Chapter 86
Annie placed her cup back on the saucer before she explained, “I’m sure you’ve heard about my past already, especially when it comes to the other Duke.”
The fact that she struggled to say Greg’s name earlier and was avoiding saying his name now didn’t go unnoticed. The fear and discomfort was very much alive and lingering in Annie even after all these years.
Lucianne’s face was unperturbed as she said softly, “I have.”
Annie smiled meekly before she took a deep breath and said, “When I slowly started to believe that Christian really loved me, my fear of the people he works with never really went away. The other Duke was the worst but it wasn’t just him. Some ministers and random people we’d see at govern

Lucianne was surprised that Annie couldn’t detect the scent so she asked, “Don’t you smell it? There’s something pungent, like mercury, salt, granite and something else.”Annie was even more confused, “What? Are you sure, Lucy? I only smell the gas from the exhaust of the cars around here.”Lucianne was sure she wasn’t imagining the scent. She continued sniffing as she instinctively pulled Russell closer to her legs. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a man emerged from behind one of the cars and threw a knife at a low level in Lucianne’s way. Lucianne saw him when the knife left his hand, and she reflexively pushed Russell towards Annie as the blade cut into her left leg. Lucianne screamed in agony as she fell to the ground.

The rumours about the King and Duke’s presence in the hospital spread like wildfire, and gossipers somehow managed to find out that the future Queen was being treated there. Chats were sent. Calls were made. News feeds were updated. Soon, journalists started publishing short articles about whatever little they know from their sources.When Greg saw the news on his notifications bar, his eyes widened in shock. He left his drink at the refreshments table, and left the dining hall in quick paces as he skimmed through the article, trying to find out how Lucianne was hurt. When he got nothing from the list of useless articles except for the name of the hospital where Lucianne was admitted into, he threw his phone on the passenger’s seat of his car in frustration and drove faster than he had ever driven, beating all the traffic lights along the way.

When Lucianne started breathing on her own again three hours later, the doctors removed the air mask and reported the improvements. Her vitals are nearing normal, and she would most likely wake up in the morning. Everyone was relieved. Toby slumped to the ground and looked at the ceiling as he uttered in immense gratitude, “Thank you, Moon Goddess.”Tate and Lovelace managed a relieved smile despite their still-glistening eyes. Juan’s pale face started to regain its color as he linked Hale. Christian and Annie felt like a huge weight was taken off their shoulders, and Annie started explaining to Russell that Lucianne was going to be alright. Raden and Sylvia relaxed visibly, their bodies slumped against the wall from their tensed slouching positions.By far, the most relieved, but the most guilty, was Xandar. The co

At around 3 a.m., Helena Tanner’s phone screen lit up. Being careful to not wake her mate, she shifted slowly to reach her phone on her night stand. Her eyes squinted in the dark as she read the message from a number she was careful not to add into her contact list but knew by heart. She threw her covers and stood, which was when her mate asked groggily, “Where are you going? What happened?”She tried to mask her worry and responded in a flat tone, “Just work. I have to check on something.”“Now?” Her mate asked in disbelief as he checked the illuminated figures on his alarm clock next to him.Helena forced a smile and kissed her mate on his cheek before explaining, “It’s urgent. I’ll come back as soon as it’s

Helena finally understood why she was being tortured. It wasn’t because she went against the Duke’s orders and used poison. It was because the Duke, for some reason, thought that the poison she ordered got into a person he cared about. The Duke had feelings for the woman who was with the King!Greg scoffed, which brought Tanner out of her thoughts. His eyes bore into hers as he said, “And you thought she was an accessory. Goddess, Tanner. You’re a bigger idiot than I thought you were.”“I didn’t kill her. I didn’t. I never sent anyone after her.” She repeated in dismay.“Who did you send Brown to kill? Be specific this time.”“T-The instructions

A quarter to five in the morning, Xandar was resting his head on the bed next to his mate, taking in her scent as he stroked her hand when, suddenly, he heard her soft moan. His body shot up from the chair, and he inched his face closer to hers as he uttered, “Baby. Baby, are you awake? Can you hear me?”Lucianne’s fingers moved slightly in Xandar’s hand, and her eyelids pressed down for a moment before they opened halfway to reveal those dazed black orbs. Her dry lips parted as she muttered, “Xandar.”Xandar’s eyes were tearing up with relief and joy. “Baby. Oh, Goddess. You’re okay. You’re okay.” He kissed her on her lips and she responded, albeit very weakly.When she felt his tears and he pulled away

Lucianne felt Xandar’s panicked grip so she turned her attention away from Russell, who just came with Annie and Christian. Lucianne then stroked Xandar’s cheeks as she cooed, “Xandar, everything is fine. Breathe. Everything is alright.”When his breathing steadied and Lucianne let go of his face, Christian came over to pat Xandar on the shoulder and asked in concern, “You alright, cuz?”“Y-Yeah. Just need to splash some water on my face.” He got up from his chair to peck a kiss on Lucianne’s cheek as he whispered, “I won’t take long. I’ll be right back.”To Lucianne’s surprise, her mate ruffled Russell’s hair with a warm smile before he headed to the bathroom sink to wash away th

Lucianne shook her head again before she said, “No. The last thing I remember was the pain spreading from my left calf. And the smell of the poison.”“Smell?” Dr Karr asked.“Yeah. Being a wolf, I’ve never come into contact with Oleander in any way. I’ve read about them but I’ve never studied their properties. Yesterday was the first time I got its scent. It smells terrible, doesn’t it? What’s it made of anyway? I know there must be mercury, salt and granite. But what’s the last thing I’m missing?”The doctors were lost for words for a moment before Dr Gina managed to say, “Th-Thioacetone, my Queen. It’s a substance powerful enough to induce nausea even in small amounts.”
