Drsystan’s POV
Asha’s eyes turned wide when she saw my face. She was clearly surprised to see me, not expecting that I would suddenly turn up behind her back.
“What took you so long to get here?” Asha asked as soon as she recognized my face. “I thought you wouldn’t be coming. I thought you didn’t care about Astrid as much as you did before now that she had finally served her purpose,” she commented disdainfully, trying to get on my nerves.
Nova has been regularly updating me with their life in the Shadowfang Pack. Even though I was away, I still knew what was happening to them.
Nova had once informed me that Asha had provoked Astrid into a fight before. Asha thinks that our purpose of coming here was to gain connections with her father and use their Pack to stabilize our failing Pack.
Since the words she threw at me weren’t new anymore, I let it slide out of my mind.
“What?” Asha snapped at her brother angrily when he suddenly discreetly held her back by the arm.
“Is there anything wrong with Astrid, doctor?” I spoke up, changing the tides of our conversation.
I came here to check on Astrid, not to pick out a fight with them.
“Alpha Drystan.” The Doctor bowed his head first as he acknowledged my status.
“I was just here to explain that I made a mistake—“
“What mistake?!” I instantly snapped, my fists clenched by my sides.
I wasn’t able to hold back my anger the moment I heard the word ‘mistake.’ If this is anything serious, I swear, I will not let this stupid Doctor get off the hook.
“It was about Astrid’s wolf. I made a mistake by saying that Astrid’s wolf was dead,” The Doctor explained eagerly when he saw my anger.
“Do you mean… do you mean to say that Astrid’s wolf is alive?” I asked with a look of disbelief on my face.
At the same time that I received the news that Astrid’s life was in danger, I also received the news that her wolf had already died, unable to survive any longer.
I was so devastated when I heard the news, and I was more afraid of what would happen to Astrid if she had learned about it.
