Born to be Alpha

Chapter 14: Charlie's Mate

I took the unconscious Gareth to my pack and find my parents surprised of my arrival with an unconscious stranger.

"I almost killed him, but he will be awake anytime soon. Alpha Drinian needs to see him." I inform my parents everything I know of the wolf I took in with me without catching a breath.

"How is Lyca?" I ask them and they simply tell me that they were not able to check on her.

I quickly turn my heel to run to where Lyca is an I froze of what I saw.

She is lying naked on top of her bed. I quickly turn away from her, wondering what on earth happened that she ended up sleeping naked.

'Matilda!' I called for our house helper, and she arrived in just a matter of seconds.

"Yes Alpha?" she addressed me.

"I am no Alpha yet." I corrected her and she bowed her head. "Attend to Lyca, I don't know what happened to her."

"Ok." She answered and went to her. I hear her moving Lyca behind me. "She needs some clothes; her clothes are torn. It looks like she shifted during her sleep."

What? Who shifts on their... must be the alcohol.

I walk out of the room to grab one of my shirts and handed it to Matilda and told her to put in on Lyca, to which she willingly obliged.

After Matilda fixes her, she gathered Lyca's torn clothes that was scattered on her bed and put them on the top of the bedside table.

I stare at her as she sleeps peacefully. She has become prettier from the last time I saw her.

I notice a few white furs on her bed. She really did shift during her sleep. But white? Isn't she supposed to be red? Eren is a red wolf- unless Eden is white.

Now that I think about it, I have never seen Eden. I wonder if this is Eden's fur.

I was about to walk out of the room when I suddenly heard her whimpering. I turn to see her clutching her quilt so tight and even her eyes were tightly shut.

"Please..." she whispers, crying. "Don't take her..."

"Lyca?" I approach her as she started shaking and moving uncontrollably on her sleep.

"Don't take her... Please... Eren!"

Is she having a nightmare?

"Lyca!" I kneeled beside her and started shaking her, trying to wake her up. "Lyca! You're dreaming!"

She jerked and opened her eyes, and tears started streaming from her eyes. I wonder what she was dreaming about.

"Aries!" she whispers breathless. She's breathing heavily as if she just ran a marathon. Only then did I notice that her face is so wet with her sweat.

"You're dreaming." I tell her and she suddenly hugged me tight, making her sit on the bed.

"She was taking Eren away..." she cried. I hug her back and caressed her back.

"It was just a dream." I try to comfort her, but she shakes her head, convinced that what she saw was real.

"Just get back to sleep." I brush her hair and it seems to help her relax.

"I don't want to see it again." She responds, her voice and body shaking.

"You won't. I'll stay with you..."

It was only 3 o'clock in the morning and she is expected to go to school tomorrow, and I can't make her miss her class just because she wasn't able to sleep. Mateo will surely kill me.
