7 Chapter 7 - New Stregnth

Reina POV

"The BOOK.!" I exclaimed making both men in the room shook.

"What book?" he said, a little confuse.

"The one covered in a red velvet fabric, where is it?"

"Im sorry, but we didn't see any book when we found you. "

I gasped again and my eyes grew wide, I felt like I'm a failure. First, I ran out from a battle, then I wasn't able to protect the book which my father told me to do so. I felt like my heart sunk in that thoughts, where would it be? I clearly remembered that I held it with my canines before I shifted back. Oh no, it must have been still in the woods, I need to find it.

I am about to stand up again but some part of my body is not feeling well, Derek, on the other hand, tried to help me for me to balance myself for he knew that I am quite dizzy.

"There's no need to rush, Miss" unfamiliar voice comes and he looked like a doctor based from the long white coat he is wearing and he is holding a pen and some paper. He walk towards me and examine me with his eyes.

"I'm Doctor Raymond, capital's doctor, nice to meet you, Please rest for now and whatever business you wanted to do earlier, let it be for now"

"No, I cant... I need to find the book"

" a book of what" he asked.

"I dont know, I did not open it yet. My father told me not to, not until I arrived here. It had a red velvet fabric covering on it and a string of the same fabric that wrapped around it"

By then, the doctor's eyes grew wide, and his jaw dropped as if he knew what I am describing.

"The book of the hybrids" by now, it's my eyes that grew wide, I was shocked to hear it especially the word hybrid. Do they know something that we didn't?

---

I am about to be released today, after the last examination with the pack doctor, who are not yet here due to his other patients, though he told me yesterday that he'll be here before lunch time to check on me. It is now 8 in the morning, I just learned from King Derek, that I am unconscious for the last 2 days since they found me, for that 2 days, I dont know if the book can still be found, since the weather became harsh. When I woke up, the doctor said that I need to stay for another 2 days to conduct some examinations and needed more rest, my uneasiness each day passes increases thinking about the book, if I find it again, I'll hold to it as my last momento of my pack, especially my father who wanted me to have and protect it. The thoughts about them just made me cry and sob a little. But for today, I needed to be strong and gain my strength back, all of my wounds have healed already except the injury from my left side which needed to take care of for atleast a couple of days more as per the doctor, after this I'll go back to where they spotted me before, to find it, though King Derek ordered his men already to search for it last time, but I cant just rely on them. Oh King Derek, what a gorgeous man he is. What Am I thinking? knock it off will ya.

Thinking about the King, I'm really overwhelmed by his presence yesterday, that made me uncomfortable, not just because of the title he have but also of his caring act. For the last 2 days, he took care of me, spoon feeding me sometimes which was very embarrassing because I can already move a bit that time, though he insisted to, I cant argue with him nor say no, due to his mighty aura that compels me to submit, and my shocked, that I have been mated to a King.

He does look good, simple yet so handsome. Thick wavy hair and flawless white skin, is he even a wolf? I thought to myself, thinking how soft his hands are when he touched me before, not a single callous nor scar. He may not that kind of a masculine guy I imagined before, when I heard rumors about him that said he is strong enough to conquer a pack by himself, but he still got this manly aura around him.

He is most likely to be 6'0 in height which is shorter than his beta, whose 6'1, but still, when the two of them alongside with each other, the King stands out, not due to his being a King nor his looks, but to the aura emitting from him, making him looked big, making everyone that surrounds him submit right away or even looked tiny on his presence. I can sense the emitting aura around him bigger than the enemy that I encountered back in my pack.

Truly, he really is a King having such power.

His aura can already kill someone nearby him if it wants to, it can intimidates you a bit, but he also emits a loving and caring aura that made him look to have a big heart for his people.

The moment that he introduced himself to me as my mate and as a King, I submitted right away, not because he is a royalty, but because of that power inside of him that can devour your soul in a second, I can sense it. He's strong. I am not really a kind of girl who submits immediately to anyone, due to my alpha bloodline, I have pride on myself you know, but this is different, he's a royal blood and my mate! wait, what? yes, my mate. This idea added the insecurities I have been feeling lately, first I feel like I'm a failure being an alpha female that unable to protect my pack, second I lost the book, and now, being mated to a King. Yes, I consider it as an insecurity to myself, because look at me, I looked horrible. I looked pathetic and weak. I dont want that, I want to be stronger. Oh, how I miss my training sessions with my pack, especially with my father. He taught me a lot, not just defense skills but warrior skills like my mother as well.

I dont have that kind of sexy body, flawless skin nor a pretty face, my height is only 5'4 which is considered as tiny or little for werewolves. I have calloused hands and feet, I have scars around my body, I have a dull black hair just around my shoulder and simple blue eyes, button shaped nose, cherry shaped lips and long thick eyebrows. I considered myself as more masculine than the king, I may even look like a man when I'm with him, ha ha ha ha, I laugh to myself. I know there are a lot of female who looks good and also well bred, maybe he can just reject me and chose another, that thought give me a little heartache but I dont care, I can stand on my own, though, now that I am pack less, may be I can stay here for a little bit, but why would the Moon Goddess paired me to him? I guess I have to accept it if this is my fate. But, I still have a lot to do, I needed to come back to my pack and avenge them.

I am having these deep thoughts when a sudden knock on the door.

"Are you awake, Reina?" Oh, that beautiful husky voice

"Yes" I responded.
