Mated To Alpha Gregory

Adams’ POV

The hall became silent as all eyes turned to me. Was this what it felt like to be defeated?

I felt disgraced and ashamed of myself, but there was no way I was letting this slide.

Ben had a triumphant look in his face, the same as Bartholomew and Raoul. The witness remained unfazed despite the hard glare I sent towards him, since they were sure to win this case, he felt safe.

Different thoughts moved in circles around my head like an angel’s halo. A look at the faces of all the men before me filled me with distress.

I felt like someone who was cast into a deep well of water, and was sinking to the base of the dark well, before a loud sound brought me back to where I was.

Murmurs filled the hall as I looked at who came in just in time to save me from disgrace. I had high hopes, but it felt as though they were crumpled the moment I saw Lilith.

“What is this Omega doing here?”

“What makes her think she can disturb a council meeting?”

“She deserves to be punished for this.”

Different whispers flew around my ear, but I was too distracted to listen, she looked terrified.

Normally, I should have scolded her for not obeying my orders, but at the moment, her coming meant a lot to me, and I was waiting to hear her voice out her purpose for being there.

I walked towards where she stood, at the entrance of the door and placed my hands on her shoulders. “What is wrong, my love? Why did you come here despite me telling you not to? You know how these people react to things, especially since they don’t li…”

“It’s Ronan, I fear things might have taken a turn for the worst.” Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear, and a defining silence took the hall captive.

His name couldn’t stop ringing in my ears after she said it, and I frowned. “What happened to him?”

“I need you to go with me now!”

“But I can’t. I am in the middle of a serious meeting. Wait for me outside.”

“Would you rather pick a meeting with a bunch of traitors who don’t care if you live or die, or show up for your best friend, who had been with you since the beginning of time?” She stood, clenching her fist on either side of her body. Tears were beginning to fall from her eyes, it made me feel terrible.

My heart beat increased as her words cut deep into my heart, making me feel emotionally broken. Unfortunately, the reverse was the case for the members of the council who heard what she said.

“How dare this woman speak in such a disgraceful manner to us?” A man screamed from the crowd.

“Who does she think she is?” Another screamed after him as they all began to grumble loudly.

“Come with me now Adam, you would want to hear this.” She turned around to go, but I held her hand.

“Wait, I’ll go with you.”

I spun around quickly and spoke to the council members.

“Members of the council, a serious matter which requires my attention has happened, and I need to leave. I hereby adjourn this meeting till tomorrow.”

Signaling to two guards, I pointed to Ben, “take this man to his room and keep him guarded at all times. If, for any reason, I can’t find him when I need him, I will have your head instead.

I looked at two other guards and pointed to the witness. “Take this mind and keep him in custody.”

The man wanted to run, but he was grabbed quickly by the guards. “Let me go, I didn’t do anything wrong, let me go!” He yelled and screamed as everyone watched on.

Suddenly, he stopped. I looked at him and followed the line of his sight. He was staring at Ben, who nodded his head.

They both looked suspicious, but I was too distracted, thinking of Ronan to read any meaning to it.

Amidst the grumbling, I left the room and followed Lilith. Immediately I entered the room, Ronan, sleeping on the bed with his chest on the bed, caught my attention.

The doctor was also there, sitting on the bare floor. His eyes were closed, and his hands were on his head as he rested his back on the wall.

There were also no injuries or bandages on Ronan’s body, and he looked like someone who was not involved in any attack.

“How is this possible?” I asked.

I moved closer to the bed and turned him over. He was breathing fine, but he seemed to be in a deep sleep.

The doctor looked up and stood. He and Lilith kept staring at me as I observed Ronan’s body.

“Can someone tell me what is happening? How did he heal up so quickly? Why was he lying face down when I came into the room? And why are you both standing like you have committed a grievous crime?”

They didn’t reply or move, and it got me annoyed.

“Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?!”

“We don’t know okay,” Lilith said. “I was alone with him in the room, after the doctor had left earlier. I moved closer to him to check the injuries and touched his wound in the process. Suddenly, light began to shine. The bandage burned off and the wound healed. He woke up and…” she stopped.

“And what, Lilith? Stop putting me in suspense.”

“And… he didn’t recognize me.”

I became confused as I thought about all she had just said. How was it possible for her to touch him and, all of a sudden, his wounds healed? Then he woke up and didn’t recognize her.

“What about the doctor? Why is he here?” I demanded.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“I called him when I realized he didn’t recognize me, and he gave him a substance which put him to sleep.”

“I fear he might not remember anyone again,” the doctor chipped in. “Except you make a trip.”
