Chapter 70 What Happened?
[Patrick’s P.O.V.)
“So, Dr. Baldwin, you’re saying that I can have unprotected sex with a human and that the child born from the pregnancy will not be a pure human but have werewolf blood and his own wolf?”
“Exactly, Beta.”
“Then what harm will this do to the mother of the child? I mean, wouldn’t a human giving birth to a mixed-race child be risky?”
“As far as I know, the only harms she might face are that her womb will be expanded to the extreme and she will have difficulty during childbirth since werewolf babies are always larger than human babies. If Beta is still concerned about this, I suggest sending the human girl to Cluster Hospital for a check-up and to go through childbirth there to avoid the fuss of the human doctors. I will make sure that the baby and the mother are safe.”
Just as I was about to ask a few more questions, Dr. Baldwin’s cell phone rang. He lowered his head to check as I sat opposite him. Baldwin’s family had been doctors of the pack for generations. He was kind, reliable, and had excellent medical skills. I was still thinking about what he had just said to me.
When he finished reading the message, he immediately stood up. “Beta, I’m sorry, but your consultation may need to be rescheduled.” “What happened?”
“Alpha and Luna are on their way back to the castle. They asked me to immediately prepare quarantine measures and medical equipment to treat bites and falls. I don’t know what exactly happened.”
I thanked Doctor Baldwin for his advice and immediately ran outside. I knew that Alpha and Luna had gone to Southern Wilderness Pack early this morning. I didn’t go with them because Alpha had given me a break to enjoy my passionate love with Diana since I wanted to discuss with Diana about settling down with her after consulting the doctor.
If Alpha or Luna was injured, I would never stop blaming myself. After all, one of my duties as Beta was to keep both of them safe.
I ran outside the castle and looked in the direction of the approaching car. A moment later, the SUV stopped in front of me and I noticed that Alpha was driving while Luna was in the passenger seat. The top of the car was slightly dented.
Thankfully, Alpha and Luna seemed to be OK, but Dylan was in the back seat with his hands tied, sitting next to an injured Clyde. Why was he with the others?
I untied Dylan and he made his way to the group infirmary. Then I, along with two other nurses, carried Clyde on a stretcher to the infirmary.
“What happened?” asked I to Alpha on the way to the infirmary.
“It’s a long story. We were attacked by monsters. Let’s go to the infirmary first.”
Monsters? If a werewolf called another species a monster, then it might really be a monster. I was surprised that there were monsters in Southern Wilderness Pack. Hadn’t it been abandoned for many years?
When we reached the infirmary, we split into three groups. Dylan was voluntarily sent into a small room. I heard that he had been bitten by a monster, so he needed to be isolated for observation. Doctor Baldwin decided to treat the injured Clyde, while the other doctors carried out a full body examination for Alpha and Luna.
When Luna went in to be examined, Alpha pulled me to the side and whispered to me. “Keep an eye on Clyde.”
I nodded silently. I knew that if Alpha hadn’t told me what was going on, it was just not the right time.
When Luna was done, Alpha took her back to their room. Strangely, Luna looked confused and guilty, like a child who had done something wrong.
I stood guard at Clyde’s door without making it obvious. I decided to send a quick message to Diana, telling her that something urgent had happened in the pack today and that I would come to see her another day. She asked what had happened, but I told her that even I didn’t know yet. My sensible girl comforted me and said that she would wait for me.

I had wanted to meet Diana to tell her that I was going to buy an apartment downtown so that if her mother or someone else came to visit her from Beaufort or someone else that is also far away, we would be able to host them. Moreover, it could also be a place Diana and I could stay sometimes.
I hoped Diana would accept my idea. Honestly, I wanted her to live with me in the pack because my job required me to be here most of the time. But I also didn’t want to be an imposing and horny Beta.
Regardless, I had to put those thoughts and plans aside for now. I hadn’t seen Alpha look this serious in a long time, which only made me even more curious about what had happened to them today.
