Chapter 27: Her Wolf

Killian’s P.O.V. (Continued)

“What is it now?” she asked me in a tired tone. I opened my mouth to answer her but saw her closing her eyes. She was exhausted.

“Let’s talk about this later. You need to rest now.” I replied to her and gently slipped my other hand under her knees to scoop her up into my embrace in princess style. She wrapped her hands around my neck while resting her head on my shoulder.

“What’s wrong with her?” Velan asked me worriedly. I also felt something wrong as she suddenly looked pale.

“Lucifer, bring Helene to Pearl’s chamber now.” I instructed Lucifer through mind-link while carrying her out of the gym. “Pearl…. Pearl…. What’s wrong?” I asked her in a panicked tone when her hands suddenly slipped down from my neck.

“I don’t know.” She murmured in a very low tone, sounded so exhausted as if she would sleep at any time.

“Don’t sleep… okay… you are just tired, but you …. You need to have something to eat or drink something before you sleep.” I instructed her in the same tone while almost running downstairs.

“Levi…. Bring juice or something light but nourished for the queen in her room…. Now.” I instructed Levi through mind-link.

“I am already outside the wing, my king.. please allow me to enter.” She replied to me and requested permission to enter.

“Bring Levi to the queen’s chamber.” I instructed the guards, standing outside the wing. Without my permission they couldn’t let anyone enter the wing.

This rule was established by Lucifer and Hugh after Xavier sneaked into my chamber and tried to poison my meal.

“Yes, my king.” The guards replied to me in unison through the mind-link. I kicked opened the door of her room and ran towards the bed.

She was now breathing very slowly and her face was completely pale. I took her hand in mine and caressed her hair gently after putting her on the bed.

“Pearl… my love… open your eyes and tell me how are you feeling?” I coaxed her in a very gentle tone, almost pleading to her.

Mate bond seriously works in a very weird way. Never in my dreams had I thought about a day when I would speak like this, and here I am, coaxing my mate, no, correction…. Pleading my mate to open her eyes.

“Killian… I.. I am tired.” She murmured in a very low tone. I heard a knock on the door at the same time and asked Levi to come inside. She entered the room with a food trolley. “I asked the kitchen to prepare fresh juice for her. She told me that she was hungry when we were about to leave the garden, but went to the gym in a fit of rage without eating or drinking anything,” Levi explained me the situation why she prepared the juice beforehand.

“Helene and I are at the entrance. Allow us to enter.” Lucifer mind-linked me at the same time. “Let them in.” I instructed the guards through mind-link once again.

“Wait for a while. Helene is already here.” I stopped Levin from pouring a glass of juice for Pearl. She immediately covered the juice and went near the door but didn’t leave the room.

Lucifer and Helene who was my personal doctor entered the room. “What happened?” Helene asked me in a concerned tone.

“I don’t know. She did some intense exercises for more than half an hour and after drinking some water, she felt lethargic and tired.” I briefed her the situation while standing up.

Helene sat down on the edge of the bed and took Pearl’s wrist. Her eyes were still closed as no life had left in her body. My heart was now thumping hard against my ribcage.

“Her pulse is low. What did she eat for lunch?” Helene asked me while checking her vitals. “Both of us had the meal together.” I told her. It meant that nothing was wrong with the food we had for lunch as I was still alright.

“But she felt hungry before going to gym.” I told her hurriedly when I remembered what Levi told me. “That’s not the case. Her scent is missing, but she definitely has scent and … and her wolf… she is still sleeping deep inside her. I am sure this is because of the rejection.” Helene assumed and I clenched my jaw tightly.

Helene was a born healer. Her lycan can connect to any werewolf and lycan to get the correct information about their health status.

“But her wolf used some of her strength today.” Helene murmured in a confused tone and looked at me. I narrowed my eyes, asking her to clarify what she said.

“Did… did she lost her temper at any time of the day today?” she asked, and I took a deep breath. “Levi.” I called Levi to answer this question. She was with Pearl when she confronted Xavier.

“She… she had an argument with Prince Xavier two hours ago. She …. She lost her temper a… and suddenly a very oppressive scent omitted from her, almost making me kneel in front of her. Th… that also affected Prince Xavier.” Levin briefed the incident with some hesitation.

I snapped my head towards her while raising my brows in surprise. Xavier was not a normal lycan. He was a royale lycan. There is no way that the aura of a werewolf from an unknown origin could suppress him.

Levi had her head hung low, but she still flinched harder in fear when I looked at her.

“Impressive…but that is also the reason of her condition.” Helene said in a serious tone. “Will she be okay after drinking some juice?” I asked Helene in a concerned tone, looking back at her.

“It will be better if she drinks some juice, but I don’t think that she will be able to stand up at any time soon.” Helene replied to me in the same serious tone. I listened to her without interrupting her.

“This is very strange, and I have never seen something like this to be honest, my king.” She continued and my gaze fell on my mate.

“Generally after the rejection, a wolf takes a month or more than a month to get his or her strength back. I am sure that her previous mate’s wolf is also in a deep slumber now. But her wolf.” She paused and took a deep breath.

“What is it, Helene?” I asked her when she looked back at Pearl and didn’t finish what she wanted to tell us. I could feel Lucifer’s nervousness too.

“During the period of their deep slumber, a wolf can’t help his or her human to fight back or release a dominating aura just like she did two hours ago. She did the same thing yesterday during that meeting. Her wolf used her remaining strength to help her human, my king. It’s not that her human is weak. This is her wolf’s weakness.” She explained in a very serious tone.

I gulped hard when I understood the meaning of her explanation. “You.. you mean to say that her wolf used her strength during her sleep?” Lucifer asked Helene while stammering a little in shock.

“Yes, Beta Lucifer. This is the first time that I saw a wolf so much capable that she succeeded in intimidating a royale lycan when she was at her lowest. Think about what can she do when she will be at her highest?”

Helene’s question made my heart skip a beat. Helene looked back at me and narrowed her eyes.

She slowly stood up and came closer to me. “Helene.” Lucifer warned her but she didn’t listen to him, and continued staring at my face. No one could see at my face directly. This was my order to the whole pack.

“Levi… go outside please.” Helene asked Levi in a serious tone, stopping right in front of me, her eyes still roaming all over my face, and I saw curiosity and astonishment in her eyes.

Did my scars become worse?

I signalled Lucifer to escort Levi out and stay outside the room. I didn’t want them to listen something that made them pity me.

“Your scar.” Helene opened her mouth as soon as we heard the door lock sound. “Helene.” I warned her this time but she shook her head.

“It… it’s fainting, my king.” She said further and my heart stopped beating.

“Wh… what did you say?” I yelled in shock and disbelief, and my heart started running a marathon after a few seconds.

“Did… did you two get intimate to some level?” she asked me in an excited tone instead of answering me.

“What are you talking about, Helene? Explain your statement first.” I demanded in a trembling tone this time.

"The scar across your eyes.... it.. it has fainted a little from the corner, my king. Nothing has changed in your daily routine except the entry of our queen in your live. Although her wolf is in deep sleep, and still masking her scent very efficiently, but it seem... seems that her proximity to you is affecting your scars to an extent." she explained and my eyes widened in shock.

"Killian... it... it's hurting." I snapped out of my shock immediately as soon as I heard her whimpering in pain.
