Chapter 184 - They Are Here!

Daisy hesitated for a second as she knew that she had gone against the orders of Richard for the second time in a single day. Even if he could forgive her once there was no way that he would forgive her twice.

"No! Luna is perfectly fine! But we.. we have found the beta!" her voice was still quivering as she did not hear any reply.

Richard narrowed his eyes, though he was relieved that Alex was found and fine! He could not believe that the girl had left Hazel alone. What if something happened to her!

"Daisy! I think I have told you clearly that you will not leave Luna alone even for a second!" his loud voice roared and everyone around him stopped running and searching for Alex as they turned to look at him.

The girl trembled and gulped. She knew this was her end, but she even knew that Alex needed immediate treatment. Even if wolves had the ability to heal, she was not sure what poisons were used by those hunters and how it could affect them.

"I have not left Luna alone, alpha.. She is.. She is with me in the woods. In fact, she is the one who found the beta!" 

The words echoed in the mind of Richard like a spell that put him in a daze! He should have known! He should have realized that their bond was stronger than he could think!

He was a fool to ignore it till now. His hands instinctively reached his neck where the mark of the mate appeared. When he had asked to mark Hazel, she had told him that he could not mark her since they both could have different mates.

Did she know that Alex was his mate at that time? His mind starred to fill with thousands of thoughts, each hurting him more than before. 

"Alpha, you can punish me anyway you want! But Beta is injured badly and his wounds are not healing! He needed immediate action!" When the reply did not come even after waiting for a while and the anxious eyes of Hazel started boring holes into her body, she braced herself and asked the man again.

Finally coming back to his senses, the man ran a hand in his hair and replied, 

"We are going to follow your smell and come there as fast as possible. Stay right there and if there were still arrows in his body, try to take them out first as they would continue to spread the poison!" with that he cut the mind link and turned to instruct all the warriors of his pack that were searching for Alex with him.

"Alex had been found by Daisy! Follow her smell! He is injured so we will take him to Hemlin!" They all exchanged glances as they heard all the conversation Daisy had with Richard but nodded their heads and started running behind Richard.

Yet all of them have the same question in their mind, why was Hazel about to find Alex when all of them failed even after looking for so long.

They still remembered how the Luna had denied being marked by the alpha. But none of them let their thoughts leak out in case Richard felt offended.

Daisy opened her eyes and gave an assured look to Hazel, "Luna, I have informed the pack. They will be here in a few minutes. Alpha had asked us to take out the arrows first. He said that the arrows are poisonous and might affect the health of beta!" with that she leaned closer to Alex whose eyes had closed now.

His head was in the lap of hazel as if he was trying his best to get comfort from her touch. This was the only thing that was keeping him alive.

As soon as he felt the proximity of Daisy, his eyes snapped open and he growled as if she was an enemy and Daisy took immediate steps back to save her neck.

"My lady, he would not let anyone touch him except you. His instincts are working and he did not recognize anyone except you. So you have to take out the arrows." she raised her head and looked at the hesitating Hazel with urgency.

Hazel took a deep breath as she braced herself. She had done that before. She had saved Richard once like that. She could do it again. But that time her hands were not trembling like now. 

She could feel so many emotions clawing her heart that she could not get hold of them.

"You have to do that luna!" Daisy whispered again when she looked at hesitating Hazel and even put her hands on Hazel's shoulder as if she was trying to give her strength.

Hazel nodded as she took a deep breath again! With determined eyes, she held one of the arrows and pulled it out with one swift motion.

"Woowwooo" a low growl escaped his lips as the pain hit him and hazel trembled but she knew he had to go through it to stay alive.

With another breath she took out another arrow. His whole bloody shuddered this time and the process continued until she took out all the arrows.

He had howled so many times that now only low whimpers left his mouth as she felt he was getting weaker and weaker.

"Where are they? Alex needs help now!" she glared at the girl who had said that it would only take a few minutes and daisy bit her lips.

Even she did not know why it was taking so much time. They were usually fast enough. 

"They would be here any…" before she could complete her sentence, they heard the sound of running. The whole earth was trembling with the intensity of force used by the beasts in running. Hazel sighed as she knew it was none other than Richard and others who had come to take Alex to the physician.

Daisy finally took a breath of relief as she whispered, 

"They are here luna. You do not need to worry anymore!"
