I can’t help but feel nauseous. I ran towards the window and threw up. I felt two tiny hands rubbing my back after a few minutes and no matter how sick I feel rembering whatever Amara said, I am still happy that dee is safe.
"Go and find the person who shot that arrow" I heard Reed’s voice.
"Are you alright, addy?" he asked in concern and removed the hairs from my face... {How can soone even think to hurt him?}... I looked at his neck and found a tiny burnt wound there.
"I think this is yours" Reed ca towards and extended one of my silver knives toward ... {She should have taken it from my room}... I nodded and took the knife from him. "Do you want so?" He extended a water bottle towards which I accepted gladly.
"Thank you, Reed, for today. Can you mind link Ryan and tell him that the Amara is not Amara she is shira?" a few confused creases appeared on his forehead. I was about to explain more to him but his eyes beca blurry and I knew that without questioning anything he did what I asked him to do.
"I inford him. He is asking if you can et him at pack’s hospital. They took Shira there and he also asked if you are fine. I inford him that you are fine. I have already sent the warriors behind whoever shot that arrow. I will inform Alpha about whatever we will find and I am sending her body to the mortuary", he said while pointing towards the dead body of Amara. I nodded, took Dee in my arms and stood up from my place. He encircled his arms around my neck and legs around my torso.
"I am going to take him with today, Reed. Is anyone hurt? And where is Owen?" I asked him.
"No one’s hurt. She ca through the window and today morning Owen fell on his face and broke his first tooth. So, he was in the dical wing that ti" he answered.
"Ok, I am going" dee suddenly removed his hands from my neck, cupped my face and made look at him.
"Wait, can we please take Owen with us, addy?" he asked innocently and tilted his head cutely... {You need to ask Ryan first}
"How about we will first go and et him? After that, I need to take permission from Alpha and if he will allow then we will take him with us" I told him and he nodded.
"You can’t take any kid with you without their parent’s permission and I think you are also forgetting that the kids are going to go on a trip. I think that Owen should rest for today." Reed said in an emotionless tone but I can’t help but agree with him. Dee is still looking at in hope.
"He got a point, Dee," I told him and he pouted "co on, don’t act like this. Do you want Owen to be in pain when all the other kids will enjoy their trip?" I asked him and he sighed dramatically.
"Fine, let’s go." he again encircled his arms around my neck and put his head on my shoulder.
"Thanks, reed," I told him and with Dee’s help, I finally ca out of the hostel. As soon as I stopped in front of Ryan’s bike Dee literally jumped from my arms.
"Careful Dee" I scolded him and put him down on the ground. His mouth is wide open in surprise.
"You ca here on this" he was just continuously looking at the bike "Are we going back on this?" he is looking beyond excited... {obeviously he will be excited. You were also excited when you rode the bike for the very first ti}
"Shit I forgot the helt"... {it seems like I rembered it a lot later than I should have}... I took Dee and placed him on the bike while I sat behind him... {I can’t take the risk of making him sit behind . What if he falls on the ground? Anyway, this is the first ti that he is sitting on the bike}...
"Fine, hold the handle from here and don’t move a lot. Ok" I told him and he did the sa while I started the bike and rode it to the hospital all the way at 30kmph. When I took him down, Dee had a wide toothy smile on his face. "You liked it, didn’t you?" I asked him and he nodded cheekily "let’s go" I extended my hand to take his hand in mine but he shook his head "what now?"
"Lift up in your arms. I am hurt, addy. Did you forget this?" he asked in a scolding tone and I can’t help but laugh... {I am still astonished that he is not crying because of that wound. I know it is not that serious but I do know that it is surely hurting him not that much but yes surely hurting him}... I took him in my arms and this ti he didn’t encircle his arms around my neck but he was looking all around the place. I was about to go to the reception desk when I found Ben talking with Anshuman and going in a particular direction.
"Ben" I called for him and both of them stopped "Where is gramma? How is she?" The last question is more for Anshuman than for ben.
"Physically, she is alright but ntally not" this made more confused and he sighed "She is in a coma. They have done sothing very strong to her brain. Wizardry, hypnosis, magic, weed I don’t know what it is but we can’t help. This is her fight now, if she wins, she will gain consciousness and if not then she will remain in a coma"
"Where are others?" I asked Ben this ti.
"Pack borders. Ryan sent his warriors outside the pack for information and they confird we indeed are under attack when you sent the ssage but due to so reasons they retreated and didn’t even enter the pack.
"Why don’t you send this little kid with ? I am sure that he needed to put so dicine on that wound on his neck" Anshuman said this ti and dee tightened his hold around . {I want him to be in front of my eyes for now}
"How about, you will treat his wound in the cabin in which gramma is? I don’t want him to be far from right now" Dee took a relieving breath on this and Anshuman nodded.
"Fine, let’s go there. Ryan would also be there in a few minutes now. Others will take care of the matter in hand" ben said and we followed him. When we entered the room I found her lying unconscious on the bed while a few machines were connected to her body. I placed Dee on the nearby stool and Anshuman went towards him. Dee is looking scared but he is trying hard to act like he is not a kid.
"You can tell him to stop if you will feel pain, Dee," I told him and he nodded nervously. I went towards gramma, she is looking extrely sick and weak, she has dark circles under her eyes, her hair is all grey now and she seems to lose a lot of weight... {Well, what did you expect? She was in dungeons and don’t forget those cut marks on her hands that you gave her}
"Sorry" I can’t help but feel guilty "I will kill that bastard, I promise gramma"
The door of the room opened and Ryan entered the room. As soon as he saw he ran towards and engulfed in a bone-crushing body-squeezing hug and lifted off my feet. "I am telling you last ti, Chicky. One more stupidity, and you will be grounded for a month." I wriggled in his hold.
"I told you not to call Chicky, Ryan", I whined, but his hold was still tight around . "Ryan, I can’t breathe" he loosened his grip around , and I took a much-needed breath.
"You are fine, right" he finally let go and looked at for any type of injury, and I rolled my eyes. We heard Dee’s giggle when Ryan’s focus shifted towards him. He dashed towards him in panic.
"What happened to him?" he asked Anshuman and raised dee from his stool, then sat on it and placed dee on his lap "What happened, champ?" he asked, clearly looking extrely worried.
"Nothing serious, alpha, just got a little injured in the fight" I was surprised to hear Dee’s words and his confidence... {it seed like he indeed was taking his wound as a prize}
"Anything serious, uncle," he asked doctor Anshuman, and the doctor smiled at dee.
"Nothing serious, just a light scratch from a silver knife. I removed the silver from the wound, but as our little champ has not got his wolf till now, it will take a few days to heal the wound completely," he said and extended a lollipop towards him "that’s for being a good boy" Dee looked at for permission. I nodded, and he happily took the lollipop from his hand and said a cute thank you.
"Did you know about Shira being Amara and Amara being Shira?" I asked Ryan, and he rubbed his temples.
"Yeah, we have gotten ourselves in so very serious shit this ti."
"You had gotten yourself in so very serious shit when you decided to take here in your pack. I was already in a ss from the ti I was born. My parents were killed to save , my gramma is in this condition because she wanted to save , your pack is getting attacked because they wanted , and today, they even dared to hurt my Dee" I am fed up with all this now.
"Don’t say anything if you are going to force to send you sowhere where you will not be safe." I rolled my eyes at Ryan’s statent.
"Of course not. My parents and my gramma have sacrificed so much for ... only to save my life. I am not going to disappoint them, but I will surely kill that man for sure," I told him, and a cute smile ca on Ryan’s face.
"Oh, finally, I got a thrilling case to work on," Ben said in excitent, and Anshuman rolled his eyes at this.
"Yeah, every serious case seems to be interesting to this fu**er," Anshuman said.
"Language, uncle," Ryan said sternly, and Dee was listening to everything very seriously.
"I think Dee and I should go ho now. I am tired," I said, and Ryan stopped .
"Did you forget that you have punishnt to fulfil?" ... {he can’t be serious}.
"You can’t be serious, Ryan; I just helped your pack to stop a rogue attack", I pointed out, and he raised an eyebrow.
"They stopped themselves. You didn’t stop them." {Can I just please punch his handso face?}
"They stopped because I foiled their plan by stopping Amara from reaching them with dee."
"They already had plan B also. They were planning to ambush the bus in which kids are going for the trip."
"How do you know that?"
"We caught the n who shot Amara."
"Is he alive?" he didn’t say anything about this. "don’t tell that you have killed that man."
"It’s not my mistake, ok? He is one of the rogues. I was already frustrated that you rode the bike without even wearing a helt and that Shira and Amara confusion, and then that assassination of Amara, and then that stoppie.. wait, why were you doing stunts without wearing a helt?" he stood up and put dee on the stool and towered above ... {the nerve of this man}.
"So, what... being irritated is not a reason to kill anyone."
"That man was a rogue."
"He should have so information about that beast", I shouted in irritation.
"He didn’t have any other information. Are you questioning my interrogating skills?" he is looking irritated now. "I am the alpha..." before he completed that annoying sentence, I poked my finger on his chest, and he took a step backwards.
"Don’t you dare" I again poked my finger on his chest, and he again took a few steps back. "Don’t you dare to use that alpha king card against . I will not tolerate any kind of your ego satisfaction lines anymore." he fell on the sofa that was placed against the wall as he was constantly moving behind, and I put my left leg on the sofa at his right side. "Use that line one more ti in front of , and I will kick that pretty ass of yours. Did you understand?" I don’t know what got into , but I am glad that I behaved like that. He gulped audibly and nodded.
"Woah", I heard two woah’s at the sa ti, and that’s when my attention went towards the other three people that were present in the room. Ben and Anshuman were sitting on the floor on either side of the dee, both of them were covering Dee’s ears with one hand, and all three of them were eating chocolates while listening to our conversation with utmost interest.
"What are you doing?" I asked three of them and turned towards them while Ryan cleared his throat, got up from the sofa, and stood beside .
"You are aweso," Ben said in awe, and Anshuman nodded.
"Did addy say any bad word?’’ Dee removed both of their hands, and they shook their heads negatively. "I knew it," he looked at proudly.
"No, but we can take precautions. The way she looked mad, I was positive that she was going to curse so wonderful words" this was Anshuman.
"I was trying to make him shut his mouth like this for a long ti now. Finally, you did this" Ben wiped his imaginary tears dramatically.
"You should know that we can’t make her mad, Alpha. She becos a dangerous addy from my addy," Dee said as if that was a rule, "but it’s alright, you don’t know the rules till now. Here," he took a chocolate from his pocket, jumped from the stool, and ran towards Ryan "Take this. You are a big boy, don’t cry. Addy didn’t an to hurt you. She just becos mad whenever soone tries to control her every ti" he placed the chocolate in his hand and ca towards .
"You should not be so strict, addy. He was trying to protect you," he said to and waited for to acknowledge him... {Only Dee has the power to make speechless}
I took a few deep breaths and smiled at him, "Sorry". I said to Ryan, and Dee looked at him in hope, but when he didn’t say anything, I looked at him. He has the sa expressions as a lost puppy who doesn’t know what to do. I can’t help but smile at his expression "he needs you to say sorry" when I said this, he instantly said sorry, and dee seed to be content with all this.
"That’s like my’’ he stopped for a minute and thought deeply, "Addy, what’s the word you used in school," he asked .
"Guardian?"
He nodded, and his eyes twinkled. "Yes, that’s like my guardians," he said and hugged both of our legs, and Ryan looked at in question... {he was looking overwheld} ...
"You can’t ignore his love now," I said to him, and I heard soone sniffling. I looked at Ben and found Anshuman and him both wiping their imaginary tears... {why am I feeling content while being with all of them?}
"Moon goddess, please keep both of them safe", I heard Dee’s voice, but what startled was that he didn’t say anything. I looked at Ryan in question and found him already looking at in horror... {Did he just mind-linked us?}
"Dee, look at ," I told him, and he raised his head towards us, and both of us gasped as Dee’s grey eyes turned hazel and are glowing.
