Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 149

Third Person POV

AT the sound of the familiar roar coming from the direction of the Alpha's estate, every people in the tribe stopped what they are doing. They gazed at each to ask for reassurance that they indeed hear the same sound. Joyful cheers erupted to each and every corner of the territory.

Their alpha is back after a long while. The doubt and fear that has been surrounding them will finally disappear at the mere presence of the Alpha's wolf.

"Kent is back!" They chanted. Even the small children that were playing in the streets were pronouncing the same words.

Kent is back.

The whole place in town danced and clapped at the knowledge that the mighty wolf is back. The tribe will reign again as one of the powerful tribes. Gone was the apprehension that their alpha leader was wolfless.

Over the next few days, the tribe was in celebratory mood. They were happy that Kent is back. The Andrews also left the territory the next day after the expulsion that Victor has proclaimed on the night that Kent showed himself to his subjects. They have no more face to show since it was already uncovered that they were the source of the rumors against the alpha and his guests.

The punishment should have been death but Jason already made the sacrifice for them that Victor chose to give them banishment out of the tribe.

In lieu with the matter, Victor sent people to look for the dark witch that hurt the children at the market. After a week of fruitless endeavor, they finally found the witch hiding in the plain sight. She was brought to the estate before the alpha. "She is not talking, sir."

Victor peeked a glance at the woman inside the cell.

The woman was tied to the wall. She was blooded and her clothes were torn by the hem of the dress. Her hair was a mess and plastered on her face. There were scratches and discoloration in her wrist and ankle.

"She was found in the woods living with the locals. She lived alone and socialized with everyone to a bare minimum. Even the nearest neighborhood which was hundred meters away was surprised to learned that they were living with a dangerous person." Richard disclosed. "They denied being chummy with her."

He looked at his nerd beta. Richard's vocabulary has been improving. However, Victor already expected from the beta to know about the person. He was indeed very reliable.

"Do we have evidence that she was the person that we are looking for?'

The other man nodded.

"Potions and herbs were found in her hut. Even the knives that she was about to use were hidden in a box. Miss Mila confirmed that the potions are laced with poison together with the knives. The herbs are also rare plants and they were the same poison that was used at the children that has been harmed." He explained at the alpha.

"Everything is pointed at her?"

"Yes, sir."

They went silent as they observed the witch that appeared to be unconscious. She was unmoving but alive. Even at a distance, they can hear the woman's steady heartbeat.

"We tried everything, alpha. Miss Mila even made a potion that would make her speak the truth but it was of no use. She appeared to be immune of it."

"She is of no use to us, then?"

Richard nodded again.

The alpha is about to leave when the woman opened her eyes. Her attention went to the two men standing outside the metal bars of the jail cell.

A smirked flashed on her blooded lips when her focus zeroed on Victor.

"Hello, alpha." She greeted in a hoarse voice.

It seemed that she has been screaming lately.

"Why don't you ask me what you want to know?" The witch moved her head so that her messy hair will not obscure her view of Victor.

"Why don't you tell me what I want to know?" The mighty alpha said instead.

He earned a chuckled from the woman. Contrary to the expected witchy laugh, it sounded like a dry cough.

"I'm sorry for my poor appearance, by the way. I did not know that we are going to be seeing each other face to face. I thought I still have a few days before your men showed up on my door." Victor shrugged.

"No worries. I expect less from you. A woman that hurt innocent children should not look any better."

The woman laughed again but it was followed by a real cough. She spit blood mixed with saliva on the dirt floor.

"The true enemy is cloth in a sheep's clothing, alpha."

What she said caught Victor's attention. He stared at the woman.

"Tell me then."

"They said you are powerful. A mighty one. Show it then, King."

"Who are the 'they' that you are talking about? Let us cut to the chase, witch."

"You are powerful enough to have found your wolf again, alpha. You can find what you are looking for. Just be careful who to trust. That would be your downfall."

The witch knew which string to pull. Kent is already agitated inside him at what she has been insinuating.

Is she trying to warn him? Or she just wanted him to doubt every person around him.

"Tell me where the dark witch is hiding?"

Instead of responding to him, the woman sent him a sneer.

"You will die if you refuse to speak." He warned.

"Either way, I'm dead. Removing the Andrews out of the picture is just the tip of the iceberg, alpha."

After regarding the woman, Victor left the prison cell. He ordered his beta to get rid of the witch since she seemed to be not going to start talking about what he needs to know. With her alive is a threat to the people of the tribe. Since he already announced that he has fully recovered, he has been moving about in the estate on his feet. There is no need for him to act like he was still an invalid and wolfless alpha.

He went to look for the woman that has been the reason why he was already on his feet.

He found Lauren in the sun room with her friend. They were having tea and laughing at something that Mila had said.

"And the man of the hour is here." The administrator of the hospital said with a smile.

Mila picked the teacup from the table and sipped at it. Her teasing eyes were on Lauren who was smiling widely at her alpha.

"Hello, Mila." He greeted as he approached the woman who made his heart beat faster than normal.

He kissed the top of Lauren's head.

"Can we have a moment, Mila?"

"Yes, sir." The witch saluted before she stood. She left the couple after a while.

"Everything alright, my alpha?"

Victor sat beside his personal caretaker. He grabbed Lauren's hand and enclosed it with of his.

"I am worried." He muttered with sincerity.

"About?"

"Your ability has been exposed. It has been a long time since the likes of you has been known and she had a bad fate."

Using her free hand, Lauren caressed the skin between Victor's eyes. She massaged the knot that has formed there.

"I am fine. I can protect myself. I have been stronger since I have been with you." Lauren smiled at her partner. "I think, that's because we are true mates."

He sighed.

"Not only that your life is in danger because your power has been exposed but also, the people learned that you are my true mate. My enemies will use you against me."

"I trust that you will protect me."

"With all my life."

Cutting the space between them, their lips touched.

Victor pulled his mate closer to his body. He lifted Lauren and placed her on his lap, their lips were still connected.

As if she remembered something, Lauren pushed Victor. She looked around them only to realized that they were alone.

When her eyes went back to her mate, Victor was frowning but his hands remained on Lauren's lower back.

"What if someone came in?" She said with embarrassment.

"No one with half a mind will disturb us."

"How would you know that?"

"I will cease his existence."

Lauren's eyes widened but eventually released a heartly laugh. She pinched the alpha's cheeks before giving his lips several small kisses.

"I'll still say no, my alpha."

"Lauren..." He groaned.

"No. This is no place for whatever you have in mind."

"Then I will bring you to the place when I can do whatever I have in mind."

Before Lauren could even say her response, she was lifted off her ass. Victor carried her like a sack of potato and ran out of the sun room. The female doctor's giggle resonated in the silent wall as they thread in the direction of the bedroom. Anyone who can hear the couple's antics shook their head as they smiled to themselves. They were happy that their alpha finally found his true mate. The woman who accepted him even when he was at his worst.
