Chapter 185
Daran shoved the prescription bottle into his pocket and pulled out his phone.
He searched on the Internet for the medicine.
This medicine was a rare kind.
There were only three pharmacies in the city that had the permit to carry it.
Daran remembered the address of those three pharmacies and left Balvina’s room.
The car that brought them to Blood Moon Pack was still parked in the driveway.
Daran hopped in the car and drove away from the packhouse.
The main streets were still packed with enthusiastic citizens, causing real traffic. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Daran had to navigate through the jammed street and take back alleys and shortcuts
to avoid the crowd.
15 minutes later, he arrived at the first pharmacy.
The pharmacist behind the counter didn’t even look up from his video game when Daran walked in and
simply asked: “Prescription?”
Daran placed the bottle on the counter.
“I will need a list of names of the patients who prescribe this medicine from you,” he said deeply.
The pharmacist let out a snort, his eyes still on the video game, “Pharmacist and patient confidentiality.
Have you ever heard of that?”
Daran opened his wallet and slid a hundred–dollar bill across the counter.
“How about that?” he asked.
The pharmacist paused the game, took a quick glance at the bill, and then looked up at Daran for the
first time.
His eyes widened immediately.
“You!” he gasped in shock, “You are Alpha Daran!”
Daran raised a brow.
He didn’t know that he would get recognized in Blood Moon Pack this easily.
“You helped our princess kill the Rogue King, didn’t you? It is all over the news!”
The pharmacist cried excitedly:
“My wife and children are on the street rally today! Oh my god, I can’t wait to tell them that the mighty
Alpha Daran is in our store-”
Daran tapped his finger on the bill, “Then can you do this little favor for me?”
“Of course, of course! Anything for the Alpha!”
The pharmacist hurried to the computer and printed out a list of names, “Here. The list that you asked.”
Daran went over the list quickly.
But he didn’t see Balvina’s name on it.
“Alpha Daran are you going to get back with our princess?” the pharmacist asked as he studied the list,
“Everyone in the city was talking about it. Now that the war has ended, we all hope that there can be a
wedding sometime soon-”
A faint smile touched upon Daran’s as he said, “Thank you. That is what I am hoping
for as well.”
“Wow, that is awesome! My wife said that it is over between you two. But I know it is.
not! I know you still love her!”
Daran placed the paper back on the counter and smiled, “You tell your wife that I will do whatever I can
to win back the heart of your princess.”
“I will! Fingers crossed for you Alpha Daran!”
The pharmacist cried joyfully behind Daran’s back as he left the pharmacy store.
Daran went on to hit the second store.
Yet still, there was no luck.
Finally, at the last store, the furthest one from the packhouse, Daran found Balvina’s name on the list.
He let out a sigh of relief and said to the store staff, “I got what I need. Thank you.”
The staff, like the pharmacist in the first store, had recognized Daran and asked cautiously, “Alpha
Daran, are you chasing a criminal or anything? Shall I call the police?”
“No. No police. Just check when is her next refill time?”
The staff looked it up on the computer and said, “She should get her medicine refill. today.‘
Daran nodded, “Thank you. And don’t tell anyone that I came.”
“Of course, Alpha Daran, anything that you need.”
Daran left the store and hid behind a billboard, keeping his eyes on the store. entrance, waiting for
Balvina to show up.
After 3 long hours, he finally saw the person he was waiting for appear from around the corner and
headed towards the pharmacy store.
“Balvina!”
Daran cried to her across the street.
Balvina jerked around at once. Her eyes widened with shock.
When she saw Daran, she turned on her heels at once and started dashing down the street!
“Balvina… Wait up!”
Daran knew that she didn’t want anyone to find her.
But running away at the first sight of him?
What was she afraid of?
Daran immediately followed her and ran down the street.
Normally, it shouldn’t be easy for him to catch up with Balvina. But today, the street was filled with
people streaming back from the rally, their voices merging into an animated chatter..
And many of them had recognized Daran.
“Look! It is Alpha Daran!”
“Damn, it is really him! Princess Janet’s mate!”
“Former mate. What is he doing in Blood Moon Pack? Is here to ask Princess Janet to get back with
him?”
The joyful crowd flocked to Daran, blocking his sight of Balvina.
He plunged into the sea of people, weaving through the diverse crowd, and waved off some who tried
to talk to him.
“Excuse me. Pardon…Balvina!”
He shouted again.
He caught a glimpse of Balvina’s red scarf disappearing into an alley.
He pushed his way through the crowd and turned into that alley as well.
Balvina was climbing up the fire escape ladder.
“Balvina, let us talk!” he cried.
She reached the third floor.
Yet the door to the fire escape exit was wrenched open from the inside.
The next second, Balvina was face–to–face with Janet, who had been waiting here for quite some time
already.
“I know you would be here,” Janet said with a raised eyebrow.
Balvina growled, “Fuck. I should have never given you the address of my hideout place.”
“But you did. Because we are friends.”
Daran raised his chin at Balvina, “Here to find her. Same as you do.”
“Enough! Both of you can go back. I have nothing to say to you!” Balvina snapped.
Balvina let out a frustrated sigh and mumbled, “…Fine. Come with me.”
They got into the building through the fire escape exit and were brought into an apartment.
This place was small and dingy and looked half–furnished.
Balvina tossed her scarf on the mattress that she used as a sofa and turned around, crossing her arms.
“So? What do you want to say?”
“Why did you leave Casper?” Janet asked.
