The Wolf In Me

Part 1 Cold blood

Mei's pov

My gaze was on Steph's sleeping face, looking worriedly at her. She was never interested in training and protecting herself, and part of it was her father's fault. Violence was all she endured as a child and she always made sure to avoid encountering danger which triggered memories of her monstrous dad.

Knowing that she adored children, especially my son, she would do anything for him, even go against her nature. She helped save his life and this is how she got repaid.

"Mei," she groaned, feeling my presence, still with her eyes closed.

"Shh, I'm here dear. Don't worry. I am going to stay by your side."

"Is he safe?" She asked in a whisper.

"Yes, Steph. You saved his life. You and the whole pack are his heroes."

She barely opened her eyes to look at me, forming a faint smile. Reaching for my hand, I felt her cold fingers on my skin.

"Last time you saved my life. Year's later you saved the pack from the vampires. Later on, you did your best to save the world from the demons that walked this earth. You deserve to have our loyalty, luna." She mumbled softly, looking weak with all the prescribed drugs she had, preventing her from feeling pain. Her wound was wrapped in white gauze, stopping the blood from making its way out.

I smiled and looked into her beautiful brown eyes.

"It's part of my duty as one," I pressed my hands around hers, "You need to rest baby girl. When your wound heals I want you to start training immediately. It's in your best interest. Now sleep and let yourself into a beautiful dream."

She closed her eyes, taking one deep breath, then slowly exhaling, trying to put herself into slumber.

I stayed there for a few hours, watching the doctors and nurses checking her wound, making sure there was no infection and that it was healing well.

"It seems like it is getting better. Her wolf is healing her fast. She is lucky the knife did not touch her vital organs," one doctor said, raising her eyebrows.

Observing her, she was thin and tall and had the sweetest character. Looking confident with her job, she eyed me with her green eyes for a moment, sensing that I was quietly watching her. I must have made her feel nervous as she shifted herself in a way to cover her work in process from me.

"What's your name, doctor?" I asked softly.

"Nia," she answered, smiling at me, still closing Steph's wound with a new clean gauze.

"Thank you, Nia. You are the best."

She nodded and left the room to visit her next patient.

Gazing outside the window, I wondered if Luka has managed to figure out the agenda behind the attacks. After hours of waiting for his return from the dungeons, he showed up by the hospital door looking exhausted. He looked at Steph, nodding at me. He wanted to check on her, but she was asleep. I nodded back and smiled faintly, turning my eyes towards her, taking one last glimpse before walking out to get updated in regards to the present matter.

"We have discovered everything Mei," he started, glancing at me as we walked towards our bedroom.

"Well?" I locked eyes with him, closing the door behind us.

"The enchantress and her magic did the trick. She is brilliant. I wonder how it feels like being in someone's mind. She explained in detail what is behind everything. If only you were there," he said, placing his family heirloom necklace on the dressing table.

"No one would be able to find out anything, because if I saw both of them, they would wish they were already dead."

My eyes turned deep yellow at the thought of them having my child in their grasp as my voice deepened with turmoil.

"They already thought about wishing that. Their site made me lose my temper and I almost granted their wish, but I subsided, knowing that everyone would still be in danger if we don't get anything out of their capture."

I puffed, moving towards the seven days cabinet, searching for my pyjamas. I pulled out the red one, placing it on the bed, ready for when I get out of the shower.

"Dr Paul Write. Sounds familiar does it?" He waited for my reply as I stared at him for a moment, grasping in the name.

"How's he still,"

"Alive?" he said, continuing my sentence.

"He was pronounced dead years ago after his project was shut down by authorities. They said he was shot or possibly shot himself."

"Well... and now he lives again. And guess what? The project was still ongoing even after authorities shut it down. He managed to make a load full of discoveries, including cloning, mimicking a werewolf's gene, placing it into humans allowing them to become like us. Luckily for us, that project is still under testing. Imagine Mei, if he manages to succeed, the things we end up into because of him."

My eyes gazed at the void, thinking all about what Luka said, and wondered how the human world is capable of such barbaric acts. No wonder the world is on edge. I placed my head under the showerhead, turning it on. Feeling frustrated I growled, punching against the wall.

"Mei, is everything ok?" Luka asked, hearing my punch.

Luka's POV

"I'm fine," she shouted back from the bathroom.

Knowing her she must have been frustrated by the fact that she couldn't get rid of our enemies in an instant. I slowly walked towards Mason's bed, checking on him after Melody returned him from some playtime with the other children in the pack already sleeping in her arms.

"So what is happening next?" Mei asked, walking out of the bathroom all wet, with just a towel around her waist.

The haze was getting its way into my emotions as I gaped at her full breasts and her small baby bump. She felt my intense lust for her and started to tease me by slowly walking back towards the bathroom, winking at me to follow her. My eyes widened at her invitation and slowly walked my way into the bathroom, closing the door behind me.

She has already lost the towel from her waist uncovering her curves, locking eyes. Quivering from a light touch of her finger going down my chest, I lost my breath and felt like I was intoxicated by her sweet venom. She roughly removed the belt around my waist, making her way into my underwear.

I quarrelled between choosing to help her undress me and touching her delicate skin. Free from all the layers of clothing, I clenched her arms and moved her against the wall, making her gasp at its coldness. I showered her with kisses on her cheeks lips and moved down on the soft spot of her neck. She gasped at my touch, curving her back, allowing me to move my arms around her waist, pressing our skin together.

She pushed herself away from the wall, moving me back and motioned for me to lean on the bathroom carpet. We kissed and made love to each other like never before, until we were disturbed by Mason's voice behind the door, wanting to use the toilet.

Hurriedly we dressed and opened the door to see him eyeing us with a frown on his face, upset we took our time to come out. Closing the door behind him, we chuckled at his reaction, realising how much he has grown.

"Can't wait to have our second," Mei said softly, smiling at her belly, caressing it.

"It is a blessing to be able to have you, my family around all the time, enjoying every moment of us together. I promise you, Mei, I will fight for you, and the pack until death takes me. I am working to have a better future for all of us, especially our children. I don't want them to suffer as we did."

She took my warm hands and looked me in the eyes, smiling peacefully as she looked grateful.

"I am proud of you, you know that," she said, touching my hair.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door which made us both turn in surprise. I stood up to open it to find Lylah behind the door all bloody and with a broken arm.

"What happened?" I asked wide-eyed.

"I'm sorry to disturb alpha, but we have an urgent situation."
