Sacrifice

"She is going to be my luna. I will not allow her to host the poison in her body."

"We need to act fast, Alpha. I understand how you feel, but..."

Aaron auddenly let out a bloodcurling scream as he coughed up blood, blood that seemed clotted and in blocks. I squirmed, moving away. It was so painful for me, so I couldn't even imagine how he was feeling.

"We need to act fast."

Kyran closed his eyes. You could see the conflict. Choosing between his brother and me.

"What are my chances?" I asked, and Kyran opened his eyes to meet mine. His were reddened, probably with the weight of the decision he had to make. This was probably how an Alpha has to be. He has to make decisions which might not be so good for him, as long as it worked for others. He had to sacrifice himself.

"Half. You might live. Or. You might die."
