Alpha 227

Eric turned his head at me, and I felt heartbroken. His eyes were not as lively as they used to be.

He looked pale. The strong aura he had almost vanished and turned him

weak.

It reminded me of the day when I woke up in the Blue Blood Pack after running from the Crystal

Blood Pack.

I was weak, just like that. But at that time, apart from Jason, Eric helped me a lot. He became my

friend, and he shared all of my sorrows with me. He helped me move on with my life, and I began to

think of him as a family member. He was important to me, just like Jason was to me.

I entered the room and closed the door behind me. I walked to the bed and sat on the edge.

“Eric, it’s been a long time.”

He smiled at me, though he looked in pain. He lifted his hand, and I caught it immediately.

“How are you?” I asked.

“Natalia, you haven’t changed yet.”

I chuckled at him. “It’s just a couple of months, silly. Not a decade that I would change.”

My words caused him to laugh. “I know. But I don’t think I will stay alive at that time to see you

getting old.”

I shook my head. “Please don’t say that. I promise you. You will be fine. Jason will also stay alive.”

He told me his body was getting weaker from the poison. He expressed how much pain he had to

go through, and he was relieved that Jason was unconscious because he was afraid his best friend

would have to go through this unbearable pain as well.

“Doctor Max found the cure. He will save you both.”

“Are you sure?”

I nodded at him. “Yes.”

“Then tell him to save Jason first.”

I bit my lower lip while looking at Eric. He did not care for himself but for his alpha.

I patted the back of Eric’s hand and said,

“Eric, Max set a condition for the treatment”

A frown formed in his brows. “What condition?”

“He wants me to be his girlfriend.”

I assumed he would respond with shock. But he started to chuckle.

“That man. Of course, he did that.”

I released his hand and asked,

“Did you know about it?”

He smiled at me and asked,

“About what? That he likes you?”

My brows lifted in shock. “Y–Yeah.”

He sighed and said,

“Your brother knew it too. When he visited our pack during the alliance’s completion period, he

requested that your brother allow you to further your education in the medicine field. He wanted you

to train under him so you could achieve your dream. His clear intention was to be with you.”

I parted my lips in surprise. I remembered telling Max that my family had given me responsibility, so

I had no way to pursue my dreams.

Was that why he went to talk to my brother?

I glanced at Eric, who stared at me for a while before saying,

“You have a crush on him anyway. Why don’t you give him a chance?”
