The Female Warrior And The Alpha Episode 43 by Yasminne

Theme : Emily

Emily’s POV
I waited patiently by the front door, every now and then checking for any signs of a car approaching. Theo mind-linked me, informing me that Elisia was on her way to my place. I let out a anxious breath, wondering how everything was going to go down.
I sat on the lowers steps of my staircase, recalling the conversation I had on the phone with Theo earlier. He explained that there was a rogue problem and that they were after Elisia.
I had to admit, I don’t know too much about her other than her reputation as the first female warrior in the country. Of course, I got to know about her peculiar chest problem due to my brother informing me.
Just as I was about to take on her medical case, Theo reassured me that it was sorted and that they have found the cause of the problem. Of course as a medical professional, I was apprehensive and didn’t believe him. However after analysing her results, I believed the cause of her chest pain was figured out.
Ethan was right about his suspicions, her chest pain has nothing to do with her physical health. It was plausible that she had figured the reason of her pain all on her own, that’s why I stepped back and closed the case.
I was curious to get to know her, what kind of person is she? Theo seems to be hell-bent on protecting her…
I heard a car pull up in my driveway, making me stand up and rush to open the front door. I watched Drew get out the drivers seat and rush to the other side to open the other door. The passenger beat him to it, and opened the door before he could.
“I’m supposed to open the door for you.” Drew teased her, stepping back as she hopped out.
“You don’t have to do that for me.” The passenger chuckled. She closed the door shut, noticed me by the door and waved with a bright smile.
I was a little taken aback, but waved back nonetheless. I watched her approach me with a shy smile, to which I smiled back.
“Do you mind if we talk for a while before you whisk me away to the airport?” I asked Drew with a smile.
“No problem, take your time.” He said, turning the engine off. “I’ll just chill in here.”
He leaned his chair back and brought his phone out to watch something. I looked away and settled on the girl in front of me, I had to admit – she was gorgeous.
She watched me with a shy expression, her gray eyes searching for any hostility from me. Her brown hair was wavy and very long, reaching waist length. There was a feeling of innocence surrounding her, you wouldn’t ever imagine someone like her be a warrior.
She looked almost angelic, besides one thing.
“Why are you covered in blood?”
She looked down at herself in surprise, taking in her blood stained outfit.
“Ah, rogues.” She shrugged, waving it off. I stared at her, understanding it was wrong to underestimate her based off her looks.
“Right, come in.” I said, widening the door for her to come in. I glanced at Drew to see if he also wanted to come in, but it looks like he made himself very comfortable. I closed the front door behind me and gestured for her to go down the hall.
We reached my living room and sat down on the sofas before speaking.
“Hello, I’m Emily.” I introduced myself. I was hoping to find out what she’s like.
“I’m Elisia, it’s nice to meet you.”
“Congratulations on your win.” I said, referring to the Irene and Elisia fight.”Thank you!” She said gratefully, her expression lighting up. “And…thank you for doing this and helping me.”
I nodded and said, “You’re welcome, but I’ll be honest when I say I agreed to do this because Theo asked me.”
Her expression darkened a little when I said that, making my curiosity peak. “What do you mean by that?” She questioned, still keeping her smile.
I held back a flinch, not liking how the tension in atmosphere changed around us. There was a particular aura around her, a very powerful one – suddenly I was intrigued. That aura was special, and I couldn’t put my finger on it. I needed to push her a little more, maybe then I’ll figure it out.
“Well, when a handsome man asks you for a favour, you don’t turn it down easily.” I chuckled, wanting to see her reaction.
What is her relationship with Theo? By her reaction, I would’ve assumed they’re mates, but everyone knows how hard it is to refrain from completing the mate bond.
Elisia arrived here almost two months ago. I narrowed my eyes at her, no way have they suppressed mating for this long. It would honestly be easier to reject each other than to put yourselves through that.
Maybe I should rule out the possibility of them being mates…
“He is handsome.” She said in agreement. The aura was fading away just as quickly as it appeared, my chance of figuring out that aura also disappeared. This Elisia girl got a hold of herself and her emotions before I could read into anything.
“You two seem close.” I commented, my curiosity getting the better of me. She raised her eyebrow at me and nodded. I sighed at her silence and let it go, I’ll figure it out some other time.
“Okay, so let’s go over everything.” I told her. “I’ll wear the clothes you’re wearing now and-“
I stopped mid-sentence as I realised something. “I have the same hoodie!”
She looked down at her black hoodie and then at me, looking relieved. “Really? That means you don’t have to wear this blood stained one.”
I nodded, glad that things have turned out this way. “Although, it looks like I’ll still have to wear your pants and sneakers.”
She shrugged. “No problem.”
“As you know, I’ll be pretending to be you until they finally catch on that I am not you. Hopefully by that time, The Imperial Pride Pack warriors are in position and can attack, I will be returning back here as soon as possible.” I explained. “You will stay here until Theo comes back to get you, which will probably be in around thirty minutes.”
“Theo is coming back here? I didn’t know that.”
“Yeah, he mind-linked me when you left the manor.” I reassured her. “He usually comes out around this time to shift and hunt so Kobi won’t suspect anything.”
I cringed from uttering his name, I’ve always detested that little fucker.
“You don’t like him.” Elisia said, observing my face. I nodded at her statement, although I wanted to correct her and say that I hated him.
“He used to bully me.”
Her eyes widened as sympathy pooled into her expression. I held my hand up before she could take pity on me and said, “It’s not that big of a deal.”
Yes, it was.
I still resented him for it. You could imagine how satisfied I felt when Theo informed me that Kobi was working with the Rogue Force. I had a feeling he was going to pay, finally.”He’s going to pay, don’t you worry.” Elisia said, her voice breaking my trance. She wore a dark, and dangerous expression. “He will pay, in blood.”
I couldn’t help but smirk at her words, what an interesting girl.
“Theo will arrive here and you two will head towards the third town.” I continued to say. “He told me you both have unfinished business to do?”
Her eyes widened a little in realisation before she nodded.
“You won’t be taking the main route there, you’ll be going through the forest. It’s likely you’ll have to shift into your wolf form if you want to get there before sunset. Theo will try to sneak out a bag filled with both yours and his stuff.”
“We’ll be staying in the third town, right?” She asked.
“Yes.”
She shuffled towards me wearing a grateful expression. “I can’t express how much I appreciate your help, thank you so much.”
“It’s not a problem.” I waved it off with a smile. “Family comes first before questions.”
She tilted her head at me, her nose scrunched in confusion. “You’re related?”
“Theo and I, we’re cousins.”
She leaned back, her eyes wide in wonder and awe. “So Ethan is also related to him. You guys are the only relatives of his I’ve met.”
I smiled sadly. “That’s because we are his only relatives.”
Elisia inspected my face with curiosity, probably looking for any similarities between Theo and I. Ethan and I inherited the same jet black coloured hair, like Theo, but we have different coloured eyes. We have hazel coloured eyes whereas the Alpha’s eyes are a stormy, dark blue colour.
It had been a while since Theo called me personally, you could say I was startled but happy. Even though he only called for help, at least he finally reached out after years. I have Elisia to thank…or the Rogue Force…or whoever.
I shook my head to get rid of the sudden sad emotions I felt and stood up. “It’s time to get into action!”
I headed towards my dining table and handed her a casual outfit of mine, consisting of black jeans and a white T-shirt. “You can wear my denim jacket, it’s quite chilly today.”
She nodded and hurried to the bathroom to get changed, while I ran upstairs to find the same hoodie she had on. After a couple of minutes, I finally found it squished at the bottom of my wardrobe. I put it on and went downstairs to find Elisia dressed in my clothes.
She handed over her clothes for me to wear. “I used wet wipes to get rid of the blood stains on my pants and sneakers, it worked pretty well.”
I mumbled a thanks, went into the bathroom and changed into the pants and sneakers. I placed her hoodie elsewhere and opened the door to let her in while I brushed my hair out.
“I think we could totally pull this off.” I said, watching our reflection. “It’s a good thing that we’re the same height and have the same body type.”
I studied myself in the mirror as I fixed my shoulder length hair, emphasising my side part. I put on gloss on my cherry plump lips and pondered on what else to do as I analysed my dewy skin.
I heard Elisia take a sharp intake of breath as she regarded me closely. I glanced at her, my arched eyebrows inclined slightly in question.
“I-I’m sorry, it’s just that you’re really pretty…” She faltered, looking away. Her words made me blush, there was something amazing about getting compliments from someone of the same gender. I just think there is more sincerity held in them.”Thank you.”
“How old are you?” She asked, shuffling from one side to the other.
“Same age as Theo, twenty one.” I replied, surprised that she didn’t know already.
“Woah, what?” She exclaimed, her eyes wide. “Then how the hell are you a doctor at such a young age?”
I sniggered, it was always the same reaction from people who realised I was too young to be qualified in my field.
“I went to college early, very early. It was deemed appropriate for me to continue education at the level of my intelligence and competence.” I explained.
“So…in other words, you’re a genius?”
“Yes.”
“Damn.”
“However, I was not able to practice on my own until early this year. I had to be supervised with every patient I had, it was annoying. It wasn’t until I became twenty one that The Board of Physicians finally acknowledged my knowledge and skills and agreed to let me work solo.”
“I bet that was frustrating…”
“You bet it was. They knew my brain was wired differently to someone else my age, however they refused to allow me to practice without supervision. Dumb logic, if you ask me.” I sighed, rolling my eyes. “I’m glad I had Ethan to back me up the entire journey, I would’ve had to face all these men alone in this male dominated profession.”
“Times are changing, remember when lawyers and engineers were a male dominated profession? Not anymore!” Elisia chuckled. “Well, I’m not sure about the humans but we have definitely evolved.”
“Times are changing.” I murmured in agreement.
Wait.
What was the time?
I hurried to put on my small bag, I packed it with my documents and necessities. I gasped once I had a look at the time on my phone, and ran outside to Drew. Elisia was one step behind me, looking anxious.
“We’ve got to go!” I exclaimed, putting on my hood and sliding into the passenger seat. “Let’s go!”
Drew jumped, startled at my yelling, causing his phone to fall flat on his face. With a dazed look, he adjusted his seat and turned on the engine. I lowered the window down to talk to Elisia, but she was on her phone wearing a concentrated frown.
“Here.” She said, showing me the screen. I looked at her in confusion once I saw what was on it.
“A phone number?”
“It’s Jay’s, just in case something happens.” She explained. “After all once you land, you’ll be far from our reach. Jay and my family can help if you encounter any problems.”
I put the number into the dial pad and saved it as ‘Jayden Steel’. I froze once I was engulfed in a warm hug, the upper half of her body was in the car through the window.
“Be safe.”
Still feeling surprised by the sudden hug, I slowly hugged her back too. “I will.”
And with that, we said our goodbyes for the last time before Drew driving away. I could stop the smile that was spreading across my face, she was really sweet. My driver took a double take when he saw my grin.
“Oh, you’re smiling?” He exclaimed, his jaw hanging open. Just like that my smile disappeared, and I jokingly slapped his arm. “I can smile when I want to!”
I sighed and looked out the window, feeling uneasy all of a sudden. My house is pretty safe, but I felt weird about leaving Elisia there all on her own. Especially with all these rogues regularly infiltrating our borders.”I don’t really understand what is going on, but I know it’ll all work out.” He spoke up, not looking away from the road. When we finally reached the airport, I said goodbye to Drew before rushing to board the private plane that was waiting for me.
I found the gate pretty easily, and went through security like a breeze. Although, I noticed one security guard in particular was staring at me closely. After a of couple minutes, he strolled away and started to talk into his phone.
“The package is coming.”
I had my hood up the entire time and avoided eye contact, he was human but I was told to be wary of them too. I was shocked and horrified to find out humans were being used as tools by the rogues.
I got onto the jet, slumped in the cushiony seats and sighed. Clearly I couldn’t let my guard down, even around humans. I kept myself busy to prevent myself from falling asleep, like I usually do on flights.
Do not sleep.
Do not sleep.
It was like a mantra in my mind, but my eyes kept shutting. I stretched to get rid of the drowsiness and cracked my fingers. I should ask for a drink, a cold glass of water might help.
“Hello poppet.”
I looked up to find a middle-aged man with eerily yellow eyes, and golden teeth smiling down at me. He wore a smart black suit, and had a white kitchen towel slung over his left shoulder – he worked here.
“Hello.” I replied with a small smile. His smile widened as he took in my face, making me feel uneasy. Who was this guy?
I couldn’t smell any werewolf scents, or rogues scents for that matter. I would’ve concluded that he was a human, but there was something off putting about him.
“Would you like a glass of water?”
“Yes.” I said, almost automatically. I cursed myself for giving that reply, while he was handed a tall glass of water by a flight attendant.
“Here you go, enjoy the rest of your flight.” He said, placing the glass on the wooden table.
I thanked him, leaned back and closed my eyes to avoid any more interaction. It could also be seen as a plausible excuse for not drinking the water. I didn’t trust anyone, so best believe I won’t be eating or drinking anything during the flight. Especially from that dodgy man…
“I don’t know if you can hear me, but I may be in trouble. There is a weird guy with yellow eyes and teeth, I have a bad feeling.” I tried to mind-link Theo.
I shivered from how cold it was, I should’ve got a coat. Suddenly I heard a shuffle beside me, making me open my eyes in alarm. What was he doing?
“Would you like a blanket, Miss? You seem to be cold.”
I nodded curtly, not wanting to seem like I was refusing everything . He brought out a blue blanket from the overhead space for carry-ons, unfolded it and proceeded to put it on top of me.
I stopped him immediately with a frown. “I can do it, thanks.”
“Ah, I guess you’re not used to luxury treatment.” He retorted, his yellow eyes swirling with mischief. He didn’t let go of the blanket, making me pull it away from him.
“I’m not.”
We had a little game of pulling and tugging before I had enough and was about to let go, but the I felt a little prick in my wrist.
I pulled back immediately, inspecting the area. My heart rate increased as I realised the prick was from him, my gaze quickly zeroed in on his right hand. He wasn’t quick enough to hide his hand, I noticed a small vial attached to a needle.
Pretending to be aloof, I rubbed the area with a confused expression. I yawned and announced I was going to go to the toilet. Theo hadn’t replied, which meant I was too far for the message to reach him.
I walked towards the toilet, feeling the guy’s stare drilling into my back. All of sudden, my phone started to feel heavy and bulky in my pocket. I hoped he didn’t catch on…
Once I closed the door and locked it, I brought out my phone and started to type quickly. Theo was too far to do anything, I had to rely on Jay. The screen looked hazy and jumbled as I tried to type correctly, what was I injected with?
“Help! It’s Emily! I’m on the jet with humans that work with the rogue Force. He has yellow eyes and teeth and I-.”
BANG! BANG! BANG!
“Open up poppet!”
I pressed the send button, praying that it will send once we land. Maybe if I’m lucky, the text will go through even though we’re this high up.
I silenced my phone, and hid it behind the row of scented toilet rolls. I knew if I came out with it, he would probably break it and destroy any hope that help is coming.
I opened the door with a huff, and glared at him. “This isn’t the kind of service I paid for!”
I strutted out, well I tried to…
Once I took a step, my legs gave out beneath me and I fell towards the floor. I tried to move my limbs, but couldn’t. A paralysing drug?
The flight attendant came back, saw me sprawled on the floor and rolled her eyes.
“It took you long enough, Killian.”
My heart stopped as I watched him crouch down to my level.
Killian?
His devilish, glowing yellow eyes were the last thing I saw before slipping into darkness.
