“Royal beta Declan, why don’t we wait until the king is awake and then ask him about what actually happened?” Karin suggested, she was scared for Rania’s life.

“Leave, Karin,” Declan said impatiently, he stared into the healer’s eyes, and made sure she understood the situation.

Karin was torn. She glanced at Rania, who still curled on the bed, clutching her chest in pain, but she couldn’t go against Declan’s order.

“Please, don’t make a rash decision,” Karin said before she left the room. She closed the door behind her with a heavy heart.

And when Karin left, it was only Declan with Rania. He approached the bed, and stared at the woman disdainfully.

He didn’t like her before, because she was nothing, but a burden for Maximus. And then she proved herself to be more distasteful by trying to kill Maximus with poison.

Not only that, she was the reason why Maximus put aside his duty as a king to play a happy couple in this beach house.

And to make matter worse, she tried to kill him.

If the warriors were late to discover Maximus’s critical state, they would have hold a funeral by now, and everything happened because of this woman.

The woman, who held no power whatsoever. A rejected mate. A sign of bad luck.

Whether it was a superstitious or not, Rania was a bad luck for Maximus.

“You should have killed yourself instead of trying to kill him.” Declan looked down at Rania, who was still struggling to breath on the bed. “You are useless. No one will mourn your death. Stop causing trouble for the king.”

Declan stretched out his hand and grabbed Rania by her hair. She closed her eyes, and trembled.

If an hour ago Rania didn’t even feel anything when she saw Maximus’s body dropped to her lap with blood all over the floor, now the feelings came forward.

It was overwhelming, like a burst of anguish feeling, like a broken dam.

“I don’t want to do this, but you left me with no other choice.” Killian narrowed his eyes. “You need to be gone, so the king can resume with his duty.”

The pain subsided, and then he felt nothing.

However, in the nothingness, he saw a beautiful white wolf. The wolf looked ethereal, with its fur as white as snow. The creature curled itself on the black tiles floor.

And when Maximus approached the wolf, it lifted its head, and stared at him with curiosity.

A white wolf…

She looked so beautiful.

However, she looked so weak and upon closer look, Maximus discovered the wolf was wounded. There was a wound around her neck. You wouldn’t be able to see it if you were not close enough.

Yet, when Maximus was about to touch her, the white wolf disappeared, along with the dark room he was in.

Instead, when he opened his eyes again, he was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling. The strong smell of antiseptic and disinfectant hit him hard, which made Maximus scrunched his nose.

“She is…” The two of them looked at each other, they were not sure whether it was right for them to tell the king the truth, but then they didn’t receive any instruction to hide this from the king.
