Darius‘ POV 

I sat at the reception waiting for Azalea to come back with the other doctor, Doctor Halle since the second doctor had suddenly disappeared. It was a crazy moment, carrying Daisy from the woods to the hospital. I still couldn’t believe I failed the girl I’d promised to protect. I couldn’t afford one more death in the hands of the Resistance. 

No more. 

Azalea appeared with Halle who apparently like twenty minutes ago was still in the pack’s prison. Azalea walked up to me as soon as he sighted me. 

“She’s here, alpha,” 

I turned to her. “There’s an emergency you need to attend to. The nurses are trying their best but a more professional hand is needed,” 

Halle went silent for a minute. 

“If I’m doing this, then I need something in return,” 

I took a deep breath. There was nothing more I hated than bargaining with a bloody criminal or a suspect. It usually puts me on the spot and makes me lose more than I’d thought. 

“What do you want?” 

“Promise you’ll give it. Give me your words,” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

I gritted my teeth “I won’t give you my words. I’m not stupid. Tell me what you want or don’t. All I know is I need that girl treated NOW,” 

“My freedom. If I treat this emergency perfectly well, I want to be free,” 

I frowned. 

“That’s a hard bargain, Doctor. Ask for something else,” 

She shrugged as if she was nonchalant about whatever was to happen. “I have nothing else to ask for, Alpha. My freedom or I remain standing here while the patient dies,” 

I squeezed my eyes shut as I tried to process my thoughts and what my answer would be. Azalea was trying to press through the mind–link to say something to me but instead, I blocked him out. I’d made a promise to my late wife to protect Daisy. I’m a man of my word, I never go back. 

“Fine! You get to walk back home a free woman after you leave here,” she grinned widely while Azalea couldn’t hide the surprise on her face. “But listen, one more wrong move from you or if I finally find out you are a member of the Resistance, I won’t bother throwing you into the prison, I’ll cut off your head myself,” 

The smile on her face was quickly replaced by fear and shock at my threat. 

“Understood?” I growled. 

“Yes, Alpha,” 

“Make sure she doesn’t die. If she does, you’re going back to the cell room. Best of luck,” 

She walked away from me and dashed into the emergency room with the door closed behind her. I took a seat back while Azalea stood, still staring at me. I knew he had something to say from the way he kept on staring. 

“Speak your mind, Azalea,” 

“Are you sure you’re making the right decision?” 

I looked back at him with an eyebrow raised. “am I supposed to leave her to die?” 

He shook his head. “No, Alpha but I’m sure the nurses are capable of treating her,” 

“It was a gunshot,” I reminded him. I don’t know how capable the nurses were but I needed all hands on deck to save the poor girl’s life. 

“Did you see the shooter?” 

My shoulders became tensed. “No. I was far away. Too far away from where she was to have seen the shooter. Have you heard back from the men who went to check out the cave?” 

I asked him. 

Right after I called out for help and they all came to the scene, I asked him to first send some men to check out the cave. Since I’d shifted earlier when I was in the cave and was naked, Azalea gave me a shirt and a trouser. 

“They got back to me a few minutes ago. They didn’t find anything there,” 

I frowned but I wasn’t shocked. “They went as far as I instructed,” 

“Even further than that, Alpha. They didn’t find anything,” 

“They’re so quick at cleaning up their evidence. Tell the warriors to go back in the morning to look for the tiniest evidence they could find. No crime spot can be thoroughly clean without any traces left behind,” 

“Yes, Alpha,” 

I took a deep breath. The book I’d picked up from the cave was safely tucked away behind my shirt. I couldn’t wait to get home and go through the book. 

I guess a lot of blood would soon be shed. 

A few hours later, Halle walked out of the room. The surgery had been successful. 

“I managed to remove the silver bullet from her wolf and she shifted back into her human form. She’s currently resting and should be better in a day or two. Hopefully, her wolf would help her heal better,” 

I nodded repeatedly. “thank you. You’re free to go,” 

She smiled genuinely. “Thanks Alpha. Although I’d love to go home, I can’t do that yet. I have to check up on some patients and also monitor her,” 

She might be a criminal but she was diligent with her job and pretty smart at what she does. 

“Remember my words, Dr Halle. Watch your back,” 

She smiled again. “Since I didn’t do anything wrong, I’m not scared of anything, Alpha. I’m only scared of dying

wrongfully,” 

A part of me wanted to trust her but the other part of me which had experienced betrayal even from the closest of men decided it was stupid to believe her and that part was what I decided to do. 

I walked into the room where Daisy was to check up on her. She was sleeping soundly with the machine beeping being the only noise that could be heard in the room. 

The poor girl didn’t deserve to be in such pain. 

I walked out of her room and sat in the reception for hours. It wasn’t until I looked out that I saw it was dawn already. I’d stayed awake for hours without blinking. I checked in on Daisy to see she was still unconscious and decided it was time to go home to check on my girls. 

The warrior guarding my house bowed as soon as he saw me and helped me unlock the door. I was exhausted and I needed some rest. I first went into my office and locked the book in my safe before heading to Angela’s room. 

“Hey baby,” 

I murmured as I snuggled into her. 

“Where you’ve been?” She replied grudgingly. 

“Long story but to cut it short, I went on a run and then Daisy got shot and I’d been at the hospital. She’s stable now though,” 

“Okay,” she replied. I knew a tough question was coming. “What were you doing with Daisy? Did you go on a run with her?” 

“No, she followed me into the woods,” 

“Hmmm,” she murmured. 

“What?” 

“You left before I came out of the bathroom. I thought you were mad at me but I guess you were just spending the night with another woman,” 

“I just told you I was at the hospital,” 

“Same thing,” 

She said with a playful smile. I didn’t know when I laughed. 

“Get some sleep, Darius. You need it,” 

“I’m sorry I ran out. I needed to calm my wolf,” 

“If you’re sorry, let me attend the funeral,” 

I became silent for a while. She wasn’t going to let the matter go so I finally succumbed. “Okay, my Angel. You can do as you want,” 

She k*ssed my hair. “Thank you, Papi,” 

“I love the sound of that,” I whispered. 

As I snuggled into her arms and relaxed, I made up my mind to go with her. If I told her I would go with her, she

might have protested. Besides, I realized taking a break for a few days from the pack wouldn’t be a bad idea. 

At least, let that be the calm before the storm.
