Mated To Alpha Kessler

Who could have done this wicked thing and dumped her here? She is brutally wounded, beyond recognition. My heart aches for her. Whatever may have happened to her isn’t friendly and should be thoroughly investigated. It’s heartbreaking to see her in such a state. She’s already in labor and has been dumped at our pack’s border.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Get the medics now!” I scream, worried about what might happen next if she isn’t attended to in good time. I rush to her side. I can feel her pain, and I can’t bear to see her suffer like this. I pray that the medics arrive swiftly to ensure both her safety and that of the unborn. Each passing moment feels like an eternity.

I look at Alpha Kessler. His emotions are unreadable. I notice a subtle shift in his expression. His jaw tightens, and his eyes have a hint of sadness. It’s clear that despite his stoic facade, he’s deeply affected by Annie’s situation. The medics arrive in no time, and she is wheeled to the pack hospital where she will be attended to. I follow the medics to the hospital because I want to make sure the baby and the mother are well taken care of.

I can’t imagine being in this condition, where I have to fear for the survival of my child. I know she wasn’t so nice to me with all she put me through, but I can’t be inhuman and be happy seeing her in that condition. In no time, we are at the pack hospital as the doctors swing into action to save both mother and child. I can hear the medical equipment beeping and the hurried footsteps of the staff as they work to save Annie and her unborn baby. My thoughts are a jumble of hope and fear, praying for a positive outcome.

“I’ll stay with her,” I say to Daniel, the pack doctor. He gives me a sympathetic look and says, “I’m sorry, Lyra. It’s complicated. We can’t let you stand by and watch. I advise you to stay in the corridor.” I nod in understanding as I step out of the room, pacing and hoping for a miracle.

I notice Alpha Kessler walking towards me. He engulfs me in a hug, and I warm up to his embrace as he smooths my back. He lifts my face, looking at me. “You care too much, despite all she has done to you.” I am taken aback by what he says. I point to the door I came out from and tell him, “That could be me, and I would hope against hope to find someone to care for me likewise. I know she has put me through a lot, but I feel I have to be concerned for her safety.”

“That’s your Luna instinct at work,” he says, looking into my eyes for any reaction. “I’m not Luna. I’m just concerned like everyone should be, seeing her in that condition.” Alpha Kessler nods, “It’s not about titles, Lyra. It’s about the heart. And yours is filled with kindness, regardless of past grievances. And soon, you will be Luna.”

“I… I…” I stammer, but he hushes my mouth with his finger and says, “Don’t think too far. Let the will of the Moon Goddess be done.” I feel a shiver run down my spine as his words leave me speechless. Is he proposing that I become the Luna of his pack? I doubt I’ll be able to function in that role. I had wanted to be Luna before, but with all the drama that has happened to me, I find myself no longer wishing for it.

I notice some worry lines on his face, indicating that he’s deeply concerned about Annie’s situation. His expression prompts me to ask, “What do you think might have happened to her?” Alpha Kessler sighs, his gaze distant as he considers the possibilities. “I’ve been trying to picture many scenarios that could be responsible for her present state, but I can’t pinpoint one. Let’s wait for the doctor’s reports.” I nod in agreement as we wait.

Suddenly, my stomach growls loudly, earning a smirk from Alpha Kessler. “I’ll get you something to eat,” he says with a chuckle as he stands up and heads out to find food. “I appreciate it,” I mutter softly as I watch Alpha Kessler’s back leaving. However, as I stand there, a familiar ringing fills my ears, urging caution. “Don’t trust him. Don’t let your guard down. He has no good intentions towards you.”

I clench my fists, trying to block out the voice, but it persists, growing louder. Fear creeps in as I worry this might be a scary episode, triggering memories I have been trying to suppress. I try to stay in control, determined not to give in to the voice, but I’m startled when I feel a light tap on my shoulder.

I look up and see Alpha Kessler’s concerned eyes looking at me. “Are you okay?” he asks, his tone wary, as if unsure of my reply. I can’t explain my emotions; I just feel like I want to be far away from him, as if I see him as an enemy. He tilts my face up, making me look into his eyes. “What happened while I was away?” he asks.

I shake my head, trying to clear the series of thoughts running through it. “He’s an enemy and not to be trusted.” I take a deep breath, trying to steady myself before answering. “I’m… I’m… Can you please just stay away from me?” I say to him, avoiding his gaze. I can sense that he’s uncomfortable as he shifts from one foot to the other, contemplating whether he should heed my request or not.

His hand drops from my face as he takes a step back, his face a shadow of disappointment. He motions to the food he has in hand and drops it while he walks out. I can sense his displeasure. I didn’t want to be rude to him with my outburst because the voice took a different pattern today.

I rest my head for some time, and after a few minutes, I start to feel better. I look at the food he brought for me. He brought a gourmet burger with melted cheese and a side of crispy fries, accompanied by iced tea. I love that he goes all out when it comes to food. I settle down and start digging into the meal; it’s delicious.

As I eat, I can’t help but feel bad about how I let him leave earlier. But, I also believe it was the best decision, as I don’t want to complicate the relationship we’ve been trying to build. The food manages to lift my spirits, distracting me from what just happened. I appreciate Alpha Kessler’s gesture and the effort he puts into caring for those around him.

But the question is, has he given me any reasons to doubt him? He rescued me from Jack and Annie, brought me back to the pack, and has been consistently good to me. He has proven himself time and time again that he is to be trusted. So, I won’t let the voice sway me into doing what is not right. Jack hasn’t called me. I guess he has found another means to his devious act. As soon as I munch on the last piece of my food, the doctor steps out.

I stand up abruptly to hear what he has to say about Annie. “Is she alright?” I ask in a panic. “Calm down, Lyra. We are doing our best,” the doctor reassures me. “Where is Alpha?” he asks, searching all around. “He is…” I start to reply, but my words trail off when I hear his voice nearby. “I’m here,” he says, stepping in to meet the doctor. He doesn’t even glance my way, and my heart sinks as I witness him converse with the doctor. I don’t register all they’re saying, but suddenly the last part of their conversation catches my attention.
