"The drug is still in the testing phase. So, if any side effects occur, I don't take responsibility," Santiago said.Suddenly, that remark drew Judith and Drake's attention."What did you say?" Judith made sure she had heard.Santiago chuckled with the tube of immortal water in his hand. The man leaned back against the couch and said, "Over and over again. I must say that the antidote is very expensive. And this is one of the reasons why. I used ingredients that were difficult to obtain and cost much money to test. But... so far, that antidote in your hand is the closest to perfect. Although I can't say it will one hundred per cent work as expected."There was no guilt at all in every word Santiago spoke. The man still could smile broadly after leaving Judith and Drake without words."Your trashy mouth is full of shit!" scolded Drake.Santiago rolled his eyes at the man. Calmly, he retorted, "Didn't I not want to give it to you in the first place? Then why are you blaming me for the r

An uproar of panic instantly erupted in the observation room. Ryn, who lost her pulse, and Albert, who suddenly fell unconscious."They are mates. They're connected," Mike said through the panic. "Betty! Bring another gurney!" ordered Mike."Yes, Doctor," replied the nurse named Betty. The woman in the white uniform immediately ran out of the room to carry out the order.Mike turned to the assistant beside him."Jack! I entrust Alpha Albert to you. Don't let him die!" said the doctor."Okay." The man named Jack nodded his head and ran over to Albert, who was on Judith's lap."I caught him. His head didn't hit the floor," Judith told him."I understand, ma'am," Jack replied while checking Albert's pulse. "Shit!" cursed Jack in a stifled voice as he barely detected Albert's pulse. "Put his head on the floor, ma'am!" he ordered Judith.Judith obeyed and immediately placed Albert's head on the floor carefully. She shifted slightly as Jack took position beside Albert's body with his palms

"True love's kiss." One corner of Mike's lips lifted, along with one eyebrow. "Good luck, Alpha Albert!" he said as he patted Albert's shoulder twice, before walking away.Albert was stunned. He did not respond to the doctor's words and gesture. The Alpha's eyes were fixed on the girl lying pale-faced before him. Inwardly Albert whispered, "Will the kiss work?""No! It's ridiculous! It's just a fairy tale, it won't work in reality." Albert monologued while shaking his head softly and smiling wryly.Instead of doing what Mike said, Albert chose to hold Ryn's hand with no intention of letting go. And speaking of kisses, Albert was reminded of his dream. The fear trembelled his heart. Then he thought, if he did what Mike said, would it make him lose Ryn forever? Was this what the prophecy meant? He would die if Ryn died. Is that how the Bloodwolf mate bond worked?"Sir, what are you doing?" joked a nurse who had just entered the room when she saw Albert leaving his gurney.The Alpha half

"What the hell is going on here?"A voice interrupted the severe conversation between Albert and Ryn. They turned their heads, passing their eyes in the direction from which the sound came. Mike was walking hurriedly towards them."Oh my Gosh! Miss Ryn!" exclaimed Mike. The man swung his legs faster with a strained look on his face. "Why didn't you call me if Miss Ryn was awake? Move! Give me some space!" Mike said in a slightly high tone, asking Albert to step aside so he could check on the girl's condition."Your bullshit worked," Albert said, unconcerned by Mike, who looked slightly annoyed at him."What?" The Alpha's words made Mike, who had a stethoscope in his ear, turn to him. "What did you say?" he repeated."I kissed her, and it worked. She woke up," Albert said.Mike's hands hung in the air. Albert's words stunned him, but a moment later, the man laughed."Your jokes aren't hilarious, Alpha Albert! I'm glad Miss Ryn is final

Although they had expected it from the beginning, Judith's answer still surprised Albert and Ryn. It was a little hard to believe, but they had actually experienced it. The dream and the reality were intertwined."That's impossible," Ryn muttered."But you said it. From what you said, that place hasn't changed since the last time I came there. It probably won't even change," Judith said with one eyebrow raised."Are you sure?" Albert was still wondering.Judith turned to the man with a faint smile."Do we need to sketch it to be sure? I know a good sketch artist," she said. "Listen! My visit to that place was a long time ago, but I still remember it very clearly. Tell me that you can see the fish dancing at the bottom of the waterfall estuary. It's very pretty. The water is very clear and cold. You can even see your reflection very clearly on the water's surface," he continued.How did Judith know about that detail?That question had crossed Albert's mind. But when he remembered who s
