The Rise Of The Ugly Luna novel Chapter 107

LYRIC

Alpha Jaris.

My chest constricted when I heard the name.

I didn’t exactly know what to feel. But I knew I was damn worried about the fact that he was here.

“What happened to him?” I asked the doctor as we hurried toward the elevator.

“He was stabbed. With a poisoned blade.”

I furrowed my brows. Who on earth stabbed him?

We got into the elevator and waited for it to take us up.

“W–Wasn’t there a doctor around to treat him?” I wasn’t asking because I didn’t particularly want to be with him. I just thought there were plenty of doctors around that could’ve attended to him instead of waiting for me. He was likely in pain.

“We tried to,” Evans shrugged. “He insisted on having you there.”

My heart raced in surprise. What the hell?

I looked at the doctor but didn’t even know what to say to him. He wasn’t the one I should be staring at like that. It was Jaris. Why would he specifically ask for me?

All heads turned to me the moment I opened the door. The doctor wasn’t lying. There were enough of them in here to treat him–his beloved baby mama included. So, why did he ask for me?

I found him on the bed and my eyes quickly searched his body for the stab sound. It was easy to find on his chest. The shirt was soaked with blood.

“Doctor Lyric, hurry up!” Guinevere called.

I gulped hard as I ran to Jaris.

“Wh–What’s wrong?” I didn’t even know who I was asking.

“I need the room,” Jaris said to the others. “I’m about to take off my shirt, and I can’t do that with everyone staring at me.” There was a smug grin on his face. For a moment, I wondered if he was really in pain.

Guinevere nodded at me before exiting the room with two doctors. Marta stayed back.

“I told you there was no need for this, Jaris. I could’ve had your wound checked already.” The hurt in her voice was unmistakable.

When he looked at her, his eyes seemed exhausted. “I know you’ve seen me shirtless, but I think we only need one doctor in the room.”

I watched her hands tighten into fists. She glared at me like I was the one who just asked her to leave. But finally, she .. angrily left.

I was left with two nurses.

“We need to take your shift off,” I said without looking at him as I wore my gloves.

I couldn’t help the iciness in my voice. I might be worried about him right now, but seeing him was still a reminder of what he put me through.

By the time I turned back to him to take off the shirt, I realized he already did.

I swallowed hard at the sight before me.

Not just the blood and deep stab wound. It was… everything.

His chiseled abs were on full display, looking like a full course meal.

It was the first time I was seeing him shirtless in daylight, and it was more than an appetizing sight. The man was handsome in every way. Too bad he was a rude jerk.

I took a wet swab and started cleaning the blood. I was curious to know who stabbed him. But I’d rather cut my tongue than ask Jaris that.

I maintained a serious face as I worked on the wound night nevet was here as his doctor, not the mate he terribly hated.

“I don’t think you’re of any use here,” he said di Successfully unlocked!

I stepped back and furrowed my brows at him. Who did he think he was to dismiss my nurses?.

“I’m-” But before I could complete my statement, they were already going out the door.

Seriously?! How could everyone be so afraid of him?

“You’re no doctor, Alpha Jaris. It is my right to dismiss them or not,” I tried to sound as polite as I could but failed. It was hard to keep my cool around this man anymore.

“You honestly didn’t seem to need them.” He shrugged, so nonchalant.

I angrily grabbed a sterile saline to rinse the wound. “Maybe it’s because the wound isn’t that serious to be here in the first place. There’s a Pack doctor in Darkspire. You could’ve used her.”
