Saved her
BANE'S POV
The moment the barrier of the pack was interrupted, I felt it i'mmediately.
This time it was strange.
Different pack members escape and become rogues but I always didn’t realize it but this time I felt.
"The true luna", Albert mind linked me with worry in his voice. Most of the people felt it.
Renee... that bitch. Why did she decide to run away.
"Let's go and get our mate", Alex my wolf began to murmur in my head.
"Our mate is in danger",
"Our mate Bane.. go and save our mate Bane",
I tried to concentrate on the ceremony but my wolf was restless.
"Bane our ma.....",
"I know, I'm going to get her", I cut it in mid sentence.
Albert was unsettled too as my beta... According to the moon goddess, Renee is the true luna. Whether I like it or not, she is my mate and the luna of the pack.
Albert and I tried to cope up with the ceremony but after some time, we lied and ran away from the ceremony.
The moment we crossed the barrier of the pack, I caught a whiff of Renee. We must be getting near, but the loud thuds I heard did not announce good news. I glanced at Albert who ran even faster.
Finally, as we drew closer, I saw figures jumping here and there only for them to stop while one figure lay on the ground. It didn't take a genius to know that it was Renee.
Sensing our presence, the enemy concealed their presence as they quickly got out of the scene, seemingly disappearing. Unluckily for them, I was here. They were assassins, trained to be the very best at that, but my senses were sharp.
Arriving on the spot, I saw Renee lying on the ground, she was unconscious and was badly beaten. Something in me stirred, my wolf feeling angry that our mate was hurt because we weren't able to protect her right.
It was my wolf hurt not me so my body didn't move . I just watched her. I still didn't like her.
Albert, on the other hand, went straight for Renee. Although he was obviously seething, he gently scooped her under his arms and tried waking her up, but to no avail.
I followed Albert silently.
I could feel her pain, I could feel the hurt she felt and I couldn't help but continuously curse myself for hating her.
'This is our fault.' my wolf said angrily.
I agreed silently, I saw her. Our eyes met at the banquet hall, right when I announced that Carlo was back. Carlo, the one I have to marry as my luna. I saw the confused look on her face and I ignored it.
I should've went after her, I knew she didn't trust me, I should've went and talked to her. Instead, I stayed. Marrying Carlo as my luna wasn't my suggestion but her father mostly.
'We need to get her to a safe place.", Albert murmured
"She isn't so safe in her father's house", He added.
I didn't reply to him.
"How about Alpha, I chase after the enemy and kill them! They're still nearby and they're escaping as we speak." He again spoke but this time angrily, trying to take control.
'That's not important right now, getting treatment for Renee is the most important. She's already hurt badly enough as is.'I tried to reason logically, hating and cursing myself at that.
"Get them Bane or you will never talk to you again", My wolf intervened.
"Okay", I didn’t want to argue with it.
Turning towards Alec, I commanded him. "Handle her to me and find them," I said.
He didn’t hesitate putting the unconscious Renee in my hands. Then it hit me.
As soon as Albert ran off to catch the enemy, I made my way to a nearby cottage but with disbelief.
Our pack had cottages all over the pack land to use in case of emergency and I knew of one that was close by here.
But that wasn't the case.
The lady I hated mostly was in my hands. I didn't know what was happening to me but i wasn't angry and yet she was in my hands.
I looked down at her occasionally while trying to calm my thoughts.
This was all the moon goddess's work.
This girl had managed to disrupt the life that I planned out. And now she was in my hands.
I was ready to reject her verbally but I don't know what was still stopping me.
My feelings for her were starting to change.
"Ba..ne" I heard her whisper very lowly. The moment she did, my wolf took control. It made me look down at her. Her eyes were now slightly open, enough to look at me.
"Shh, close your eyes. You're safe now." I wasn't sure if that sounded comforting and internally chastised myself for not knowing how to make her feel better.
But still relief flowed through me when I saw that she was half conscious. Thank goodness.
We both fell into silence as I reached the cottage, opening the door. Turning on the lights, I was greeted with the tidied insides. Although it was a small space, it was big enough to have a few necessities. I made a bee line over the bed and gently made Hannah lie down.
Making my way to the nearby drawers, I opened them and saw a comforter along with a few clothes. I grabbed a white dress shirt that looked like it fit Renee perfectly.
"Why are you here?" I heard her ask weakly as I was grabbing a bottle of water over the cupboard. I looked back to see that she was staring at me with such confusion, unable to comprehend something.
I made my way towards the bed, grabbing a nearby chair and sat in front of her. Her eyes told me that she was tired, but she fought to be awake. Her bruises were healing and I didn't fail to notice how fast she was healing.
I handed her a bottle of water and to my relief, she took it but not after suspecting the bottle for a bit.
"Why did you run away?" I answered, trying to mask my anger. The real me wanted to come out.
She thought for a while, probably asking the same question to herself.
"You shouldn't have come." That was her response.
