Chapter 3 Three

Chapter Three

"Oh my goodness!! It's a werewolf and it is injured." Emily said as she approached the wounded wolf.

"How are you sure it's a wolf? It could just be a normal wolf." Sky said skeptically. She didn't know how she was able to identify it as a werewolf.

"Remember we are living in a supernatural realm. Werewolves are rampant and this doesn't look like a normal wolf, so it's a werewolf."

"It's bleeding real bad. How did it manage to stay alive?" Emily asked herself as she stared at the white fur which was already dyed red. She couldn't even believe that it was alive despite the heavy loss of blood.

The werewolf opened its eyes almost immediately and snarled at her. It felt like she was an intruder.

"What do you think you are doing?" The werewolf asked as he had already transformed to his human self.

Emily immediately turned her back to him seeing that he was naked.

"Have you no shame? You can't just waltz around naked. I'm a lady for hell's sake." Emily shouted with her back still turned against him.

The werewolf just scoffed at her statement. He didn't give a damn about this weak human, but he had to maintain his good manners.

He snapped his fingers and he was clothed though it was only the lower body. He was injured just above his heart and was still bleeding.

"You can turn around now." He said and Emily turned around slowly. She didn't want to see a naked man and that to an handsome one at that.

Seeing him in trousers, she heaved a sigh of relief, but didn't give much thoughts on how he was able to get trousers.

She has read in stories when she was still young that werewolves could perform magic and that is what she thought did.

But those books were wrong. Only the chosen lycan king could perform magic and that was who she ran into now.

Sky stayed away from him as she could feel the air of power around him.

"Emily, I think we should go." Sky said worriedly. She didn't know if this werewolf would attack them.

"Come on, sky. You can see that he is badly hurt, and I can't leave him in this condition." Emily said as she searched for some herbs in her herb pouch.

The lycan showed obvious surprise seeing that she could communicate with animals. He tried to figure out if she had a peculiar air or scent, but it was all normal.

Only the supernatural beings could communicate with animals, and he is quite surprised that she was not only able to understand, but could also communicate with the animals. He felt that she was becoming interesting, so he decided to observe her for a while.

"Eureka!!" She exclaimed as she brought out a herb that stinks. The lycan and Sky frowned instinctively as they despised the smell.

After looking around, Emily found a flat ground as she began to grind the herb. The smell became unbearable as she continually ground it and brought out the water.

"What are you doing?" The lycan asked snarling and growling at the same time. He couldn't stand the smell as he had a really sensitive nose.

"I'm preparing a concoction for your wounds. The bleeding hasn't stopped. I bet the weapon was poisoned before used." Emily said as she observed the wound. It looked deeper than it actually appeared.

The lycan frowned as he listened to her. He didn't want her anywhere close to him as he had not found who she really was.

"Don't come any closer. My wound will heal. It's just taking a bit of time." The lycan said as he stared at her warily. He didn't want her to touch him.

"Relax, I only want to help you with your wounds." She said as she took a step forward.

"No! I don't want you taking another step.!" The lycan growled dangerously, but Emily wasn't having any of that.

"I said I want to treat your wounds. What's so hard for you to understand? Do I look like a bad person to you? If you don't stay put, I promise that your injury would only get worse. Mark my words!! Emily yelled as she glared at it. She was frustrated.

She had never seen such a person who could endure pain just like him and of course she still wondered how he wasn't dead given how deep the injury looked.

He didn't know why but under her gaze, he became docile. He was shocked within, but put on a blank face as though he was contemplating it. He really couldn't believe that a mere human could affect him so much.

"Fine!! Since you insist, be my guest." He gave in. The mighty lycan king gave in to a human. If anyone were to find out, he would be mocked so he must make sure this stays between them.

Emily beamed obviously satisfied that she could have her way. She carried the concoction in a small bowl she always carried with her because she doesn't know when she might face any situation just like this.

"What's your name?" Emily asked curiously as she applied the grounded herbs on his wounds. She frowned because it was deeper than she expected. It's a huge miracle he is still alive.

"Edward." He responded to her. Obviously, that wasn't his real name. He was the lycan king, and he was sure that she might have heard his name somewhere. He was really popular though people don't know how he looked like. His name could give him out as he was the only one with such a name in the realm.

"Edward, that's such a nice name. I'm Emily and that is my cat, Sky." She said as she nodded in the direction of Sky.

Sky shrunk on feeling his gaze upon her. She was really scared and this was the first time the cat was so silent.

"I see that you could talk to it, why is that?" He asked. He was curious as to why she was able to communicate with the animals.

"Oh, that's a gift. I also have the gift of healing." She said carelessly as she continued to treat or heal him. Edward froze on hearing what she said.

She was his mate and he couldn't feel her!!

There was a prophecy that said that his mate would be a human but she would be special as she would have the ability to communicate with animals and also the gift of healing.
