Alpha Trent's POV.
I was unable to concentrate on my duties for the past days or distract myself with sorting out some files I had in my custody.
Investigation would be carried out over the assault that was done to Eva. I remember when she called the servant and luckily the maid was diligent to attend to her plight. It was fortunate that we found her on time,l because she had lost pints of blood.
I suspected my sister to be the culprit but she denied it firmly. I had no choice but to stop blaming her. My father should be the next suspect but I knew that he could not have stooped so low to do something so outrageous.
I had missed her smile a lot, watching her in that comatose state really upset me but there was nothing I could do than to wait till she woke up.
The moment I saw her, my wolf had an attraction for her;Like a mate bond.
I was vexed that she was hurt like that and it made me almost lose control over my wolf ;I had never lost control over him but I almost did when I saw those two evil witches beating her up and when I saw her injured.
IF had caught the culprit, there would have been a bloodbath.
I stared at the scattered files on my table but couldn't proceed in working on any of them. My wolf kept tugging me to meet her again, I was practically restless because of his disturbance.
I was eager to see her as well but I figured that she would still be in a coma and being in that state hurts me.
My mind wasn't still at rest, so I decided to check up on her. I closed up the files on my table and stood up.
I sauntered out of the room and went to hers. I met the two guards I had installed, sleeping.
They didn't even notice my presence, such incompetent fools. This would be the last day of this job, what if I was some evil person;this must be how she got attacked so easily.
The closer I got to the door, the more her beautiful scent became stronger and more intoxicating.
I flung the door open and my jaw dropped as I sighted her at the window, sitting. I doubted that she was attempting to relish the wind and moonlight. I was certain that she wanted to jump.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
She flinched and turned back to see me and as she did ;out of shock, she fell off the pane of the window.
"Eva!" I yelled. I ran towards the window and looked down to see her groaning on the floor.
I didn't give it a thought before jumping out of the window. I landed on the ground, unhurt but that wasn't her case.
"Eva" I called and raised up.
Her face was wet with tears of pain and probably because I caught her in the act of absconding.
"I… am…sorry" She groaned.
"Shush, don't talk too much" I urged her to remain quiet as I scooped her into my arms.
She wouldn't stop crying and telling me how sorry she was. I stopped telling her to quit speaking, so I said something more effective.
"forgive me…"
"If you keep talking, I would be forced to gag your mouth with a tape" I threatened and that ended her incessant apologies.
I entered the room and placed her gently on the bed. She kept staring intently at me with those beautiful but tired emerald eyes that made my heart melt of every previous anger that I had.
I ordered those warriors out of my sight and sent for the pack doctor. He was shocked when I called at this time of the night.
'Who is this? 'He asked in a sleeping manner. I should have just mindlinked him but I knew that the old doctor would be having his rest.
' It's me,your Alpha '
' I am so sorry 'He apologized and I accepted his apology and instructed him to come.
He seemed shocked over the phone that I had to summon him because of a slave girl whom they knew nothing about.
I couldn't comprehend my own feelings either because from the first day I set my eyes on her;My wolf became restless about having her and I couldn't let her off my grip.
My wolf wails inwardly anytime he sees her hurt in any way or form.
I then hung up the call and sat beside her, she seemed to be losing consciousness.
I still had a lot of questions to ask but that would be when she recovers. I won't be letting her out of my sight ever again.
I stared at her beautiful, smooth but bruised face. My finger involuntarily caressed her soft cheeks, I felt an electrifying sensation by the touch; It even made my wolf stir.
I wanted to see those emerald eyes but they were presently closed and only her long eyelashes that shook a bit comforted me that she was still conscious.
The pack doctor( Romeo) arrived and treated her wounds and fractured bones which she earned as a result of the heavy fall.
I reprimanded myself for scaring her in such a manner but If I hadn't arrived like that, she might still be fine but she would be gone.
I sighed at the emptiness I would feel if she had succeeded in her escape.
I folded my arms and waited for Romeo to do his thorough check on her.
"So how is Romeo?"
"She has some sprained bones but I am sure that she will heal before tomorrow. I recommend maximum rest for her, since she recovered from the coma a few minutes or hour ago," Romeo said and I nodded in understanding.
"But, will she be well?"
Romeo nodded in positive but he was amazed by the worry in my voice. I was even shocked by my actions since I met her.
I had to occupy myself with work to keep away from her. I got jealous and even verbally attacked Kyle for making her laugh,it annoyed me that he made me laugh and I couldn't.
I was jealous…
"Trent, who is she to you?"
I thought it was my wolf acting weird but he was not the only one feeling it.
"I think she's my mate"
