Third person’s point of view.
Ingrid watched with her mouth hanging open as the bodies were being carried away, the battle started before her eyes but she had no guts to show herself, she hide behind a tree and watched everything happened.
She released a startled shriek, when she felt a tap on her shoulder and quickly turned around, her eyes searched frantically but she found no one, then she decided to leave right away.
But she halted abruptly when she heard a deep male voice laughing sinisterly loud, it’s the voice she heard at the wizardry forest few days ago, she placed her hand on her chest as she felt her heart beating and her body shaking in fear because there’s something different about the voice this time -it sounded scarier than the first time she heard it.
“Who.. who.. who are you? I.. I…” she didn’t know what to say or she was too scared to say anything.
The voice laughed again at her frightened expression, which sent bad shivers in her body and she hugged a nearby tree.
“I.. I didn’t do anything wrong, p-please spare my life” she begged.
The laughter stopped after she said these words and there’s a brief moment of silence.
Ingrid shivered when she felt someone running a finger along her right arm, her eyes widened and her eyeballs almost bulged out because she couldn’t see anyone.
Then it felt as if the invisible man hugged her from behind as she felt his breath fanning her neck, he pulled her away from the tree and ran a finger along her cheek.
“P-please, I didn’t do anything wrong, I didn’t….” her words were stuck in her mouth when she felt the invisible man cupped her right breast and squeezed it gently.
“I know you didn’t do anything wrong, but you were becoming impatient that’s why you came here, correct?” the voice asked her.
“No, no, no” she shook her head quickly. “I wasn’t, I wasn’t getting impatient at all, I was just… ”
Her words were stuck in her throat again, but this time she felt the invisible man grabbed her neck and was choking her.
“What were you doing here if you weren’t getting impatient?” the voice whispered in her ear.
He tightened his grip, making her eyes roll to the back of her head as she fight to suck in some air, but she couldn’t.
“I promised to help you take revenge, but you couldn’t wait, right?”
“I’ll.. I’ll… I’ll..” was all she could manage to murmur out.
Ingrid inhaled deeply, and tried to suck in as much air as she could when she felt the invisible has let go of her, she coughed a few times.
“Go back to your clan and wait patiently for me, I’ll come to you when it’s time”
“Yes, yes, yes” agreed quickly and ran off from there.

Renee’s point of view.
It was already 10:35pm when we made it back to the palace, currently, Ara’s been receiving emergency treatments in their room, different doctors kept rushing in and out of the room.
Some of the doctors looked so frightened and scared out of their wits, even their hands were shaking as they administer different medications on her wound, because Wymond wouldn’t stop watching them.
Ara’s situation isn’t looking so good at the moment, her body’s turned pale, her fingernails were black and there were some strange red dots on her face, even her eyes turned red and even her lips were black too -it seems like the poison’s very deadly and it has spread all over her system.
Even though I’m not a doctor and I have no knowledge about medicine, but I could still tell that her condition is very critical and it’s gonna take a miracle to revive her -what kind of poison is this?
One of the doctors reached for a small knife, he lowered himself closer to Ara and reached for her wound, but Wymond suddenly grabbed his hand in a very tight grip as he made attempt to touch the wound.
The other doctors quickly knelt down and bowed their heads as they trembled, they all looked so scared, I mean, who wouldn’t be scared at a moment like this when the queen’s life is on the line?
Even me, I’m scared of what Wymond’s gonna do to me later, after all, he put his mate under my care and gave strict warning not to step out of the palace, but I disobeyed his orders and exposed his mate to danger.
Everyone’s walking on their toes right now.
“What are you trying to do with that knife?!” he growled.
“Your… yo-your…”
“Don’t stutter!” he growled again.
The doctor nodded quickly, but still kept his head bowed, he stayed quiet for a moment and I know he’s trying to gather enough courage.
“We need to cut.. cut.. and fo-force.. poison out” the doctor said in a very scared voice, his whole body was shaking at this point -he looked so scared.
Wymond glared at him for a while, before pushing him towards Ara.
“Then bloody hurry up and stop swaddling!” he snapped.
“Yes, your Majesty” the doctor replied and continued doing his job.
He quickly cut the wound open, leaned down closer to it and was about sucking out the blood when Wymond suddenly grabbed by his shoulder.
“What are you trying to do? Kiss your queen in front of your King?! Do you have a death wish?!”
The doctor’s mouth was moving but he couldn’t say a word, I rushed forward and cautiously tapped Wymond’s shoulder.
“He wanna suck out the bad blood and…” I cut off myself and took a few steps away from him when he glared at me.
“Move!” he growled at the doctor, who quickly jumped away from there.
He squatted to Ara’s level, leaned closer and started sucking out the blood by himself.
He spat out some very black blood on the floor which made my eyes widened in panic, it’s as black as charcoal and leaving such blood in her system means death.
Wymond repeated this action for some minutes, then stopped when he finally sucked out red blood.
“Get me a knife and cup!” he ordered.
A nurse quickly brought it to him, he cut his palm very deep and put his palm on the cup, letting his blood drop in it, but only a very small amount of blood dropped in the cup because his wound healed very fast.
He raised Ara’s head slightly and carefully made her drink the blood, though he held up her head and it flowed down her throat since she’s unconscious.
“My blood would detoxify the poison if there’s any left in her system” he said.
That’s right, Wymond’s blood can detoxify any poison at all, I can’t believe I totally forgot about it.
I should have reminded him of this earlier at the battlefield, then Ara wouldn’t have pass out or remain unconscious till now.
Ara is such a smart girl, she keeps taking my respect for her to another level, she must have calculated that getting her treated if she’s injured would be easier, than getting Wymond treated when he’s injured.
I mean, who would have detoxify Wymond if he was the one poisoned?
He got up and ordered the doctor to continue their medical treatments on her.
“Your Majesty” Edward greeted him with a bow when he entered the room.
There wasn’t any response from Wymond since his attention was wholly on his unconscious mate, but Edward stated his reason for coming anyway.
“I have undo the spell Marshall casted on Drake, your Majesty, they’re both ready for interrogation” he reported.
“Renee, stay here and supervise them” Wymond said as he stormed out with Edward rushing after him.
The doctors released sighs of relief immediately Wymond was out, it’s as if his presence was suffocating them and preventing them from doing their jobs.
Hold on…
Those red dots Ara’s face are gone, her black fingernails have returned to their normal colors and even her lips have also returned to their original color.
Wymond’s blood is awesome, I didn’t know it’s gonna work so fast or could it be because they’re mates? -lol.
I guess she’s gonna wake up tomorrow morning, since Wymond’s blood flowing in her system right now.
