Bryant's POVMy whole body felt like it had been run through a grinder. I felt sore all over and the pain only got worse the more I tried to get my limbs to move.My head was also throbbing as it felt like a mini concert was going on in there. The last time I felt like this was when I battled that dimwit Marco for Gia.Gia.Alarm bells rang in my head as I remembered the last I saw of her. It quietened down though as I also recollected that Alpha Enzo was with her. He would ensure that nothing befell her.Slowly, my senses returned to me. First, my ears as I began to hear the hubbub going in around me.From what I heard, I was surrounded by Alpha Enzo's warriors and all of them seemed to be chatting and laughing carefreely as they recounted one battle experience or the other. The solemn and grave atmosphere that had come with the battle dispersing like it had never been there in the first place. Then my sense of smell returned.The first thing that hit me was the sweet scent that I ha
Enzo's POVAfter I was done dealing with that rogue who had hoped to attack Gia, I looked back at her to check if she was safe and then sighed in relief when I saw that she was still where I left her.She was staring intensely at the battle between Bryant and that wolf though so I curiously looked over my shoulder only for my eyes to widen when I noticed that the rogue had been transformed into something more dastardly and hideous.Wasn't this the effect of the drug that was running around the black market? If I remember correctly, an Alpha told me he would give them to me or something. I couldn't quite recall.Studying the wolf that had bested Bryant and was now heading towards Gia with a perverse gleam in its eyes, an obvious mistake as I was still here, I noticed that although the effects looked the same, the rogue's version looked more refined and exquisite. Still wouldn't prompt me into trying it though as cheats to gain power always came at a great cost. A cost I would never wan
Gianna's POV“The drug had impaired all his shifting abilities. It's kind of like instead of giving him a short bursts of strength, he is facing the after effects which is, draining the infected of all their powers.”The more the healer talked, the louder the ringing in my ear was.What was he saying?“Does that mean that he won't be able to heal? Then what will happen to him?” My voice trembled as tears welled up in my eyes.My breath had begun to come in short bursts and I felt like I could collapse at any moment. I felt so fragile and vulnerable at that point. I stared at him, my gaze obviously making him uncomfortable but I wasn't going to let up. I refused to believe that something so terrible had happened to Bryant without a way out.Enzo said he would be fine. He said that Bryant was strong and that he always bounced back.“Well, I never said that the effects were permanent. Just like the drug, it'll eventually wear off and once it does, Alpha Bryant will begin to heal at his n
Gianna's POVI watched everything unfold right before my eyes yet again. From when Bryant fought till he was covered in wounds and barely able to remain on his feet to when he ripped off Silas’s arm.Honestly, the normal reaction in seeing such a scene should have been disgust but I was just filled with relief that he was fine. I didn't give a flying fuck about Silas. Which was why I didn't even flinch when Raya carried him and ran for the woods.My gaze was only focused on Bryant as he took a step forward and then fell sideways with a thump It was just like the whole Marco thing again except this time, I felt like my heart had been thrown out of my body.The difference of what I felt then and now was very huge. Turns out that all it took was falling for someone to feel like you were being torn into pieces when something happened to them.Terror. Fear. Panic.I went through all stages of negative emotions as I watched his eyes close.My feet carried me to him at a speed that I was su
Bryant's POVI looked back at Gia, relieved when I spotted that she was safe and still standing where I had left her. All through this horrendous battle, I had gone through quite a lot of emotions. Fear, horror, panic but nothing could come close to the worry that was clawing at the back of my mind. The worry that I would turn and then I would see Gia lying there in a pool of her own blood.Worry that I would turn and then she wouldn't be fine. This emotion made me a bit disoriented therefore allowing this mangy mutt to get one on me.Honestly I was horrified when I saw Silas’s transformation. It took a while but I realized that he had taken a forbidden pill. One I had heard was trying to circulate the black market but was failing woefully.Why? It was simply because although the drug was quite effective, it didn't last very long and it made one way too rabid to make sound judgements. Only filled one with bloodlust and the IQ of an actual dog.Not a good tool when it came to war for f
Gianna's POV Everything unfolded before like it was all in slow motion and all throughout, my heart was caught in my throat as my chest grew tight with more fear than I had ever felt in my entire life.Since I was but a few feet away from Bryant, I was able to get a front row seat to his fight with that rogue, Silas and it was safe to say that it wasn't a pleasant experience at all.Silas had lunged at Bryant with all his force after the first attack, hoping to throw him off balance or at least make him stumble a bit but thankfully Bryant held his ground. They then both rolled onto the floor tangled in a messy web of limbs.Blood. Claws marks. Bite marks began to appear on both their bodies.Seeing that Bryant still had the upper hand, I didn't know if I should be happy that he had less injuries than Silas.Other than immense fear, I honestly didn't know what to feel at all. I also felt a huge sense of helplessness at only being able to watch without helping at all.They kept nipping
