" Ten grams of morphine~" the female doctor yelled to the nurses as they were rushing to get the drug and inject it in Devon's system. The female doctor glanced at the machine showing his heart rate.



"We are losing him because of the pain and the shock!" she yelled again loudly and after she did, one of the nurses, a short girl with red hair dug the needle into his vein, injecting the morphine. Devon's body began convulsing. He was laying on his stomach, the shirt was ripped off exposing the ugly deep whip wounds on his broad back.


Jason was there too. He watched everything with horror. His eyes wide, teary and lips parted. He prayed that this man wouldn't die. He prayed and prayed, kept praying even when he was rushed in the emergency department.


Everything passed like a blur after that. Leo, Devon's brother was also unconscious from the wolfsbane, but thankfully he hadn't been abused like Devon was so he the doctor told the omega that Leo would recover soon enough. But Jason was worried more about Devon. He kept patrolling in front of his hospital room for days ahead, barely eating and barely sleeping.

That damn pain in his chest was increasing, the omega felt as if he would die too.

What was happening?

Leo woke up in the hospital room, low groan escaping his lips. He felt like crap. He tried to sit up but it was impossible because his head his spinning.

"Ah- fuck..." he cursed in a deep raspy voice before his eyes landed on the small petite frame of a man sitting beside him.

There was silence in the room for a couple of minutes.

" You are my brother's little playtoy, eh? " Leo smirked smugly even when in situation like this. Jason wanted to hit this man so hard. He shook his head and rolled his eyes.

"Shut up before I break your teeth. " the omega snarled.

"Feisty little omega. I like it. " Jason felt disgusted at his lame attempts to flirt. He wanted to throw up.

"How can you be so damn inconsiderate and indifferent to this situation when your brother is in the next room fighting for his life? "

Leo's expression changed from that small mischievous glint in his brown eyes to the coldness and the jaw clenching.

" Why are you so uptight. Relax, Devon's gonna be fine. " Jason was ready to yell at him again and curse at him.

"So, did you manage to see your abductor's face? "the omega asked lowly, visibly annoyed by his behavior.

Leo smirked again and tilted his head to the side, crossing arms against his chest.

"Are you a cop now? I'll answer only in front of the police. "

He was cocky. Jason hated it. He wanted to punch that man, but he was too weak. Devon's condition had worsened and he has been in the hospital for a week now. Jason felt so vulnerable it was unreal.

" I am a lawyer. "

Leo blinked a few times before bursting out with laughter then hissing from the pain hitting into his body.

" A lawyer? How cute. Little omega dreams big. "

Jason snarled at the man and rose up from the chair he sat upon. " I give up speaking with you. Suit yourself out. I will find someone else to help me find who that bitch is. " Jason seemed to lose his temper around that man within the first minutes of them interacting. And Jason thought that Devon was bad. His brother was worse.

"Wait~" Leo croaked out quietly behind the omega who was ready to just storm out of the hospital room. Jason stopped in his tracks and let out an annoyed sigh, slowly spinning around on his heels, arms crossed against his chest.

"I want to find out who it is. So I'll help you. "

"Good. Better buckle up because as soon as you get out of that hospital, we are going to do our small investigation. "

Leo was out of the hospital after a few more days while Devon was still unconscious. Jason was pacing back and forth in the large living-room of Devon's mansion as Leo sat on the couch, watching the omega pace.

"You'll make a hole in the ground. " Leo muttered casually.

"I'll make a hole in your face if you don't stop staring me as if I am a piece of meat. " Jason hissed and Leo immediately laughed at that. The alpha was quite the charmer for everyone, ever since he was a child, Leo was used to getting everything he wants, with charm or with persuading, but that omega was quite the feisty little petal.

" Fine. Fine. Why are you so nervous about? Jenkins is gonna tell us some good news. I bet he'll burst through the door and tell us the killer's name!" he tried to comfort the omega somehow. This was Leo's way of comforting someone.

And just as he said those words, the old police officer Jenkins burst through the door carrying a large folder in his hand. He rushed toward the small table and threw the folder on the wooden surface.

" We found the accomplice of your abductor, Mister Ryder. " the old man muttered out, cheeks red, probably from running.

Jason stopped pacing and reached for the folder, Leo did too and their hands touched. The omega glanced at the man and huffed while the alpha only smirked and took the folder, opening it slowly as he read through the pages.

"David Garcia, thirty-seven, an alpha, born in Canada... Wasn't he the one who was put in prison for abusing his soulmate? " Leo asked curiously, glancing up at the cop. Jenkins nodded his head.

"Yes, but he came out from prison a month ago. We found his fingertips on the crime scene. "

"Fuck, we can be closer than we think. We just need to find him. "

Jenkins sighed heavily and put his hands on his waist.

"Here is where the bad news is, Leo. " he muttered lowly, wiping some sweat off his forehead, eyes shifting from the alpha to the omega.

"He was found dead yesterday in his home. Drug overdose. "

Jason's heart sank. He felt hopeless suddenly. He wanted to fucking scream, Leo rose up from where he was sitting and threw the folder right at Jenkins's face. The cop's eyes widened, he looked horrified.

"Find good fucking evidence, then come to me, understood?!" he yelled, eyes glowing red, a low growl escaped his lips that grumbled into the ground. Jason's breath was hitching in his throat.

Jenkins only muttered series of apologies and scurried out from the room, carrying the folder. Once they were alone, Leo was the one who was pacing back and forth, hands behind his head as he tried to calm himself down.

"This is important to you, isn't it? Why? " Jason asked in quiet confusion, eyes shifting on the alpha.

Leo stopped in his tracks to look at the omega.

"Because of that bitch. . . the killer. . . killed my soulmate. "

The omega froze. He was shocked. An awkward silence filled the room. Jason tried to comfort Leo, but he quickly cut off the omega.

"Save it. " he hissed as he stormed out of the living room.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.



Devon slowly opened his eyes, yet his vision was blurry, he also tried to adjustto the faint light but it was as if small needles were piercing through hiseyes over and over again. The alpha tried to move but an excruciating pain hithim immediately and a loud groan escaped his lips. He couldn't move at all.

What happened?

It took him some minutes to remember what had happened last before he lostconsciousness and when he did, his heart began racing.

He thought he was dead at some point, but as soon as his vision became clearer,he saw the faint and cracked baby blue walls, the grey blinds almost coveringthe light outside and soon enough he shifted his eyes to the cables attached toboth of his hands.

He was in a hospital.

He survived? Did Leo save him?

He tried to move his one hand and rub his eyes but that pain hit him again. Devongritted his teeth, his eyes were watery and he guessed he looked like totalshit right now. He tried to get off the cables from his skin and get up but itwas an impossible task, his pride was hurt as an alpha. He was supposed to behealed-

"Devon..." a familiar voice echoed in the alpha's room and Devon focused hisattention on the small and petite frame of Jason. The omega had a worried lookon his features, dark raven locks messy and lips parted. It looked like hehaven't slept at all, the dark circles under his eyes were telling enough.

"You are awake, " the omega continued and rushed to Devon's bed, sitting on thechair.

"What – happened- " he croaked out weakly, eyes examining Jason's features. Itfelt as if it had been years since he had last seen the omega.

" We managed to get on time there. Your condition was. . . " the omega chokedout, nervously playing with the long sleeves of the dark red hoodie he wore, "very bad, " he finished.

" What? " Devon asked confused, eyebrows furrowing.

"The doctors fought for your life, Devon. The wolfsbane in your system was toomuch, whoever you were beaten really badly. I- was scared that. . .you weregoing to die. " Jason was a total wreck. But why, Devon wondered. The alphadidn't do anything good to deserve the concern, all he did was to buy Jason andlock him up in his house like a damn slave. Yet the alpha realized the pain onhis back, it was from the harsh whips.

"How's Leo? " Devon mumbled lowly, eyes never tearing away from the shifting onthe seat omega before him.

"He is okay, he got out of the hospital a week ago. " that made the alphafrown.

"For how long was I out? "

Jason's eyes widened. Should he tell him? Should he not? Was this the doctor'sjob?

" For three weeks, Devon. " he answered quietly. " It was as if you were in acoma. " he muttered quietly.


It hit the alpha like a shock. His eyes widened, breath hitching in his throat.

"Has any other murder occurred while I was out? " he was afraid to know theanswer.

"Yes. Two more murders, one omega and one alpha. "

The alpha quirked an eyebrow. Jason read his expression and sighed heavily.

"Dammit!" he craved to hit something, or someone...that bitch.

"Please relax..." the omega tried to calmthe man down, yet Devon had none of it.

"It's that fucking bitch, I will find out who she is and I swear tofucking God, I will rip her fuckingthroat and teeth out and give it to the people as a souvenir. "

"You aren't getting better than her then, " the omega muttered flatly, rollinghis eyes. Jason had spent the two weeks in Devon's home, secretly investigatingalongside with Leo but they haven't found any evidence yet.

Before Devon could say something, the door slammed open. Jason could recognize thatscent everywhere. Turning around, his eyes widened at the long legs, the paleskin and fiery red hair.

"Devon Ryder, I believe we need to talk. " Lana, Jason's ex-girlfriendhissed in a sharp tone, she squeezed the doorknob so fucking strong that itbroke in her hold.
