Chapter 23 so many things to do
Anaya’s P.O.V. (Continued)
“Yes, boss," I obliged teasingly.
Her beaming smile made me shake my head slightly.
I took the bowl and lifted it up so that I could finish it. Now, I was feeling hungry, and yes, I needed my strength back so that I could stand up on my own.
“Speaking of your alpha. Where is he? And what did he do to save me?” I asked her casually when she was about to stand up.
“He is resting in the other room. He and Beast used their whole strength to keep you alive last night. That was strange, though.” She replied to me while walking towards the closet.
“Strange? How?” I asked her curiously while drinking.
“They used their mate bond to pass their strength to you. Strange, right?” she replied to me and asked in amazement.
I almost spat the soup in my mouth in shock.
“Us…. Used mate bond?” I asked her in shock.
“Yeah. You should have seen Maira’s face at that time. Oh, you don’t know her.” She continues nonchalantly as she takes out my clothes.
“She is a medical genius and crazy about anything that she finds interesting and curious enough for her to lose her night sleep. Weird, right?”
I didn’t register a thing about that doctor as I was still processing what she told me.
Mates can feel each other’s emotions and pain through the bond, but passing their strength to each other???
How can this be?
“Is he okay?” I asked suddenly, coming out of my daze; my heart was now racing a bit.
Willow stopped in front of me and took the empty bowl from me.
“He is bit weak for now, but he is okay. He will be back in his element in a few days.” She replied to me nonchalantly and raised her hands to take my arm after putting the bowl to the nightstand.
A few days?????
This long????
It meant that he really did something drastic to save me.
I still didn’t feel gratitude towards him for saving me.
He should have let me die.
I had no use for my life.
“Come on. Have a shower. Although I wiped your body every day, you still need to take a good bath.” Willow was chatty, and I didn’t mind her constant speaking because it was what kept me distracted from the jumbled mess of my thoughts.
I took her hand and slowly got up from the bed. I was glad that I made it up on my feet this time.
Still, Willow didn’t let me go and held me tightly in her side embrace.
“I got your clothes here, okay? After taking a shower, you don’t need to put on clothes in the bathroom. It’s safe in this way. I need to take care of some stuff. I will be back in an hour. You can have a good rest and I put a notebook on the nightstand for you. That has all the information about the pack and its structure for you. The information is brief, but enough for you to understand things.”
I just listened to her while walking towards the bathroom.
So, this is what my life now?
But I need to contact Nancy and Rose first.
I also need to contact my boss to let him know that I will be on leave for two or three months. There is no way that I am quitting my job.
She left me in the bathroom and walked away hurriedly.
I was now strong enough to take my bath on my own.
I didn’t like being helped by others, but the last few days made me realize that I was still a weakling among all the werewolves.
I stripped off the only clothing on my body – a silk robe.
I stepped into the bathtub. Willow had prepared everything for me.
I sighed softly in relief and closed my eyes when the warmth of the water started soothing my aching muscles.
Now, I am mated to an alpha who is my fated mate but he couldn’t feel the bond.
His life is messier than any mess that I had in my family back then.
He had his own shares of she-wolves around him, throwing themselves on him for the sxual satisfaction that he could give them and also for the power that they could get by being his Luna if he chooses any of them.
I shattered their dream by accepting him as my mate and also made him swear to his alpha powers that he will never touch any other woman in this life span.
The mess that I created for myself.
I am not in love with him like my mother was in love with my father.
So, why does it matter to me if he has sx with one she-wolves or ten at the same time?
“You dumba. You forgot that you can feel the mate bond.” My inner self scolded me angrily.
“So?” I asked her tiredly.
“So, you can feel the betrayal too, my love. Did you forget that part of the disadvantages of the mate bond?” she asked sarcastically and I mentally facepalmed myself.
Great…
I really forgot that part.
My mother was a human, and she wasn’t my father’s fated mate. Yet I had seen her crying in pain whenever my father had sx with Ruby.
I opened my eyes when I remembered about Ruby.
“Fk it.” I cursed internally and grimaced.
So many things to take care of.
I needed my phone after going outside the bathroom. I had a lot of work to do.
By my calculation on what Willow told me, I was in and out of my consciousness for a week.
So, I guess it had been ten days from my abduction.
I didn't know if Nancy and Rose were informed or not. It has been eight days here.
I didn't know what happened to Ruby and Jacob.
I was intending to take a long and relaxing bath and then a quick shower, as I wanted to wash my hair too.
But now I needed to finish everything quickly.
Still, I let the warm water relax my muscles first. Everything had already been ten days late.
Another half an hour isn't going to change the outcomes.
After finishing bathing, I stood up by holding the edges of the bathtub.
My head spun a little, but I could handle it now.
I took a shower, washed my body and hair again, took my time, and stepped out when I felt completely clean and fresh.
I dried my body with a big towel and wrapped another towel around my wet hair.
I put the bathrobe that Willow left for me in the bathroom earlier.
I stepped out of the bathroom while fastening the belt.
I stiffened when I sensed a stranger's presence in my room.
I immediately looked in that direction on alert and saw a she-wolf with heavy makeup in very tiny clothes, barely covering her assets, standing near the foot of the bed.
She looked at me with hatred.
"What are you doing here?" I demanded coldly.
