Healing The Ruthless Alpha

Sihana’s POV

1

“Cahir.” I touched his arm when he got closer, my lips trembling. He wouldn’t hurt me – I tried to convince myself of that but it didn’t stop my heart from shaking when he got closer with a weird look in his golden eyes.

I wanted to look away but I forced myself to maintain eye contact. Beneath this wolf coated with blood and with feral eyes was my mate, the love of my life and the father of my child.

“Cahir – do you –“I wanted to ask if he recognized me but I couldn’t. What was I doing talking to a wolf that was stalking me? What was I doing reaching out to a feral wolf? But that feral wolf was my mate and I couldn’t let him go. Never.

How many people had he killed for his fur to be coated in so much blood? What had he done before he entered this room? Could I still get my mate back from the abyss of bloodlust that seemed to have wrapped vice–like grips around him?

The wolf got to me and buried its cold snot into my neck. I went as stiff as a board. There was no single scent of Cahir there. This wolf, I had seen several times, it was my mate, my Perseus, but it

didn’t smell like him, didn’t act like him and didn’t even look like him – not with this much blood and these cold golden eyes.

The wolf sniffed me, rubbing blood against my skin. It sniffed all the way from my neck to my chest and then to my stomach, its bloodied snot lingering there.

–

“It’s It’s our baby in there.” I wouldn’t lie – I was scared out of my mind. Being shackled to the bed with a traitorous and delusional beta didn’t make me quiver this much.

This wolf sniffing me – it wasn’t Cahir anymore. All traces of him had been erased, leaving behind nothing but a bloodthirsty monster. He could snap my neck in the blink of an eye and my life would be over- my life and the life of my child.,

“Babe –” I raised my shaky hand to touch the bloody black fur of the wolf. Swallowing down a choked sound of fear, I let my hands run through the matted fur, stroking the feral wolf.

Tears gathered in my eyes. I didn’t know if I could get out of this situation and I didn’t know if I would ever have Cahir back.

“You promised – You said you wouldn’t leave me.” It was nonsense, not words that could move such a beastly creature but if I could just – if I could just get to my mate!

Rogues were stuck in their wolf forms forever but Cahir – my mate wasn’t a rogue. He was just teetering on the edge. Yes, he had the golden eyes that were a sure symbol that a wolf had turned rogue but he was still Cahir – he still led a pack in his human form and he’d not succumbed fully to bloodlust.

All these, I said to myself to give myself a little bit of hope but my instincts told me he’d tipped off the edge. Whatever tethered him to our world had snapped and this wolf before me was a rogue,

not my mate, not an Alpha. A being of pure lust, devoid of emotions or senses.

“I love you,” I blurted the words that had tingled on my tongue for so long, words that I swallowed back every time they bubbled up out of fear of the unknown. “I love you so you can’t leave me. And our daughter. You can’t leave her, Cahir!”

It was madress. The tears I held at bay could no longer be held back. They slipped down my cheek as I went on full–on sobbing. My arms wrapped around the wolf’s neck, pulling the bloodied wolf against my body and burying my face in its chest. I felt a bit of resistance but I didn’t care, tightening my arms further around the wolf.

Then the bloody and matted fur underneath my arms receded. At first, I didn’t realize it as I sobbed into the wolf’s skin, waiting for it to rip into me and go on its merry way. The body started to change before I realized what was going on. I couldn’t stop the tears falling from my eyes but I let go of the wolf, leaning back to observe what was happening before me.

“C- Cahir-“The wolf was shifting to man and I was fascinated.

I’d witnessed a lot of shifts as a werewolf and I’d never been amazed but right now, watching my mate who, a few seconds ago, I’d been weeping over, thinking I’d lost him forever, was shifting back to his human form as if he wasn’t overtaken by bloodlust.

“You fascinate even my demons,” the man whispered, kneeling before me.

“Cahir,” I called his name like a broken record, watching him in awe.

It felt like I had dreamt of this. Was it wishful thinking? How did he shift so fast when he was –

“Don’t cry.” He wiped my tears with his thumb and I shivered. “I hate it when you do that.”

“You’re – You’re back,” I whispered in amazement.

“ver left, Sia,” he mumbled, his voice deepening. “Didn’t I promise?” I flew into his arms before he finished speaking.

“Don’t–Don’t ever do that to me again! I thought I’d lost you forever!” I sobbed into his chest. “I was so sure you’d turned rogue and that that –” I didn’t want to give voice to the fears that just choked me so I sobbed silently, cursing him in my mind.

–

“As did I,” he muttered. “I’d never felt my control slip like that.” His confession sent goosebumps down my back. “When I got the news and everything fell apart, I really did think – this is it. I’m never coming back. from this but it didn’t matter as long as I found you safe and you’re safe.” He kissed my nose. “How are you?”

How was I? I should be asking him that question! He was the one who almost went rogue a second ago! Then I remembered I’d been kidnapped by his fucking beta and a thousand violent emotions slammed

into me.

“Aristo –” I started but then paused, seeing how the beta ran past him after seeing his golden eyes. No one ever saw those eyes and lived but he let Aristo go just like that. “You let him go,” I muttered.

“A poor decision.” He stood, grabbing a blanket and putting it over my shoulder. We were both naked in this strange place and we had to get out soon. Back to our pack to deal with the problem of the traitorous beta as soon as possible. “It’s like I was seeing you anew and I just – Froze.” I’d noticed him freeze up but I didn’t think it was because of me then. “Let’s go home, Sia. I’ve miscalculated things, I am sorry.” Someone knocked on the door as I stood with a duyet draped around me.

“Who?” I asked and Sebastian’s head poked into the room. “I thought you killed everyone,” I snarled at Cahir when I saw that bastard’s head.

“Alpha.” He had the temerity to bow his head to Cahir after he bowed to Aristo just hours ago. “I brought

clothes for you and the Luna.” He handed the clothes to Cahir who thanked him.

“Cahir, this bastard – I started to shout but my mate said something to him before I could finish.

“How did you follow them?” Cahir asked.

“I was the head of your security for five years and in those years, the Beta was always suspicious but he became even more so recently and well – I’ve been following the Luna –” He winced when Cahir growled.

“She saved my life so I thought I could protect her even though you asked me to stay far from her and then – then one day the Beta came to me and proposed we joined hands to defeat you. I agreed to know what he had going on and then I noticed – I wasn’t the only one he came to. He was building an army, recruiting all the warriors and alphas you had cut off and while I was following the Luna about, I noticed he was doing the same so I – I didn’t want to tell you when I didn’t have definitive evidence as I knew you would trust your beta over a failed security guard.” He hung his head. “I am sorry to have spoken out too late.”

“I may have believed you but it’s too late to decide that now,” Cahir mumbled. “Let’s get changed and return home.”

“A–Alpha? You know that the people in Alpha Blood are against you. Perhaps- Perhaps it’s not wise to go back? We don’t know how many of them are traitors,” Sebastian said.

“What do you suggest I do?” My mate asked. “Go into hiding?” He snorted. “I’ve conquered Alpha Blood once and I can do it again even if I have to raze the whole thing to the ground.”

“Y–Yes.” Sebastian nodded with wide terrified eyes from the venom with which Cahir spoke.

“You’re not leaving me behind,” I warned. “Aristo thinks you’ve turned rogue now so he will strike faster. I’m not going to hide.”

“If that’s what you want.” He shrugged. “I can protect you while setting the whole of Alpha Blood ablaze.” With that, we dressed in silence and exited the creepy place Aristo had taken me.

As we walked out, I counted at least fifteen bodies strewn across the ground. It was a gory sight – a sight my mate had created. I laughed but the sound caught in my throat as the place exploded, right as we got into Cahir’s car. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
