The Mute Slave: Back For Revenge

Bruised

Cleaven yell instructions at his warriors as he rush to his room with Maria hanging in his hands looking dead, he place her on his bed and push away every other thing on the bed that is in his way. Toby who is a feet away quickly give him a clean cloth and a small bowl of water to clean her wounds with and get the first aid box to him.

“Why isn’t she healing?” Toby asked but Anxious Cleaven ignores him and continues to wipe her body slowly and gently.

When he was done with that he gets start on administering an antibiotic and help cover up the open wounds and try to reduce her pain on her strained ankles while she writhe in silent pain.

Cleaven allow himself feel the pain she is going through for a moment and it was so exhilarating that it inflames his anger, he cannot believe that Lena was actually going to beat her to death. She is just a powerless girl who has done nothing to offend her rather they are the ones who had deprived her of her true mate and yet made her a slave.

“Here” Toby stretches the aspirin to him cutting off his thoughts and he snatches it away from him.

“I don’t think she will open up easily, you might need to force her” he told him since her eyes are shut.

Cleaven waited for a minute and try to figure out the best way to make an unconscious person take a tablet he has experienced how much pain she is going through and need to make her take the drug to ease her pain.

He choose the only method even though it might hurt Lena if she finds out about it, he put a pill in his mouth and bend down to reach her lips, he pause for a second but on the second thought he raise her face up a bit pressing a bit hard on her jaws to force her mouth to part open and let his mouth down on hers.

The pill drop in her mouth and he close her mouth with his lips for a short while so she could swallow down the pill and he retreat afterwards with a short breathe.

“That was good huh?” Toby said with a pursed smile enjoyed the short scene.

“Out, I need her to rest and heal up” he said pushing him out and shutting the door locked so he won’t disturb.

Naira was having a good time with a magazine she has kept from Toby when the door suddenly burst open and she fling the chips in her hands in shock react at the rude interruption. She tries to hide the paper behind her thinking it is her husband but Lena showed up instead.

“What the…?” she wanted to yell at her but when she sees the murderous angry eyes, she stops herself before she provokes her more and ends up in her death book.

“Lena…?” she called slowly dropping the magazine on the resting chair to attend to her worries.

It is really rare to see Lena’s tears and looking at the red eyes, Naira guessed something bad than getting yelled at by Cleaven in front of everyone has happened.

“I want to kill that girl, I want to tear her with my claws into shrewd” she screams out in a sudden scaring Naira back as she grabs her chest really frightened.

“Well…I don’t think that’s a good idea Lena”

“What?”

“I mean it would only make Cleaven madder at you and even push him closer to that brat” she cajoled.

She has been lucky not to get implicated in the issue today and she knows how much trouble she is already in with Toby, dealing with that girl now might ruin her relationship with him.

“I saw the two of them kissed”

“All that drama and anger was just so he could get a time alone with her, how dare Cleaven betray me after all he promises to me” Lena cried furiously and let out her claws almost scratching Naira but she manage to escape and it landed on the magazine on the bed instead.

Naira want to get mad at her torn magazine but keep her fit and focus on getting Lena to calm down first before mourning her baby.

“If we want to get rid of her forever, I have an idea” she suggested and that pleases Lena who immediately turn to her with her claws still out.

“You should put that away first” Naira said escaping another accident.

Cleaven keep his eyes on her waiting for her to regain consciousness, it baffles him when her wounds didn’t heal on time and he had to call a doctor from outside to help. It has been so long since he had to call a doctor to treat any of his families.

He waited for her to wake up but it seem to be taking longer than expected and by night, he watches her get haunted by her own nightmares but yet won’t open her eyes and come out it.

The door give a creaky sound distracting him to look away and Toby step in with a sorry look to have disturbed him since he asked not to be bothered but it was a bit of urgency.

“I need to report something to you” he told him lowering his voice not to wake her up.

“What is it?”

“It seem someone has been trying to get into our border, there has been many footprints lately and I’m guessing it’s a sneak attack but I’m yet to figure out which pack”

That brought Cleaven’s attention away from the closed eyes lying on the bed and to Toby. It has been ten years since anyone attempt to attack the Silver Crest, they haven’t been on bad terms with any of the packs and neither has anyone cross path with them even when they went outside to survey the norms world.

“What if it is just some rogues passing through?” he asked

“Rogues are dangerous, what if they had team up and are planning something disastrous? It has happened in the past” Toby reminded and his eyes snap to Maria who is lying down.

Up to this moment, they have no idea who is she or where she came from. She might be a wolf on the run away from her pack which makes her a wanted rogue, what if the new activity at the border is because of her? The people after her life might have found out she is in their land.

“What if this is related to her?” he let out

“It’s been four years since she got here, even if she betrayed her pack they would have given up the search for her now”

“Or maybe not” Toby argued and Cleaven dart an eye at him.

“I know you clear every traces about her and try your best to make sure whose ever was chasing her never finds her but what if they had finally figured things out”

“Then I need to find out who she is before it is too late”

“If her life is in danger again I need to protect her and if it’s her pack who wants her back, then I have to let her go”

Cleaven said and heave a long sigh, he turn back to Maria who still hasn’t regain consciousness and take her hand rubbing it in between his palms to keep it warm.

“Are you really going to abandon her?” Toby asked worried that his heart won’t take it. He has seen how much he cares for her.

“That will be a better choice for her” he said and get up from the chair he was sitting, he stares at her for a moment and bend to give her a kiss on her forehead but stops and walk out of the room.
