Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 100 Pray for Erika

CA SSANDRA

When I got to work that day, Becky was already hard at work. She was surrounded by a stack of books, along with a long line of vials and bottles. Her eyes were so focused on her work that she hadn’t even noticed my arrival.

“Becky?” I prompted her when she didn’t say anything. “Becky, is everything alright?”

My assistant finally looked up at the sound of her name, and her dark eyes grew wide.

“Sorry, Ca ssy,” she said. “I didn’t even hear you.”

“It’s okay,” I assured her, and I approached her desk. “What’s going on?”

“I found something strange about the venoms,” she explained, and she gestured at a few of the vials. “The ones that we couldn’t identify? I’ve been running tests all morning. Even though they’re all very different, their chemical structures are similar. If my hypothesis is correct, it seems like they were all produced. according to the chemical structures of Udosyn.”

“Does that mean that the other kinds of poisons were recreated using the base of Udosyn?” I wondered.

Becky nodded. “It seems like it.”

I stood there for a moment and considered what this meant. Did this mean that we could find the cure to the poisons if we studied further in this direction and recreated the cure to Udosyn?

The moment the thought crossed my mind, I asked Becky, and she gave a thoughtful nod.

“That’s theoretically possible,” she agreed.

It took a second for the idea to set in, and once it did, my assistant and I exchanged excited smiles. This was the first win we’d had in a while. I didn’t want to get too thrilled, but I couldn’t help it.

“Compared to Udosyn, these other poisons don’t have such a rigorous structure,” Becky continued as she smiled. “So what you’re thinking might actually be possible! We can study further and see if we can recreate the cures.”
