Chapter 24Jolene's POV…I wiped the blood on my nose and took a deep breath, I was feeling alright.I sincerely don't understand myself anymore, am I falling sick or what? This would be the second time this would be happening after I became conscious.Is it normal for a Lycan to bleed from the nose, feel lightweight, eye turns and then after three minutes, everything stops and you get yourself back.This is totally strange and I can't keep quiet about it, I need to visit my pack's doctor.I will do that later, it might even be something serious.I stood up with difficulty and went straight to the pack's prison, I will get Paulene released myself. I can't just be at rest if she is locked up because of me, it's not just fair.I got there and approached the warder."Release my sister right now!" I ordered and he gulped.I guess he was contemplating on whom he should obey, my father or me?"I am sorry Alpha but I haven't gotten any order from your father," he replied slowly and I scoff
Chapter 25Author's POV…"So what's that you want to discuss with me?" Harrison asked and Paulene smiled all of a sudden. "You should smile at least, it would make you look more handsome." She said sweetly and tried to touch his cheeks but he held her hands before they came in contact with his face and dropped them down."What important discussion do you want to talk about? I would just leave if he keeps misbehaving," he warned and she sighed. "We can't discuss openly where all the servants and guards are, let's go to my room." She whispered and immediately interlocked their fingers.Harrison disengaged from her hold and stepped back immediately."I should follow you to your room so you would rape me right? I knew you had nothing to talk about, my Alpha needs me so fuck off." He spat and turned to leave.Paulene immediately closed up the space between them and unexpectedly hugged him from behind."What the fuck are you doing? Let go of me!" He quietly warned but she smiled instead.
Chapter 26** Sharp Edges pack, 8:08pm** ** Alpha Maverick's pov **I inhaled as the cool breeze hit me, I was there again standing on the same cliff Jolene jumped from.Since the day my wolf had a whiff of her scent, I had been coming everyday hoping that I would come across Jolene.I had a feeling that she is alive and isn't far from my reach, I crave badly to see her. I just need to earn her forgiveness so I can live peacefully. All these years that passed by, I lived my life with so much guilt and blame.It's been an hour since I came here, it was getting late but I don't feel like leaving.If it was possible for me to stay all night, I would gladly do that but I just can't. I've been coming here alone for the past one week and Collins is beginning to grow suspicious of me.I am sure if he finds out that I have been visiting the place of his sister's death, we are going to have problems. "I wonder if you're doing alright, I just wanted to say I am sorry." I said to the emptine
Chapter 27Author's POV…Tears won't stop flowing out from Jolene' mother's eyes, she was sitting beside Jolene on her bed.Jolene laid unconscious on the bed, her body was cold but she was also sweating at the same time which was so weird.Her breathing was so faint and her mother feared she might lose her.Harrison was standing beside the bed Jolene was laid on, he was in deep thought.He kept on pondering on who could have poisoned Jolene, though she was kind of tough, she was nice to almost everyone in the pack. He sees no reason why anyone should hate on her to the extent of poisoning her with a deadly drug. "Is it one of the servants? Hell no!" He thought and took a deep breath, Strychnine is a rare poison and is hard to find, it's mostly found in the human world. How come Jolene got poisoned with it? Deep down, he is really scared and prays nothing happens to Jolene, not when he hasn't confessed his feelings for her. His wolf keeps on suspecting Paulene but he doubts if
Chapter 28Author's POV…."You must be out of your mind!" Harrison screamed at her, stepping away from her. He can go to any extent to get the antidote for Jolene but not to the extent of sleeping with Paulene.He can't even imagine it, how can have sex with someone he hates so much? It would just be like fucking an animal. "It's not a must you must do that, that's the only way you can save your Jolene." She said in a tone of mockery and suddenly laughed out loudly. She layed on her bed and dropped the cup of coffee on the desk, she raised her transparent nightie and then opened her legs widely. Her neat shaved pussy came into view since she wasn't wearing any underwear."It's your choice now Harrison, in this life, everything comes with a price." She said, smiling mischievously. "You're a devil Paulene, your sister's life is involved here!" Harrison yelled."Stop calling her my sister, she is not my sister!" She snapped and Harrison sighed frustratedly. He ruffled his hair and
Chapter 29Author's POV…Harrison began a thorough search in Paulene's room, he literally turned her room upside down and made sure he searched every single object in her room.He searched her make up box, her wardrobes and so many other stuff in her room. He searched for more than fifteen minutes but saw nothing, he wondered what the poison looked like. To his disappointment, he didn't find the antidote. He sighed and looked at the room and the mess he had created, her clothes and personal things were already scattered on the floor."Where could she have possibly kept it?" He thought about looking around the room.His eyes fell on the toilet door and he rushed into the toilet. He began a thorough search and made sure he searched every nook and cranny of the toilet but he couldn't find anything. "Doesn't she have it?" He thought, closing the toilet door behind him. Jolene has less than thirty hours to live, he doesn't have enough time."What if she doesn't really have the antido
Chapter 30** The next day ** There's still a few hours left for Jolene to live, her body already changed into a blue color and it was swollen already. Jolene's mother couldn't stop crying, her father already ordered her to be sedated since she can't control herself. The Lycans have been thrown into sorrow, they are about to lose a very sweet and kind king. The Lycan kingdom was unusually quiet, no single activity was going on as everyone seemed to be in a sullen mood. Jolene's father already contacted numerous doctors but they were all saying the same thing, some said they can get the antidote but Jolene might die before it would be gotten. The most painful part of it all was that he is going to be watching his daughter die without doing anything.Paulene started her fake tears yesterday to the surprise of everyone including her parents, she was really a good actress as no one would ever believe she was the one who poisoned her sister. Harrison couldn't help but grow more anno
Chapter 31Jolene's POV….As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt like I had just woken up from a long sleep. The way Harrison screamed and hugged me got me wondering the reason why he was so I've joyed."I know you will survive it, thanks for coming back." He hugged me tightly.What does he mean by 'thanks for coming back? Did I go anywhere? I broke the hug and looked at him with a big question mark on my face. I need an explanation from him."What happened?" "You don't remember how you fell unconscious?" He asked and I looked at him with a puzzled look.I thought deeply and tried recalling what happened to me and like boom! I suddenly began recalling everything in a rush.How I was bleeding from my nose, my head was spinning and then everything around me slowly became blurry. After that I fell unconscious, "I do! Yes I do, what happened?" I queried , checking if there was any trace of blood on my nose.I checked myself and noticed I was perfectly fine."You were poisoned," Harriso
