Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn) novel Chapter 150

Chapter 142 

“I said you will not lose your head. Whoever said I will not kill you?” The king replied looking at the now dead body, upset his thoughts were rudely interrupted. 

“Now then, I hope you will not have unfortunate news for me, like this gentleman here, doctor?” The king asked, wiping his bloodied hand on a handkerchief. 

“Your majesty, although the hunter just said the alpha has survived the bullets of wolfsbane, I can 

assure you they truly are as potent as we promised. The captured werewolves proved so. Even the strongest the hunters caught, died after 2 bullets of wolfsbane. 

The only reasonable motive for why she survived is her rank. Perhaps she is closer to the second 

rank. We’ve never tried it on such a powerful werewolf before.” Explained the doctor. As opposed to the hunter from before, he was more composed. He had never lied to this man, and this man still 

needed him as well. 

“I do not doubt that, doctor. Otherwise you would already be accompanying this hunter to the Netherworld. I am more interested in the other research. Time is pressing us, unfortunately.” 

The doctor stiffened a bit at his comment, but still answered coherently the question. 

“In another year or so, the venom should be fully rid of all of its defects.” The doctor said proud, it 

was a two full years earlier than what he had promised. 

“Hmmm… at what percentage is it now?” The king asked tapping his finger’s thinking. 

“It is at 25%, one in four subjects survives.” 

“It’s good enough. By the end of the week, I want 1.000 successful subjects.” 

“But your highness we do not have that many candidates available. We would need at least 3.000. candidates or more. At present, there are only 200 who survived the venom, and awaiting to be 

tested we only have two thousand more. We are still lacking a thousand candidates at least.” The 

doctor explained confused, he did not understand why the man hurried. Not to mention he obtained 

two hundred successful specimens in a year, and the king wanted eight hundred more in just five 

days?! 

The venom was ready, and there was enough of it, but how many were necessary to be sacrificed… 

“You will not lack specimens, doctor. Just start with what you have first. Lucian, gather the materials the doctor needs! Also bring the witch you have left, she should still be of use, even without her

ister.” He commanded one of the two bulky men, who were also in the room. 

Yes, my king. But if I gather that many, I will not be able to do so undetected.” Lucian said, already kneeling to confirm his order. They had moved almost undetected all these years, they had gathered strays mostly. A thousand missing people, would attract anyone’s attention on them, no matter how skillfully they collected them. 

“It does not matter. In fact, it would be better to leave some tracks. We need some hounds on our tracks!” The king dismissed his worries. He had used hunters and rogues until now, to mislead the werewolves, but there was no need to keep on tricking them, this would be the last time he used a 

diversion. 

The presence of the king’s mate, already changed the situation significantly. He would not give Salas time to mark her, and become even more powerful than now. 

As always, confirming the order, the man named Lucian did not wait longer and followed the doctor out of the door, dragging behind him the body of the hunter. It seemed they could finally play to their heart’s content, without fear. They would truly have some fun, the bulky man thought. 

“Cain?” The king asked the other man, who was already waiting kneeled for the command. 

“How long has it been since you last saw your brother? I think it’s about time to pay him a visit, his real self has been sleeping for long enough already.” The king said thoughtfully towards his most trusted aide. They were forced to move up they plans in light of the new information, but there were 

also bright sides to the situation. 

“Indeed it has your highness. For you to permit his return. He will be overjoyed!” Cain bowed even 

more his head, in obedience. His brother had suffered long enough, thirty years had passed since 

they last saw each other, with his brother having his memory intact.
