13. I Was Right

I followed Elena to the place where trees were surrounding the whole area, no one was there except the four of us. Yeah four, Elena, Eva, me, and whoever was following us.

"You know someone is behind us, right?" She asked me and I nodded while keeping my finger on my lips, telling her to be quiet. I gave her the small kid who was asleep now. 

"You go, I will see whoever it is," I said to her and she walked inside the small house which was standing alone in this empty place. There was no sign of any other residence.

"You know you're not good at following someone without being noticed." I turned around just to encounter a strange face. 

In front of me was a guy, his small curly black hairs were a mess while he had a 5 o'clock shadow which was looking very ridiculous on him but what caught my attention were his eyes, dark red eyes. Was this some type of movie or something? Where a person would make himself look like a devil or ghost because he was appearing to be a cheap version of that.

"Who said I didn't want you to notice me?" He smiled which showed his dirty teeth and his dry lips were looking in very bad condition. 

'Poor lips.'

"Who are you?" I asked with all seriousness.

'A person you should laugh at.' My wolf replied but I just ignored her.

"You should leave this pack before something not so good happens." I looked at him with a raised brow.

"Like what?" I asked, but he just smiled.

"You should leave-" I cut him off and said, "Why!" He just kept repeating the same thing. Seemed like he wouldn't say anything else other than what the witch who was making him do this had told him to say.

"You won't be necessary now. Thanks for your warning." I said sarcastically and with one punch his face flew in the air and landed somewhere far away while his body was still standing in front of me. 

I have never seen anything like this but then again every new thing would happen the first time in life. He wasn't even bleeding, just a body without a head was left. I pushed it, maybe something will happen and it did, his body turned into nothing. Like, he just vanished but a paper appeared in front of me. 

A letter, a warning.

****

"So you mean to say that you followed Chloe and found her leaving the pack with a file even when she knew that Xavier, her son, was in the hospital?" I asked her and she nodded.

'Unbelievable! how can that bitch-.... witch do this?' My wolf was furious. 

'I think women like her just care about themselves. Selfish cunt.'  I wanted to strangle her. 

"But why were you snooping around?" I asked her as it was clear that it wasn't just a coincidence. 

"Umm...you see I don't want to lie to you and I don't know why. I don't like the old luna, she just gives me bad vibes. After I met you I heard her saying that you are a problem but she knows how to deal with it.

I felt something strange and so I kept an eye on her and found how she left the pack before the attack, she came for file...." She looked at me pleading not to tell this to any other soul.

"Don't worry Elena I won't tell this anyone. Take care of Eva and tell her I would like to play with her tomorrow." I strolled out of the house which I came to know was where they both lived. Their parents died three years ago when there was an attack on the pack. 

I walked toward the hospital room where Xavier was and saw Oliver with Sebastian who was hugging Mia, were standing outside the room. What exactly was going on? 

I ambled near them to see how worried they were.

"What happened?" I asked them and all three of them turned to me.

"Xavier, he woke up but..." Gemma trailed off.

"What?" I looked at all three of them wanting an answer from any one of them.

"He got a panic attack just after that and out of nowhere his mother came. She ordered us to get out." I didn't hear Mia anymore as I walked inside the room. 

'Can't leave our mate with his mother can we?' My wolf said with a smile.

'Of course not.' I entered on time to see his mother was trying to do something. One hand was on her son's chest and another one was on his forehead; she had her eyes closed which opened when I removed her hand from the male's chest.

"What are you doing?" She asked and snatched her hand away. I looked at my mate who was having a hard time breathing. 

"I would like you to leave," I told his mother nicely not wanting to argue with her, I wanted to help the guy first. 

"You-" She started angrily but I stopped her.

"OUT NOW!" My wolf was done with her and as she was a coward, she glared at me and walked outside. 

*******

I sat near Xavier as his friends, Beta and Oliver, were talking to him. Many people had already met him, telling him to get well soon and wishing him well.

After his mother left I helped him in calming down and asked a different doctor to look after him. Oliver told me that the doc has been working for a long time and was a reliable doctor.

"You missed a lot dude," Oliver said as I rolled my eyes because he was smiling at me. Gonna say something ridiculous, I knew him.

"She..." he pointed towards me, on which everyone looked at me and I fastly changed my face into a serious one as I was smiling previously, " actually become a good person to spend time with." He completed.

"Already knew would say something lame," I muttered but he heard it because of his wolf hearing.

"Hey! You are hurting me with you're words babe." This man, I knew he was doing this to annoy me as I didn't like this type of nickname, not from him at least.

"Really, baby?" I asked him because, well, I didn't know; I think I was just now used to this annoying man. It surprised everyone in the room because I never acted like this.

"Wow, what got into you, huh?" Gemma asked while walking toward me.

"Just getting used to your annoying ass," I replied which caused him to laugh.

"What the hell is going here? Are you seriously flirting with my mate in front of me?" Xavier asked both of us.

Oliver slung his hand on my shoulder as we both were of nearly the same height so it wasn't awkward.

"Chill dude, we are friends." He said and I removed his hand from my shoulder.

"Annoying friend," I said.

"But friend." His smile became bigger which made him look cute.

I felt a hand on my waist and Xavier pulled me toward him as I was at an arm's length distance from him.

"Okay enough." The night went like this, all of us talking and laughing because of Oliver or Mia's joke. But I didn't talk much with Beta and also kept my distance from Xavier, sure I cared about him but it would take time for me to be comfortable with him touching me. I think he understood it because he was okay with it.
