Owned By The Dangerous Biker Alpha Novel – Hard work pays off. That was the biggest lie I was fed my whole life. I have been working hard for years and years. Busting my ass off to ensure that everything works out for my brother. That he gets the education I can’t get, that he can eat the best kinds of food.
That he doesn’t realize how harsh and cruel the world can be. I’ve been doing that for so long that suddenly I feel like I can’t stand on my own two feet anymore. I stared at the piece of paper, my whole world was spinning upside down.
What the hell is this? Every month, I take out some money to bring my brother to a decent hospital so that he can get a check-up. To ensure that he’s fine. I do this so that if there’s any problem, I can tackle it right away. I’ve never gotten a check-up.
And someone how I can’t catch a break. The world had looked at me and told me to go fuck myself. I shudder, my body feels…. I’m shaking as I sit there across from the doctor. My brother was fine last month. But over the past thirty days, something must have changed. He was coughing and falling asleep in class, which he never did before he got sick.
He was waking up with fevers and vomiting. My heart skipped when I heard him throwing up. I prayed it would be a stomach bug, but apparently, I was wrong. I remember when my parents started acting this way. I remember the outcome in the end. Two years after their diagnosis they died. And now that same disease is here for my brother. Just… look at this.
Aether Decay Syndrome (ADS). No origin, no cure. It affects some wolves, it’s apparently genetic but it skipped over me. I’ve got no cousins, no aunts, or uncles, the same disease is taking everyone from me. “I don’t understand. He was fine. He’s only fifteen, he can’t go through this. I can’t lose my brother.” The doctor looked at me with remorse.
“I know how this must feel, Lila.” How could she possibly know what this feels like? My heart is breaking within me. Why? God, why the hell does this always happen to me? No matter how much I work things always end up like this. “I’m sorry, Lila. If… there might be a way to save your brother, but I don’t know. I’ll reach out to some doctors out of Black River, let’s see what they have to say.
Okay?” I nodded because there was nothing else for me to do. I got up and felt my knees buckle. The doctor looked at me with worry. My clothes felt too tight, I haven’t bought myself a new pair of clothes since I started working. I’m not healthy, I eat once a day and it’s whatever I can get at the restaurant where I work. I had to spend my biggest paycheck on a new apartment since the one we used to live in looked awful, and I didn’t want to risk my brother falling ill.
