I Claim Your Love

Chapter 17: A Chance Meeting

When Garrick opened his eyes the first thing he saw were the animal toys carved out of pure Mahogany woods hanging from the roof sparsely and dancing along the wind. He looked sideways and was surprised to see an open window which threw light all over the room. His body ached all over and betrayed him when he tried to sit up. His treacherous mind was making his movements numb. With much courage and determination he gathered his strength and landed his feet on the ground. Soon his veins throbbed with a dull pain and he moaned.

"You need to rest."

Garrick's pain was subdued when a beautiful girl sat besides him with a bowl in her hands.

"The effects of the medication will go away soon and you would be able to walk in no time."

All Garrick could do was to stare at the girl trying to understand the situation and what she was saying. He remembered that he was in a market; he felt sick and his wolf wanted out. Then nothing.

Thinking about his wolf he realized that he could not feel the animal within him.

He ran his hands through his chest and squeezed his eyes. "I cant feel anything. I cant feel my wolf!" He whispered in horror.

The lady kept the bowl on a nearby table "Your wolf is weak. For now." Garrick raised his brows but sighed with relief that his wolf was still alive. "Don't worry. By evening everything will be back to normal; but till then you need to rest."

"Thank god you are awake mutt. I thought we have to arrange a funeral for you." Callan shoved Archer for his hurtful comment.

"How are you feeling?" Callan asked worriedly.

Garrick avoided Callan and looked sideways "Better. Lets do our job and leave this place as soon as possible."

Fayette did not liked the tone in which Garrick was talking to Callan but she kept it to herself. She sighed and stood up to face him. "You wont be able to walk for a few more hours. You have to take rest."

Garrick scrunched his nose but reluctantly agreed knowing that there was no way out of this misery. "If you say so; but the moment I am able to stand we leave this place at once." he pointed to Callan.

With that Garrick closed his eyes and let sleep takeover.

Callan was seemingly worried for his companion as he thought it was his responsibility to keep him safe. Callan was aware of how the human world works but he never had the time to explain any of it to Garrick. And how could he? Garrick always kept to himself and was distant whenever Callan approached him.

Callan decided to reach the mountains without Garrick as the latter was of no help while the medication would take time to wear off. He along with Archer left the human village and marched to their next destination.

After long tiring hours of tedious journey Callan reached the chief of bears and respectfully invited them over to the pack for the coronation ceremony.

On their way back, both men halted near the foot of the mountain and relaxed under the shadow of a huge tree. They decided to take a quick nap before heading for Fayette's place.

or so, Callan woke up hearing sound of some rustling of bushes which were later followed by loud growls. He tilted his head left and saw that Archer was still in his dreamland with his mouth open and loud snoring. Against his better judgement
