The Darling Of The Alpha
Chapter 30

Camila Albora

A pain runs through my chest while I’m touching up my makeup in the bathroom. I let out a scream and bring my hand to the place where it feels like a sharp object is piercing it. I try to regularize my breathing and I see some images pass by for a few seconds, it’s like I’m looking through someone’s eyes when I close mine.

A huge white wolf, Bruno, is being pierced by an arrow and part of his fur is stained with his b***d. Everything goes back to how it was before, I look at myself with horror in the mirror as I come out of the trance I entered, no, this can’t be happening.

“Xander,” I whisper, quickly leaving the bathroom and pushing everyone in my way until I can get out of the house. I look everywhere looking for my safety until I see them in a corner—Samuel!—I shout and he is immediately in front of me with a worried expression.

“Luna, what’s going on?” They ask worriedly, looking for the threat.

“They attacked Xander,” I tell them, watching as his eyes change color.

—Teo! —He exclaims. “Take charge of taking the moon to the mansion,” he orders, he nods.

“No, I need to be with Xander,” she announced, looking at him desperately.

“But moon…

” “But nothing Samuel,” he interrupted, he only released a sigh to transform into his gray wolf, he crouched down and I climbed onto his back.

I listen as Teo transforms into his brown wolf the same size as Samuel, I hold on to his fur and he runs into the forest. I just hope that Xander is okay. “Moon Goddess, protect him,” I ask in my mind.

(…)

We have been trying to replace Xander and the boys for about fifteen minutes, they have already contacted the royal guards to start the search, we couldn’t replace him and that terrifies me. We are at the limits of the pack, I am desperate.

—Xander, where are you?—I ask in a whisper, touching my chest and wishing with all my might that the images would come back and show me where my beloved alpha is. I inhale deeply and concentrate on sharpening my senses with which I can hear the sound of a river nearby, footsteps of the boys a few meters away from me and also Heartbeats?… I concentrate on that sound, it is weak, but I can hear it.

I start to follow him and they take me to some large bushes, and that’s where the sound comes from.

»Xander! – I scream horrified when I see his body behind the bushes, I quickly kneel next to him. I look at how the arrow is still buried in his shoulder, I touch his face and look at his naked body in search of any other wound, but there is nothing.

—Luna!—I hear Samuel calling me worried.

—This way!—I shout and within seconds I have them at my side.

“By the goddess!” he exclaims. “We must take him to the mansion, let us know so that a doctor will wait for us there,” he informs, looking behind some bushes from where he takes out a backpack from which he removes a blanket, he approaches and we cover Xander’s nakedness.

Samuel very carefully places Xander on Teo’s back and transforms to get him up, but I can’t leave, since I can catch a trace very close, maybe he is responsible for this.

—Take care of taking him to the mansion. I will look for whoever is responsible for this,” I order her without any expression while anger bubbles within my body, she looks at me with concern and shakes her wolfish head. “It’s an order!” I shout and he looks at me for a second and then looks at Teo.

I hear a low growl from him, but then he sets off with Teo, to take Xander to the mansion, I sigh when I know they are not around, I hope nothing bad happens to my beloved alpha.

I close my eyes for a few seconds, I concentrate on hiding my aroma and then I feel a sting in my eyes which tells me that they are no longer the typical brown color, but now they are honey colored, but with a brighter touch almost reaching touch the gold

I am a hunter and I will hunt down my prey.

(…)

The trail of the person who attacked Xander took me out of the pack to take me to no man’s territory, but it seems that the one who attacked He took the edge of my dress and tore it so that it wouldn’t get in my way during the fight, I walked carefully until I was at the back of the house. I watch through the window as the subject is lying on the kitchen floor with a first aid kit next to him.

Unhappy, with all my strength I kick the door, he gets up from the ground and places himself in an attack position, he looks at me with a frown and looks me up and down and then looks at my eyes which are identical to his.

“What do you want, hunter?” He asks, looking a little more relaxed when he sees that I am his species.

“Why did you attack the wolf?” I ask dryly, I need to get information before killing him, since I’m not going to take him hostage, he doesn’t deserve to live.

—Well, that’s what we do, right? “I hunted those disgusting beasts, but that unfortunate man attacked me and I managed to escape alive at least,” she tells me naturally, causing the rage to increase even more.

“Well, I inform you that you got the wrong wolf,” I comment, closing my fists. I quickly approach him and slam my leg into his abdomen, sending him to the floor because of how weak he is, he complains.

“D-damn,” she gasps, touching his abdomen and looking at me with anger. “What’s wrong with you, crazy?” “Question.”

“I’m not like that,” he murmured, taking a dagger that was on the table. “I’m not a monster,” I add, stabbing the dagger into his leg, and he lets out a cry of pain.

“You’re one of my kind… they’re beasts, they’re not natural,” he whispers, trying to convince me.

“Yes, I am your species, but that wolf you attacked is the man I love,” I claim, taking out the dagger. —If they hurt him. “Then they’ll have to deal with me too,” she informed.

“From today, you are an enemy to the hunters, since that dog is the son of the alpha king and we will not allow him to ascend to the throne,” he announces, taking advantage of my surprise to kick me in the chest.

“I’ve never been an ally,” she murmured, getting up from the floor with agility and it’s not for nothing that I’m the best in my classes. She threw the dagger towards his head and it hit his forehead, killing him immediately.

I look at everything around me and a book on the entry table catches my attention, I take it and walk to the dining room where there are several photos of Xander leaving the company.

“Damn, they’ve got him under surveillance,” I think.

I heard movement outside and took a bow with its arrows that was on the table, I prepared it and left the house with all my senses active looking for where the sound came from. Then a branch being stepped on warns me of enemies and I’m heading towards the place, but I put it down immediately when I see that it is Carlo who comes out of the forest, I sigh.

“For God’s sake, Carlos, I was about to open your chest with one of these,” I announce and he denies, since he knows I can be deadly with one of them. “How is Xander doing?” I ask worriedly when he is next to me. side.

—The alpha is bad, moon—my heart races. “The arrow that pierced him was poisoned and it was a very strange poison,” he looks worried.

“Here I found the hunter, I think we should search the house and look for some infusion, since no one leaves without carrying an antidote nearby,” he nods.

(…)

An hour searching the house and we only found a small chest, with several green liquids, I hope that in one of them there is a possible cure and there is also the book that I found on the table, but nothing that is in those The bottle suggests that they will serve to counteract the poison they used on the arrow.

“I think we should go back to Luna,” he suggests and I nod, taking the chest and the book. I look at the hunter’s inert body and feel guilty for seeing him killed, I didn’t think with a cool head and now maybe Xander’s life is at risk because that man may be the only one who knows about the remedy to cure him. “It’s nothing, moon, you did the right thing,” he tells me, touching my shoulder. I don’t feel better with his words, but I still nod and we leave the house. Carlos transforms and I climb on his back.

(…)

I enter the house with the chest in hand and run down the stairs until I replace Xander’s parents and Parker in the hallway, they look at me with concern.

“Girl, for God’s sake,” says Lora, Xander’s mother, seeing my clothes all dirty with mud. “How could you put your life at risk?” She questions, you can tell she was very worried and hugs me.

“I can’t help myself with my arms crossed,” she murmured, leaving my face in her neck.

“Please don’t do something like that again,” she asks and I nod, looking at Xander’s father Albert, expecting a lecture.

“I know you’re well trained and that’s why I won’t ask you for anything,” he announces, giving me a small smile.

“Where is she?” I question.

“She’s in his room, she’s unconscious and the doctor is with him, but she says she’s in a very delicate state,” you can see the concern in Parker’s voice when he says that.

“I need you to investigate what these liquids could be,” I ask, showing the chest. Parker approaches and takes it to take them to the hospital. I hear the door to the room open and Dr. Alex comes out.

“How do you see it, doctor?” I ask worried.

—His condition is critical, he is weakening with every second that passes, I don’t know what kind of poison they used to bring him to that state and as we know, Xander is not a normal alpha and of all this, I have very little idea what he They did it because we need to do something urgently, I don’t know if I’ll survive tonight.
