Denied, not rejected

Chapter 19

Alak's POV

       Stella is crying beside me as both of us are roughly being held by the pack members. I was shamelessly crying, sobbing, begging for them to help Khaled, but they just look at us with sad look.

       I watch the whole scene until Khaled feel unconscious, after that, Shawn seems to calm down as he weakly pushed himself off the man that he just beaten, that man, was his mate.

       I was in rage, I wanted to fight Shawn and snap his neck but I was more concern of Khaled's bloody vegetable face. His nose was broken, eyes are now black and violet as I could see circles rising on his face. He was badly bruised and wounded.

       "Khaled... Khaled!" Stella and I was free my grips of the strong men as we immediately went on the floor to tend Khaled. He was unconscious as blood continues to ooze out of his nose, mouth and some parts of his face.

        Fuck! How the hell is he supposed to survive this?! My heart was violently beating as my hands are shaking as I touched his face. I could clearly see those tears running out of his closed eyes.

        "Stella, Stella please baby call the doctor! Grab the herbals!" I yelled out and I heard her release a panicking high pitch scream before he went off. I look around and look at Shawn who's now currently being hugged by the late Luna and Alpha as if he's the one who's hurt. It's Khaled whom the should be concerned of and not be concerned of that fucker who doesn't know everything!

      I, once again give them a glare. I didn't open my mouth to say anything more to them because I'm beyond afraid that I might lash out here and say something that I shouldn't be saying instead, I focus everything on Khaled.

       He was big, but because of the rejection and the death of his wolf, he loses weight incredibly fast. He has this 'bear' type of a body; big, strong and a but hairy and now. He loses weight but he still looks big, only problem is that weight less.

       I got him on my shoulder before I rushed back up the stairs. How could this fucker wanted to see Khaled just to what? Just to fucking beat him! Yes, Khaled did something unforgivable but he's young and doesn't know how to control his damn urges and actions!

       "A-Alak," I found his room and gently place him on the soft bed when I heard my mate, Stella mindlinking me.

       "What is it babe? Please come here faster with he doctor," I immediately went searching for a bucket and I was lucky there was one at the corner of the room. I didn't waste anymore time rushing towards it and grab it.

       "T-The Stalum, there is none of it around!!" I literally heard her screaming her through the mind link. She's talking about a herbal plant. Fuck!! Without herbal plants, we can't help Khaled further other than just cleaning and disinfecting his wounds.

       "Backyard, I saw some of it there! Please baby hurry up!" We may sound like we're overreacting but this really is an important matter. We've failed to protect Khaled and now he's beaten like a damn vegetable!

       "I'm already here! I-there is nothing!" I hisses at the ney discovered new problem before rushing towards he bathroom. I filled the bucket with water before rushing back to Khaled.

      "Come back here, we'll wait for the pack doctor's instructions," I heard her saying a faint 'yes'. I then immediately tear up Khaled's shirt, exposing his bare chest as I used the torn out shirt to dip onto the bucket of water before gently cleaning his face out of blood.

       I was, literally about to cry as I clead Khaled. I forced myself not to cry and just continue on cleaning him up. It didn't take me long before he was free from blood.

       His nose...it was broken. Both eyes are badly beaten up, creating this violet, blue and black circle around them. How will he be able to recover from this? I'm sure there will be permanent damage that has done on his face.

      The fact that he let Shawn beat him until he was unconscious angers me. I wanted to find that fucker and literally kill him for what he has done to him. There is no damn way I'll forget about this.

       It didn't take long before the pack doctor burst inside the room in a hurry. I heard him gasp when he approached the unconscious Khaled. He must be as shocked as I am.

      "What the! What happened to the alpha?!" He immediately did his check up, checking up Khaled. He was doing his job with gentleness, a thing that Khaled needs.

       "K-Kyle's mate, Shawn, beaten him," I explained. I heard him hissing as if he wants the whole details. I went with it. "S-Shawn learned what happened t-that night...it angers him and came here and beaten him," I explained.

      "He wouldn't have done it, only if he understands what really did happened that night," he calmly explains as he further up his check up on the beaten face of our alpha.

       "You believe that he's innocent?" I asked, question if everyone really believes that Khaled would do such crime? Let alone to his own brother?

      "Like what you believe, beta. I have also believe that Khaled, would never do such thing. I think that it was his wolf that took the control over everything and no, it also wasn't his wolf's fault, they were acting on instinct...and wanted to secure their claim on their mate, but they could have waited," he give me a sad look.

      "And what made you think about that? I thought all of you would believe that he's the bad guy," I asked. Well, wherever respective you would look at the situation, Khaled had done wrong.

      "As a curious werewolf, observing is in my nature. I have seen the alpha when he was younger, often lashing out. He often yells, and dominate other pups his age. I have known him for having a thin-like control over his inner self. He would often faint anywhere at anytime, then would rise up with a strong, or some times, soft characteristics and nature. That's what I see in him," he further explained.

       "Here! Fuck, I'm sorry it took me a bit longer," my mate came to me and handed me the basket filled with herbals. I then handed it to the pack doctor as he examine the herbals.

      "There is something that's missing...but no worry, it's just a vitamin thing herbal," he explained as he took out a mortar and pestle from the basket filled with herbal plants and roots. He place the herbals on it and starts to beat it.

       A whole five minutes came and there was no leaves nor roots to be found, only a slimy green goo. He took some of it with his finger and started applying on our Alpha's whole face.

       "I'm sad to say this beta, but I can't assure you the complete recovery. He has lost his main healer; our wolves fasten our healing process. He's now a human...and I really am afraid that the beating will take temporary...or permanent effect on him. Let us just hope that effect won't be that bad," he added.

       He's a human...how much time will it take for him to recover? With his beaten up face, I'm pretty sure he'll recover within a few months.

      I can't believe I fucking get to see him being beaten to death right in front of me. I always swore to protect him and yet again... I've failed. But this time, I'll fucking sure he'll be safer with me and Stella.
