Chapter 102 : As the Expecting Mother

Compared to the wariness Soren and I had, Charles’ expression was quite relaxed.

“Alpha Chandler brought you to the pack house. You were in pretty rough shape, knocked out by a hit to the head. It was several days ago, before all this…craziness started.”

Soren tensed beside me. We hadn’t had a chance to talk about all the things that had happened to me while we were separated and I had a feeling he was reacting to the knowledge that I’d been hit on the head to knock me out.

“I was summoned to treat some of the warriors that had gone out with Alpha Chandler. They had strange wounds… like they’d been attacked by vines.” Charles sighed and shook his head.

“How strange,” I muttered nervously.

“Well, it’s not often to see young ladies like you mixed up among his warriors. You stood out in my mind.” Charles touched the side of his head.

Alpha Chandler had me examined by a healer? Was that how he knew about the pregnancy? It made sense…

“You were still unconscious. I was going to give you some medicine for the head wound but Alpha Chandler stopped me insisting that you were okay. I still insisted on doing a quick checkup just in case. It’s my job as a healer to treat all my patients, regardless of what the Alpha wants.”

“But he didn’t tell you who I am?” I asked, arching an eyebrow.

Charles shook his head. “No, he didn’t. Alpha doesn’t let others ask him questions… Ever since our Luna died, he changed. He became cold, stubborn, and paranoid.”

Sighing, I crossed my arms. I wasn’t interested in hearing any more about Chandler. He was old news now and he wasn’t a threat anymore.

Now that Charles was better, I suddenly realized that I could ask him about the pregnancy. Even if he wasn’t the one that told Sebastian, as a healer, he could confirm it for me.

Charles sighed heavily, getting my attention again.

“I always knew that his delusional persistence would bring trouble to the pack. I just did not expect that, instead of trouble, he would bring destruction…”

Charles sighed again, showing a moment of sadness. It passed quickly. As a healer, he’d probably seen a lot of deaths. His eyes were wise and mournful, but not bogged down with sadness.

“Anyway, we can’t change what’s happened. All we can do is look forward,” Charles whispered. “I’m glad to see you’re safe, Miss, and thank you for saving me. I guess I’m lucky that there happened to be another healer nearby…”

I smiled and nodded. “You’re welcome. I’m glad that I was able to help.”

Enzo touched Charles’ shoulder.

“Grandpa, Miss Mila isn’t a healer. She’s a witch!”

Charles’s eyes snapped to me again.

“Umm…” I took a half-step back.

“A witch? No wonder… no wonder…”

I shifted my weight from one foot to the other. What was he getting at?

“No wonder what?” Enzo asked.

“No wonder I saw what I saw…” Charles looked directly at me again. “You’re the one who guided me and walked me out from the darkness. I owe you my life.”

I felt a blush spread over my face and down my neck. “You don’t need to thank me.
