The Alpha's Hunter Queen

Chapter 4 - I’ve Marked You

Raymond suddenly covered his head with his hands and said, "Hey, I'm old and have many problems! My head is starting to hurt. No, I have to check my body first. What if it turns out to be a serious illness..."

He said that he was getting on in his years, but he happened to walk at a very fast pace.

At the same time, another man was even faster than him. A hand pinched his neck collar precisely, successfully stopping him in his tracks.

Raymond's short legs kept kicking and flailing around, but he could not move an inch. When he turned his head around, he saw Jerry's enlarged face right before him.

Jerry happened to be a middle-aged man in his forties. He was very good-looking, but the face he had on right now looked very scary.

“You want to leave me alone to bear the consequences by myself? Dream on!" Jerry spit out these words in a very cold manner.

Seeing that his escape plan was exposed, Raymond stood motionless next to Jerry. He was full of grievances at this moment.

Edward heard Raymond's voice come from outside the room. He turned to look at the woman lying on the bed. They rarely shared such quiet moments together. All along, every one of their interactions had been in a duel or on the way to a duel.

Edward knew from the first moment he laid eyes on her that this woman was the one he was looking for. His inner wolf told him that she was supposed to be his destined mate.

He leaned slightly closer to her, inhaling her scent. Ignoring the bloody smell on her body, he found a smell that was quite unique to this woman, a smell that made him feel slightly addicted. He gently pressed his forehead against hers, and the two of them felt the temperature emanating off of the other’s body. During the exchange of temperature, Edward's eyes shone with the innate light of a wolf.

While still in a coma, Dorothy felt a familiar and unfamiliar aura. She wanted to open her eyes and see whatever it was that she sensed, but her eyelids seemed to weigh thousands of pounds and she could not open them.

Both of them felt the touch of souls and were immersed in this spiritual communion. The sweet taste of it made Edward almost unable to restrain his wolf, and he lifted his head sharply, veering away from Dorothy. After that, he drew in a deep breath, the light of desire flashing in his bloodshot eyes.

It’s not enough! I want more, I want to possess her completely!

Before he could lose all self-control, Edward fled, and he ran out of the room to suppress the wolf's howl in his heart. Just as he was about to lose all control of himself, he felt that his wolf had placed something in the depths of Dorothy's soul. At the same time, he had no idea what it was.

After he left, the woman lying on the bed all of a sudden opened her eyes. Her purple eyes were speckled with gold, which were not human eyes at all. The next second, she closed her eyes again and did not seem to wake up at all.

The wound on her chest healed very quickly. The beating of her heart gradually became louder and faster, and afterward, returned to a steady state. By this time, Dorothy was fully recovered, and the speed of her healing was unbelievable.

"How could this be possible?! Even if she is marked by the master, it’s impossible for her to recover so quickly. This is definitely a miracle!" Raymond exclaimed excitedly. He had just been thrown into the room by Edward to look at Dorothy.

Jerry also walked into the room at this time. He glanced down at the woman on the bed and a trace of complicated emotions flashed through his eyes. He carefully closed his eyes and did not allow anyone to see the look in them.

Edward said in a cold voice, "That means she's okay, right?"

Even though Raymond felt that the situation was strange, he still nodded. This woman's body was healthier now than his was. Listening to her strong heartbeat, it would not be a problem for her to live to be a hundred years old. He turned to look at Edward who was as pale as a sheet of paper and said, “You'd better take care of your injuries first. Your back is still bleeding."

The situation was very urgent. Edward had rushed forward without hesitation on his part to help Dorothy resist all the knives plunging into her body. There were at least 40 or 50 holes in his back now and the blood flow was enough to water the flowers out back.

"Why hasn't she woken up yet?" Edward asked with his face scrunched up into a frown.

"Even though her body has recovered, she has lost a whole lot of blood and needs to recuperate, so..." Raymond, who was about to speak at length, noticed Edward's impatient eyes and stopped talking abruptly.

He coughed lightly and said, "She’ll wake up in three days."

Edward got all the information he wanted and waved his hand around to indicate that Raymond could leave now.

Raymond stared at Alpha Edwards’ bloody back. The blood dripping on the ground had gathered into a small puddle by now. He swallowed hard and thought, Are my eyes fooling me, or could it be that Alpha Edward had more blood in his body than a normal werewolf? He didn't die even after bleeding for so long.

If Edward had known what was on his mind, he would have shot him to death for sticking his nose into his business.

Jerry whispered in Edward’s ear, "Master, it's time for you to look at your wounds."

Raymond nodded in a desperate manner, echoing Jerry's words.

Before Edward could say anything, he fell straight back and Jerry and Raymond quickly stepped forward to catch him before he hit the floor. Only then did they find that his body was burning hot and that he was hurt way more than they originally thought. If they did not get to his injuries now, it would be hard for Alpha Edward to survive.

The two temporarily put Edward in the next room and Raymond hurried to treat his injuries. While treating Edward, he said in an indignant voice, "The juice of aconite grass was discovered on the wound. This happens to be the nemesis of werewolves. That woman must have had bad intentions for Alpha Edward. Every time he meets up with her, the master is always in big trouble! It may be that she deliberately led the master out there and wanted to kill the master all along!"
