Going For The Solution
Adams’ POV
Nightfall soon came as I stood in my room, waiting for the doctor. I was dressed in an all-black outfit which stuck to my body. It was me and Ronan’s favorite, one which we liked to wear whenever we had a dangerous mission at hand.
Lilith had left angrily after our argument and I had not seen her since then. I tried searching for her but soon gave up. She was probably in one of the gardens where she always went.
Ronan stirred on the bed and soon opened his eyes. He sat up immediately staring at me. “Who are you?” He asked.
I didn’t say a word, rather, I kept staring at him. It made my heart bleed to see him this way. Memories of our childhood rushed through my head and I sighed.
Realizing I hadn’t replied to him, he rested his back on the wall, still sitting on the bed, watching me in silence.
The door creaked as it opened slowly. The doctor walked in, carrying a small bag. Hardly had he taken three steps when Ronan yelled at him.
“You! What did you give me to drink?”
He had stood up on his feet, his fists clenched behind him.
The doctor looked from me to him with a terrified look on his face. I signaled him to ignore Ronan and continue to come towards me.
Ronan was obviously annoyed by the doctor ignoring him. He moved forward, as if to hit him, but stopped as soon as he heard my voice. “Don’t be a fool Ronan, we are trying to help you.”
His eyes became dim as he looked at me. “And who are you to tell me what to do?”
I felt a pang in my heart, watching him. It felt awkward having him so close to me, yet he didn’t recognize me.
He stopped walking towards the doctor and faced me. His intentions were clear from the look on his face. We were strangers to him, and he wouldn’t hesitate to fight us if he had the chance to.
But I didn’t want to fight him.
“I’m your friend Ronan, your best friend. I know you don’t recognize me now, but I am going to get the cure for you, trust me.”
His gaze softened, and I took it as a chance to get closer to him. I stood up from where I sat and went closer to him. The next second, I had pulled him closer to myself, locking him in a tight embrace.
Tears dropped from my eyes as I sniffed, my head resting on his shoulders. He froze for a while, but I soon felt his hands behind my back.
“Stay here till I return, please.”
I detached myself from our embrace and collected the small bag from the doctor’s hand.
“Inside the bag are the things you will need. A jar to pack the mysterious dust, food to survive if things get a little bit messy, some medicines to use so that you will heal faster in case of injuries or bruises, a liquid in a green bottle that will give you strength and make you feel hot even in the cold. Mind you, it doesn’t last long, and a blanket.”
I smiled weirdly, as he mentioned the things in the bag. Food, medicines, a blanket? I’m an Alpha king for crying out loud, I didn’t need all those things.
I collected the bag afterward, not to seem as though I didn’t appreciate his efforts.
I walked out of the room, avoiding the guards and everyone around. I kept searching for Lilith from the corner of my eyes as I moved, but I couldn’t seem to find her.
After getting far from the mansion, I closed my eyes and summoned my beast. My bones began to twist and turn as creaking sounds came out of my body. He let out a loud growl as he finally came out, before running at full speed towards the mountain.
Then he stopped, something felt odd. He looked around but saw nothing except a lonely pathway. He listened but all he heard was the chirping of insects from a distance.
Since he didn’t see anything, he kept running, not stopping for once.
After running for over two hours non-stop, he had almost gotten to the border where the mountain was, and it was getting cold.
Surprisingly, there was no snow or ice as the mountain still lay ahead.
Suddenly, something flew past him. It moved so fast he didn’t see it. This stopped him in his tracks and he listened to find out if there was anything around, but all he heard was the howling of the wind.
I suddenly remembered the doctors’ words about rogues, and it made me wonder if they were responsible for what almost killed us.
The cold had begun to seep in, even in my best form. It seemed like there was a curse around the area, and it had gotten to us.
He suddenly couldn’t feel his limbs and fell down. Before I knew it, he was in, and I was out again.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
“What just happened to me?” I asked, confused.
I looked around for the bag the doctor gave me and found it lying on the floor, some distance away.
I rushed to it and opened it in haste.
I searched frantically for the bottle which held the liquid that would keep me warm. Immediately my hands found it, I poured its contents into my mouth and sat down on the floor.
The heat soon moved around my body and I felt alive again.
Then I stood up from the ground to continue my journey, but almost immediately, I felt a hard bang on my head and I fell into darkness.
On regaining my senses, I saw myself tied to a chair in the center of a little room.
I could not see the surrounding area clearly because my vision was blurry. Instead, I only heard ringing sounds in my ears. My sight soon cleared, and I looked around, trying to decipher where I was.
Suddenly, I heard his voice. It was so clear, I couldn’t miss it any day.
“Where did you think you were going to… brother?”
“Oh no,” I gasped as I looked up to see his face. “Raoul.”
