Chapter 50

ROYCE.

“What happened? The King will have my head! That thing was in my territory! I should have been alerted!” Prescott mutters, visibly panicking as a group of doctors rush to Skyla’s side the moment I place her down. Charlotte’s coat covering her.

One of the guards who had accompanied me from the entrance of the hospital now passes me some sweatpants and I pull them on quickly, looking down at her.

The beautiful goddess is in pain. I can see it on her face and the way her body is trembling ever so slightly.

The venom of the snake shuts down the body, and depending on how much venom the person is exposed to, their death can be fast or can take up to a few days. Those who we know have been poisoned are healed before the venom can kill them.

Skyla had been inside of him. Even if it was for a few seconds, she has still been exposed to an extreme level of venom and I had felt her body beginning to shut down.

“She’s so cold…”

I’ve frozen her somewhat, to slow the spread of the poison further. I know it’s something I’m going to have to explain to the royals when they show up, but right now, I don’t really care.

If it can save her life, who cares if I break the oath of the court?

I can’t bring myself to move back, as a nurse quickly puts a sheet over her breasts and private area, removing Charlotte’s coat as they begin checking her stats.

The doctors are panicking. I can clearly see they don’t know what to do.

Now under the bright light of the hospital room, I can see her skin turning grey and it’s not because of me partially freezing her.

“Antivenom! Now!”

I made sure the rain washed off every inch of the poison, but the effect was still here.

“She’s struggling to breathe!” One of the doctors says, “The poison is too strong for her body to take. Let’s try the-”

“I’ve given her a high dose of the best, hook her up to a ventilator, and get a blood transfusion from me. Let’s try to remove the poison from her wound manually.” I command, stepping forward. It’s not the first time I’ve dealt with fatal injuries.

Dad made sure Aleric and I had full experience and knowledge in the medical field.

I’m not letting anything happen to her. I pull my hair back, twisting a strand around it, knotting it fast.

“Roger!”

“I need some charcoal and goldenseal, as well as fire…” I say calmly, despite the fear inside of me.

Fear doesn’t help…

“Alpha Arden, are you sure-”

“I know what I’m doing. Until the queen gets here, we need to act fast and slow the poison.” I say, taking a cloth and wiping her side with warm water, seeing the burns spreading across her stomach.

It’s not enough, we’re not doing enough.

Someone brings me the items I asked for, and taking some, I spread it over her side.
