The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 24

Ledger

I wake up with a nasty headache and my body hurts all over. The sounds of voices arguing nearby makes the throb- bing even more intense and it's all I can do not to claw at my head until the pain goes away. Somehow, I fall back into a deep sleep and when I wake up next, some of the pain is still there but it's tolerable. I sit up and look at my surroundings. I' m in my room back at home in England and I'm trying to re- member how I got back here.

Wait a minute... how did I know that this was my room and that I'm in England? Oh my God, I've got my memory back! I remember everything; everything down to the very last mo- ment before waking up here! Cici and Spencer. Oh God, where is Spencer? I go to stand up, but I get dizzy right away. Damn, what the fuck did they use on us? I try using a spell to get me back to normal, but it doesn't work. Cursing, I remem- ber now, Randy and Ronny, the Mitchell brothers; they sy- phoned my magic right after they beat me within an inch of my life. I remember how we were arguing about the Dark Moon pack. I was trying to lead them away, telling them that we had the wrong pack, but Randy had snuck behind me and hit me over the head. Suddenly I see clubs appear in their hands and they start beating me with them.

The bastards were laughing the whole time and chanting for me to die, and that I was nothing but a spoiled brat who needed to be taught a lesson. A voice inside of me growls, startling me, but then I remember my wolf. Closing my eyes, I concentrate on the presence within.

'Hello, what's your name?'

I get more growling.

'It's okay boy, I'm your human. You have been sleeping for a very long time, but now I want you to wake up. You are my wolf, are you not?'

'You are Ledger, my human.'

'Yes, I am, and you are my wolf, but I don't know your name.'

'I am Ares.'

'Ah, like the God of War?'
