Nyx had just finished bandaging him and was strangely congratulating her for doing a clean job when someone threw her through the air. If she hadn't been so enthralled by the wolf she was bandaging, she would have noticed the band of wolves that crowded her from a mile away. This angered her, "I shouldn't be vulnerable," she thought.
"Rogue" Josh, who was Fenris's beta, growled at the fragile-looking woman who had knelt beside his alpha.
Fenris lay naked and unconscious and the little thwart had put her filthy hands on him. He rushed to her, grabbed her hair, and smacked her roughly. She was smeared with Fenris's blood, her face was also bloody. She must have attacked him, he hissed. He yanked her hair and prepared to smack her again.
"Let me go!" Nyx screamed, preventing power from radiating through her voice. It sounded like a squeak.
"Bitch" Josh said, pushing her to the ground. "You dared to put your filthy hand on my Alpha and you hurt him" he continued dashing towards her, with his hand raised to strike. He had almost hit her when Fenris's voice radiated through the forest.
"Stop." It was a quiet whisper, but it was enough to stop Josh.
Despite her situation, his voice vibrated through Nyx's core, her wolf yipped happily at the sound of his voice. Nyx hoped that nobody, especially the alpha, could smell her arousal. Her cheeks reddened in shame.
"Fenris," Josh said abandoning her and kneeling beside his alpha, he checked his vitals and was satisfied that he was healing properly. The other wolves had their eyes trained on Nyx, knowing that the only thing stopping them from attacking her was their alpha, she remained still. Her wolf was enraged, she hadn't committed any crime if not for her, he'd have lost so much blood that would have hampered his healing process.
" This is what I get for being nice," she murmured.
"Shut up, you filthy thing! The only reason you're still breathing is because of him" Josh said menacingly, towering over her.
"Are you crazy?" She screamed back "I fucking saved his life" she spat.
Josh wasn't listening, the only reason he had not killed her was because of Fenris. He grunted pacing around with his veins bulging out of his ripped muscles.
"If I hear one more word from you, I"ll smack you harder" he whispered threateningly.
Fenris groaned and opened his eyes, the scent of the female who was sprawled beside him, disgusted and enraged him, but not in the way he expected, something about her scent lured him.
"Rogue" his wolf whispered, unsettled for reasons he couldn't understand. She was an old rogue, her scent was very strong. Yet she looked more fragile than the females in his pack. He scanned her frame, she was lean with a well-defined feminine shape. Her shoulders were hunched low, as she heaved trying to control her temper. He hadn't seen her face properly, but she had high cheekbones and a full mouth.
His head hurt, so he grunted, mind linking Josh to let him know what had transpired between him and Viva.
"She has to be part of them, the rogue in her scent is stronger than most" Josh replied through the link.
'Bind her but do not harm her' Fenris instructed.
Fenris collected his robe from the wolf that had offered it, then sat up gingerly and put it on with help of other wolves.
"Rogue, what do you go by?" he called out to Nyx. On hearing him she snapped her head in his direction. He could see her battling for control with her wolf. She was an exotic breed, it showed in her features, her eyes constituted different shades of brown, from the lightest shade that looked like yellow to the darkest shade. It was enticing. Her auburn hair, which was in dire need of a haircut, fell over her shoulders and some of it tried to hide her lean nose and oval-shaped face.
She growled in response, coughing and spitting out blood. "I would have let you bleed and maybe put you out of your misery if I knew that this was the thank you, I'd get."
Fenris sniffed the air, she wasn't among the wolves that had attacked him, but the timing of her appearance made him doubt her. Since he couldn't decide on what to do with her, he was going to take her to the pack. As they bound her and hefted her up, the only thing Nyx could think of was his eyes.
