Amoux point of view (Continuation of the Alpha party)
My heart beat faster because of what I heard the Lycan say. Damon, who was next to me was also shocked, and I saw the anger in his eyes.
'Shit, fuck, what does the Lycan mean?'
“Amoux, I think it's better if we stop eavesdropping on what the Lycan is going to say.” I glanced at Damon when I heard his voice through the mindlink. I saw the reddening of his eyes so I just nodded.
“Lycan, oh, I just totally heard that when I was a kid. But, are you telling me that Alpha Leah is a healer?” The eyes of the man the Lycan was talking to seemed to glint.
As far as I know many are looking for healers to benefit them. Other werewolves think that when there is a healer on their side, they can use them to prevent themselves from dying. That's why hunters weren't the only ones who were hunting a lot of healers, even their fellow werewolves for being greedy to prolong their lives.
I suddenly felt a tightness inside my chest, I felt that my heart was clenching. I actually remembered Lycan's original plans for Leah. He wanted Leah as my personal doctor so that whenever I needed her to heal me, she could quickly heal me.
“As far as I could remember, I didn't even say anything about that freaking Omega for being a healer. Don't you think that I would let her go easily if she was a healer?” I wonder why the Lycan decided to lie to the man that he was talking with. I know he hates Leah to death, but I don't know his true reasons for hating my mate.
I noticed that Damon was just walking away from me to stop himself from listening to the Lycan's conversation with his alliance. I know that it was prohibited to listen to what they were talking about but I couldn't stop myself, especially when they were talking about my mate– which is Leah.
“My apology, Lycan. I thought that you were telling me that the Alpha of the three packs was a healer.”
“You don't need to feel sorry about it. And to make yourself sleep without worries, I accepted your apology.” I'd also decided to leave the place that I was hiding, to hear what they were meeting about. I quickly followed Damon who was sitting in the corner part of the party hall. He took a drink with other guests.
“Damon, why make you stop to listen to what they were talking about? I am worried that he may have had another plan with Leah.” I decided to talk to him using the mind link so that no one could hear what we were talking about. I think that we need to be more cautious since I know that all of the guests here were loyal to Lycan.
“Amoux, I want to ask you something. Did you know how Leah's parents died?” I was stunned because he didn't even answer my question but he also asked me back. Seriously? Is he fucking with me?
But his question made me think cause I know that Leah's parents got weak from using their healing ability too much but I don't know if that is the real reason why they died. I learned that a healer's life will decrease every time they use their healing ability.
“I do not know-”
“I totally remembered that Leah was looking for a herbal leaf that can cure a disease but I didn't know what kind of disease she was talking about. Maybe, it might be the disease that killed her parents.”
“What are you talking about, Damon? Are you telling me that—”
“I am just thinking about what we heard that the Lycan said. We need to know what the symptoms of that disease are. I am certainly sure that this is one of the hunters' moves whenever they wanted to kill a healer.”
“But, Damon, it is too impossible for us to know about this matter. We can't go to human territory without the Lycan's permission, and also, we don't even know who the hunters are in the whole world.”
“I know that we don't even know a single hunter is it but we need to find them if we really want to know how they put a disease to a healer. I am just thinking that maybe Leah had that disease from the beginning but she didn't know about it cause she was still strong for now, and her life span is long enough to fight that disease.”
I can't stop myself but to worry after I heard what Damon had said. He had a point because even Lycan says that a healer can't even detect when there was a disease or sickness inside of their body. What if there is a hidden sickness in Leah's body? I don't want her to die! She's my mate and I need to protect her.
“I recalled that there were other werewolves who were engaging with the hunters. We need to know who they are so we can order them to find the answer for us.”
“You know that I didn't like to trust a werewolf who had an alliance with the hunters. They are willing to betray their fellow werewolves in exchange to kill them.”
Okay, I totally agree with Damon's opinion. He was right, I should want to trust them too, they were all greedy to become the more powerful in this world.
But how can we solve our problems? We didn't have anyone else to seek help to figure this out.
“I was surprised that the Lycan knew about this. Does it mean there was a mass assassination of all healers when we aren't born?” Damon added.
“I haven't heard anything about that. I think it would be better if we ask around if there are healers who are still alive or those who are hiding.”
“You know that all of the healers were afraid to get killed. I don't think they will let us know that they are a healer since they prevent themselves from using their healing ability.”
I frowned 'cause Damon didn't like all of my freaking suggestions. It's hard to admit but he has a point, healers were hiding so they can't be used or taken by greedy werewolves. I feel sorry for them because they all need to hide themselves to be alive, not to get hurt.
“I think we should first find out what really happened. Let's see if there is a current book that has the history of all the healers. But for me, we should tell this Leah. Since she was your mate.” I couldn't help but to feel surprised by what I heard. I don't know how he found out that Leah was my mate because he knew that Anaya was my destined mate.
“Wait. How did you know that Leah is my mate? I just found out that he is my mate tonight.” I heard him smirking while glaring at me.
“I am confused as to why you didn't even know that Leah is your mate. At first, I thought that maybe it was because she is an Omega that you didn't accept that she is your mate. Amoux, are you sure that you really don't know or maybe, you're just pretending that you don't know?”
“Are you insane? Are you accusing me of something I don't even know? I can't remember why I forgot that she was my soulmate or that I even dated her.”
We all stopped communicating using the mindlink when the Lycan went out. He was walking closer to us as if he was ready to go home.
“I want to take a rest. This night is the most tiring I have ever experienced.” Damon and I nodded then walked with Lycan exited in the party hall.
The next day, I overslept since I was thinking about Leah. I can't stop myself to fantasize that her being with me. I was walking with Damon when I felt my chest burning. I stopped walking and I felt my eyes go watery.
“Ahh!” Damon rushed towards me when I almost fell to the ground.
What is happening to me?
“Amoux!” I heard Damon panic while he was trying to support me from falling. A tear keeps flowing out of my eyes.
Why was I crying? Before I passed out, I saw Leah's image while kissing Brandon inside of the small bathroom.
Leah, why? I am your mate but why are you doing this to me? Leah please, don't do this, you are mine.
“Oh— Amoux!!” I slowly closed my eyes and I saw the clouds.
I don't want to die because of these feelings. I wanted to be with Leah, I wanted her so bad. I missed touching her, I missed her so badly that I am willing to sacrifice the throne for her.
