The Wolf Who Saved Me

The next day’s evening was pretty much the same. There was nothing new. Lila still did not join the run. Because Reule was acting like a dick yesterday, I gained the courage to talk to Landon. And he immediately smiled when he saw me walking towards him.

“Hi, Landon!” I said with an awkward smile.

“Hello to you!” Landon replied, still with his beautiful smile.

“Um.. I just.. I just wanted to check how is Lila doing? I noticed that she had not joined the run for two days now.”

Landon’s eyes lit up, and he said, “I am surprised that you asked about her.”

It caught my curiosity that I immediately asked, “Why?”

“For starters, my twin sister is acting like a bitch to you, and everyone could see that. Secondly, she threatened and accused you without proof. And lastly, you offered help, but she only yelled at you. So, why do you still show concern at her.”

“Hmm.. I thought you don’t know how much your sister hates me.”

“Oh, that’s pretty obvious, and at home, she is always blabbering about you. So, again why are you still concerned with her? It intrigues me.”

“Hmm.. To be honest, your twin is mean.”

I paused because he chuckled when I said that, which surprised me. Then, I continued, “I was angry at Lila for accusing me, threatening me, and yelling at me when I tried to offer my help. But I feel pity when I see the people here act like nobody cares how she felt after Reule humiliated her. However, I know I am the last person she wanted to hear asking how she is. So, I thought of asking about her through you.”

“Hmm… You are not like the other women she was jealous of. You actually care. It makes me happy knowing that. But don’t worry about her. She is just having her drama moments. However, I would tell her that you asked about her. Maybe it will lift her spirit, and she will come out of her room. Thank you!”

I smiled because I felt relief when he said that.

“Now, you go have your dinner. I need to talk to the warriors for later’s check.”

I nodded and looked at him when he left and patted my shoulder. When I turned, I saw Reule looking at me with sharp eyes. I rolled my eyes. I don’t really care if he gets upset at me. I did not like how he was when I asked him to apologize to Lila.

I walked to my table. And just when I was about to sit, Reule appeared in front of me and sat across me. I pouted my lips, sit and asked, “Why are you sitting here?”

“Since when I was not allowed to sit here?” Reule replied.

I sighed and said, “What do you want from me Reule?”

He paused eating his pork barbecue and said, “What were you and Landon smiling about earlier?”

My eyes widened, and I asked, “Since when did you care about me smiling with someone?”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Since the beginning of time. Now, stop wasting my time and answer my question.”

“It was nothing for you to be concerned about.”

“Oh, really? I don’t see it as anything. Shall I drag Landon here to tell me?”

“You know what, sometimes you and Lila are equally mean. I don’t understand why you have to be rude to her when you are somehow the same. I talked to Landon because I wanted to ask about Lila. It’s been two days now that she had not joined the evening run. I did that since you, as an Alpha, refused to do it.”

Reule looked at me in surprise, but he could not answer because a warrior called him. He immediately stood when told that a lady wanted to see him.

‘Lady? Another one of those he would sleep with?’ I wondered but said nothing. I looked at him, leaving.

Adriana came to my table that I got distracted and did not see the woman’s face who went with Reule inside the house. I closed my eyes and shook my head when I thought they might be planning to have sex. I got disgusted with the thought, but the good thing was Adriana did not notice it.

Suddenly, Landon approached our table, smiling.

“Hi ladies! I hope you two are having a good time. I just came to thank you once again, senorita Wren. Lila went back to her old self when I told her that you asked for her. Tomorrow, you will see her joining the evening run. I know it will lift her spirit,” Landon said.

“When did you tell her?” I replied.

“Just now. I went to check on her and give her food.”

“Well, I am glad that she is back to her old self.”

“I guess you would have to experience her being mean and rude to you again. Sorry about that.”

“That’s okay. Maybe she would change.”

“I hope so. Anyway, ladies, I will grab some food to eat. See you later.”

Landon blinked his right eye then walked away.

“If it weren’t for Reule, I would tell go for that guy,” Adriana blurted.

“Ha?” I replied because it got me surprised.

“I said if it weren’t for Reule I would tell you to go for that guy. I bet he has something for you. You might not be his mate, but he definitely has something.”

“I thought you said that he is in love with someone from the Black Pack.”

“It’s the rumor that has been going on, but no one has confirmed it. However, I could see in Landon’s eyes that he is somehow attracted to you.”

“Come on, Adriana! I only asked about Lila because I was concerned, especially since I didn’t see anyone checking on her, not even Reule. He just came back to tell me Lila is okay.”

“Yes, I get that, but I also see that he is attracted to you.”

I kept quiet. My mind wondered if what Adriana was saying was true. And if it is, does Reule see it that way, too? Was it the reason why he acted like a jealous boyfriend earlier? And what about me? Am I torn between the two?
