In the Hospital. Trying to find another way to save the girl, the doctor left. Suddenly, the machines monitoring Royal's vital signs began to beep loudly, indicating a sudden drop in her heart rate. The doctors and nurses rushed to her side, trying desperately to revive her, and after a long time of trying and trying, she was breathing again but still unconscious. The doctor, frustrated by the turn out of events and unsure of what to do placed a call to the Alpha to inform him of her condition but he didn't pick up the call. After hours of trying to reach the Alpha with no response, he decided to call the Beta, hoping to get a response from him. "Beta Simon, I'm the doctor treating the halfling from the pack house. I have news on her," he paused hoping for the Beta to say something before he continued. The Beta's voice crackled through the phone, "Yes, Doctor. What news do you have?" "I'm afraid her condition has worsened, and we're doing everything we can to keep her stable,
In the hospital. The doctor took a deep breath and pushed all his doubts aside. He knew that he couldn't let his fear hold him back from doing what was right. He had taken an oath to serve and protect all those who needed his help, and he wasn't about to break it. With a steady hand, the doctor injected the antidote into the girl's arm and waited anxiously for any signs of improvement. In a short while, the girl's breathing became less labored, and color returned to her cheeks. The doctor let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the antidote was working. He went into his office and his phone rang a few minutes after. It was a strange number and the doctor knew it was the anonymous man from earlier. "Hello, Doctor. How is the girl?" the man asked. "She's doing much better now, thanks to the antidote you provided. I can't thank you enough for your help," the doctor replied. "I'm glad to hear that she's improving. But there's something else you need to know," the man said, his voice
Pack House, Royal's POV. It felt like years since I last opened my eyes, and when I did, my head throbbed with pain and my vision was blurry. I struggled to adjust my eyesight to the brightness of the room and then to focus, but everything seemed hazy and distorted. I felt like I was in a dream, but I knew this was all too real. "What happened?" I asked myself. As my vision cleared, I realized that I was lying in a bedroom and not in a hospital room, but hooked up to various machines and monitors. Panic set in as I tried to remember what had happened to me. The last thing I remembered was feeling sharp pain and fainting after someone came to save me from the rain. Suddenly, a nurse rushed into the room, a look of concern on her face. "Oh, you're awake!" she exclaimed, checking the machines and monitors. "How are you feeling now? Are you feeling any discomfort or pain?" she asked and I could not answer. I was not in full control of my body. "Do you know what happened to you?" She a
Royal's POV The Alpha stared at me and seemed to sense my unease, but he didn't make any move to leave. Instead, he stood up and walked over to my bed, his eyes never leaving mine. I felt like prey trapped under the gaze of a predator. "Royal the halfling, you seem scared?" He asked and I looked at him with squinted eyes before lowering my gaze. "Is it because of me or the girl who bullied you and kicked you out?" He asked indifferently like his words held little value. "What do you mean?" I asked back with a calm voice not wanting to make him feel challenged. "I'm perfectly fine. I am not scared of anyone. What happened to me was an accident while I was looking for something that fell outside. No one bullied me," I answered, hoping he would end this conversation and walk himself out of the room. "Royal, in case you are not aware, your presence in the pack house is under my command. And I brought you here for a special reason," he said with an increasing voice. "You have no rea
Royal's POV I wasn't sure if I was his target for this revenge or not, but I knew I had to convince him to not go through with it. I took a deep breath and forced myself to speak. "Alpha, I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with this. Revenge doesn't solve anything, and it's not a good way to handle things. There are other ways to solve the issue….." The Alpha's face contorted in anger. "You dare question my methods? I am the Alpha of this pack, halfling, and I decide what is best for us. Even if it means revenge on my enemies and those related to them. You of all people should know that!" He spat and I felt my body turn hot from the intensity of his voice. Mimi snickered from the corner, clearly enjoying my discomfort. I felt a surge of anger at her, but I quickly suppressed it. I couldn't afford to show my weakness in front of the Alpha. "I understand that Alpha, but revenge can have consequences. It can lead to more problems than it solves," I said, trying to reason with him, hop
Royal's POV But to my surprise, the Alpha slowly released his grip on the dagger and took a step back. "Very well," he said, his voice laced with disappointment. "I had hoped you would be more loyal to your pack, but I can see that I was mistaken. It is in your nature as a witch after all," he snickered. I took a deep breath and inquired, " Alpha, what is his offense?" I asked, staring at the man kneeling in front of us. The Alpha chuckled loudly, and I could only stare. "Do you really claim not to know him?" He asked again and I shook my head. "She never saw me Alpha. She was unconscious all through," the weak man said and I turned to him, looking confused. "Have we met before?" I asked him and he nodded. "Yes Halfling, I was the doctor who treated you after you were found." "Oh my….Doctor, what are you doing looking like this? What happened to you?" I asked as I rushed over to him, helping him to his feet and onto a chair. The hefty men who brought him in tried to stop me
Royal's POV "He wants to kill them? Right now? No, no, no. He can not kill them," I mumbled to myself as my heart raced when I realized I was running out of time. I had to act fast if I wanted to save them both. Without a second thought, I sprinted toward the sound the Alpha's voice came from, hoping to catch up with them before it was too late. As I ran to the hallways to go outside, I couldn't help but feel a sense of panic wash over me. What if I failed? What if I couldn't save them in time? The thought of the Doctor and Mimi being killed because of my inaction was too much to bear. When I finally caught up with the pack, the Alpha was already in the midst of giving the order to his pack to carry out their punishment. I knew I had to act fast. "Stop!" I yelled, my voice echoing through the clearing. "Alpha, please stop," I begged in a low tone. All eyes turned towards me, including the Alpha. I could see the anger in his eyes as he took a step toward me. "What are you doing he
Royal's POV He leaned in and as he began to kiss me again, I found myself losing all sense of uncertainty. His touch was electrifying, and every caress sent shivers down my spine. Unable to protest, I surrendered myself to him completely, lost in the moment. As we explored each other's bodies, I felt a connection with him that I couldn't explain. It was as if we were two halves of a whole, destined to be together. "Could he be my mate?” I asked myself but I shrugged it off. "He can't be, the Alpha was cursed to be mateless by a silver witch, he couldn't possibly be my mate…." I was still thinking of what to do when he carried me and led me to his room. He shut the door with a thud as he continued to kiss me. He threw me onto the bed and I stared at him in awe as he undressed. "W-wh-what are you doing Alpha?" I asked as I stared at his luscious skin and well-structured abs that looked tantalizing. He ignored my question, and after taking off his shirt, he loosened his belt, wa
