She’s Definitely Not a Human

Scott slept all day in his penthouse. Checking the time on the classic black double-belled alarm clock on his side table, it's 1:00pm already. He then shifted his gaze on the wild red roses dipped in water that's about to wither.

He laid back down on his bed as he close his eyes tightly with his fist on his forehead.

Later, he checked his phone from under the pillow only to find missed calls and text messages from his siblings, foster parents, Lucas and Christina.

Above all the people, only one person gained his attention. He sat upright and read the message from his assistant, Jim.

(Boss, Mission Accomplished. Please see file)

Scott's eyes squinted on the file sent by his assistant.

"DW Medical Hospital", he uttered.

SCOTT POV

I wanted to take the rest of the day off but the old man was too excited to see my face as soon as he heard I'm back. I drove fast in my heavily tinted blue sportscar reaching the Devlins' Residence in no time.

"Good afternoon, Alpha Scott! Mr. Devlin is inside the library.", the household staff greeted me nervously. I've always looked intimidating to other people to the point I scare them away. I'm not bothered though, at least I keep a safe distance from them.

She then opened the door for me. I saw the old man drinking several pills.

"Do those pills ever work? They've increased from the last time I saw you", I said as I approach the old man and sat on the table.

"Ah! Scott! I've always thought we are from a bloodline of wolves.. not chickens ha ha", he said as he prepared a glass of whiskey for me.

"I didn't chickened out. You're bloody children drugged and kidnapped me", I said as I take the glass and gulped on the whiskey.

"Sometimes I doubt if you're an Alpha like your parents. You're siblings with Beta bloodline took you out? Now that's something", he said as he offered a toast with his glass of water.

Stanley happens to be my mother's only sibling. When my mother inherited the Alpha bloodline, Stanley became Beta. They separated after one's imprint and only reconciled days before her death. After the death of my father, he took me in.

"That's how much I trust your family. I take everything you give me", I smiled at the old man who seems to be enjoying to tease me.

"About the wedding.. ", I continued.

"Don't worry about that. You're mother, Priscilla, is taking care of it. We'll have you wedded in a few weeks", the old man said.

"Why are you forcing me to marry that girl?", I curiously asked. Ever since this marriage was brought about, I was never informed about any particular detail especially the side of the bride and the reason behind the fixed marriage.

The old man held a long pause before answering.

"The truth is.. it is for you and me", he said as he gazed outside the window.

"I needed something from Alva Woodsworth. You see, she holds some medications that keep my tremors go away, and allow me to walk like how I used to. With one pill, everything is normal.", he said as he shifted his gaze to me.

"I promised to give her prototypes of machines that will enhance the potency of her new drug formulations. Since it will be long term agreement, we decided to seal the deal with a union of marriage", the old man said as he shakingly crossed his legs.

"What does it have to do with me?", I asked as I try to understand what good it gives me to marry a stranger, pretending that I don't know Diana.

"Well, they are humans. It's safe for you from finding your Luna", Stanley said as he replied in a serious tone.

'Humans? But I imprinted on her. She's definitely not a human.', I thought. Alpha wolves have very strong sense of smell compared to other bloodlines. We can easily sense humans, wolves, vampires, Nagualli and werewolves.

Diana has a very faint scent of wolf in her. Maybe that's the reason why even the pack cannot sense it. Wolves, vampires and werewolves have very strong scent that any wolf can detect. As for the Nagualli, only Alphas can sense their stench.

"Why would you not let me find my Luna? You know that's impossible", I said as I furrowed my brows in confusion.

"Before your mother died, she told me that whatever happens, I should keep you from meeting your Luna because bad things will start to happen", He said as he clasped his hands on his lap.

"That's why I decided to marry you off to a human, that will keep you safe Scott", he continued.

"What kind of bad things?", I asked as I stare on his trembling hands.

"That's all I know. Your carer back then should know more. Remember, Kristia? Unfortunately, the poor girl have stayed hidden ever since the murder of your parents", the old man said with a deep sigh, looking tired.

"I better go then. You must be tired.", I said as I stood up from the table. I went to him, knelt on one knee and held his trembling hand. He patted my head and smiled.

"Stay for dinner, will you? Your mother and siblings would be happy to see you", Stanley said.

Things just got more complicated. By the looks of it, it seemed like Alva Woodsworth already cut off the medication supplies for Stanley. He's telling me the truth now because he's desperate.

If I marry Diana, Stanley will get his medications. Now the question is, why am I forbidden to meet my Luna?

*******

It was almost 7 in the evening when the Devlins finished their family dinner. It was a night of good food and good times. The whole residence suddenly became warm and filled with laughter with the presence of the adopted son.

The joke's on Scott for being dragged by the siblings. Then, the tables have turned to Sebastian being stressed with running the business and babysitting Damon.

Damon, on the other hand, began apologizing to Scott because of his low productivity in the business. Reina has her head held high being the most independent among the siblings.

Scott called it a night and bid farewell to the Devlins. If there's any place that he'd call home, it is where the Devlins are.

Scott checked his watch for the time, and sped up to a place no one would imagine.

He entered the driveway going to DW Medical Hospital. Scott circled the hospital vicinity a couple of times before stopping at the hospital's main entrance.

He swallowed a lump in his throat and followed the the lady his heart been longing to see.
