Chapter 103

Was the pack grounds always so damn big? To the point that I can’t find one person ‘that’s because the person you want to find is our mate, which is why it feels big to you right now but I heard her talk about going to the diner with her friends, maybe that’s where she is’

‘So you watched me walk around looking for her all this time, already knowing where she was and not say anything? Hunter are you the enemy within or something?’ he snickers but says nothing ‘also remember what our dad said about asking her about how to help those two’ ‘right, there’s also that’

‘Okay, well I’d wait until she gets back, we already overstepped by going to her room last night, let’s not make it worse by showing up at the diner too. I instead make my way to the hospital to check in and see if there were any improvements or discoveries, ah shoot, I need to go and get the specimen first and return it to Franny.

Got to make a U-turn and go back to my room to get it, then to the hospital ‘Harry who’s on guard duty at the castle gate?, nevermind answering, could you just tell them to let me know when Roho returns to the castle’ ‘will do Alpha’

I finally get to the VIP wing and Dr. Good is already there and conversing with Astrid and Cory, when Cory spots me he leaves the two ladies and come over to me, he seems to be upset “how could you keep something like this from me Ty, I thought we were friends, best friends”

“What are you talking about Cory?” “the thing Emma spat up was her heart, which is why Alessa is unconscious, why won’t you let the doctors put them back, to save them, are you jealous? Is that it? You’re jealous I found my mate before you and you want mine to die because you don’t have one?”

I punch him square in the face, causing him to tumble back to where Franny and Astrid are, Astrid doesn’t move but Franny bends to assess his face “how could you punch Beta Cory like that King Tyler?” “I told you, the King must have his reason why he doesn’t want to do it Cory, and why would you say something so hurtful to your best friend as you just called him?” Astrid asks.

Cory pulls out of Franny’s reach and begins walking towards me and I feel Hunter push forward “I’d be very, very careful with my next move if I were you Beta, I wouldn’t want to kill you before you get a chance to mark your mate, friend or not never you ever disrespect me like that again, do I make myself clear?!” I walk closer to him and lean down to him “Beta, am I clear?”

“Yes, my King you’re words are clear” “good, now as for you Dr. Good, seeing as you enjoying playing in the mud, I’d let you walk all the way through, tell them the reason why I told you not to put these things back, tell them what they really are! And after that you are suspended from duty for going behind your Kings back and defying my direct order”

“Bu-bu-but my King I simply wanted to help them! As a doctor!” “if you were truly thinking as a doctor you would have never told them about it, especially when we don’t know what it is! Now I command you to tell them the whole truth!”

I always avoid Alpha commanding my people but Franny has crossed the line this time and I can not let it slide “the truth is we don’t know yet what this thing is, all I know is that it mimics cells and models itself to it and once it’s finished doing that it takes over the cell it mimics, so in short it has eaten three quarts of their heart and there is a strong chance that if we put it back it will finish the entire thing and we don’t know what would happen after it does and also, the organism is what prevented their communication with their wolves and solidifying your mate bonds but at least, they’d be conscious which is the most important thing is it not?”

“No Franny, it’s not! You came here and sold us this bullshit and gave us the impression that you had the solution and Tyler is the only thing preventing you from carrying it out when all these variables are unknown, what the hell is wrong with you?” 

“I’m sorry Beta Cory, I only wanted to help” “give me the keys to your lab Dr. Good” “Alpha please” “NOW!” she reaches into her pocket and presents them to me, “how long is my suspension?” ‘my King the she wolf Roho is back, what shall I do?’ ‘escort her to the hospital, up to the medical wing right away’
