Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 57
Ethan's POV It had been seven agonizing days. The stench of the dungeon was unbearable and Ramine's corpse had reduced to bloated remains, clumps of green decaying skin littered around the dungeon floor, a work of the rats. The rats weren't the only problem as flies and insects clambered over the corpse. My vision blurred uncontrollably, my eyes were so heavy that keeping them open was torture. My stomach was churning and rumbling, my insides twisting painfully. My throat was so dry that it had become sore and my bladder was so full that I could barely move my legs because I feared that if I did, I would wet myself. I had been starved of food and water for these seven days, no one had come to see me so I couldn't ask to use the bathroom. The first few days I cried a lot, seeing Ramine in this state again made me too emotional but on the fourth day, when the hunger and thirst became unbearable, I didn't even have the strength to worry about that anymore as I battled with the hung
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 58
Esme's POV"A week?!"Rachel and I exclaimed."Yes. He might last a little more than that but I doubt it. His body is growing frail and this keeps up then……""No! There must be some way to save him. He just can't……He can't die like this. Please, there has to be a way, tell me what it is. I'm willing to do anything." I broke out in tears, shivering."I'm really sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Luna but there are only two options here. Since the mate mark you placed on him is the ultimate cause of his suffering, it seems you'll have to break your bond with him, completely.You'll have to renounce your bond and go far away from him. After the bond is broken, I'm sure the effects of the curse will cease." Irma explained and I collapsed.Rachel held me up while I covered my mouth with my hand to muffle my cries.Of all the options in the world, I had never expected this. If we truly are fated mates then why does our bond hurt him?I thought we could finally be together but now I realize
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 59
Esme's POV"I'm sorry Rachel but I have to do this. He's only in this state because of me so I have to fix it." I decided."Esme, you should know how much I adore the both of you and how I've always prayed that you would stay together forever but this……. This changes everything. I know you love him a lot, maybe even more than I do but the bottom line is, I won't let you risk both your lives on a gamble. Please, I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart. Please take the easier alternative and go far away, when Ethan wakes up and we explain the situation to him, he'll understand. He'll just have to.I know it'll be difficult having to be away from each other for the rest of your lives, especially with a baby on the way but this is for both your well-being.We could find a way to make it work, just please promise me you'll give up on the idea of retrieving that flower." Rachel requested, holding my hand pleadingly."I'm sorry Rachel, that's a promise I can't make to you. All of this h
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 60
Esme's POV I woke up in my bed, my head pounding. I sat up groggily and tried to get up but my feet felt cramped. What am I doing here in the first place? And where's Ethan? I try to recall the events that could have led up to this point but my head is all fuzzy. "Esme, are you OK?" Solar asked. "Yeah, I think I'm fine but what happened?" I asked. "Irma told us the reason Ethan is currently indisposed. You decided we were going on a quest to find the blessed flower but Rachel tried to stop us." Solar recounted and everything suddenly started coming back to me. Rachel had called in the doctor who injected me with something and the next minute, I was losing consciousness. Just what did they do to me? And how long have I been asleep? I rushed towards the door and tried to open it but it was locked from the outside. No, no. I banged on the door, trying to see if I could catch the attention of anyone nearby. "Hello? Hello? Is someone out there? Please open the door." I called a
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 61
Esme's POVHis reply had me stunned for a bit because it was what I least expected but I quickly regained my composure, still pointing my knife at him."And why should I believe you? You could just be saying that in order to make me drop my guard so you can overpower me." I yelled accusatory."Please keep your voice down, I don't want the guard outside to know that I'm having a conversation with you. I had to go through a lot of trouble just to be able to be the one to bring the food to you." He whispered and I frowned."You still haven't answered me. What are your true motives?" I questioned, keeping my voice low this time."What reason would I have to lie to you? Besides……." He said and swiftly grabbed my hand pointing the knife at him, applying enough pressure to make me drop the knife as I whimpered in pain.He just as swiftly picked the knife up and I flinched backwards.He grazed his index finger over the edge of the knife, cutting himself."Do you really think this could hurt m
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 62
Esme's POV"Please tell me you're joking." I beseeched."I'm speaking the truth. This fact combined with the dangers just makes it impossible, I'm sorry." He apologized"No. No, it can't end like this." I said and plopped on the bed."I'm sorry but if you wish to save the Alpha, you'll have to take the other option. I know it would be devastating to be away from each other for the rest of your lives, it's a cruel fate but then the Alpha would be alive at least.Even if I could get you out of this palace and you choose to embark on the journey, according to the witch's predictions, the Alpha would be dead before we even get there. So please Esme, I want you to…….""How can that be the only way? I can feel it deep in my heart, I'm sure that there's some other way. I just have to think about it with a clear head." I cut in."Esme please, stressing like this will be detrimental to your health. Think of your child this one time please and take the safe option." He advised"Irma!" I exclaim
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 63
Esme's POVI put on the guard's clothes and braided my hair into a ponytail before wrapping the braided part round and round in a circular pattern, holding it in place with a bobby pin and putting on a cap to cover it.I looked in the mirror and was satisfied with how I looked so I left."I'm done." I alerted and he paused to take a good look at me. I could see a smile stretching the edge of his lips."Is my disguise convincing enough or am I missing something?" I asked in a fret."No, you aren't missing anything. Your disguise is pretty convincing. I'm rather surprised how good you look even in men's clothes." He said and I didn't have time to decide if he was either flirting or just teasing."Alright, let's go." I urged and we both headed for the door. But I quickly made a stop at my bedside table to grab the fruit knife just in case I might really need it.He went out first and when he told me the coast was clear, I followed.He locked the door from the outside but left the key in
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 64
Esme's POV"What? What do you mean by that?" I asked, still not putting my knife away."I knew you were coming, long before you even came up with the plan. I wouldn't be a seer if I didn't know this, would I?" She asked softly.Damn it. I had royally underestimated this woman and I had completely forgotten the fact that she was clairvoyant.But if she knew I was coming, is it possible that this is a trap? Is that perhaps why Rachel had not reacted when Axel and I passed by? Does she already know as well? I wouldn't be surprised now if several guards burst through that door any minute.This is all just so hard to deal with."Cast your fears away, dear. Rachel doesn't know a thing." She said as if reading my mind."Why should I believe a single word you say? You're Rachel's friend after all. You could be trying to trick me." I countered."Yes, but I wouldn't gain anything from that, would I? By the time I arrived, I already knew the plans that Rachel had for you. I knew she was going to

Esme's POV"Uh…. How do we get down? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall there being a rope in the bag." I said."There isn't. There has to be some kind of way through it since there isn't a way around it. I'll take a look." He said and moved away and though I wanted to stop him, I resisted the urge."It's just as I thought." I suddenly heard him blurt out."Did you find something?" I asked as I made my way to the spot which he was crouched over."There's a rope ladder here. It's been set securely in place and seems to go all the way down." He mentioned it to me and I touched the ladder, confirming how sturdy it was. I didn't know if to consider this a good thing.A prepared ladder just sitting around waiting here for us might not be a good sign, I don't even know what we should expect."Who could have put it here?" I asked briskly."I don't know and I don't think we should be worrying about that at the moment. We'll have to get down and keep our guard up since there's so much
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 70
Esme's POV Tanika. Alpha Waylen. Nightwalker Pack. These words kept swirling in my head. The things she had just said, none of them made any sense. I have no business with Tanika and the Night Walker Pack. Besides, Tanika is dead, Ethan said he killed her himself. Even if she survived by some miracle, what on earth would she be doing in the Forbidden Zone? She couldn't possibly be the one standing in front of me, this has to be a trick. I need to get this girl, whoever she is to leave me alone and I have to find Axel so we can get out of this hole as soon as possible. "That's not possible, you're lying." I blurted. "Arlene, why would you say that?" She asked and tried to touch my face but I dodged her advances. "Don't call me that and stay away from me. I need to get out of here, I have to find Axel." I said and limped away, trying to go as far away as I could from her but her next words paused me in my tracks. "Don't you want to know the truth? The truth of your existence? Don

Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 68
Esme's POVA wonderful aroma tickled my senses, causing me to turn sideways but my eyes forced open when a sharp pain from my leg hit me.I groaned and tossed the blanket wrapped around me to the side before rising a bit, carefully sitting up. I feel really groggy and my body isn't even cooperating. I scratched at my eyes and yawned, stretching a bit. The delicious smell came again and I looked around to see Axel, he was sitting by the fire and seemed to be cooking something."You're finally awake, good morning." He greeted me with a smile while I replied accordingly."Good morning.""How do you feel?" He asked and I paused for a bit, trying to find the best way to describe how I felt."Honestly, I don't feel good at all. My leg still hurts, though not as bad as yesterday, it's painful but bearable. I feel tired, my throat's a bit dry and the nausea's back again. I feel bloated and my boobs hurt, they're swollen." I surmised."That's a good sign." He sighed."What?""You're only exper
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 67
Esme's POV"What?!" I blurted weakly."If I'm ever going to have a chance to finish the mission, I can't lose a leg. Please there has to be some other way." I pleaded, my eyes watering.The thought of my leg being cut off, coupled with the pain, wasn't something I wanted to imagine."There's only one other way I can think of but it's not guaranteed. If it doesn't work, the poison will still be able to get to your heart and kill you." He suggested"Just try it at least, please." I begged and he took a deep breath. He brought out a pair of pants and tore it into long strips before tying one very tightly at the start of the swelling and he did the same at the end, towards my foot."What are you going to do?" I couldn't help but ask. "I'm going to try to see if I can get the poison to flow out with your blood, that's why I tied up your leg, so it wouldn't be able to spread. I'll cut open the swelling and we can let the blood flow out. I'll cauterize the wound right after but it's going to
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 66
Esme's POVMy scream rented the air as soon as my eyes darted to the ground. Leafy vines had wrapped around my legs and were moving up my body fast.The vines moved smoothly on their own, surrounding my body and holding me tightly in place. What kind of plant is this? And how can it move so fluidly on its own? It seems to be intelligent as well, going for my legs first.Axel rushed over and his eyes widened when he saw my current dilemma."Esme!" He called out worriedly before pausing. He took a few steps back, creating a good distance between us.If he gets too close, the vines might ensnare him as well and we'll both be in trouble."Please stop struggling, these are carnivorous vines. If you move too much, it might try to harm you." He warned and I paused, my heart beating wildly in my chest.A leafy and thorn filled vine creeped over to me and wrapped around my body, shredding my clothes. Wait a minute, it seems like it's trying to gain access to my skin. After having escaped deat
Healing The Damaged Alpha Chapter 65
Esme's POV "Wow. It's so phantasmagoric. Looking through this boundary, the Forbidden Zone seems so beautiful but it's the deadliest place in existence." Axel commented. "I agree with you completely, it's so beautiful but we have to be careful. You remember what Irma said, looks are often deceiving." I reminded him. I moved behind him and opened the backpack, placing the traveler's stone in it. "Let's go." I beckoned and we both walked through the boundary and into the Forbidden Zone. The place was massive, spanning for miles but also really beautiful with huge trees, clear skies and nice vegetation. The air felt cool and relaxing, the songs of beautiful birds filled the air and butterflies littered the place, flying around the low grasses. This place feels like it was created right out of a dream, it looks like paradise. "The view is awesome and I've never seen trees like these before, the flowers are pretty." I blurted. "Trees like these are rather rare, they grow naturally i
