Alpha Raelyn: The Alpha They Never Saw Coming
With the sandalwood in hand, I left the hospital satisfied. I stopped by Jackson’s place first, handing the precious herb over for safekeeping, then made my way back. I didn’t expect to return to such a chaotic scene at the hospital gates. Two she-wolves were arguing heatedly. One of them wore a mask, sunglasses, and a sunhat. She had an air of elegance and spoke patiently, her voice soft and composed. The other, in sharp contrast, ranted like a vulgar street vendor, shouting insults peppered with obscenities. I wasn’t planning to get involved, but as I walked past them, the vulgar woman suddenly gasped for air and collapsed to the ground. It looked like an asthma attack—she was convulsing, frothing at the mouth, breathing rapidly as if she were moments from death. The elegant she-wolf startled and instinctively moved forward, but a friend of the collapsed woman rushed over and shoved her back, screaming accusations. Something about the elegant woman struck me as familiar. Then it clicked—she was the one who had handed me flowers after Adam’s concert, back when I sang with him. That decided it. I stepped forward. “Want me to try?” I asked loudly. “You?” the rude older woman barked. “You’re just some young Omega—what do you know about medicine? If something happens to her, none of you are walking away from this!” I ignored her, stepping toward the collapsed woman to begin emergency care. But the woman grabbed my arm hard. “Didn’t you hear me? I said stay out of this! If you mess this up, it’ll be your fault!” I released a bit of my Alpha aura and gave her a cold stare. She flinched, shaken by my presence, and slowly let go. “I’ll take full responsibility. But if you keep getting in the way and she dies, then it’s on you.” That shut her up. I knelt beside the woman and examined her condition. It wasn’t critical—yet. I pulled a small pill from my pocket and placed it in her mouth. “What did you just give her?!” the old woman shrieked. I finally lost patience. “This is a hospital. If you keep screaming, I’ll have the werewolf security drag you out.” She shrank back. “I—I wasn’t shouting. It’s just, if you give her something that makes it worse, that’s on you…” I ignored her and turned back to check on the patient. The woman was trembling more violently now, her breathing more erratic. It looked like her body was reacting to the pill. “See! I told you something would go wrong! You reckless little brat—do you know you’ve just killed someone?!” The old woman seized the opportunity, flinging herself onto the ground and wailing as if at a funeral. “Help! Someone! She’s killing people!” I said coldly, “In such a hurry to point fingers? You might want to wait and see what actually happens.” Just as I finished speaking, the wheezing suddenly stopped. The woman blinked her eyes open, confused, looking around like she had no idea what had happened. “You’re okay now,” I said as I stood up. “Next time, manage your emotions better. Always carry your inhaler. You might not be lucky enough to run into me again.” The surrounding crowd gasped. “Wow, this young lady really knows her stuff. Way better than my grandson who just plays video games all day.” “She might even be a doctor here!” “No way—she looks like she’s still in high school…” The admiration quickly shifted into disdain—for the old woman still wailing on the ground. “What a disgrace. She was the loudest one, and now she’s been proven wrong.” “Just leave already!”Shamed, the woman stood up and slunk away without another word. As the crowd began to disperse, the woman I saved looked at me with embarrassment. “Thank you… I really thought I was done for.” I waved her off. “Don’t thank me. Thank her.” I pointed toward the elegant she-wolf. Her eyes widened. “Her?” “I know her. I only stepped in because of her,” I said. “You… remember me?” the woman in the hat spoke for the first time, eyes locked on mine. I smiled. “You gave me flowers last time. This is me returning the favor.” She looked surprised, mouth parting slightly as if to say something, but no words came. She simply gazed at me with those beautiful eyes. I gave her a small smile, then glanced at my watch. “It’s getting late. I need to get back.” With that, I turned and headed back into the hospital.
