Chapter 596

Ron:

“What the fuck did you just say?” I snapped at Byron, and he finally came to a halt.

He pulled the car over to the side of the road and quickly got out because he could tell I was going to jump out if he did not stop.

I walked around the car and grabbed his collar.

“You’re taking your anger out on the wrong person,” he remarked, grabbing my wrist and slowly removing my hands from his collar.

I knew very well that he was not at fault, but the news shattered me.

It felt like a nightmare where everything is going well, and then suddenly something extremely bad happens.

“It happened last night.” Byron started explaining what had happened.

He said that somebody had broken in, that someone arrived with the intent of harm and shot Yuvonne.

I almost lost my footing. If it were not for Byron supporting me, I would have fallen onto the road.

“How is she?” I asked, my face tightening.

“Did they figure out who did it?” I demanded, needing to know how this could happen to my beautiful, innocent mate.

“Not yet. Right now, they are just focusing on saving her,” Byron replied.

Every word from him felt like a blow. It reminded me how serious her condition was.

“But why would anyone come to kill her?” I asked, my hands shaking as I ran them through my hair.

“Listen, we need to go. We have to reach her quickly,” Byron urged.

I nodded and quickly got into the car.

I was still numb. It felt like if I reacted properly, all of this would become real.

And I could not believe it. That was my life, my mate. It could not be true.

We had not been allowed to meet for the past few months. And now, when we were about to meet, this happened.

As soon as Byron started the car again, I shifted anxiously in my seat. I felt like jumping out and running straight there, but the wolfsbane still lingered in my system from what had been given to me earlier, something every prisoner received to keep their wolf under control.

I felt completely helpless.

“You didn’t tell me how she is,” I asked him again, though I did not want to know. The way he had explained everything made it clear that she was not fine.

“They had to put her into a temporary coma to stop the blood loss,” he said.

That alone was enough for me to hear. I already knew what it meant. The situation he described was deadly.

Most of the time, when something like this happened, it meant the chances of survival were almost zero.

I held myself together for a few minutes before I broke down, burying my face in my hands and crying hysterically.

“Ron, please calm down. Everything will be fine,” Byron said, reaching out and placing a hand on my shoulder, giving it a firm squeeze.

“No, you don’t understand, Byron. This means the end for her. This means the end for me,” I said, pointing at myself.

“How could this happen? Who did it? I want to know. I want to fucking kill them, but I want her to survive,” I choked out as tears streamed down my face.

They used to say alphas do not cry. I do not believe it. The stronger you are, the more open you are to showing your emotions without fear.

“Okay, Ron, listen to me,” Byron said, turning to me, one hand on the steering wheel as he made sure he did not miss any turns.

“Madeline is on it.”

The moment he said those words, I felt a sudden wave of relief. It felt like everything would be fine.

I mean, he said Madeline was on it.

“On to what?” I asked.

“Finding a cure for her.”

Madeline was doing it.

I smiled, relief washing over me.

“Well, if Madeline is on it, then it will be done right.”

I smiled to myself.

“But what is she looking for?” I asked, confused, because if she was already working on it, then she must have had some clue or direction on what to find.

“The doctor told

her there is a valley where someone can go and find the water. It works as a cure for certain

kinds of injuries, mostly those

involving heavy blood loss Byron

explained which immediately

caught my interest because it was exactly what Yuvonne was going through.

“And only a special person can see it,” he added, pouting slightly.

I knew exactly why Madeline had to go there. She would definitely be able to see it.

I leaned back in my seat and relaxed, smiling to myself.

“Then my baby will be fine. And who knows, by the time we get there, she might already be awake,” I said, burying my face in my hands and laughing softly. “Oh my God, you scared me. Of course, it will be fine,” I murmured to myself. At that moment, I realized something. Holding onto this hope was necessary, otherwise I would lose myself. I would lose my mind, my control, everything.

If anything happened to Yuvonne, I would not survive it.

Our journey had already begun.

Just then, Byron received a message from Sean, and he smiled.

“They got the cure.”

The moment he said that, I closed my eyes and silently thanked the Moon Goddess.

Now we just needed to get home quickly. Sean had told Byron that they were already speeding toward the hospital and from how close they were, it seemed like they would reach before us.

That was good. I wanted her to be awake by the time I arrived. I wanted her to be completely fine, because seeing her in pain like that would be unbearable for me
