Thinking I was hurt, Tyrone immediately asked with concern, “Alpha, how serious is your injury? You’re an Alpha, and you can’t heal on your own? Do you need medication? Did you fight a witch or something?”

For the first time, I found Tyrone’s words a bit too much and annoying, but I still explained, “I’m fine. It’s an Omega who’s hurt. Just get it ready and send it over as soon as possible.”

After hanging up, I finally got out of the car.
