    “You can’t leave the room”. Lyra ordered. “I just want a breath of fresh air” I groaned exasperatedly,


    almost tempted to tug at my hair in frustration at Lyra’s protective tone.


    We had been arguing for minutes now. I was tired of being cooped up in my room. I just wanted to


    stretch my legs around but she was having none of it.


    “There’s fresh air here too Freda”, she said in a serious tone and crossed her arms as she stared


    pointedly at me.


    “Ugh, Lyra. Just let me go” I raised my hands in frustration. I had a feeling I could go crazy if I


    stayed a minute longer in the room.


    I nced at the couch and sighed in relief when I saw Cisco was fast asleep. I didn’t want him to


    have to witness his mum losing her wits.


    I was used to always working. It killed the bananas out of me that I had to stay confined to my bed.


    It wasforting to have my meals being fed to me at first but right now I was tired of it.


    I just wanted to see something outside these four cornered white walls. Not that there was anything


    much to see in the hospital hallway but I was willing to take it if it meant not being here.


    Dane, who was still in the room, must have seen the frustration on my face because he spoke up


    almost immediately. “I would

    escort her. I’m heading out anyway”. He offered and Lyra loosened her folded arms.


    “Really?”, she asked in surprise and he nodded. “Okay then, but don’t let her out of your sight” she


    warned fiercely and I almostughed if only my lungs weren’t still a bit sore. Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    I was still connected to a drip but it was a mobile stand, so I could wheel it anywhere. I carefully


    wheeled the stand out of the room after passing Lyra a yful re and she groaned.


    She was probably regretting her decision of letting me leave but I was leaving anyway. Dane walked


    closely beside me as he studied me with a foreign expression on his face.


    “What do you want to say?” I asked when I couldn’t bear him staring at me any longer. A stretcher


    was being wheeled in the hallway and Dane gently guided me to the side to avoid being hurt. I


    noticed the person on it was dead and I sighed. That could be my fate too.


    When it had passed, he turned to me. “Are you sure it’s okay to be moving around like this? Your


    condition is pretty delicate”. He said slowly and I sighed.


    “I know” I revealed and he looked at me quizzically. “What do you mean by ‘you know’ ?” he asked


    in suspicion and I sighed. “I know how bad my condition is. I know I have wolfsbane in my blood”. I


    revealed and he stilled visibly.


    We were already some distance away from my ward so I stopped walking.


    I’m surprised you are aware,” he said after a moment of silence. “Hmm, I know the effects too. I


    know there’s a chance I

    might not survive this. I can feel my body system trying to fight off the wolfsbane”.


    The hands holding the standing grip tightened and I sucked in a deep breath topose myself.


    still hadn’t reallye to terms with the fact that I could die from this. Everytime I thought about it


    was just as shocking as thest.


    I was putting up a bold front so as not to worry anyone but I wasn’t sure how long I couldst while


    pretending I was okay with the possibility of dying.


    A wave of dizziness washed over me and I held the stand tighter. I closed my eyes as I waited for it


    to pass. After it was over, I opened my eyes slowly and saw Dane looking at me with an expression


    of concern? Pity? I wasn’t sure.


    Dane seemed conflicted, he was probably lost for words on how tofort me. I didn’t want anyone


    to feel unnecessarily burdened.


    “Where’s Kaiden?” I swiftly changed the topic and it worked because Dane immediately snapped


    back to attention.


    He had left the ward a while ago and still hadn’t returned. Another reason I had decided to go out of


    my room was also because I hoped to run into him in the hospital hallway.


    “He’s probably in Harper’s ward”. He replied drawing me out of my thoughts and I knitted my brows


    in confusion.


    Harper’s ward? Was she sick? “What happened to Harper?” I asked worriedly.


    Dane scratched his head ufortably. “I think it’s best if you

    hear it from the Alpha himself” he said and I frowned. I didn’t


    like what I was hearing.


    “Lead me there” I said at once.
