CROSSING THE BORDER novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87

“How is he?” Declan asked Eiten when he approached the royal gamma. The palace was in an uproar, as they were looking for the people that tied them down with the Movement.

Maximus ended up torturing Alaric, and he told him about the Movement. You could imagine what he had to go through for a veteran beta like him to finally speak.

“You better not approach him. I am not sure he is in the right mind to hear your tactless comment.” Eiten glanced at Declan, who glared at him. “What? This is a good advice for you because sometime, you don’t think twice what comes out of your mouth.”

Currently, Maximus were inside Rania’s bedroom, as he turned the place upside down, from what Eiten learned, he found two bottles of poison inside the suitcase that Rania used wen they went to the Bloody Wolf pack.

The new palace healer had confirmed that the two bottles that Rania carried with her was poison.

This fact broke her statement that said she didn’t want to kill him. Why would she bring poison with her if she didn’t want Maximus to die? That didn’t make any sense.

Even though, Eiten pointed out that the two bottles had not yet used, but it could be because Rania had not yet had a chance to use it.

With that, Eiten couldn’t say anything anymore.

“Where are you going?” Declan asked when he saw Eiten walked away. Inside Rania’s bedroom, they still could hear something was breaking. The king was thrashing the place out of rage.

“I am going to the dungeon.”

Declan raised his brows, as if asking; did he lose his mind? “You are aware that Max is mad right now, and you are going to meet with her?” He could guess what Eiten was going to do.

“There is something not right.”

“There are a lot of things that is not right. I have told you all that she is not good news, but both of you ignored me, here we are.”

Eiten narrowed his eyes, he didn’t want to be lectured at time like this, but Declan had a point. If Lula didn’t notice there was something wrong and she was killed for her knowledge, then they wouldn’t know about the movement that tried to dethrone the king.

And if they took longer than this, the poison would show effect on Maximus, and by that time, probably it would be too late for them to do anything.

However, as far as Eiten knew Maximus was still fine. He didn’t show any symptom that he was being poisoned. It was a slow acting poison, but the dosage must be too small for it to show.

Still, Eiten wanted to talk with Rania, so he could gain some clarity.

Chapter 87

“Don’t go, Eiten, if Max knows, we don’t know how he will react to this.” Declan was not sure their voice would reach Maximus at this time, he was too deep in his rage.

Not only that, he even shredded Kean’s body, so the warrior had to pick what remains of her, which was a nauseating sight to see.

Rania was jolted awake when she felt the pain in her lower abdomen, she curled herself on the cold floor, as her mind tried to recall what happened.
