Chapter 5 A light that's burning low

PYRRHUS~

"Why did you save me?" She asked, her eyes not leaving me immediately I stood down beside her.

I didn't know what to say, I glanced at Leo who bowed at me.

"I shall take my leave now, Lycan. You can take your time" He said and walked out of the room leaving me with her.

The room went dead silent.

I walked closer to where she lay.

"Stop!" She said in a very tough tone, her hazel eyes as sharp as ever, "Don't come close to me, I don't know why you brought me to your pack of all places when you could have taken me to the hospital in my pack. Tell me what other motives did you have?"

I watched her.

There was something fierce about her that I couldn't explain, one that drove me out of my reach in a way that surprised me. I just felt intimidated by this woman so much that I felt myself obeying her to her gestures.

"I... just... I just think you look like someone that I have met in the past, you don't have to thinking about it much I'm not interested in you or anything.."

"That you also fucked right? Yet you said you're not interested in me? Do Lycans lie too?" She asked with a sarcastic tone that got me tongue tied. "Lies!" She fired at me, "I am not someone you can deceive, I know you knew that it was my wedding anniversary with Beta Michael, but I left all of a sudden during the event, yet you took me in without knowing what happened? Who does that?"

I was stunned and definitely shocked to my bones and my eyes lit up at her words.

No one, man or woman has ever spoken to me with such authority and audacity. Something was intimidating about her and her eyes spoke of nothing but anger and sarcasm at my foolishness I guess.

I think its true. I don't really know what happened given the fact that I arrived at the event late and Beta Michael was already marking a woman. At that same time, she was leaving the house and I caught her scent.

But how should I explain to this lady whose eyes sparked with such tancity? That she'll die in the next five months? I cleared my throat finally to say a word.

"Listen, you are in my pack and I don't have to give you a reason for helping you. I mean, you looked like the woman I slept with and I happen to see Beta Michael marking a woman so I basically helped you. What I expected from you is a show of gratitude and not this attitude you are displaying, no wonder people don't like Omegas"

She scoffed and chuckled dryly.

"Really?" She raised a brow, "Gratitude you say? Well, its gratitude that you took me away when I wanted to be gone from that place" She shut her eyes tightly and groaned in frustration. I walked closer but she shoved her hand at me

"Stay the fuck away from me! Do not move an inch close to me, Please!" she yelled rudely.

I was pissed by her rudeness but something in me held back my anger.

"Dont get me wrong, If you hadn't fainted then I wont take you agianst your will and I don't know anywhere in your pack that is why you are here is there any offence with that?" I asked with slight annoyance in my voice.

"Excuse me?"

I shook my head. "Yes, you heard me right. Fine, indeed, I don't know you but no beast with a heart will see a fainting person and not choose to help. If you know men who act like that, I am not one and I won't decide to abandon a stranger not even after you fainted in my arms. All I thought was that you are the woman I slept with but since you said you are not then I expected was your gratefulness and understanding and I'll send you away but obviously, you are trying to blame me for all your misfortunes. Excuse me, I have other business to attend to." I couldn't help the way I felt, there was something odd about the whole ordeal that for a moment, I forgot why I came to see her.

I had actually came to send her away but here she was making me loose the ounce of my patience and control more with that tantalizing scent she had.

For the first time since THAT DAY, I forgot about my curse.

I went into my office but couldn't think straight.

'Pyrrhus, Our mate' Theo, my wolf voiced inside my head as I slumped on the bed with an exhausted sigh.

"I know she was my mate the moment I saw her last year. But you know we can't be together, remember our predicament?"

'She's our fated mate Pyrrhus, wont you consider taking the risk for the last five months?' Theo asked me again.

"Come on Man, I can fuck some girls in a corner if you are hungry but talking about that lady, I think I will let go. I can't risk letting her die here especially when she's linked to Beta Michael" sadness clouded my heart as I said this.

'Why did you hate the road because you are missing home? Why did you punish yourself when you are innocent? That Lady is our fated mate but I can't access her wolf yet, I can't be patient any longer do something please!'

My heart became heavy with anger, "But I don't need the light that's burning low already Theo, if she dies here I'm gonna be responsible for it. You too please!" I can't help but yell at my wolf.

'Do your wish then'
