Chapter 49 I won’t let anyone touch my Jenny! My Luna!
Beta John closed Jennifer’s bedroom door and turned to see someone standing behind the wall of Jennifer’s room, looking down.
“Alpha Gerald, why don’t you just tell Mrs. Jenny the truth?” Beta John asked again.
“Shhh! We shouldn’t talk here! I’m worried Jenny will hear us. Let’s talk in my office!” exclaimed Alpha Gerald.
Alpha Gerald left Jennifer’s room and strolled, followed by Beta John.
It didn’t take them long to arrive at the room. Alpha Gerald entered with Beta John.
The office had grey walls with a bookshelf built into the wall behind it. In front of it was a desk with a laptop and a study lamp. The desk was equipped with a tall, comfortable black chair.
Gerald turned and sat down in the chair near the desk.
Beta John followed and sat right in front of Alpha Gerald.
“Alpha? Why are you avoiding Mrs. Jenny? Besides... Mrs. Jenny is fine, isn’t she? And her injuries aren’t serious. Shouldn’t you tell her the truth? I think Mrs. Jenny will understand! She looked very sad earlier, Alpha Gerald!” exclaimed John when they arrived.
Gerald turned around happily and quickly, “Is she okay, John? I mean... her injury...”
“As you heard from the doctor, Alpha Gerald, she’s fine! She needs a little rest... and she’ll be back to her old self!” Beta John explained.
“Thank God!” Alpha Gerald leaned back in his chair.
Alpha Gerald took a cigarette and exhaled smoke into the air. His hands seemed restless as he tapped on his desk.
“Will Jenny forgive me, John, if she finds out I hurt her? I’m not ready to see the hatred in her eyes! I’d rather disappear for a while until her wounds have completely healed! If only you hadn’t immediately arrested me and injected me with Dr. Moore’s liquid... I might have killed Jenny!” Alpha Gerald took a deep breath and coughed for a moment.
Beta John turned and took the cigarette from Alpha Gerald’s mouth.
“Stop smoking! Alpha Gerald! You’re still very weak! And it’s not your fault, Alpha! I’m sure deep down you didn’t mean to hurt Mrs. Jenny at all!” said Beta John.
Alpha Gerald took another cigarette and lit it again without caring. Beta John tried to take it back, but Alpha Gerald stared at him sharply.
At that moment...
Flashback to a few hours earlier.
Alpha Gerald, who was already on top of Jennifer, looked at Jennifer, who looked frightened, and paused for a moment. However, it only lasted a few seconds.
The wolf’s red eyes lit up again as if he saw his prey in front of him with a terrifying gaze.
A second later, the black wolf was about to tear Jennifer’s face apart, but Jennifer’s hand suddenly blocked him.
"Sresettt!” A claw scratched Jennifer’s hand.
"Arghhhhtt!!” Jennifer screamed and fell unconscious.
"Restraint!!” Beta John arrived at the scene and, as several people restrained Alpha Gerald, who had turned into a terrifying wolf, Beta John hurriedly injected a liquid into Alpha Gerald’s body.
The black wolf collapsed and gradually transformed back into human form, Alpha Gerald.
Beta John hurried over to him, “Alpha Gerald? Are you alright?”
Alpha Gerald, who looked weak, stared at Beta John’s back.
“Did I hurt her, Beta John?” asked Alpha Gerald in disbelief.
“Alpha, let me help you up! Mrs. Jenny is only unconscious!” said Beta John as he reached for Alpha Gerald’s hand to help him stand.
"Stupid! No! I can stand on my own! Jenny is hurt! And it must be because of me! Quick! Save her! Call the doctor here immediately! QUICK!!!!” said Alpha Gerald, his face filled with worry.
Beta John gave the order with his eyes, and someone ran off to call someone else—a doctor, as ordered by Alpha Gerald.
Alpha Gerald tried to stand up unsteadily, Beta John wanted to support him, but Alpha Gerald pushed his hand away.
"I can stand on my own! I have to help Jenny! She’s hurt!” Alpha Gerald struggled to force himself to walk towards Jennifer, who was lying unconscious with an injured hand on her right side.
"Jenny? Jenny? Wake up, darling! I'm sorry! I'm sorry...” Alpha Gerald began to panic and, with tears welling up in his eyes, held Jennifer’s face, but she remained motionless.
Alpha Gerald turned to Beta John, “She’ll be fine, won’t she, Beta John? She just fainted and isn’t...”
“Mrs. Jenny just fainted, Alpha Gerald. We already checked her. She’s just scared! That’s why she fainted. I don’t think her injuries are too serious, Alpha Gerald! The doctor will be here soon to check on her!” Beta John explained.
Gerald sat back down, “But... she’s hurt because of me! If only... if only you hadn’t immediately injected her with Dr. Moore’s sedative, maybe... maybe Jenny would be dead because of me! I'm a monster! I'm a murderer!” Alpha Gerald began hitting himself erratically.
Beta John knelt and grabbed Alpha Gerald’s hands, “No! You’re not a monster, Alpha Gerald! And what you feared didn’t happen! The proof is that Mrs. Jenny is only slightly scratched and unconscious! She’s not dead! So you don’t need to worry too much! We’d better move Mrs. Jenny to the bed so the doctor can examine her later!”
Alpha Gerald looked at Beta John, “Thank you for quickly catching me just now! I would never forgive myself if anything happened to Jenny! Especially if she died! I would definitely die, Beta John! I can’t live without her!”
Alpha Gerald looked sad and began crying in front of Beta John, who was also his assistant.
‘I didn’t think the strongest Alpha could cry like a child who lost his mother! His love for Mrs. Jenny is truly extraordinary! I’ve never seen him this fragile!’ Beta John whispered to himself.
“What are you looking at! Quickly help Jenny, carry her to the room! Wait for me!” Alpha Gerald said again.
“But Alpha Gerald, you are still too weak! Shouldn’t we help carry Mrs. Jenny?” Beta John replied.
Alpha Gerald turned and stared at him with a frightening gaze, “You’re the one carrying her, Beta John?”
"Y-yes... Alpha Gerald, so you’re not tired... when...”
"NO WAY!! I won’t let anyone touch my Luna! Including you, Beta John!”
‘Why did he suddenly become so possessive? We were trying to help her! His sense of ownership felt so strong and frightening!’ Beta John thought to himself again.
“But Alpha Gerald, I mean...”
Alpha Gerald looked at him again, and Beta John just looked down.
Alpha Gerald tried to get up and carry Jennifer with great effort, but with unsteady steps and trembling legs, Alpha Gerald managedged to bring Jennifer to their room and place her on the bed, but then…
“Bugh!!!”
“Alpha Gerald!!”
