On Either Side of The Ocean

Chapter 13

SIMON'S POV:

Emily came out of the room about 20 minutes later, her face red. She shut the door behind her and then turned towards us.

She crossed her arms and said,

" So. "

Not knowing what to say, I just raised my eyebrow and said,

" Yes?"

She raised both her eyebrows and said,

" You can start with saying exactly why you don't have suppressants with you. Yesterday, if James had not saved you, you might have been raped,demon prince. Not only that, you all expect alphas to control themselves when you demon Omegas refuse to use suppressants? It is mandatory for Helean alphas to use rut suppressants so that they don't harm a omega when they go to rut. We take every necessary precaution to make sure omegas are not harmed and here you are demon prince, not even taking your suppressants. And in the end it is the alphas and beta's fault isn't it??? "

Julian and Laurier both rose indignantly. Julian opened his mouth to retort but I raised my hand to silence him.

I also wanted to shout back at her and give her a curt reply but something deep inside told me that she was correct, it was partially my fault too. But that gave her no reason to shout at me. I was the crown prince of Louisa, and I got it that she was a high ranking doctor in Helean, but she had no right to scream at the crown prince of a entirely different country. On top of everything, it wasn't like Louisa and Helean were in good terms or something.

Julian looked at me indignantly and said,

" How could you--"

I sent him a stern look. He looked at me and then turned away and sat down. I loved Julian a lot, but this wasn't the time.

I turned towards Emily and said in a calm and cold voice,

" I admit that a part of it was my fault. But that gives you no reason to shout at me, Beta Emily. You must have forgotten, but let me remind you, we never had to use suppressants back in Louisa and therefore we are not used to it. You must remember that our ranks Beta Emily. Even though our countries are not exactly in good terms, I hope you could show us some respect."

Emily looked at me then closed his eyes and sighed. She rubbed her forehead and said,

" Demon Prince, the things I said were the truth. This is not Louisa, neither is this Helean. This is Epiraz. Ranks don't matter here. And one more thing, you need suppressants here. Because here we have omegas AND alphas. Now you said you never ever used suppressants. If you give me a sample of your blood, I could make some suitable suppressants."

I gaped at her. Did she say that she could MAKE suppressants?!

I blinked and gaped at her. She touched her face and said,

" Is there something on my face???"

Julian said,

" You can MAKE SUPPRESSANTS????"

She blinked and said,

" Yes.... why?"

" Because suppressants are crazy complicated "

Laurier said with his eyes wide.

I nodded.

She smiled a little and said,

" I became a junior Healer at this age for a certain reason after all."

Then she waited for us to say something. When we said nothing she said,

" Um...the blood sample???"

I hesitated a little.

Emily noticed my hesitation and sighed wearily and said,

" You very well know that I won't poison or try to kill you?? Or what do you think I would do with the blood sample? Make customised poisons?????"

Julian gave a little giggle.

I was still hesistating. She massaged her forehead and said,

" Here, take the syringe. Test them for poison or whatever and give me your blood sample. When I make the suppressants and give them back to you, test them for poison and other things you want to test about! So?"

I took the syringe. I felt that she wasn't lying. I plunged the syringe in my forearm and pulled the plunger to draw blood. I took the small glass test tube she gave and poured the blood into it. I saw Julian and Laurier doing the same.

I handed Emily the test tube. She brought out a marker and wrote my name in it. She said,

" The suppressants will be ready within two days. It usually takes half a day, but I have take care of that butthead over there"

She pointed towards the bedroom door.

My eyes widened.

2 days.

This girl was something.

People usually take A MONTH to make them.

But she said...she would take only....two days?

I gave her a shaky smile.

She she put the samples in her bag and said,

" Now....let's look at the probelm we have in our hands."
