Chapter 116 - Savior

[Flashback]

.

"Darn it! What the heck just happened here!" Wondering with a frown grimace, Zeus closed the car door and stared intensively at the bloody sight. Those were two female bodies, lying on the road separated by a few meters apart. 

"Sir, it seems something terrible has happened here!" Blurting out aloud, Mr. Pavlov looked quite panic-stricken while he was gawking at the view. 

Without giving any response to his answer, Zeus firmly walked ahead towards the female who was lying in a bit closer proximity to him. As soon as he reached that lady, rolling his eyes while glancing around everywhere at the forest, sniffing the air a few times.

"Damn! I smell wolves here...nearby..." Thinking inside, he shifted his gaze down at the lady who was severely injured by the accident. 

Swallowed by impertinence, he knelt down on the ground to have a closer look at that lady, swirling his eyeballs. From a close view, she looked like a young high school student, smeared in blood. Her blood-soaked fine black hair was flickered on her face, covering it from being visible. Only a small portion of her lower jaw including her roseate soft lips was visible through the mess-like hair threads. Mr. Pavlov hastily ran ahead to monitor the second woman who was lying down at a nearby distance from her, swirling his pupils in horror. He gently held her blood-smeared wrist to check her pulse and indeed made a displeased face.

"Sir... This...This woman is...already dead." He shrieked in fear, looking back at Zeus who was still glancing at the high school girl, lowering his face down.

Hearing out his proclamation, Zeus slowly raised his arm and brought his broad two fingers closer to her nose hidden amidst mesh hair, to monitor her breathing. Miraculously, she was still alive, breathing very faintly! 

"This girl is alive." He raised his gaze up and mumbled in a deep voice, frowning his face.

"Really? Sir, then should we just take her to a nearby hospital?"

"Are you crazy?" Irked at his suggestion, he scowled at him grumbling in a rugged voice. "We have to attend our annual business meet and yet you are suggesting such silly advice?"

"But..." Fidgeting anxiously at his hoarse scolding, he slowly glanced at that young lady looking much morose. "Sir, if we wait and seek for medical help...till then...she might die too! She is also severely injured and--"

"So what? We don't have a choice apart from that. Call medical emergency and inform about this accident. I am sure some help would soon come here. I will head back to the car." He glanced back at her while commanding him in a deep voice, scrunching his eyebrows.

Mr. Pavlov seemed a bit distressed with his rigid, cold declaration and unwillingly nodded his head agreeing to it. He took out his phone and started to seek medical help walking a few steps away from them.

"There are wolves nearby, I can definitely sense them. I wonder if this all mishap has been caused by them..." Wondering inside his mind, he was about to stand up from the ground, heading back towards his car. As he was about to do it, suddenly, a strange incident happened!

Her right index finger flicked a little as if she was still conscious about what's going on around here! She was breathing heavily and her lips started to quiver in pain. She was trying to utter something in an unclear low voice which immediately caught Zeus's attention.

"Is she awake?" Thinking about it, he tried to lean his face a bit closer to observe her but found something peculiar instead!

Her blood smelled unusually sweet which he had never sensed in any human before. Moreover, the smell was quite captivating for animals, and without even realizing it, his insides started to crave fresh blood as his animal instinct was triggered by it.

"Damn! What's with this strange smell? It feels so strange--"

"Sa...Save me..." 

All of a sudden, he flinched hard as the young girl muttered out feebly gasping out a heavy breath of air. Her body seemed twitching in pain and she seemed struggling hard to make it through.

"Hey, are you awake now?" Frowning his grimace, he inquired her impertinently.

"Please...Please save...me... I...I want to...live..."

Uttering out in a gibberish tone, she lost her consciousness again. This time, her breath was gradually going slower as if her end moment was nearby...

Steadily looking at her motionless body for a few seconds, Zeus raised his glance up and looked at Mr. Pavlov who was desperately trying to seek medical help despite all network issues in such a desolated area. 

Taking a deep heavy sigh out, he further glanced back at her looking bothered. Watching her begging for her life, his cold heart was feeling a bit of pity for her helplessness.

"Though I didn't want to involve with any human today, yet you left me with no choice." Mumbling in a timid voice, he softly touched her head near the frontal portion with his broad palm. Immediately a spark of red mystic flame appeared out of his palm as a result of the touch! Swirling his pupils, abruptly they transformed into bright red dominant color while he was applying his supernatural power.

"I am healing you for now. Don't worry, you won't die till the medical help arrives. It's an alpha's word." While he mumbled in a feeble tone, the red flame that was emerging out from his palm immediately scattered around her entire body and it reflected a reddish flash of light before disappearing. The flame was the healing shield that he used at that moment to keep her alive. 

As soon as the flame disappeared in the thin air, Zeus moved away from his arms from her head and sighed out heavily. His eyeballs obtained the usual black form and he proclaimed out in a low tone, "don't appear before me again. I don't want to remind of memory of saving a human like you." 

.

"Sir, the ambulance will be here within 10minutes! This girl can be still saved now!" Mr. Pavlov almost came running back to him, grinning in bliss as he came up with the pleasant news.

"Alright, that means we can leave now."

"Yes sir, but...I feel bad for that woman," he pointed his finger towards the second woman lying down dead at a distance from them. "She seems to be the mother of this young girl... This poor girl will gonna be heartbroken once she wakes up."

Staying stiff and numb at his reciprocation, Zeus was glancing at her with a sullen deep gaze. "I feel pity for you that...probably...you will also have to live a regretful life like me..." He wondered before standing up from the ground.

Before turning back at his car, he softly glimpsed at the young girl for the last time who was still unconscious but her breathing was gradually turning to normal. Sighing a deep huff of breath, he started heading backward.

...

"Zeus!? Hey, Zeus??"

"Huh!?" Suddenly reviving himself back from the past flashback where he was immersed, Zeus shifted his gaze towards Eva who seemed much anxious, calling out his name quite aloud holding his arm.

"Zeus? What's wrong? Are you feeling sick? Are you alright?" She looked much intense, asking him consistently without a pause.

"M...Me?"

"Yes! What were you thinking here for the past few minutes? I...I called you several times but you weren't answering me! I got scared again that you might be feeling sick... Zeus, are you alright?" Clutching his broad palm in her slender soft arm, she continued while gawking at him.

"Ahh, yes. I am absolutely fine. It...it was nothing, I was just thinking about something trivial." Clearing his throat a bit, he tried to retaliate in a gentle voice to assure her further.

"Really?" Frowning her face anxiously, she sighed out deeply, "gosh, I was so damn scared! Pheww!"

"I am sorry for making you worry, Eva. I won't do it again." Further tightening his grip on her arm he whispered softly before cupping her side face tenderly.

"Al...Alright, then let's head towards our destination. Or else, we will gonna be late." Taking a peek at her wristwatch, she mumbled in a cold deep voice. Holding arms with each other, she started heading straight towards the bus stop with Zeus obediently following her lead.

"Why? Why did I remind of that young girl today? I...I wonder if she is alive or not...

But I am curious, where is she taking me today?" He wondered on his own, glancing at Eva impertinently.

"Don't fret too much, I am not kidnaping you." Peeping at him holding a warm smile on her face, she muttered out understanding his anticipation.

"Were you reading my mind, Eva?"

"No, but I want to assure you. The place is indeed special for me...and I hope you will gonna love it too." She chuckled.

A bit amazed at her confidence, Zeus reciprocated her assertion with a wide grin and a soft node while walking next to each other blissfully.
