Sold as the Alpha King’s Breeder Chapter 712

Chapter 57 : Whose Beta?

Payne’s expression flickered several times until he finally composed himself and bowed his head to me.

Then, he gave me a kind of salute I wasn’t familiar with.

Shaking my head, I motioned to Soren.

“We need to treat his wounds. Those nettles were poisonous,” I reminded him.

“Really, there’s no need to worry,” Soren argued, shaking his head. “It is just a minor wound. Nettles are noxious but they aren’t deadly.”

“We don’t know what kind of nettles those were or how serious the poison is,” I said. I pocketed the stone and crossed my arms firmly.

Soren wasn’t going to get out of this that easily.

My eyes trailed to the wound on his leg. His pants were soaked through with blood and I could tell that it was still bleeding heavily.

“We made a camp near the cave where we found you,” Payne said.

He supported Soren as we went through the woods back down the mountain.

They had two tents set up and a small fire pit between them. It was a very rough campsite but I figured they hadn’t planned to stay there long. Just a place to sleep.

I followed Payne into one of the tents. He got Soren onto the cot and I was surprised when Soren didn’t argue or struggle as Payne put a blanket over him.

“Where is Doctor Lee? How fast could he get here?” I asked.

Payne shook his head. “Dr. Lee has been away on a personal matter. He won’t be around for some time and we can’t get in touch with him.”

Soren muttered something and groaned. His eyes were closed and he looked pale. His skin glistened in the lamp light.

I moved around Payne and put my hand on Soren’s forehead. “He has a fever,” I said.

“Soren, how do you feel?” Payne asked.

“Tired,” Soren muttered.

I sat on the edge of his cot and grabbed a nearby cloth, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

“Soren, you should rest,” I urged.

“Maybe… that’s a good idea…” he gasped. He looked at me one last time and then closed his eyes.

I listened as his breathing evened out and he drifted off to sleep. Sighing, I closed my eyes and bowed my head.

Was this the danger Helen had warned me about? I didn’t think so. But it was bad.
