LOGINKaiAt a time like this, I can only wish to have enough knowledge in medicine to confirm the resident’s words. She seems sincere. Her actions seem logical, yet I do not feel satisfied. This has to be dangerous. “You have to reduce the heat. There’s no way she can survive in this room.”Anna stretches a document to me. It’s Valerie’s chart. Her temperature has dropped to as low as fifteen degree celsius. That’s extremely cold. If we have to get her back to the regular value. That said, Alpha Kai. We can't waste any more time.”With that, she stands and gestures to the nurses to wheel Valeriee in. They comply, taking her into the room and running out as quickly as they can.“If she dies, it won’t be from this procedure. You have nothing to worry about, alpha. I’ll die before I let anything happen to the Luna.”The Luna?I grab her arm, yanking her away from the nurses. “What the hell are you talking about?”She dips her head, a sad smile forming on her face. “I know doctor Manchester
Sebastian.I never thought a day would come when I would need Theron's help. Corvin is right. I really shouldn’t be proud when the doctor is literally on the verge of death. If anything happens to her, I will be left with too much regret.I turn back to theron. He’s in the distance, staring at me with a triumphant glint in his eyes. Ignoring the rage I feel, I throw a glance at Corvin and instruct. “Set up a meeting. Tell Theron to meet me in the Pack hall.”Corvin nods, relief flooding his expression. He dashes towards Thereon to deliver the message, only to return seconds later with a sullen face.“The Beta said he’ll pick the location for the meeting."“What!”“I was told to tell you that, Alpha. I’ll take my leave now.”With that, he scrambles off. I turn back to Theron but he’s nowhere to be found.The fucker. What the hell does he think he is doing? How dare he order me around?‘I suggest you don’t fight it, Alpha,’ I hear Theron's voice in my head. ‘You need me, not the other
Sebastian.At my words,a smirk lines theron’s face. He stares at me, a mischievous glint appearing in his eyes.That explains everything. He found out about the poison so quickly. No one in the hospital would be brave enough to break the news to him so quickly. He’s the culprit.“You should watch your conduct, Alpha Sebastian. We're in public. Do you want everyone to think we have bad blood between us?”I don’t care what anyone thinks. “Answerr the fucking question,” I bellow. “Are you behind what happened to Valerie?”“You should address her accordingly,” he drawls. “If people hear you calling the doctor so intimately, they will misunderstand the dynamics between you two.”I slam him against a wall, feeling my anger rise inside. My wolf churns restlessly, eager to burst out. “Don’t change the topic. Give me the answer I am looking for. Did you poison the doctor?”“Will you believe me if I say I didn't?”No. The answer is very simple. Theron has always been a scheming scumbag. He ra
Sebastian.I let them air their grievances, staying quiet till they have all ranted to their fill. When a long time passes without them showing signs of backing down, I decide to take matters into my own hands.“Gentlemen, listen to me,” I beckon. “You all have been misinformed. Bloodcrest has no hand in what happened to Doctor Manchester.”They stare at me like I have gone crazy. But their silence only lasts a second. Before I know what’s happening, they are on my neck again, bickering like angry birds.“Who do we blame for his sickness if not you, alpha sebastian?”“So many people offered to host her, but you refused. Did you do that so you can get her killed?”“If the doctor dies, be ready to suffer our wrath.”“We know you have always looked down on us. Your pack is big and ours are small, soon you don’t feel the need to be accountable for your actions.”“Your beta said there;s a high chance the doctor was targeted by someone who intends to spite you. What do you have to say to th
SebastianCrvin is right. It’s no hidden knowledge that Theron is the most connected person in the pack, and probably in the region. He has acquaintances in all fields, but that shouldn’t be a reason for me to approach him for help.But I'm left with no othe choice.I just can’t imagine it. Theh4ron and I have always been at loggerheads. We may not address it, but it changes nothing. The man wants to be the head of the pack. If his ancestors didn’t pass the beta lineage down to him, I would have had him stripped a lopng time ago. And now, I'm supposed to approach a man like Theron for help. He wouldn’t be so gracious to help. That fucker always has ulterior motives.“Alpha.” Corvin's voice snaps me back to the present. I let out a groan, running my hand over my face. “What do you say? I can bring it up to him?”“No.”“We don’t have a choice, Alpha sebastian,” the doctor urges. “If miss manchester dies, we would not only lose our hope of getting the cure, we will also lose the counci
SebastianThe worst is happening, and I’m watching it unfold before my eyes without being able to do anything to stop it. What happened to the doctor all of a sudden? It was nothing but a slight concussion, something that should have healed within minutes. How did I spiral into a condition that requires major surgery?And Alpha Kai is throwing his weight around to delay the surgery. If Valerie dies, the aftermath would be hard to contain. She sis seen as a saviour in the region. The alphas will never give it a rest since she died in my pack. I have to do all I can to make sure that she survives. Getting that surgery is the first step.“Do you have doubts about my doctors?” I ask Alpha Kai. “They are the best. They may not be as good as yours, but they are better than the doctors in the other packs. What exactly is your problem, Alpha Kai?”He looks restless, and it’s even more baffling. If he’s so concerned about Valerie, shouldn’t he be making sure she survives? Why is he delaying th
Valerie“We managed to stabilize your son, but I'm afraid that’s all we can do for now, Miss Manchester,” the doctor in charge of Lucien says outside the ICU a while later. I am a lot calmer, but I still feel dread course through my veins. I can’t get over what happened to Lucien. The amount of blo
FIVE YEARS LATERValerieFive years ago, I ran through the woods bleeding, hunted like prey. Today, three alphas are outside my door, waiting for a consultation with me, the most renowned doctor in the land. I lean back in my seat, tapping the desk absently as Mireya hums across from me. She has a
Valerie I don’t get to eat the sumptuous meal the cooks may have prepared for me. I didn’t realise how tired I was until I woke up hours later. I had drifted off to sleep almost immediately Kai left me in his room. When my eyes open again, it’s at the break of dawn. I sit up, a smile lining my face
Kai A fiery furnace. That’s the perfect phrase to describe her. No human has ever spoken to me in that manner within seconds of meeting, yet she did. I sensed her fear and uncertainty. What I never expected is that she’d water them down and hold her head high to challenge me. “Alpha Kai,” Seraph
