A Death Sentence

Lucien woke up to Ronan's screaming voice.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING???"

What followed was the sound of someone crashing against the wall.

"WHAT KIND OF STRESS CAUSES SEVERE NOSEBLEED LIKE THIS???"

"Alpha Ronan, please calm down!!!"

"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU IF LUCIEN DIES!!!"

"Just let us work on Mr. Clearwater first!"

"Lucien!! LUCIEN!!!"

Lucien slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to the side.

Ronan was screaming like a madman. He extended his hand in Lucien's direction, but Lucien was unable to move his body.

The last thing he saw before he closed his eyes again was a group of nurses pushing the Alpha out of the room.

'Ronan...'

Either Ronan failed to answer or Lucien lost consciousness before he heard his mate's answer.

Lucien didn't know.

Some time later, he woke up again and heard voices at his bedside.

"Mr. Clearwater?"
