Chapter 90
The room was once again silent.
"But why tell me this?" I asked, my voice small, shaky. "If he's this dangerous, why betray him?"
Ryan lowered his shirt, stepping back, and for a moment, he seemed lost. "Because I can't be a part of it anymore," he said quietly. "I can't watch him destroy everything. He's willing to sacrifice our entire way of life, tear apart the packs, just to secure his place at the top."
"This is all so confusing." I exclaimed and paced around the room.
I looked at Ryan, his expression unreadable as if he was closing up to me. He no longer desired to be known or seen by me, and this was not a good sign.
I wanted him to be true to me, because if there was even a one percent chance that he was playing me, I would back down.
"So there is Alpha Rambo who wants to kill me because white wolf has the power to unify all the packs and that endangers his position and his pack's position. And for that he is taking the help of a witch. Am I correct?" I asked, hoping that Ryan would understand.
Ryan's eyes flickered with something I couldn't quite read-pain, maybe. "He's working with a witch. Dark magic. She's been enhancing his power, making him... stronger than any wolf should be."
My stomach twisted. A witch? Magic? This was worse than I thought. "Why are you telling me this now?"
"Because you need to understand what he's capable of." Ryan's voice dropped even lower, almost a growl. "I've been part of it, Ella. I didn't have a choice. He used me as an experiment."
I stared at him, disbelief settling in like a cold chill. "What do you mean, 'experiment'?"
He let out a bitter laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. "He needed a subject for his little tests, and I was the unlucky bastard who survived. The witch... she pumped me full of toxins. Poisons that are deadly to wolves. They tried different mixtures, different dosages, seeing what my body could handle."
My heart pounded in my chest. "How are you still alive?"noveldrama
"I'm not sure." His voice was hollow. "But it's killing me slowly. Every day I feel it... like something's burning inside me, eating away at whatever's left. I've been enduring it for months."
"Oh goddess. Why didn't you tell anyone?" I asked.
"There was no one. No one strong enough to help me. Everyone is my father's minions. They all just want to stick up to him. IT was always him. And do you really think any father would give his son for these dangerous experiments. But he did. This proves how much he loves me."
I looked at Rayan with broken expressions. This was disheartening to even listen and Ryan went through all of these horrors alone.
"It doesn't matter now." His voice was raw, filled with a mix of anger and resignation. “But now my father is too close. He's nearly perfected whatever he's planning, and when he does, no one will be able to stop him. That's why I came to you. I can help you deal with this, but I need something in return."
I frowned, uncertain where this was going. “What?”
"After we stop Alpha Rambo, I need you to purify me. My body is full of toxins and magical experiments. You're the only one who can." His eyes were desperate now, pleading in a way that made my chest tighten.
I wanted to say yes right then, but I couldn't. Not yet. "Ryan, this is a lot to take in. I'm not even sure I can do what you're asking."
He shook his head. "You can. You have to."
I looked at him with caution. I had sympathy for him in my eyes but there was also my gut telling me to discuss this with my mates. I could not promise him anything.
My mates were always in my mind and after understanding what Alpha Rambo was preparing I needed to act smart. I needed to warn my mates about the plan. Before I could respond, something shifted in the air. A low growl echoed through the clearing, and my heart sank as Alpha Rambo stepped from the shadows, his eyes gleaming with fury.
"You're trying to turn my son against me," he snarled, his voice dripping with menace. "I should've known."
I felt Ryan tense beside me, but I held my ground, staring straight into Alpha Rambo's cold, calculating eyes. "I'm not manipulating anyone. You've already done enough damage."
Alpha Rambo's lips twisted into a sneer. "Bold words for someone about to be locked up. Guards!" He snapped his fingers, and before could react, two wolves appeared at my side, their grips like iron as they seized me.
Ryan lunged forward, but Alpha Rambo held up a hand, his expression smug.
"You take one more step, and she dies."
"Don't do this," Ryan growled, his voice thick with barely controlled rage.
Alpha Rambo tilted his head, eyes narrowing. "I've always admired your loyalty,
Ryan. But even you can't protect her from what's coming."
"You think you can harm me and stay alive. This is your biggest & delusion Alpha Rambo. You will pay for all your sins. You will never be the ruler." I screamed as I struggled in their grips.
A low growl bubbled up in my throat. My wolf was ready to come up but then I saw something enclosing my wrist and I felt a sharp pain.
It was shrilling pain, as if my insides were being burned and the worst part was
that I couldn't reach my wolf. It was like I was in a deep dark abyss, waiting for breath to come.
"Take her away," Alpha Rambo ordered.
And I heard something else too, but the pain was too much to bear.
