The Wolf Who Saved Me

At the kitchen a few minutes back…

“Rolito, how are you feeling? I wanted to make sure that you are okay after what had happened last night?” Nana Lolita asked, looking worried.

“Nana, I am okay. You know it just comes and goes only,” Reule replied.

“I know that. I have witnessed it since you were young. Your parents got stressed and died because of it. I am worried about you dying. Last night, it was stronger and longer than usual.”

“Yes, I noticed that, too. Usually, it happens twice a year when the season changes, but last night was the third one.”

“That also! What happened that you had an attack like that? I used to think that it was the season affecting you, but with last night I don’t know the cause anymore.”

Reule was silent first before answering, “I also don’t know it was the first time it happened. After speaking in front of the pack last night, I started to feel that my hands were beginning to feel numb. I immediately left because I knew it was about to happen. I reached the painting studio, and they began shaking like crazy I could not hold anything. But it suddenly stopped, and I thought I was okay. So, I went out of the studio, and I saw Wren standing in front of her room. We chatted a little, and I excused myself when I felt like it was coming back. I was about to faint while opening the door of my room. Wren almost saw it, but I was glad that I pushed myself inside before she turned to look at me. I immediately drop to the floor, and that’s when I send a voice message to you and Landon. I know after a few minutes, I would not be able to move.”

“Your entire body got paralyzed. Landon had to turn on the music when you started groaning in pain, and then you were gone. You were literary dead because your heart stopped for two minutes, Reule. What used to be only for a few seconds now turned to two minutes.”

Nana Lolita started sobbing before continuing in saying, “We feel so helpless. We could not do anything but just massage your body, hoping it will bring you back. For a moment, I thought that I had lost you. I promised your parents that I would take care of you if something happened to them when they left to find a cure for your unexplainable illness. But last night I don’t know what to do.”

Reule hugged Nana Lolita to comfort her. He was also scared last night. He also thought that he would die. But Reule can’t show how scared he was. He is the leader, and like what his father had taught him, he must remain strong and fearless.

“Ssshhh.. I am still here, Nana, and I am very much alive. Last night was something different. I did not expect my chest to hurt. It was an addition to something that usually happens to me. But it won’t kill me, don’t worry.”

“What are you talking about that it would not kill you? You died last night, and maybe it was only because the moon goddess pitied you that she brought you back to life.”

“Well, I am so grateful for her that she did not kill the handsome me.” Reule chuckled after saying that.

“Why do you look so calm talking about it? Aren’t you worried, especially now that someone lurks in the forest, too?”

“Nana, I am bothered by the two. But worrying about it would not solve the problem. I need to have a clear mind so I can lead this pack.”

“But what about your health? Are you just going to let it be like that? You have been suffering since you were a child.”

“Of course not, Nana. I have been looking for the witch that my mother had talked to when I was two. But I have not got any luck yet.”

“I wondered where that old witch went. She completely disappeared after approaching you and your mother while you were playing on a playground.”

“But she was the one who had given my mother an idea of something that would happen to me in the future. My parents thought I was born perfectly fine not until I reached ten when it started happening.”

“I would say she cursed you to be like that. And I am going to yell at her if ever I met her. But wait, I remembered you have a warlock friend. Can’t he help you?”

“I already asked his help once. Yannis did some rituals, but he said that the moon goddess had made me like this. He can’t do anything but he had seen a glimpse of me in the future. He has seen me playing with a toddler, which he thinks is my son.”

“So, nothing could be done? I thought he was powerful! Now, we would just have to hope that he was right that you won’t die? What if you die after having your son? What will happen to the kid?”

Reule let go of Nana and looked at her in the eyes, “I would like to hope that having a family means I got cured. Even if it’s only a one percent hope, I will take that as a chance rather than none. So, let’s pray that indeed it works for me. Now, please stop crying, and let’s go outside before the two start to suspect something is going on.”

Nana went back to her lively self and started teasing Reule about getting married. They saw the two ladies, and Reule’s gaze went to Wren right away, especially when Nana Lolita said, “Asked your mate to marry you. Be nice so that she will say yes. Stop being so arrogant and start being kind. Am I right, ladies?”

He could not help but look at her. If Wren was a typical she-wolf, she would be able to read his mind and hear his thoughts by now. But since she is not, Reule took that opportunity to talk to her using his mind.

“Did I scare you last night? I am sorry. I did not mean, too. I know you have lots of questions about me. I will answer it one by one as we go along and get to know each other. I hope you are one of the people who would understand me. But, ever wondered if what if I asked you to marry me? Would you say yes to me?”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
