Three Alphas, Fated To One, Played By One, But Mated To One-Chapter 41: Slip Up

Karl’s POV

I watched as Mike walked towards me with worry nearly twisting his face, but I couldn’t bring myself to feel sympathy for him.

Looking at him, I remembered the doctor’s words.

"Valerie had a two inch fracture on her head and a burst vein. If you had been even a little later, she wouldn’t have been able to make it. She would have bled to death."

Remembering those words, I felt my heart shudder.

She was my chosen prey. Yet someone had nearly taken her from me before I could catch her.

How could my life experience such failure? I will never allow it.

Just as Mike opened his mouth to ask about Valerie, I stood up and delivered a punch square on his face.

The rage surging within me was unstoppable as I delivered punch after punch and before we knew it, both of us were fighting and rolling on the corridor without a care for our prestige.

A few warriors were informed about the commotion and came over to separate us.

"How could you hurt her so much? She would have died if I got here a few minutes later, did you know that?" I growled at Mike once we were separated.

"I didn’t mean to hurt her so much. I just wanted to teach her a lesson." Mike replied with an even voice.

Although he tried to hide it, I could feel the tremor in his voice.

He was scared that Valerie would die.

"She left the hospital yesterday and now she is back again because you wanted to protect the reputation of that whore you chose as Luna." I couldn’t help myself when I heard him say he didn’t do it on purpose. I always wonder if my friend was really blind or pretending to be blind.

Innocent was such a fake person. How was Mike blind to her character so much?

"Don’t insult my Luna Karl. I know I was wrong, but you of all people should know that I would never want her dead." Mike argued but I wasn’t having any of that.

"You probably want her dead more than anyone. After all, she is a shame and humiliation to you, right? Why don’t you just reject her then? Let me have her to myself?" I completely forgot our agreement out of anger and spilled the beans.

Mike seemed to be also enraged and shouted back at me.

"She is my mate. Why should I let you have her?"

Gasps rang in the corridor like a chorus. Only then did we realize that in the heat of the moment, we had let the cat out of the bag.

There were too many people in the corridor and others in the hospital rooms. We couldn’t take back what we said nor could we prevent so many people from spreading it.

Within half an hour or even less, everyone in Night claw pack and probably beyond would know that Mike was mated to the slave of the pack.

I regretted my impulse immediately because now that everyone knew about Valerie being Mike’s mate, it would be harder for me to achieve my goal and sleep with her by winning her over.

But I love challenges and since the challenge had become more complicated, it would give me even more pleasure winning in the end.

Even if I went back to my pack, I will still pursue Valerie.

I walked back to the bench and sat down, ignoring all the curious looks people were giving me and Mike.

It wasn’t that I didn’t see them, but I didn’t care. It was my first time losing control ever since I came to the Night claw pack, but I never regret things I have done.

Since everyone now knew about the mate bond between Mike and Valerie, let it be.

Anyway, even if I pursue her, no one could blame me. Mike has already chosen his Luna and even announced it during his ascension ceremony.

The operation took four hours and by this time, more people had crowded the second floor.

With my enhanced senses, I could also tell that there were more people on the first floor and even outside the hospital building.

Just as expected, the news of Valerie being Mike’s mate had spread too quickly. And our fight must look like a joke now.

I sat there wondering how Valerie would react to the news. She didn’t have a wolf and feeling the mate bond was impossible.

So, she would probably be the last to find out about her being Mike’s mate.

But this was good too. Looking at how Mike had been treating her, she probably won’t want to be with him. Even though she always tries to hide it, I can tell that she is a very proud person and won’t do anything that would humiliate her.

Mike had also hurt her many times and adding this time, I don’t think I have to worry too much.

After four hours, the doctors performing the surgery walked out of the operation room with nurses pushing a bed with Valerie lying on it behind them.

She looked as white as a sheet, showing how much blood she had lost.

"How is Valerie?"

"How is she?"

Both Mike and I rushed to the doctors and asked eagerly.

After everything was exposed, there was no need to keep pretending anymore. Especially when it came to Mike.

However, he still had his reservations because Innocent was the person he had chosen as his Luna.

He couldn’t have them both, so his concern must be veiled.

I am different. I don’t have the shackles of a mate to hold me down.

"Her life is out of danger but she lost too much blood. We couldn’t do a blood transfusion because as you know, us wolves are different. If we take the blood of one werewolf, we will be affected by it. Even though Valerie hasn’t awakened a wolf, we can’t tell the future. So, she will have to replenish her blood through medicine and food." The doctor didn’t say more and just explained the situation according to the facts.
