The queen Alpha

Chapter 9

“Why do you care so much about this human?”,

This question, it bugs me.

Should I tell her the truth??, that this human as she refers to is my mate??, no. Should I just lie and change the topic??, No. she’s too smart to figure out if I’m lying or not.

All kind of thoughts were rushing through my mind and I couldn’t find the words to answer to Priya’s question.

I know I said earlier that she’s one my most trusted person but I can’t risk exposing Roque’s identity when I don’t know anything about him yet.

“He , uhhmm”, I stutter as I struggle to find the right thing to say. Feeling a hot sensation in my palms , I looked at her curious face while I smiled awkwardly.

“He??”, she questioned again not reading the memo.

The memo that states clearly in bold: please stop asking me.

After contemplating and debating for a moment,

Finally, I decided to be brave enough and share with her the truth, I mean what’s the worst case scenario other than the judgy looks.

Taking a deep sigh, I concluded on telling the truth.

“Well, he is my..”

We are interrupted by Roque’s whimpers, he begins to toss and turn on his bed as he squeezes his eyes tightly.

I immediately get up from bed as I remove the syringe connected to my hand not caring about the pain I felt cause it cannot possibly compare to his pain.

Standing on his side, I shake him up to awaken from the nightmare he’s having, ironically knowing am the cause .

“Roque, Roque , wake up”, I worriedly whisper still shaking him lightly.

Stunned,his eyes snap open as beads of sweat are visible on his forehead. He begins to shake as he looks around the room suspiciously and paranoid.

Priya and I not saying a word, he gets up from his laying state cautiously still shivering while he rubs his head and hand trying to fully awaken.

“Are you okay?”, I hesitantly question.

He doesn’t speak he simply nods still looking at me dumbfounded.

In a minute, his vestiges of terror must have washed away and he gets back to his mundane existence.

“Excuse me Alpha”, priya states politely still worried as I give her space to help Roque lay back down.

“How are you feeling?”, Doctor priya asks him as he checks his eyes and heartbeat.

“I’m fine I guess”, he responds as if he is not sure still looking around.

“In a scale of 10, how much pain are you in”, priya questions Roque.

“One??,only the stink in my arm”, he states pointing to the drip syringe on his hand.

Doctor priya looks astonished as she writes something down on her patient’s report.

“What’s going on doctor??”, I question as the feeling of unsettlement hit me.

“I’m not sure yet Alpha”, priya responds as she seems to be as surprised as I am.

“Uh excuse me, where am I??”Roque questions interrupts as he smiles politely at priya .

Oh here comes the bomb,

But why does he look so calm for someone who had been tortured.

“You’re at the infirmary sir”, priya responds.

A light chuckle escapes Roque’s mouth before he speaks,

“Yes I know , but how did I get here and who are you people?”.

What does he mean by who are you people??, I was like hello don’t you remember me, the psychopath who tortured you just hours ago??

I don’t know if I should be happy or sad but something wasn’t adding up here.

“What is the last thing you remember?”, I boldly yet calculatedly question.

He gazed at me for what felt a blue moon before he responded.

“The hike, the wolves!!”? , he states as a look of terror snaps on his handsome face at the mention of wolves.

“Where is Larry and Jeremy??,the last thing I remember is being ambushed by wolves then..”, he questions before blacking out seeming to be in deep thought as his eyes stared blankly on one place.

A drop of swear appeared on his temple and although it seemed impossible, his frown got even deeper.

This might sound selfish but I was secretly praying so hard that he doesn’t remember how he got hurt.

Looking like he snapped out off his thoughts, a disappointment look Is clear on his impossibly gorgeous face.

Now that I concentrate on his face, the paleness disappears and even the scars are healing on its own.

“That’s all I remember”, he lowly states.

A sigh of relief escapes from both mine and priya’s mouth .

“It’s seems you’re having a temporary memory lapse, but I still have to a scan to make sure you’re fine”, priya explains to Roque as he simply nods.

Seeming to have remembered something, he energetically gets up from his sitting position and looks at me joltly.

My hands were shaking, and I think I even felt a stream of sweat run down my spine.

“You guys haven’t told me who you are”, he cheerfully states still not taking his eyes off me.

Is he playing some kind of mind games or what, I was literally scared that he had remembered me.

“Uh this is our leader, she’s the one who saved you from the wolves and brought you here, my name is Priya, am a doctor ”, priya states as she leaves me astound by how she just introduced the whole situation.

Well, I should be thankful to her smart mouth because I would have probably snitched on my self.

“I’m Roque, it’s a pleasure”, he states while extending his hands to priya.

Guess that was my cue to introduce myself.

“ I’m Victoria, am glad you’re awake”, I express as I display a smile to my mate wishing that this was the first time I ever spoke to him.

“Victoria, it’s nice to meet you. Thank you for saving me”, he earnestly states as he gives me a warm smile before extending his arms for me.

Hesitantly, I extended my hand to him to shake,

As soon as our skin touched, sparks erupted all over my body and a feeling of tranquil spread from my palms to my whole features.

And by how he hardened the grip on his hand, I knew he felt it too.

The mates bond.

He then looks at me as his s****l oriented green orbs sparkle like constellation of stars.

He literally got all the perfect features., why didn’t I notice all these earlier and stop me from dooming my conscience.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I let go of our entangled arms and simply smiled at him.

“Don’t mention it, I hope you get better soon”, I express while our eyes still glued at each other.

“I think I’m getting better already”, he says in a low voice that literally made my insides melt.

What is happening ?, he looks at me with so much adoration that I feel guilty of keeping something so important from him.

“Alpha, I need to taking him to the scan room, excuse us”, priya speaks out as two nurses walks in the room and prepare Roque for a scan.

“Of course, I will be in my chambers. Call me if anything comes up”, I tell priya while she simply nods and bows.

I begin to walk away and before I exit the room , his voice calls my name.

“Victoria”, so f*****g hot, I could record it and listen to him calling for me all day and night.

“Yes Roque”, I turn around as the muscles of my mouth displays a smile on its own,

I guess I can’t help it,

“I hope to see you later”, he expresses displaying the brightest smile on his stupidly fine face, showing his crooked yet cute teeth.

“Yes of course”, I respond before giving everyone the final nod and walks out heading to my chambers.

Feeling a suffocating, heavy notion of shame in my chest as my demons reminded me of my horrendous deeds.

There was an incessant throb in my heart that was telling me I should come out clean to him and apologize for my actions,

But I was webbed in fear, fear of losing him once I tell him the real reason why he is hospitalized.

What if he won’t understand? what if he hates me?, all these questions were swamping in my head and it’s only now that I understand that a mates bond shouldn’t be underestimated.

I am left with carrying the guilt for now, until the time his memories comes back to him.

But as of now, I’m going to try my level best on knowing him better and finding the hunters. I also want to know how he is related to the medinas.

I know I wronged two persons the most during my spree moment of rage, one whom is hospitalized and the other one who’s laying silently inside of me.

I should apologize to her before it gets worse,

“Vera”,
