The Alpha Refused To Let Go

Agitation was like poison, the healer told Lucien.

"In order to spread quickly into the victim's body, it drives the victim into a crazed state. After the poison achieves its goal, it slowly unfolds its true effect.

Before the poisoning victim knows it, he is already losing control over his body and becomes a prisoner in his mind."

Lucien had to agree.

By that definition, he was already submerged into agitation.

"Thankfully, for every poison, there is an antidote."

The healer gave Lucien some concoction to calm his nerves. He offered to accompany Lucien until Ronan came back, but Lucien dismissed him instead.

Lucien did not know how much time passed. When he was close to falling into a slumber, Ronan came back.

Lucien turned his head toward the Alpha who staggered toward him. Ronan's face was pale with fright. As soon as he spotted Lucien on the couch, he knelt in front of the couch and pulled Lucien into a messy hug.
