Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 144 – He’ll become a vegetable

Daisy froze the second the mind link hit her, her entire body going stiff like she had just been caught doing something she couldn’t explain her way out of. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out, no response sent back through the link.

"Damon..." she said finally, her voice barely steady, her eyes darting toward him. "Ravyn is at the pack house."

Before Damon could even process that, another mind link cut straight into his thoughts, sharp and demanding.

’Damon, where is Daisy? She didn’t answer me. I came to surprise her, but Bryan isn’t in his room. I already mind linked with his tutors, and they said he hasn’t been at the academy for the past two days. What’s going on?’

This time, Damon felt it. That sudden, sinking tension, and or a split second, he didn’t know what to say, didn’t know how to respond without setting something off.

He had wanted to tell Ravyn the truth about Bryan’s condition before things got worse, but Daisy had always stopped him, always insisted she had everything under control.

Now look where that had gotten them? There was no point hiding it anymore. ’Alpha, Bryan is at the hospital,’ Damon replied through the mind link.

The connection dropped instantly after that. Damon exhaled slowly, turning to Daisy with a look that said everything she didn’t want to hear. "You need to get ready," he told her. "He’s on his way."

Panic flickered across her face, but she didn’t have the luxury of breaking down right now. Her mind started racing, grasping at anything that could sound like an excuse, something that would soften the blow before Ravyn got here.

But when Ravyn finally walked in, he didn’t look angry but rather worried.
