Chapter 81
SONIA’S POV
I had just finished arranging the bed laid on when the door opened, and a girl walked into the room.
I turned around, and discovered she was staring at me with an unreadable expression on her face.
She went ahead to look at me from head to toe, before the semblance of a smile graced her face.
“You look like you survived. Maybe Beta Blane did know what he was doing after all,” she said.
I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact it was
as him who saved me. I didn’t expect it to happen, and knew that because it had happened, he would be in trouble with Ramon.
More than ever before, I wished there was something I could do to help him escape the troubles that were sure to follow him, after helping me.
“Im Sonia,” I stretched out my hand to her. “I’m guessing this is your room? Thanks for allowing me to spend the night.”
She accepted my handshake, and I saw her smile broaden. I felt at peace in my heart because it seemed like she was a kind person, and I had little to worry about being backstabbed.
“Beta Blane asked me to bring you to lvy’s room. We have to be careful because the alpha is going to be away for just an hour. The guards around the hallway where the sick people are taken should be on a short break now. Before they swap, we have to take advantage of their absence.”
I nodded to show I was listening attentively, and ready to act on her suggestions. It wasn’t lost on me how fast beta Blanc moved
He was in serious trouble with Ramon for helping me before, yet, he didn’t hesitate to help me again
My body may not have totally forgiven his invasion, but at least, I recognized the hypocrisy in desiring Ramon who had done nothing but hurt me over and over again.
“I didn’t get your name?” I withdrew my attention from Ramon, whose image had sprung up in my mind the second I thought of him, and brought it back to the silver headed girl
“Crystal,” she said.
Crystal escorted me past the place where the guards wouldn’t see us, and stopped just at the door Ivy was kept
“This is as far as I can follow you. I have to return to my duties,” she said.
I hugged her, and felt her jerk in surprise. She wasn’t expecting me to, but I didn’t know any other way to show my appreciation
“Thanks for helping me. I won’t forget you”
To my surprise, she brought her palms to my cheeks, and cupped them.
“You’re so beautiful and worthy of a good life. Don’t give up,” she said as if she was breathing life into me.
In a split second, she disappeared out of sight, leaving only the echoes of her kind words behind.
I took a deep breath, and faced the door. I couldn’t feel Ivy. It was expected because she was unconscious. Another day in there, and there would be serious life altering consequences
I knocked, and opened the door.
“I’ve been waiting for you, the man from the other day said, without looking up.
He was the pack’s doctor. From this side, and judging by how tense his back was, I could tell he was tired and needed to rest
I walked up to him, and placed my hand on his shoulders. He turned, and offered me a weak smile.
“How did you manage to damn the alpha’s fury?” He asked.
I opened my mouth ready to tell him how lane had helped, when I quickly bit it hard in silence.
I couldn’t rat out Blane. I requested his help. If there was anyone to bear the consequences, it had to be me.
“I just found a way here. How is she?”

“Not good,” he turned hack to her stagnant body. I told the alpl she’s not doing good, and I’ve exhausted all of my ideas. He doesn’t take me seriously. He doesn’t believe that a seasoned doctor like me could possibly run out of ideas. How else do I let him know that we can’t possibly know everything!”
The veins in his face had multiplied since the last time I saw him. From the tome of his voice, and the veins in his forehead, I could tell he was very worried, and weary.
Alpha Ramon’s biggest downside was his stubbornness. He simply refuses to compromise on his ideas.
However, I could also see his compassion. The way he treated Ivy didn’t, you’d think she wasn’t just a servant too. Almost as if he l
Envy from the depths of hell sniped at me, and I instantly felt disgusted with myself.
The loved her
Who cared if Ramon loved her! This was Ivy here. The only person that cared about me, when every other person I encountered sneered at me.
was good to me, and now, I had to be extra good to her.
“Would you mind if 1 make certain suggestions? You can take credit for it. I’ll just tell you what I think should be done, and you can do it.”
He laughed bitterly, shaking his head as he did.
“I’m not a man filled with pride.” Sonia. “I don’t need anyone to make themselves small, for me to look big. If you can heal the girl, do it, I’ll look out for Ramon for you.”
Tears stung my eyes, as I massaged his shoulders gently.
“I’ll do everything I ca I promise.”
“I know you will,” he moved to stand, and I let go of his shoulders. “Tell me,
what can I do to help?”
1 looked around the room. I was right in my mind. A room could affect the health of a person.
“First, we need to change her room to a brighter place. Then we need to get rid of the bandage. I know what your idea was when you did that, but I think it has already served its purpose. It’s time to let a natural element like air do what it’s supposed to do.”
He nodded. “Wait here for me. I’ll call two of the guards to help move her to another room. If we’re lucky, Ramon would be none the wiser when we’re done.”
As he walked away, I went to Ivy, and sat beside her.
“You’ll be fine,” I said to her soul, hoping, and praying that she could hear me.
In the midst of my prayers, the other side of me wondered what my fate would be, if Ramon walked in through 1
I that door.
