Chapter 101
Akira's POV
My body tensed up as the line died off and I kept calling Vida, but she didn't take any of my calls after that, "oh God, I hope she is fine," I murmured, my heart pounded in my chest, a constant reminder of how my actions might have exposed Vida to danger, she might be strong to defend herself but those men in that house were werewolves, I don't even know how many they are there, my eyes move to the wall clock and every tick of the clock on the wall felt like an eternity and torment on my stubborn heart.
I glanced at her phone for what must have been the hundredth time in the last hour. Still no message. No call. Nothing. This is unlike Vida, no matter what happens, I know she will find a way to inform me that she is fine with all my calls and messages unreturned, it only makes me more worried, my eyes flickered toward the door, hoping that at any moment it would swing open and Vida would walk in, bringing the news I so desperately wanted to hear and that she is saved, nothing happens to her.
The minutes dragged on, and my stomach twisted with dread. At this point, I was no longer worried about Wolfie's condition but Vida's, I didn't want to think about the worst scenario, but it kept creeping into my mind the possibility that something terrible must have happened to Vida, the thought of that makes my heart clutched and my blood vein close.
Vida was my best friend and my family, I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to her because I was in love, and I couldn't control my heart, I didn't want anything to happen to Vida.
Maybe, I wouldn't have been this scared if I hadn't found out that Wolfie and the others are wolves. Wolves are dangerous creatures, and with those attacking me, I could not cross my heart that they are harmless animals.
I am still not able to wrap my head around this whole thing.
When the waiting was becoming unbearable, I decided to go back to Wolfie's mansion to check for my friend and sister, just when I couldn’t stay put anymore, the door to the apartment opened. This time, it was Vida. My heart leaped into my throat as I ran towards her and pulled her into a hug.
My arms wrapped around her while her hands were beside her, and her body stiffened, I guess she wasn't expecting my reaction, "hey, what is going on? Stop acting like I just escaped death," she murmured.
"Stop being mean," I said with a shaking voice.
"I am not being mean, you are choking me, I can't breathe," she said that was when I realized, I was hugging too tight.
"Sorry, I was just excited that you weren't hurt," she sighed pulling from me. "Tell me, did they hurt you? I am sorry, I didn't mean to put you in danger," my words came out in rolls and Vida looked at me with that stoic expression.
"Stop being dramatic, they are humans like us also, they are not going to hurt me because they don't attack people just like that, they only attack their enemies not harmless people," she defended them, Vida was quick to accept them, unlike me, loving the male and hating his wolf side, do I even hate his wolf side?
I run my hand on my nape, I wish I could just accept their creatures like Vida, maybe, if I had believed it, read more about them, and watched those movies about them, it would have been easier for me, I shake my head looking at Vida, pushing all my worries behind, “please don't give me that look, they didn't hurt me, fine, his cold voice rattle me but that doesn't mean that he was going to hurt me, he was only looking out for his alpha nothing more," my eyes went to Vida.
"Did you find Wolfie? Did you see him? Is he okay?” My voice came out in a frantic rush, desperation lacing every word, this moment I was worried for Vida and the next I was getting anxious for Wolfie.
She swallowed, her gaze lower to the floor as she slammed to the couch, she shook her head slowly, and my stomach dropped.
“He wouldn’t let me see him,” she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper.
My heart sank. I stumbled back, collapsing into the chair. “What do you mean? What happened? Where is he? Is he alive? What did Meredith say?”
She shut her eyes running a hand through her hair. She looked exhausted like she had escaped from Meredith and his men but she told me that they didn't hurt her, I want to believe that. “I think he is at the mansion but I don’t know what condition he’s in. The male named Meredith refused to let me see him or give me any details. He just told me, you could call by tomorrow, and that he is fine."
My breath hitched in my throat. “Why didn't Meredith let you see him? Is he in some kind of danger?”
“I don’t know, all he said was that he would be fine," she said, her voice cracking. “I tried to get more information, I swear, I wanted to search the rooms myself but Meredith was being annoying and asked that one Mr. Austin bring me home,” I smile, she used his name without adding any title to it, she was on a first-name basis with him but not with Austin.
"Austin?" I asked with curiosity and she nodded.
"Yeah, they were three in the mansion apart from Mr. Williamson and probably Wolfie."
Tears welled up in my eyes. I had been holding onto the little hope that wolves heal themselves just as Vida said and even if it wasn't so, Vida would come back with good news, that Wolfie had simply woken up and that he would visit me soon, even I don't know what I wanted. One minute I don't want a wolf and the next I couldn't live without this wolf.
“I don’t understand,” I whispered, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand. “Why wouldn't they let you in, and why is he not healing like you said, wolves heal themselves.”
“I know,” Vida said, stretching her hands to touch my shoulder, “I know I said that and that is what wolves do, I don't lie, even if I am to lie not to you, he was supposed to heal himself but if he hasn't healed himself, it only means..." Her words were interrupted, with loud pinging from her phone, "fuck lady Cassandra, she doesn't even know when to text," her brows furrowed seeing the caller, "I got to go, lady Cassandra, needed me at the bar,"
"Oh, you should go but I think you should stop this work, I could ask Casper to employ you?" She tilted her head to me.
"When last did you talk to him? You always call him when you need him, I know I said used him to get Wolfie but now, Wolfie is yours already, maybe, you should get rid of him," I look at Vida.
"You are one heartless bitch and I wondered why don't you have a boyfriend?" she narrow her gaze.
"I need money, not a boyfriend." She said before grabbing her things and leaving the apartment. Waving her goodbye, smiling at her words. She needed money, I hope she could tell me the same thing when she fall in love, I sighed as the last words 'love,' echoed in my head, I was supposed to lock the door after Vida left instead I grabbed my phone to call Wolfie, even though I know she said Meredith asked that I called him tomorrow, the number wasn't going through, "leave a message uh, asshole?" I snarled.
"Asshole? Who is the asshole?"
