Darius POVA few days later, the palace had become too calm as all everyone did was work while I kept attending to meetings and dealing with other matter from neighboring wolf packs,Selene and Lilly both seemed to leave the palace in peace as they were both the ones who had kept being stressed, everything was then back to normal, which became too normal,I walked through the palace alone as I looked around with Lily and Selene nowhere to be seen, it was as if they had both decided to give up, which definitely I know might not be entirely be a good thing,I kept on with the movement, when I thought came to my head, it was an old transition, and it was done by our forefather's,A gathering where both all the maid, guards, and others come together to eat and dine with one another having well splendid time,I walked through the palace only to stop and turned facing an old picture of my father old portrait. It brought to mind old tradition that are really extinct,Guard, guard, I called o
Darius POVI was still trying to figure out why Selene suggested that Lily should work with her in planning the upcoming event. The Selene I know would never want to have anything to do with Lily, talk more of involving her in a planning activity thatโs supposed to be done by her alone. I suspected there was something or she was hiding something from me. โWhatโs Selene up to this time?โ I asked myself as I walked back to my room. She was mad at me for not sending Lily away from the palace the last we had an argument and today she wants to work with the same Lily she wants out of the palace. I didnโt want to ask further questions when she made the suggestion because I was trying my best to avoid any argument with her before the event. I just nodded in agreement even though I was skeptical about her reason. As I walked through the hallways, I saw a group of maids gathered whispering amongst themselves. โAlpha Darius asked some guards to make an announcement that there will be an even
Lilyโs POVAs I washed the dishes in the kitchen I made sure to handle the utensils with care. I was reminded of how Selene treated me like a nonliving thing the day I mistakenly broke her precious cup. I tried to explain myself that day but she didnโt bother to listen.Thank the moon goddess that Alpha Darius came to my rescue on time, maybe Iโd have been dead by now. A few minutes later I was done washing and I began to arrange the dishes on the plate rack. I made sure I arranged the plates carefully according to their sizes and shapes. Selene had a special plate rack where she instructed the maids to always separate her plate after washing. She made sure all her special plates and cups are being arranged neatly on her special rack. โSo much for someone who is not sure if she was going to be Alpha Dariusโ future Luna yetโ I thought, as I placed the rack carefully on the kitchen slab.โHi Lily.โ I heard a soft voice from behind. It was Elara, one of the maids, we seem to be pretty
Author's POVLilly including everyone else was shocked with Lucien calling out her name. Everyone turned facing who stood confused and shocked at the same time.The thought of someone who she had never met calling out her name and staring at her like there both were familiar with each other.Darius chuckled and called out to Lucien who smiled and looked away from Lilly, drawing everyone attention back to himself.โWho are you? What do you want?โ, Darius asked with a serious face.Selene eye's had been on Lilly wondering why Alpha Lucien had called out her name, knowing fully well that they both have never seen each other before.Lilly walked up close to Lucien, staring at him without even blinking for once. โHow do you know my name? Who are you?โ.Darius roared loudly with his wolf side, with everyone except Lilly and Lucien to withdrew themselves backwards.โHahaha, why are you already getting worked up when I haven't even started? No come-on Darius, you shouldn't lose your temper eas
Darius POVโYou must be out of your mind, how dare you come into my palace and threaten me to give up as an alpha and offer you my throneโ, I spoke with an angry face.โWhat? Is it so hard?โ, Lucien asked with his eyes wide open.I looked at Lucien with an angry face and walked up close to him, turning into a half wolf with his eyes becoming red, his growl was so fierce and loud that even Lucien took a step back.โDon't you dare threaten me," I stated with a fierce voice.Lucien shifted back again and smiled as he stood facing me. โIt's not a threat but rather a warning and I suggest you control yourselfโโIt wouldn't be good for your people to see you like this and in this form, they might get petrified of youโ.I sighed deeply hearing his words as all he said were true, although the rage in me to tear him apart was growing, my wolf side was about to come out.I turned back facing the wall and calmed myself down.โI'm not going to repeat myself again, if it's war, you want to wage, go
Dariusโ POVโHelp! Someone help!!โ The screaming continued as everyone began to rush towards the direction where the voice was coming from.My heart began to beat faster as the screaming continued. When I saw the person who was screaming breathlessly, I figured she was one of the palace maids.โWhat is the problem? Why are you causing commotion in the middle of a party?โ I asked as I walked closer to her. She bent down a little with her hands placed on her knees as though she was trying to catch her breath. โIโm sorry my lord. Itโs Lily. I donโt know whatโs wrong with her, she just collapsed in the kitchen.โ She said as her voice trembled. โWhatโฆ? She collapsed? What happened to her? Why?โ I questioned her as my heart began to pound loudly. โI have no idea what happened to her, my lord. We were doing the dishes together when she collapsed.โ She replied, her tone laced with fear. I began to look at the maid suspiciously as I wondered how Lily could have just collapsed without any
Seleneโs POVI was glad that my plan worked out when I heard the maid scream out loud. I quickly tried to compose myself so Iโd not look suspicious to anyone. I smiled inwardly when I saw Alpha Darius rushing to the kitchen. I had secretly ordered one of the maids to pour the poison I got from a neighboring pack in Lilyโs drink. The poison will destroy her organs one after the other, and destroy her blood. The seller had told me that even the best healer wonโt be able to cure her. โWhatโs the dose? I mean how much could kill her in no time?โ I asked the seller as he handed me a small bottle containing a black liquid.โHalf of the content will destroy her in no time. You can use half of it and keep the remaining for future purposes.โ He replied with a devilish smile on his face.I had secretly set out of the palace on the day I caught Lily in Dariusโ room to the neighboring pack. I lied to Darius that I was going to visit a friend. I decided that the day of the event would be a great
Darius POV,The thought of what the doctor said filled my head, not being able to get a cure for Lilly, I could see her just laying unconscious unable to say or do anything.I stood staring at her with Selene standing there worried also, the look on her face shows she was worried about Lilly, which wasn't normal. I turned facing the doctor with an unhappy face.โCan't anything be done at all? I'm sure surely that something can work," I asked with a worried tone.Although the doctor had repeatedly said that no nothing can be done and even finding a cure would be very difficult because it's a rare poison, I had hope that she'll be okay.Selene seeing my state, then walked up closer to the doctor with an unhappy face.โCome-on doc, how sure are you that nothing can be done to treat her Poison?โ Selene asked with a calm voice.โIt's just like I have to the alpha ma'am. Currently, nothing can be done, but I do believe that with more time, hopefully a cure can be foundโ, The doctor replied,
Seleneโs POVI stood rooted to the spot when it dawned on me that the healer and the guards returned to the palace safely. My men were nowhere to be found. I had paid the men from Trevorโs Den a huge amount of money to carry out the attack perfectly. โWhat could have happened?โ I thought. I tried my best to keep a straight face as the healer approached the palace. I was shocked to see that the healer was very young. Darius looked so happy as though he had won a jackpot when he saw them. He kept chanting โThank you moon goddess, thank you moon goddess. I quickly entered my room unsure what to do as I pace up and down around the room. I wondered why all my plans kept failing. The men had promised me that they would try all they could to stop the healers from coming to the palace. But they arrived looking unscathed as though there was no obstacle during their journey. I figured that I had to go to the Trevorโs and confirm what happened and why their mission failed. But I didnโt kno
Darius POVThe guards arrived with the healer putting a smile on my face as I stared at them walking closer to me. The look on my face was filled with smile just seeing them.โFinally, Lilly will be fineโ, I thought with a smile on my face as I stared at them.Luke walked up to me with the healer who was not what I had expected, he was a young kid who was very well vast in medicine and could be called a sage doctor given how good his skills were.Claudia brought the healer closer, who with a smile was just staring at me as we both locked eyes together.โYou must be the healer, right?โ I asked curiously.โYes I am, are you surprised? Don't I look like one?โ The healer asked with a light smile on his face,I chuckled at his questioned as it was precisely what I thought, he didn't seem like the doctor considering how he looks and, moreover, who knows what his age is.I looked around with the crowd all cheering for Luke and Claudia that successfully brought the doctor to the palace. Furth
Selene POVI got to my room with an unhappy face after Darius had successfully got me angry, the look on his face shown he was distressed about Lilly, I could clearly see the change in his behaviors.Lilly had been laying unconscious for a week now, although she isn't dead yet. I wish I could just strangle her with my bore hand until she runs exhausted.Darius still hasn't remembered who Lilly is to him, but, he's way of caring for her seems usual, it's like he had remembered and kept it to himself. Lilly is supposed to be dead if not for that use of poison that doesn't seem to be working.โHow could he find such a healer? I can't let things slip from my hand this time!โ I thought and rushed out of the room, headed straight to the kitchen.Furthermore, I arrived in the kitchen only to meet other maids already on duties, the look on their faces as they set their eyes on me shown they weren't pleased with me.Furthermore, I chuckled and walked into the kitchen and began looking around f
Dariusโ POVAs the Lukewarm water poured on my body from the shower washing away the soap I used to scrub my body, my mind flashed back to all the dreams I had before Lily was poisoned. โCould there be something about Lily that Selene is hiding from me?โ I thought. I walked out of the bathroom a few minutes later. I cleaned my body with a clean white towel I placed on the bed before I entered the bathroom. I walked to the closet and grabbed a blue robe with a simple design. My eyes fell on the plate of food on the medium-sized table in my room as I wore the robe. I uncovered the plate and took three spoonfuls of the food and covered it immediately. I needed to go check on Lily whilst I waited for the guards to return with the healer. I walked briskly to Lilyโs room with my robe flowing behind me. Conversations in hushed tones were reduced within the palace walls ever since Selene threatened to punish anyone who mentioned anything about the poison. As I opened the door, I was surpr
Dariusโ POVMy mood had been down ever since the doctor told me that nothing could be done to save Lily. My mood was lifted when Lucas broke the news about the healer who could cure Lily of the poison. It was as though a heavy weight was lifted from my chest.โGet me Claudia and Luke. I need them to escort this guard to the healerโs town.โ I said to Lucas. โWhat about me and Damien?โ He asked, looking at me in confusion. โIโll be needing the two of you around the palace. Luke and Claudia are the ones I can trust after the two of you.โ โI have heard you, my lord.โ Lucas answered as he turned to leave immediately. โAre you sure about what you just said young man?โ I asked the guard again as I looked at him closely. โYes, my lord. Iโm very sure.โ He answered as he bowed his head. Different thoughts ran through my mind as I reminisced over everything that had happened for the past few days. From Alpha Lucien coming to threaten me and Lily battling her life for days.I was still conf
Author's POVThe look on the doctor's face changed as Darius stared at him, He could tell that the doctor didn't bring any good news from his side. โCome-on, doc, tell me, were you able to get the cure?โ, Darius asked with my eyes wide open.Lucas, unable to stay calm after hearing the Darius' words and seeing how worried he was, then tapped the doctor on his shoulder.โWhere you are able to get the cure?โ, Lucas asks curiously,The doctor sighed deeply. โNo I wasn't, finding a cure for her is very hard, who so ever poisoned her surely needs her deadโโIt's a very deadly poison, and she's only alive due to her wolf side, she's a forceful lady, else other's would have died within secondsโ.โWhat the hell are you saying, doctor? How useless can you be, huh? All I asked was for you to find out a cure for her Poison and yet, you came back here empty-handed?โ, Darius asked angrily in a loud voice.The rage in Darius began to come out as he immediately held the doctor by the neck and pushe
