"How deep is the wound?" I heard Alpha Ryker’s voice.

"Very deep alpha... I don’t know how long it’s going to take before he gets paralyzed... I don’t know what is in the bullet that was fired at him but it’s worse than silver." Another man who seemed like a doctor replied.

My eyes were tightly shut and their conversation had woken me up. I didn’t dare move, scared that I would make him furious, he had more than enough on his plate presently.

"Is there no alternative? Is there a way that we can give him strength for the main time before you find a solution?" Ryker demanded, the urgency in his voice was enough to tell that this was a matter of life and death.

"I don’t know, Alpha... We can try sex, if his wolf gets pleased, it could help him heal slowly and if he gets a bloodhost and gets fed properly, that could help too but it needs to be fast..." The doctor replied and Ryker exhaled deeply.

"I doubt if the guards will be able to bring in any lady from the pack to this place as swiftly as possible... I don’t want to leave him alone." Ryker whispered and there was a brief pause.

"What about her? You could wake her up and..."

"She’s out of the picture, Thor would never agree to it." He replied and the doctor exhaled deeply.

"I’m sorry but these are the only alternatives available for now, I need to return to the lab to keep on trying to find anything I can... I’ll try my best to make sure it’s not late." He promised and he walked away when Ryker said nothing.

"Don’t get on my nerves, slave." Ryker snarled, aware that I was awake and slowly, I opened my eyes, slight fear written all over me.

He was dressed in a new pair of clothes and he paced around, ignoring me.

I fondled my fingers nervously. "Tha... Thank you for saving my life..." I muttered and he glanced at me without a word.

A lot was going through my head, I was the only female who could help the alpha at this point and although I had prayed for their death occasionally, they saved me and it was time to return the favor... They’d have survived if they hadn’t come to get me.

"I... I’ll do it." I announced and he burst into laughter, his thick voice sending shivers down my spine.

"You’re going to be dead long before he touches you." Ryker replied and I swallowed, nodding my head softly.

"I want to do this... You both saved my life, this is the little I can do to repay you." I retorted as I rose, only the goddess knew where I had garnered such courage from but I walked towards him.

I inhaled deeply. "I’m the only option here, the doctor doesn’t know what’s going to happen in the next one hour... You don’t want anyone to know about this place and you can’t leave... This leaves only me, I’m willing to do it, I know it’s a lot and I might end up dead but I’m fine with it, after all I’ve prayed for death for days." I continued and he frowned deeply.

"No..." He was about to leave when I grabbed his hand, shaking my head.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Why won’t you let me do this? I know the consequences and I’m fucking ready to bear them! Haven’t you killed hundreds of people? This is no different and I’m ready to accept my fate, do you want your brother dead or alive?" I retorted, panting heavily as I stared at him.

His eyes were filmed with rage and his hands clenched but he said nothing, he just glanced at me and after a few seconds, he walked away while I followed him.

We walked into what seemed to be an underground compartment, the house looked small on the outside but underground was a big mansion entirely.

"You’d better not survive this because I’m going to cut that fucking tongue of yours!" He snarled as he pushed the door open and I exhaled deeply.

Alpha Thor’s opened softly and he frowned. "She’s the only option available." Ryker whispered with a shrug and he shook his head, groaning softly as he sat up.

"No... I refuse." He retorted and I exhaled, both were the same, stubborn as hell.

"I’m sorry but I’m not going to watch you die, you saved my life and I’m going to return the favor." I replied and he snarled.

"With your life?" He demanded as he shut and opened his eyes tenderly and I swallowed, nodding softly.

"Ever since I came into your pack, death is the only prayer that has left my lips." I answered and he frowned.

"Take her out! I do not wish to lay my finger on this slave!" He thundered and I scoffed.

"You’ve drunk my blood already, why are you acting like it’s your first?" I taunted, my eyes fixated on him and he bared his fangs as his claws protruded.

"I’m going to kill you if you move an inch toward me." He vowed, he was dead serious and I swallowed.

I shrugged as I looked around, walking over to the little table as I grabbed a little knife. "I hope you make my death as clean and painless as possible." I replied with a little smirk as I gave myself a little cut.

He snarled, his eyes turning red while Alpha Ryker growled, breathing heavily and he forced himself out of the room while I walked toward Alpha Thor who was having a hard time controlling himself.

"I hate you so much but I don’t know why I’m willing to save you at the expense of my life." I whispered as I moved towards him, shutting my eyes as he grabbed me with his claws, his lips latched onto my neck as he fed on my blood hungrily.

I groaned as I bit down the pain, this was different, no pheromones were released and the pain gnawed at my bones.
