5 Puppies For The Alpha
Chapter 12

The three wolves looked at him suspiciously.

-His condition is terrible even to treat. From the state of his body he must have been fed twice a year at the most, his skin is full of lacerations and wounds, some badly infested and some very fresh, and not eating it was impossible for him to heal on his own. His wrists and ankles are badly ulcerated almost to the bone as a result of the rust from the shackles which has attacked the surrounding tissue. His senses are so affected that I had to put a special solution over his eyes to try to dilate the pupil so that he can at least gradually regain his sight, for the time being he will be almost blind – each word drained the colour from the wolves’ faces. In their lives they had never heard so much damage in a single being- What worries me most is the hormonal state of this omega- the doctor finished with another bombshell.

Dante’s b***d ran cold.

-What do you mean,” he could barely get a word in edgewise.

As you know, a common she-wolf comes into heat once every 100 years, one with omega three genes at the same time. Haven’t you noticed that all her offspring are close in age, with a maximum difference of 20 years. And we’re talking about 5,” addressed alpha with marked uncertainty.

-It can’t be,” Ryan exclaimed and fell to his knees.

-This omega was drugged to stimulate his oestrus before the period established by nature, that caused a significant wear on his body, without considering that with each birth wolves need 150 years to recover, and in the conditions he was in he managed to produce 5 pups in a row, that he is now with us and that his offspring is healthy, is a miracle,” declared the doctor who couldn’t get over his astonishment and indignation.

Both Dante and Dimitri had to hold on to the first thing that appeared in front of them. Rage consumed their bodies, now they had concrete reasons to send the bastard to hell.

-And I wish it was over,” they couldn’t believe there were more, “I checked him out and I realised that he was pregnant again recently,” he said in dismay.

-Pregnant again? You’ve got to be kidding me,” Ryan clenched his fists so tightly that b***d was pouring out of his palms.

-Now there’s no trace inside the puppy, it must have had an abortion. By not having the required care; let’s say the reproductive system suffered a very big trauma. We’ll have to pray that she doesn’t become sterile, if she survives-not even with all her science could she guarantee the wolf’s life.

The world was destroyed for Dante. He had thought that by rescuing the omega he would gain such gains as finally being able to have his own offspring. Being an omega of pure lineage there was no doubt of its reproductive capacity and now this. On the other hand, she was slowly breaking down, feeling his pain as her own. No one should suffer like that, not even an enemy.

-And what can be done to save him,” he asked resignedly.

-For the moment I did everything in my power. I gave him painkillers for the pain, reconstructors for his regeneration, I treated his wounds, it’s like trying to save a dead man from his wake. He can barely breathe on his own – resignation washed over his intonation.

-Ryan’s voice sounded exasperated, losing his queen for the second time, he didn’t think he could take it.

-There is a method, but I don’t think it’s right for her age, she’s too young and with her condition the chances of her enduring it are below 20%,” he reasoned, filtering a light into the wolves.

What can be so hard for a 200 year old wolf to endure, even with everything that has happened, wild b***d is still strong,” Dimitri was taken aback by the comment.

-200 years?” Ryan sat up as best he could and remembered the many lies that were known about the pack.

-That’s how old he’s supposed to be, isn’t it? No one under 150 can lead a pack,” the twin said cautiously. As for this young wolf, the surprises were not over.

-You’re wrong,” the former beta’s voice sounded broken. Now the three wolves of the Silver Pack looked at him with doubt and interest, “Let’s just say that the situation with our pack has been different from what has been told and the methods applied have not followed protocol – he chose his words with caution.

So how old is he really? Dante gritted his teeth.

-My queen is barely 100 years old,” he blurted out.
