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,”

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.
