The Disgraced Alpha

Change of Heart

Jasen POV

I was on my way out of the packhouse when I saw Alpha coming up from the dungeons and his gray shirt and sweatpants were spattered with blood. I don’t know what he is thinking, but I have to find a way to stop this before he kills her or someone finds out.  I came back to the packhouse for dinner and I ate quietly not quite sure what to say. When everyone had left I filled a glass with water and put a couple of rolls on a plate. She had been out for 2 days before waking up this morning which means she hasn’t eaten or drank anything in at least 3 days.  I walked down to the dungeon to bring it to her partly because I felt bad and partly out of curiosity.  As I walked closer to her cell the smell of blood hit my nostrils but I was not prepared for what I saw. It was dark but with my increased senses, I was still able to see. She was face down in the mattress, her whole back was torn open from the belt and the gashes were still bleeding and blood was beginning to soak into the mattress. She barely looked at me when I walked in but I could tell she had been crying. I was so shocked the only words I could muster were “eat”

As I walked away, thinking she is a human and those wounds will not heal on their own and will most certainly become infected. She has done nothing to deserve this and I cannot stand her and watch her die. Alex has been my best friend since childhood and he is grieving a terrible loss but I need to talk him into taking her to the hospital.

I went up to his office and I heard Amber…his newest bed warmer screaming his name. I walked away interrupting him is not the best way to approach this.
