance to trust him because of what he did. I sighed before answering him.

“Sorry. My name is Wren Blevine. And you are?”

“Pleased to meet you, Wren. My name is Reule Conrad.”

I coughed when he mentioned his name. Reule Conrad is the Alpha of the Gray Pack. Almost everyone in the state fears Alpha Reule. He is said to be the strongest, heartless, and wise among all the leaders. He is also famous for being a womanizer and lustful among the Alphas.

“What happened?”

“Sorry. I just couldn’t believe that I was sitting face to face with the fearless Alpha Reule.”

“Oh! So, you are aware of the reputation that I have made for me.”

“Is it true?”

“Which one?”

“Everything.”

“I have trained to fight and survive on my own since I was young. If I wanted to live long, I had to be strong and heartless at times. But it doesn’t come without reason. And because of that, I gained the respect of most of the werewolves who know me.”

“What about the other rumors about you?”

“Which one?”

“Being.. a womanizer.”

He smirked. “Well, I love to give the women who come to me what they want. I am generous, I could say.”

“I don’t get it. How can women come to you? For what?”

He smiled again. “It’s up to you to discover.”

“Oh! I think I will pass on that.”

“You will be surprised at how much they love and want me.”

“I will let other women do that for you.”

He laughed and said, “So, Wren, why were you running? And who is Casper?”

“I was running from my pack. I belonged to the White Pack until five days ago when the new Alpha ordered killing my family and me if I disagreed with him. Casper got instructed to find me and bring me to Conri, the new Alpha. He just got crowned five days ago.”

“I have heard Conri took over after his father died. But why are you running from him? Did you do something?”

“Nothing except being different.”

“What do you mean different?”

“There has never been a wolf in my pack that cannot experience the fullness of being a werewolf. I am the only one. Since I have come to the right age, I only shifted to a full-blown wolf just once. It was on the first try. After that, I couldn’t do it anymore. I don’t feel the cycle of heat as well. So, they think I am the one bringing bad luck into the pack.”

“Hmm. I have heard rumors about you. I did not believe it at first, but now that you told me, I think some of the rumors were true.”

“My father was the best friend of Convell, Conri’s father. So, despite the request of the pack members to kill me, Convell would not allow it. He believes that I deserve to live for as long as I don’t do anything that endangers the entire pack. But Conri follows the suggestion of most of the pack members. He will only spare my family and me if I become his mistress. He wanted me for his personal use, and it angered my father. We tried to run, but since only four of us were there, my parents got killed trying to save my brother and me. My brother and I got separated. I don’t know how, where, or if he is still alive.”

I stopped eating. I felt like I wanted to cry. I missed my family, and now I will never see them.

“Conri was a coward. He should not follow what the pack members have to say right away. There should be a valid reason. The pack should follow him, not the other way around.”

I was surprised by what he said. I thought he would also agree that I am nothing but bad luck to the pack.

“He fears that the pack will revolt against him as he is not as strong as his father,” I courageously said since I feel like I found a man who understands me.

“I also believe so. But strong leadership starts by making firm and wise decisions. It is not only based on how good you are in fighting.”

“I am glad that I am not the only one who thinks that way.” I smiled after I said that because I meant it.

“You are beautiful when you smile. It would be best if you smiled more often,” Reule said.

It made me blush, and I got embarrassed. It had never happened to me. I hated the men on my previous pack because of how they treated me. But Reule is changing something inside me.

“What will you do now? For sure, Conri won’t stop looking for me.”

“Let him look for you. Let’s see if he can take you away from me.”

“What do you mean? Will you be protecting me for all your life?”

“If you would allow me to do that, I will.”

“But why would you do such a trouble?”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“I am a straightforward and honest man. So, I think I like you. I wanted you to be my mate so I won’t be alone. But I will not force you if you don’t like it. I will only ask for you to repay me for saving you and protecting you.”

My eyes widened. I started to feel uneasy. I feel like the man in front of me will change and begin to show his true colors.

“How can I repay you?” I mumbled.

Reule’s smile looks like he was a demon about to collect his payment. At that moment, I began to question which was worse, him or Conri.

“I cannot help it. I am a man with needs like Conri. So, I would like to have a night with you, just to taste you.”

I wanted to scream and run. What have I gone into? I escaped from Conri, but I am with another worse man than him. Why is it that every man just wants to take me to bed?

He looked at me, realizing that I did not like what he asked of me.

“If you don’t like either of my options. I will hand you over to Conri myself. I will not put myself and my pack at risk for someone my pack or I will not benefit from. You have two days to decide,” he said coldly. Then he stood and left me.
