Jealousy Alpha’s Regret

Chapter 222

‘Yesterday’s shooting at the Stone estate wasn’t random, was it?” I said, keeping my voice steady despite my racing heart. “Someone really wants un dead

He didn’t respond, his eyes calculating as he circled around the room. I stayed in motion too, keeping the bed behind me. My wolf stirred within, defensive instincts sharpening my senses. I could feel my canines lengthening slightly, my fingernails hardening into claws.

“You won’t get out of here alive if you touch either of us,” I warned, my voice dropping lower.

The man smirked. “Funny, I was thinking the same about you.”

He charged suddenly, faster than a human should move. I barely had time to react, grabbing the metal tray from the bedside table and swinging it hard. It connected with his arm, sending the second syringe flying. He grunted in pain but recovered quickly, throwing a punch that caught me in the shoulder

I stumbled back, crashing into the medical equipment. The IV stand toppled over with a loud clang. I expected nurses or security to come running at the noise, but the corridor remained eerily silent.

“No one’s coming,” he said, reading my thoughts. “Your little protection detail is taking a nice nap right now.“*

Cold fear washed through me. We were completely alone.

The fake doctor grabbed a scalpel from a nearby medical tray, its metal gleaming under the harsh hospital lights. My hand instinctively went to my stomach in a protective gesture. Not just my life at stake here.

We circled each other in the small room, knocking over equipment and furniture. I was trying to keep my movements controlled, conscious of my pregnancy. while he became increasingly aggressive. When he lunged again, I ducked under his arm and delivered a hard kick to the back of his knee. He stumbled bur didn’t fall.

Just as he regained his balance and turned toward me, the door burst open. Blake stood there, taking in the scene in an instant. His eyes flashed amber as his wolf surged forward. The assassin, seeing he was now outnumbered, smashed the syringe on the floor and made a dash for the window. Before either Blake or I could stop him, he’d crashed through the glass and disappeared.

I leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. “Thank god you came back.”

Blake was already checking on Sebastien, making sure he hadn’t been harmed in the commotion. “What happened?”

*Fake doctor,” I said, crouching down to examine the broken syringe on the floor. I carefully avoided touching the liquid, but I could smell it clearly now. 16 nose wrinkled at the acrid scent. “This is a neurotoxin. If injected into a werewolf’s bloodstream, it would cause respiratory failure within minutes. It also suppresses our healing abilities, making death almost certain.”

I stood up, my legs slightly shaky. “He was going to kill us both. One needle for Sebastien, one for me.”

“How did he get past security?” Blake wondered aloud.

‘Let’s find out.” I moved toward the door, Blake following close behind.

The scene in the hallway confirmed my worst fears. The werewolf guards who had been stationed throughout the corridor were all slumped against walle or sprawled on the floor, unconscious but alive.

I crouched next to one of them, catching a whiff of the same acrid smell from the syringe, but more diluted. They used a gas, said, heking up at Blake “That’s why no nurses came when I called. That’s why we didn’t hear any comption during the fight.
