Venom’s POV
There was progress in the training and Maya only had a week and some days to get back, but she was getting worse in health.
Somehow, the same thing that haunted her a few days since when she got back has happened again and we’re all worried. The spiritual healer has stated with her throughout and even at that, it just seemed bad.
Maya was paralyzed in her room, the only people there was me and the healer. She could manage to utter a few words but she couldn’t move.
I moved closer to her and tried to touch and stroke her body. She would be powerless under these conditions and her pack would still be interested in getting her to fight as an omega.
Nothing infuriated me more, but causing war over a woman would be affecting too many lives and even cause greater damages.
“I’ll be leaving, I’ll be back tomorrow. If there’s any improvement, let me know.” The spiritual healer had packed up and was ready to leave.
Everyone had kept their hopes up and I initially thought that it would even be a minor issue readyto be solved.
“Alright, sir. Thank you for all you’ve done, we appreciate.” I shook hands with him and he left.
After what had happened that day, I wasn’t convinced I still wanted to spend more days sitting in the dark about her.
I thought about going out to find answers, maybe someone else who would explain what’s going on with her.
My first options was where she resided, her pack.
The next morning, I was dressed already. I went to the separate room where she stayed and spoke to her. Someone had gone before me and I was told she was still the same.
“How are you doing?” I sat beside her.
She grumbled some words which I couldn’t make out, it was saddening.
“I know you’re currently in plenty hurt and I just want you to know that I will be out to check for healings for you. I won’t come back until I find a solution for you.” I placed my palms on her head as I spoke to her.
She nodded in the positive which assured me she understood me.
I hugged her body for a bit and laid on her gently, she shifted a bit and I could sense her. Minutes later, I felt something wet dripping around my neck, she was crying.
I checked her face and she had a solemn expression. I held her tight and left.
“Are you sure this is going to work?” My mom was standing outside the door.
“I don’t know, I’m not sure. I’m just trying anything.” She grieved Maya too, if only Maya had understood that evening that everyone was in acceptance of her.
“May the gods be with you son,” she hugged me briefly and I left.
Maya’s pack wasn’t so far so I had taken a car which I drove to my destination. Every time I moved, the only thoughts in my head were the fears of losing her before coming back.
I was sure she would live, I had faith, but I was scared for her.
“She’ll survive.” I assured myself.
I kept driving and by noon, I had gotten to her pack. It was just linked by another one between us, we were almost neighbors if not for distance and land areas which were quite grand.
I was in an unfamiliar area that didn’t seem quite populated and I wasn’t sure of my first step anymore. I could either ask around for advises from people or go directly to their alpha, being one myself.
I sat in the car for a bit and planned my approach to things.
“I’ll just go to the alpha.” I told myself and I drove away.
Getting to the pack house, I clearly saw where the revenue from the hell’s pit was going and it was sure a splurge of wealth.
Getting to the gates, I had to Identify myself and they allowed me in quickly after a conversation with the alpha’s chief of security.
The place fascinated me but I was more worried about what I came to do.
“Good afternoon sir, it’s nice to have you hear.” The man shook hands with me when I entered and he met me.
“I came to see the alpha. I need to speak with him, is he in?” I question the security man who j had been les to.
“Most definitely, but you might have to wait in his courtyard for a bit. He wasn’t aware of any visitors today and he wouldn’t just want you going without meeting him.”
The man was quite friendly, I was impressed with how they treated me. I was quite intrigued at how they managed to treat a race of their people how they did, but they seemed nice.
I sat in the courtyard nervous and waiting for the man to meet me. I heavily hoped that I would leave with answers since they were all my bid for a solution.
Someone came, but it wasn’t him. It was a servant who had been ordered to come serve me. There was a meal of meat and juice.
I hesitated and didn’t devour it. Things turned out well for me and I didn’t have to wait and stare at the food too long before the Alpha appeared.
I stood up in respect and the man went for an hug instead of a handshake, “good day Alpha Maximum.”
“How’s everything with you, Alpha Venom.” He greeted.
I sat down and was a bit relieved.
“What can I do for you?” He asked.
“I came here on behalf of a someone from a race of your people, an omega.”
The man’s countenance immediately changed. I was sure he had been informed that I purchased one of his people.
“What can I do?”
“She’s ill and it’s not normal and I wanted answers to that. ”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
He held a strong frown and stood up to leave, but before then, he called for his guards against me.
