The Alpha’s Breeder - Chapter 116 Painkillers

Although I am taking the offensive, there’s really not much I can do.

Because, if you think about it, wounded human against feral she-wolf never really end well.

“I’m not here to hurt you,” she said with a stern and incredulous expression on her pretty face. “It’s either you trust me or die here when those Hunters find you.”

At her harsh words, my lips pursed into a deep frown.

I knew what she said was true.

In fact, choosing Lia or the Hunters could possibly lead to a terrible death.

But if I try to evade her, she would easily catch me without much trying on her part.

As of this moment, I don’t even think I can run.

My wounds were too severe and my organs might fall out of my abdomen if I make one wrong move.

And if the Hunters manage to find me, there would be no guarantee of survival after that point.

So I decided to make a bet, using my life as gambling money.

I was going to trust her this time.

Because, what other options do I have?

Heaving a deep sigh, I opened the car door and slowly crawled into the passenger seat, wincing ever so lightly at the vicious pain in my abdomen and face.

I really hope that I am making a good decision, a decision that won’t cause me to end up dead in a ditch somewhere.

Lia’s eyes strayed onto my wounded left cheek and lingered there for several seconds longer before she stepped on the gas.

Then, she proceeded to drive maniacally down the dirt road like the devil was on our tail, which is a pretty accurate description of the situation.

“I have some painkillers in the glove compartment,” Lia said without removing her gaze from the road.

Her nose crinkled as the car started to fill up with the metallic scent of my blood.

At her words, I was quick to open the compartment because God knows how much I needed this.

If I don’t get some help soon, I think I might just pass out before Eros can even find me.

And, although a hospital would be a better option, there was nothing to do other than pop a couple of pain pills into my mouth and wait it out.

I’m a pill-popping animal.

Just kidding.

I like to make dry jokes during life and death situations to lighten the mood.

“I don’t have any water,” Lia said after I put the pills in my mouth.

At her words, I pathetically choked and tried to swallow down the pills.

The bitter taste made me gag several times, but I had to power through it and make the best of the situation.

After that grueling task was completed, I turned my head to her and asked, “How far are we from the pack?”

“We’re almost five hours away,” she replied. “We won’t make it there with your condition like that. We’ll have to stop at one of the closer packs and ask for help.”

I nodded my head and asked the next question that I wanted to ask ever since I got into the car, “Why are you helping me?”

If I remember correctly, Lia and I are love rivals.

Why would she help me knowing that everything would be better without me?

I mean, wouldn’t that be the smart thing to do?

She scowled and said, “You’re my Alpha Female. Even if I loved Alpha Eros, I’m not about to go and destroy something as sacred as a mating bond.”

I coughed out in an embarrassed matter and said, “Welleither waythank you.”

The car ride was rather silent after that, neither of us wanting to speak to the other.

There was really nothing that love rivals could talk about without being too fake or bitter.

In the meantime, I tried to keep myself conscious, but it was starting to get harder and harder by the minute.

Although the painkillers have already kicked in, the blood loss was making my head swim with dizziness.

Lia continued to drive past a hundred miles an hour while I gripped the car seat like my life depended on it.
