Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553: The Countdown To Perish Had Begun

(Author’s POV)

Garry was panting heavily now as he finished his words. The oath, it had started the backlash. A sharp, bone chilling pain emerged in his spinal cord, ready to crush him up. He growled, "ARRRRGHHHHHH~~~~~ ..." and bit at his lower lip.

Alaric’s brows wrinkled together, seeing Garry react like that. He quickly unbound his hands, tore his shirt off to check his back, and there it was, a black sign of ouroboros, burning like live charcoal going berserk.

The snake sign was circling on his back as if it was alive, making every breath that Garry took frantic. The next second, he retched, once, twice, and his stomach twisted into a knot. Then all of a sudden, everything died down, the pain, the suffering. But within another minute, a stream of blood splattered out of his mouth. Alaric was stunned to see the colour of the blood. It wasn’t the ordinary red or crimson; it was black, pitch black. The poison had started to take its effect.

"Garry~ .... Garry~ ...." Alaric called, startled. He was doubtful of Garry’s words, but now, seeing him going through the suffering with his own eyes, Alaric was sure what he told was all true. He had broken the oath of obedience and now~ ... his countdown to perish from this world has begun. He had only three days left.

With shallow breaths, Garry weakly opened his raven liquid covered mouth and muttered, "Yo~ung Alpha~ .... I have~ ... told y~ou the who~le tru~th. My~ra, that chi~ld .... she posse~sses the most~ covete~d thin~g on ea~rth. I~ .... just~ wan~ted to~ .... wanted to pro~tect~ ... ughhhhhhhh ... I just wanted to protect her. But~ my time~ is near. I~ ... am~ ... a~ ... sinn~er. I must~ pay the pri~ce now. So~ .... in my stea~d, ple~ase ke~ep her safe. Don’t let her~ ... nea~r the vam~pire elde~rs and ... and tell he~r and~ ... prin~cess Nora~ .... arghhhhhh .... tell the~m this old man~ is ... sorry for~ .... everyth~ing."

"I will not say anything to anyone. The apology is for you to give. Tell it to them yourself," Alaric barked.

Garry gave a self depreciating smile through his blackened teeth, his eyes dimming, "You al~so kno~w I can’t do that. And~ ... also~ ... Secr~etary Gr~ey, he is kno~ws noth~ing abo~ut it. Don’t ha~rm him." He took a long pause then added, "I jus~t wan~t to res~t now~ ... take me home~~~~~" After delivering his confession, he slipped from the chair and passed out as if dead.

Alaric quickly checked his pulse as his voice rumpled to call his subordinate, "SHADE~ .... SHADE~~ ...."

Shade came rushing in, and when he saw the scene, his eyes widened. He quickly recovered, "Young Alpha~ .... what~ ...."

"He is still alive, suffering from a poisoned reaction. Bring Elio and healer Hector here~ ... Tell them not to disclose this to anyone," Alaric commanded.

"Yes, young alpha," Shade replied and scurried off immediately.

"Now that everyone has offered their gifts to his majesty, we should do a toast," Brian urged with a bright smile, his voice loud and clear. Catherine joined in, "Yes, my lord is finally up and about, recovered from such a ghastly accident. It is nothing short of a miracle. So, I would like to do a toast for him. And everyone in this room~ ...." Her voice deliberately slowed down as she glanced around with a calculative smile, "~has to join in." Her eyes settled on Fabian, and her grin widened. She was in a good mood.
