    The moment the call ended, I couldn’t hold it in anymore–I coughed up another mouthful of blood. Something inside my body felt like it was tearing itself apart. My wolf, Callen, let out a painful growl in my mind.


    “Alpha, no matter what, you have to go back to the virusb and get the antibody injection!” Perry urged desperately. “Ms. Aubrey said that antibody can protect against thirty–six different viruses! If you get the injection now, you’ll be okay!”


    “There’s no time.”


    I shook my head. Ulrich is a madman—aplete lunatic.


    Everyone in the North has heard of the Tempest Pack. Not because of its strength, but because their alpha, Ulrich, is an absolute psychopath. He rules his pack with brutal discipline. Anyone who breaks the rules is punished without mercy.


    Plenty have tried to overthrow him, but Ulrich’s long–standing alliance with a ck witch has earned him the favor of Southern pack leaders. With their backing, he’s be even more ruthless and unhinged.


    So if he said two hours, then it’s two hours. If I’m not there by then, he’ll kill Aubrey. No hesitation.


    That’s an oue I won’t ept.


    “To Gold Mountain,” I ordered through gritted teeth.


    “No!” Perry snapped. “Alpha, your body can’t take this! And Ms. Aubrey made it clear–she doesn’t want youing after her!”


    “I’m going.”


    “Alpha! Are you saying her life is more important than yours? Do you realize who you are? And who she is? She’s just an ordinary omega. Even if she’s got some medical skills, she’s not even close to your level! Have you thought about your parents? You’re their only son! And us–we only have one alpha!”


    I’ve thought about my parents, my responsibilities, my pack. I’ve thought about all of it.


    My face burned from the fever, but my mind was clearer than ever.


    “Perry, Go to Gold Mountain.” I said each word with unwavering resolve. No matter what, I was going to save


    my omega<i>. </i>


    I had never been this calm. Never been this certain of the cost.


    “If I go back for the antibody, I might survive. But if I don’t go after her, she will die.”


    I looked Perry in the eyes.


    “I’m willing to give up my one–percent chance of survival to guarantee her one hundred percent chance at living. So go to Gold Mountain/

    “Don’t worry. You said that virus doesn’t appear until after the alpha king dies. That hasn’t happened yet. Alpha Henry’s going to be fine,” E tried tofort me from within.


    “Yeah. It’s not time yet…” I muttered back. Maybe the virus the Alpha cooked up isn’t the real K virus just yet. As long as Alpha Henry goes back and gets the antibody shot, he should be fine.


    After we developed the antidote for the T flu virus, I figured we couldn’t let things rest there. With elite wolf doctors like Fray still around, I invited them to help create an antibody that could fend off a wide range of viruses. It was also part of my n to eventually crack the K virus.


    Luckily, with everyone working together, we managed to produce an antibody that could counter thirty–six different viral strains. I’d steered the development specifically toward resistance to the K virus.


    So if Ulrich’s using an unfinished version of it, then maybe–just maybe–my antibody will work…


    I forced myself to stay calm. Right now, the most important thing was finding a way <i>to </i>escape.


    I nced around slowly. Maybe because Alpha Henry was closing in, the pressure was making these werewolves jittery. The ones guarding me had started to rx. They leaned against trees in small groups, trying to grab a few minutes of rest.


    I narrowed my eyes and slowly inched my body back toward the tall grass behind me…
