Chapter 25: Chapter Twenty-Four

Lucas

I see my adorable mate give me a glare before dashing out the door. She is already out the door when I let out my laugh.

"Did you see her glare at me?" I proudly ask Tristan who is standing beside me.

"I did." Tristan replies.

"I'm most probably the first one who she glared at." I proudly declared.

"You always do it on purpose to elicit different expressions from her?" He asks. Sometimes, this punk is witty.

It's true that I deliberately kiss her in front of the crowd. But it is for different reasons. The main reason being that she's really cute and I can't help myself but to kiss her. Another reason is to make her get use to my affection. The faster she accepts and get used to my advances, the happier I will surely be.

My mate is definitely improving. The first time I kissed her in public, she was too shy to even move. The second time, she managed to push me and ran away. Now, she even gave me a cute little glare. My training of her is showing some results.

There is nothing I want more but to get her into my arms. But there are some urgent matters that I need to look into.

I make my way into the garage. Tristan is on my heels.

"Alpha Tane?"

"We found them. They were attacked in the clearing near the falls one hundred kilometers from the west border. Three of the guards were taken. Alpha Tane, his delta and another warrior managed to escape by hiding their scents. We found them at a small human clinic next town." Tristan explains.

"Human clinic?"

"Yes. They hid their scent and went to the crowd to confuse their trackers."

"Didn't the human doctor find them strange?" I ask him. Werewolves heal substantially fast. The human doctor will surely notice it.

"Alpha Tane supposedly paid a huge amount of money to keep his mouth shut."

Paying money? Human greed will surely accept it. But human heart also changes fast. It will be very troublesome once he spread the news later.

"That is inconvenient and unreliable. We need to retrieve them as soon as possible. How about his pack?"

"I get the impression that he already contacted them. Supposedly he ordered them to be on high alert and stay in the territory." Tristan answers me.

We already reach the car so I sit on the passenger sit. Tristan starts the engine and drives to the pack house.

"That's smart of him. I'll get him this afternoon. Contact Sebastian and ask if he can go with me." I instruct Tristan.

"Eh? May I ask why?" Tristan asks confusedly. As far as he knows, Sebastian and me only exchanged a few words during the meeting yesterday. Well, he is not incorrect.

"You'll know soon. Have the principal secretly look over Lilly's safety. Tell him I will murder the entire nine generations of his family if a strand of Lilly's hair is missing by the time I see her tonight." I tell him. The principal is the most powerful wolf in the school. He is capable of secretly protecting Lilly.

"Eh? Eh? Mur..? Ah. Un-- understood." Tristan managed to reply. He is probably scared to relay that to the principal. After all, Mr. Barry is s pack elder.

"And assign that curly pup to accompany my mate to go to her room and return to the pack house."

"Curly pup?--" He confusedly asked.

"--Ethan?" Ah. Slow poke.

"I never would imagine that Alpha Lucas will invite me to come with him to the town." Alpha Sebastian exaggeratedly exclaimed with a creepy smile forming on his face.

I ignore him and look at the window.

Right now, we are on the drive to the town to get Tane and his companions. Honestly, I hate to run this errand.

"Won't you show me some friendliness? You, after all, invited me to town." He continues his exclamation.

Sebastian is sitting on the shotgun seat so he is looking at me through the mirror which I find creepy. I am sitting at the back seat and his head guard is driving. I didn't bring anyone with me and it is too troublesome to drive so I am now in this creepy alpha's car.

I continue to ignore him and look at the window. We are near the town.

Sigh. Running other's errand is really troublesome.

Ten minutes after, the car is parked in front of the clinic. I go out and head directly inside without waiting for Sebastian. The smell of polution in a human town is indeed annoying. Besides, I hate coming to human town because the humans are always reacting exaggeratedly.

"OH MY!" I hear a loud exclamation followed by a scream like a screeching cat. I look to the direction of the annoying voice and see a human female looking at my direction. When my eyes met hers, she became red all over until she collapses.

See?

"You're very popular, Alpha Lucas." I hear a snicker behind me. I see Sebastian walk near me and wink at the friend of the first girl who came running to check if her friend is okay. The second girl holds her chest and passes out with the first girl when the flirty creep winked at her.

Now, they are like two dead people on the road.

"Oops. I think I overdid it?" Sebastian says with an exaggerated gasp. I'm beginning to have headache.

"Tane paid the doctor money to keep quiet." I tell him.

"I see. I was wondering how he handled it." Sebastian replies in a serious tone. "Well, that's really troublesome. What if the guy later on spread the news?" He asks. A few seconds later, he stops walking.

"Don't tell me, the reason why you wanted me to come with you?" He asks me with an urgent voice. Alarm is well sounded on his voice.

"Is there any reason why I'd invite you?" I reply like it's a matter of fact.

Sebastian looks bewildered but only for a bit. He managed to gain his cool fast.

"I thought it's because I was your favorite." He replies with a smirk.

I just look at him and start walking again. Replying to the likes of him is too troublesome.

"Wait! How come you know it? It's supposedly our pack's secret method! " He annoyingly asked with a screech voice as he follows me.

I ignore him and look for the doctor.

The doctor is a middle aged human who is looking at us warily. He probably guessed that we are related to his recent patients. Since he noticed something unusual about them, it's normal that he feels weary in our presence.

"Can I help these two gentlemen with anything?" He carefully asks us.

I ignore him and give Sebastian a look. He has his usual smiling face like he knows nothing about it as he returns my stare. However, he soon realizes that whatever he is doing is not effective. Thus, he sighs like he is defeated.

"Alright alright. I get it. Let's just get over it since you already know about this." His arms are in the air as if he surrender.

This guy is a clown.

The expression of the doctor changes from guarded to fear.

"Sirs! This.. this.." He starts to panic.

"Ah don't worry dearest doctor. This will be over before you realize it. It's just like a bite of an ant okay?" Sebastian coaxes the doctor.

"No! No! Help--" The doctor started screaming but was cut off when Sebastian lifted his hand and a white light surrounded the doctor. Sebastian's eyes lost its pupil and it all became white.

"Don't panic." He warmly says to the doctor. The doctor calmed down in an instant.

"Okay, now. You are going to relax and forget all about the past five minutes. Me and my friend here just came by to get our other friends. Our friends had normal injuries from a slight car crash and are now cleared to go home. They healed normally and notice is strange about their bodies. You will also forget about the money they gave you. It's from some hot girl who wanted to bed you but you refused because you love your wife. She stubbornly left the money to you because she loves you and she doesn't want you to suffer. After this you are going straight home and you are going to bring your wife to a fancy restaurant. Okay?" Sebastian says.

The doctor nods obediently. Sebastian put his hand down and his eyes turned back to normal. The light around the doctor also vanish.

"Alright!" Sebastian says.

"Erm, sirs? My patients are ready to be released. They only suffered sight concussions from the crash." The doctor confusedly tells us like he is wondering what we are doing in his office.

"I see! Thank you doc, you worked hard." Sebastian says.

"You're welcome. It's my pleasure." The doctor replies. "Besides I need to work hard for my lovely wife." He adds. His fingers are playing around the ring he wears.
