Claimed by the Mad Lycan King

Zade kicked Zephyr aside because he was in the way and ignored his remark about him being in just a towel.

He didn’t have many clothes here, but he had some in the other room, which was used as Seara’s walk-in closet.

"Get me a first aid kit," Zade said to Ace, who was standing not too far from them. "And get the omega to clean up the room."

The beta then went to get it and handed it over to Zade as he took Seara into the other room.

Meanwhile, Zephyr had gotten up on his feet and looked at the mess inside the room; he was stunned to see what happened.

"What is it? Are they fighting?" Zephyr also saw blood on Zade earlier. "What happened?"

"Couple fight," Ace replied lightly and told Zephyr to get the omega to clean the room.

"This is more than a couple fight!" Zephyr was sure there had been a battle earlier. "Moreover, Zade told you to do that, not me."

"Yeah, and I told you to do it."

Ace was the royal beta, which made his rank slightly higher than Zephyr’s, and the poor royal gamma couldn’t defy the order, the same as the order that came from Zade.

At the same time, inside the walk-in closet, Zade made Seara sit on a chair while he knelt in front of her with the first aid kit.

They had never owned a first aid kit before, as it had never been necessary. If it were a small injury, it would heal in no time, and if it were something serious, they would go to the hospital.

However, when Zade learned that Seara had lost her healing ability and that it would take extra care when she got injured, he bought everything he could think of with the suggestion from Rio. He even bought some medicine just in case she fell ill.

Rio had mentioned that her body was now essentially similar to that of a human’s.

"It will sting a little bit," Zade said before he coated a cotton ball with alcohol and dabbed it on Seara’s cut on the back of her hand.

However, Seara didn’t even flinch; it didn’t hurt her, because she had endured a lot of things much worse than this. She just stared at Zade when he put a yellow strip band-aid on her wound.

"Blood." Seara pointed her finger at Zade’s forehead and neck. The blood had dried, and he had to clean himself up again.

Zade then took her hand and kissed her knuckles. "Let’s get you to change your shirt after that. I have to get a shower."

Seara’s white shirt had a stain of Zade’s blood on it because he hugged her earlier.

Zade had checked, and aside from the cut on the back of her hand, Seara was fine. She must have gotten it when she smashed the flower vase against his head.

"Go out with Zephyr, okay? I will join you for breakfast, and after that we will go to the hospital." Zade stood up. He kissed Seara’s forehead and mind-linked Zephyr to get her, because he didn’t want her to be alone.

"In my opinion, you need to get her into a psychiatric ward," Jane said, as both of them watched Seara with Rio. She was undergoing a routine checkup because her condition was severe when she was first admitted. "You will not know when she will start spiraling, and that will put you in danger."

Jane looked at Zade, who was standing next to her, while Seara and Rio were behind the glass window. Rio was asking Seara to do something and took some of her blood.

"What kind of danger can a woman half my size do to me? She doesn’t even have her wolf."

"What about her? You may not care if she puts you in danger, since you have faced a lot of it in your long life, but what about her putting herself in danger? Can you stop her without hurting her?" Jane then reminded Zade of when he almost broke her wrist because he was holding her back from hurting herself.

"I will think about that."

Zade wouldn’t want to be away from Seara; he would like to keep her within his sight, but what if that were not the right decision?

Meanwhile, inside the room, Seara kept glancing at Zade to make sure he was still there. Though this was not the first time she had met Rio, she was not familiar with him. Moreover, her interaction with Rio was slightly different from the way she conversed with Jane.

"I know you want the best for her." Jane patted Zade’s back, and then both of them entered the room when they saw Rio give them a sign to come, since he was done.

"There is not much I can do for you, Daven," Rexton said. He was the newly appointed alpha for the Blackthorne Pack.

And as a form of respect, he would come to Daven’s small house to bring some things that he might need. He also assigned an omega to take care of him.

"I can’t take Enid back too, and you know that," Rexton said with a sigh.

"There must be something that you can do," Daven insisted when he saw the look of frustration on Rexton’s face. He had tried to help as much as he could, but for Daven, it was not enough. "You are the alpha now! You should find a way to get my sister back! Your sister is in his hands too! Eudora is your twin and my mate! Don’t you care about her?!"

Rexton didn’t have any intention to respond to Daven’s outburst. But he was annoyed because it was not the first time Daven had snapped at him and vented his rage.

"She is my twin; of course, I care. But I am not going to put my life on the line for her mistake."
