3rd person’s POV
Sia and Ruby caught her before she reached the ground.
The guards there then carried her and rushed her to the clinic.
Sia followed them while Ruby rushed to the Alpha’s chamber to inform Dimitri.
On getting to the door, she rushed in without knocking,
Dimitri and Louis noticed a rush on the stairs so they are expecting a knock on the door and not someone badging in.
Dimitri growled at the sight of the person that badged in,
But on a second thought, relax to hear the information she had come to pass.
He wait for her to speak, but with the look all her face
he knew it’s a bad news but prayed to the Moon goddess it shouldn’t be about Kate.
Ruby was finally able to catch her breath.
The Luna fainted, she blurted out.
Louis and Dimitri stood up immediately and rushed out of his room.
Where is she, he yelled.
She has been taken to the clinic.
At the clinic, the Head Doctor, Doctor Collins is already attending the Kate,
He couldn’t figure out what was going on,
Dimitri rushed into the clinic and head straight to where Kate is being attended to.
What is going on, he lashed out.
please calm down my Alpha the Doctor Collins responded.
He stood with the Doctor and nurses there, as he looked at what they were doing.
After series of tests, the doctor raised his eyebrow as though he remembered something,
What is it, Dimitri asked
Arrest everyone that was with the Luna from last night till present, the Doctor said.
Wh-what why, he asked.
Arrest everyone of them first and then I will explain, the Doctor said.
Immediately Dimitri called for the arrest
Ruby and Sia were arrested.
These were the two maids that came in contact with her since last night till present, and I myself, Dimitri said.
Keep an eye on them, the Doctor said.
Doctor gestured to the nurses to leave remaining Diana, Louis wife and two other nurses.
After the test I carried out, I detected nothing to be wrong with the Luna, the Doctor said.
But the symptoms showing is similar to the one Luna Amelia had shown 3 years ago before she died.
Wh-what did you mean by that, Dimitri demanded.
Alpha I want you to be strong and remain calm, we need to treat this case as urgent as possible, the Doctor said.
So what do we have to do, Dimitri asked.
The Luna only has 3 days, so anything we have to do if we want to be able to revive the Luna, we only have 2 days, Doctor Collins replied.
With this being the case, that means Luna Amelia death wasn’t natural, she had been poisoned, Diana said.
And this same poison had been used on Luna Kate, she added.
That means the person who is responsible for Luna Amelia’s death is still in this pack and also want Luna Kate dead, she concluded.
Dimitri sat down on the bed beside Kate’s bed, he feels weak, he couldn’t phantom what exactly is going on, just as he is solving one issue another issue is arising.
Louis moved closer to him, we won’t loose her, he said comforting him.
So what did we need to do, Louis asked the Doctor.
We need to recognise the poison then we will know where to go from there.
The Elders had received the news, and they all assembled at the clinic,
Sir Gareth came in, and meet the doctor.
What happened is the cause of the sickness, he asked.
The cause is unknown yet elder, Doctor Collins responded.
But the symptoms we noticed is the same symptoms the former Luna showed before her death, he added.
Wh-what, Sir Gareth gasped.
Let me see the symptoms you noted down, he demanded.
Sir Gareth is respected amongst the doctors and they tend to meet him for some treatments since he has been a botanists for over a century hence he knew about most herbs and even the rare ones.
He collected the note from the doctor, and looked through it.
Yes it is the same,
After the death of Luna Amelia, I had took it upon myself to look through the symptoms, and checked with some other botanists but I am almost close to get the kind of poison used, Sir Gareth said.
I’ve been working on it as well, Doctor Collins said.
Same here Diana said and moved closer to them.
Sir Gareth moved closer to Dimitri who is sitting down beside Kate silently,
We will work on this and find a cure to this, he said.
Alright Elder, Dimitri responded.
Who are the people that were in contact with the Luna before the incident, Sir Gareth asked.
The two maids and myself, Dimitri answered.
Where are the maids, Sir Gareth said again.
They have being arrested, Louis said.
Bring them here, we might find a link a be able to get who is using the poison, Sir Gareth said.
The Elders nodded in agreement.
Louis mind-linked Melinda and ordered her to get the Ruby and Sia from the cell.
In the dungeon,
Sia was pacing around,
But who could have poisoned the Luna,
Ruby was sitting on the ground crying,
I don’t know, she replied amidst tears.
Nobody will ever trust us not to have a hand in it, she added.
Calm down tears will not solve this, Sia said.
If we ever want to come out of this and save the Luna as well, we need to think very well and th…, Sia was unable to finish her statement when the door to the cell opened.
Sia and Ruby sprang up immediately, at the sight of Melinda.
The Alpha request for you at the Clinic, she said.
Both of them walked out of the cell and Melinda followed them closely behind.
As they were about to reach the Clinic,
Ruby feels dizzy and held on to Sia for support.
Are you okay, Sia asked.
I don’t know how I am feeling, Ruby replied.
She then remembered she had bumped into Sarah earlier in the morning,
That means she had also came in contact with the poison.
She raised her head to speak to Sia.
But her talk was floppy, Sia couldn’t understand what she is saying,
All she could get was … b*tch.
What are you saying, Sia asked.
But then Ruby fainted in her arms.
Melinda carried Ruby on her shoulder, then grabbed Sia with the other hand.
Don’t worry I will walk by myself, I can’t run away.
Ruby is the only friend I have amongst the servant and I will dare not think of hurting the Luna, Sia said
Melinda looked at her, just know you will be hunt down if you dare to run away.
Walk in my front and increase your pace, Melinda ordered.
What was your friend trying to tell you, she asked.
I don’t know, her words are floppy so I couldn’t understand what she was saying, Sia answered.
As they entered the clinic, everyone including Dimitri widen their eyes in surprise as to why Ruby was being carried in.
The Nurses rushed to collect her and lay her down on the bed.
What happened, Dimitri demanded.
She fainted on our way here, she answered.
And she was trying to say something but her voice was floppy, so we couldn’t understand what she was saying.
The doctor checked on Ruby,
It’s the same symptoms, she also came in contact with the poison.
Sia was busy reminiscing on the last word she was able to grab from what Ruby said “B*tch” where she was standing.
Then she gasped,
How did I forget this, she shouted.
Everyone turned to face her, waiting for her to speak.
Miss Sarah too also came in contact with the Luna this morning.
Ruby had bumped into her on her way out while we were about to enter the cell room, Luna was
Dimitri growled, I will kill that bitch.
But Louis stopped him by gripping his arms.
Arrest Sarah immediately, Dimitri ordered.
He faced Melinda,
Read the servant’s mind to speak if speaks the truth, he ordered without caring whether the pack elders want it or not.
The pack elder’s too didn’t bother to stop the mind reading,
As they also wants to know the truth, especially when this will give them answer to the strange death, that had killed the former Luna.
Melinda took action immediately, then read Sia’s mind.
She speaks the truth, she said.
Who was Luna Amelia’s servant, Sir Lucas asked.
Lynx, Sia answered.
Oh Moon goddess, she died some days after the Luna died.
They had never connected the dots, up until now.
That means she found out about what happened to the Luna.
What have I done, Dimitri said to himself.
I had killed Amelia, he blamed himself.
And now again I am about to kill Kate again with my stupidity.
Drey was panting in anger at the realisation of his first mate being killed,
And right now his second mate is lying down unconscious her fate unknown to everyone.
Did the Luna told me what Sarah had come to do, Dimitri demanded facing Sia.
Yes she said she came to apologize to her, Sia responded.
There is nothing to investigate anymore, Sarah is the one who uses the poison on both Luna’s, Diana said.
How are you so sure, Madam Eli asked.
Before I and Luna Amelia went for a run that day, she had told me how Sarah had showed up in her room,
Seeking for forgiveness on her behaviour towards her, that she will not bother her and the Alpha anymore, Diana said.
But I never gave it a second thought because there were no traces of poison on Luna Amelia’s body.
***
Sarah was in her room, she had received news about Kate’s unconsciousness.
She was overflowed with joy,
She had won again, in 3 days now Kate will be dead.
The cause of death will also be unknown just like Amelia’s death.
Once Kate died, no female wolf will ever want to accept Dimitri as their Mate.
And he will have no choice than to choose me as his Mate or else he would die lonely.
I will make sure I get rid of New Mate he has, Well let Kate die first,
I will also deal with those her stupid maids later,
I must not leave any stone unturned.
She kept soliloquising while filled with excitement.
She hid the remaining poison, in it’s secret place.
I had thought I won’t be using it on this half breed,
But then Dimitri make the wrong choice still yet again,
So I’m sorry little Half Breed, your so called Mate killed you.
She said giving a loud wicked laughter.
She changed her dress and put on another dress.
Then head straight to the pack house.
As she get to the front of the pack house,
She heard some pack members murmuring as they pass,
They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t even noticed she was standing.
” They said Luna Kate was being poisoned, and that poison have been found to be the same thing used on Luna Amelia, so Luna Amelia didn’t die a natural death as we all thought, she was killed and that person is still in the pack.”
She heard them said,
Oh Moon goddess, how did they know it was poison.
What should I do, my plan must work out this time around.
As she was about turning on her heel.
Hello Sarah, a voice greeted her.
She turned to see who it was,
Then she sees Melinda and two other men standing,
a few step away from her,
Hello Melinda she said with a smile as she moved closer to them.
To not make any suspicion move,
Your attention is needed at the clinic, Melinda said.
My Attention, she said as she feigned ignorance.
What is going on, she asked.
You will get to know when you get to the clinic, Melinda replied.
Okay then, let’s go, she said without trying resist, despite what she had heard.
Melinda and the two guards followed closely behind her .
