Alpha's Baby Girl

Plan Of Protection

TRISTAN'S POV:-

I was going downstairs when a familiar delicious scent engulfed me. I looked around, my eyes searching for that sweet little girl who had invaded my mind. Her scent was there but I couldn't find her. It just didn't make any sense. One of the slaves walked toward the stairs, carrying a bucket full of water.

"Where is Nora?" I asked and I watched life draining from her face. Instead of looking at me, she was staring at the space behind me. An annoyed look appeared on my face as I turned around. I was not even surprised to see my mother walking toward me.

"Ah! There you are, my sweet boy. Come here. Let's go and have some breakfast. I baked your favorite roasted almond cookies." My mother spoke, as she grabbed my hand. I snatched my hand away and left.

I left home and went toward the hospital. I had a feeling that I could find Nora there. I was just hoping I would find her there.

As I entered the hospital, that familiar sweet scent reached my nostrils again. I followed that sweet scent. And it took me toward the operating room. Rex was standing beside the bed she was on. And he was crying. My heart squeezed as I saw her lying on that bed. She was barely breathing.

In fact, the machines were breathing for her. I could see tears slipping from her swollen eyes. "You swore that Luna could never do anything like this to a person. Now look at her." Rex yelled at me angrily and I gulped hard. Her innocent face was all bruised up and her tiny body was covered with bandages.

I took a step closer toward her bed and something knocked the air out of my lungs. I fell on the ground, trying to keep on breathing. It was getting hard to breathe. I dragged myself a foot away from her bed. I filled my lungs with all the oxygen I could find. It took me a while to understand that it was actually her pain that I felt.

"Why don't you do something to save her? You always save her." One of the nurses asked Rex in a low tone. Rex punched the wall. His fist went through the thick concrete wall.

"I can't. Not anymore. With this much damage, she is destined to die. And the worst part is, we don't know when. I can't say whenever her suffering will be over." Rex replied to the nurse in a low tone. I couldn't help myself. I was staring at her with wide eyes.

"Who is responsible for this poor little thing? Who is going to answer for her death? No one! Because Luna did this to her." Rex yelled at me angrily. He grabbed me by my collar and pulled me back up on my feet again.

"Alpha healer, please. He is the future Alpha of the pack. You can't do this to him. He can banish you anytime he wants." The nurse tried to calm Rex down. It hurt me to know his actual thoughts about me. The look in Rex's eyes was enough.

I had no idea what my family had been doing behind my back. But I was just too scared to own it. "I would like to see them try. Because if this girl dies, there is no use for all the knowledge I have." Rex growled angrily. And I saw hatred in his eyes for myself.

It was painful for me. My older brother never really gave a f**k about me. But Rex had always been a big brother to me. And he helped me get stronger. That's why it hurt me the most. "There is no way my mother would ever do something like that. You all are crazy." I growled at them angrily and walked away.

I was staring at the night sky. Every star reminded me of that small prayer I heard her say. And that satisfied smile on her face that made my heart flutter. I sat up on the grass. The pack was drowned in silence. I hopped up on my feet again and walked back toward the hospital. I entered the hospital. As expected, everything was dark. I walked toward the ICU. To my surprise, Rex was still in his office.

I entered the room where she was. My heart started pounding erratically against my rib cage as I walked closer and closer to the bed. I could feel her pain in my body. I pulled her oxygen mask off of her mouth and leaned in.

Although, I could have done it in the traditional way. Something took over me and I just wanted to taste her mouth. I kissed her while my wolf healed her. As the Alpha of the pack, I had the power to heal. But I could only use it on one person only because I was still not the Alpha. My father needed to pass on the power to me to become the actual Alpha.

When I pulled away from her, I saw her bruises fading away. Her swelled up body was turning back into its original size. I placed my hand on her forehead while staring at her face. "I am sorry, sweet girl. I can't imagine what you went through. I just wish I can protect you from all kinds of harm." I whispered softly in her ear then walked away.

As I was making my way out, I heard Rex talking to someone about Nora. "Is there no way we can save Nora from Luna? You are the priestess. You must know something." I heard Rex asking the priestess about the way to save Nora. Since I wanted the same thing, I decided to stand there and listen.

"If alpha took a stand for her, there is a way. But Alpha will never do it. He never interferes with Luna's businesses." Priestess replied to Rex in a low tone. I gritted my teeth as I heard it. Clenching my fists, I walked away.

"The priestess was not right. There is a way to save her. If you are up for it." I heard my wolf, Cardin, growling at me from the inside, making me frowned in confusion.

"And what that might be?" I asked curiously.

Cardin started explaining the only way to save Nora from my mother. A smirk appeared on my face as something devilish started rising inside of my chest. Once Cardin was done, I smirked mischievously. I knew exactly what I was supposed to do.

The next morning, I was at the hospital before the sun even started rising. As soon as I entered her room, Nora gasped in surprise. I saw fear in her eyes. Before she could scream, I placed my hand on her mouth. "It's okay, baby girl. You are okay. I am not here to hurt you." I whispered while staring into her eyes. I heard her heart skipping beats as my face was practically a few inches away from hers.

"I am gonna get you out of here. And then, we will do something so no one will ever be able to hurt you again. Will you trust me enough to come with me without asking me any questions?" I added calmly, then asked her a question. A question that was raising fear inside of my chest.

She blinked a few times then nodded her head. My heart finally started beating again. There was a kind of joy in my chest after a long time when I saw her nodding. It meant she trusted me. "Alright then, baby girl. Let me carry you." I added as I gently scooped her up in my arms and carried her bridal style.

I stepped out of the hospital and started walking toward the forest. She clutched onto my shirt. I couldn't blame her for not trusting me like before. I failed to protect her from my mother. I didn't want to believe that my kind and sweet mother was a monster in someone's eyes.

"You don't have to be afraid of me. You know, I will never hurt you." I whispered softly while walking deep into the woods.

"Where are we going?" She asked out of curiosity. Or maybe, she was just afraid for her life. My eyes fell on the scars she had on her tiny body.

I had to remind myself that I was not carrying a little girl in my arms. She was a woman who was stuck in the body of a girl because she was not fed right. I sighed softly then a smirk appeared on my face. The cabin was right in front of us.

I stepped into the cabin and she gasped loudly in surprise. "I found a way to save you from my mother. This is the only way. Now tell me, Baby Girl. Will you trust me a little more and let me save you from my family?" I asked her, my heart clenched at the thought of her refusing to let me help her. A thousand different thoughts were stabbing my heart.

Then suddenly, the storm inside me started to calm down. Because she had wrapped her arms around my neck. "I trust you more than I trust my God." Her words left me in shock. I couldn't help the tears that started forming at t

he corner of my eyes. She trusted me even though I was practically a complete stranger to her.
