Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 681

Chapter 681: Wipe the stains

Karmen tore through the line of attackers, creating a opening for Aisha. She didn’t hesitate; remembering her promise, she bolted through the gap. The sounds of snarling and clashing echoed behind her, fueling her fear, but she kept her eyes fixed on the distant glow of the restaurant.

She burst through the front doors, her lungs burning and her clothes disheveled. Gasping for air, she gripped the edge of the mahogany reception counter until her knuckles turned white.

"Help! Wolves... They’ve attacked my boyfriend!" she pleaded as her voice almost broke. "Please, you have to help us!"

The receptionist’s eyes widened, but she remained professional, quickly summoning the manager. The moment the manager realized the victim was Karmen, Gabriel’s trusted Beta, he didn’t waste a second. He dispatched a specialized security team, well-equipped to handle shifter conflicts.

By the time the reinforcements reached the forest clearing, the scene was one of absolute carnage. Karmen stood in the center of a circle of downed attackers, his breath coming in ragged heaves. He shifted back into his human form, his skin glistening with sweat and the blood.

A gash on his forehead dripped blood over his eye, momentarily blinding him. Just as he wiped it away, he heard the frantic rustle of leaves behind him. A mangled, injured wolf made one last lunge at his back.

Karmen didn’t even turn fully. With the precision of a seasoned Beta, his hand shot out, grabbing the wolf by the throat. And the next second, he snapped its neck. The beast let out a final whimper before collapsing into the snow.

"Where’s Aisha?" Karmen rasped, his eyes cold as he recognized the restaurant security team.

"She’s safe in the lobby, Sir," one of the guards replied, rushing forward to throw a coat over Karmen’s shoulders and offer him support.

Karmen ignored the stinging pain in his side and the blood obscuring his vision, his only focus being the glass doors of the restaurant. He burst into the lobby just as the local authorities began to arrive outside, their sirens wailing in the distance.

Aisha, who had been pacing in the lobby, froze at the sight of him. Seeing him drenched in blood, she let out a choked sob and ran to him. Her hands hovered over his chest and arms, afraid to touch him and cause more pain.

"What have you done to yourself?" she whispered, her eyes brimming with tears that soon spilled over.

"I’m fine, Aisha. You’re safe," Karmen rasped, his voice rough but filled with relief. He tried to stand tall, but a slight stumble betrayed how much the fight had taken out of him.

"We have called the doctor," the manager interrupted, stepping forward with a steadying hand. "He’s only minutes away. Let’s get Karmen treated first. We have a private lounge in the back where you won’t be disturbed."

Aisha nodded quickly, wiping the salt and cold from her cheeks with the back of her hand. She tucked herself under Karmen’s arm, providing him the support he needed as they moved toward the back of the restaurant. Even as her heart hammered with the trauma of the night, she felt a surge of fierce protectiveness. She wouldn’t leave his side again.

Shortly, the doctor arrived and treated the wounds on Karmen’s body while Aisha counted them mentally. Once finished, the doctor gave him a small packet of pills to reduce the pain and assured him nothing major happened.

"These will manage the pain and the inflammation," he explained, snapping his medical bag shut. "Nothing reached the bone or vital organs, but you’ve lost a fair amount of blood. Given your strength, you won’t feel any problem. Still, get yourself checked at the hospital tomorrow for a full scan."

"Sure. Thank you, doctor," Karmen said. He offered a weary smile, but his eyes quickly shifted to Aisha. She looked at Aisha, who looked pale and shaken.
