Belladona Novels & Stories

“They were afraid that we’d take the girl away to be sold. That’s what Orion…Deimos did to their children if he wasn’t pleased with them.” “Where did she even get the Belladonna?” Deacon asks. “You don’t have any in your herb garden?” “Yes, but not that much. I don’t use it a lot.” Belladonna, in minute dosages, has some healing properties. I always expressed my fears about having it on the property, but Deacon grows it in a greenhouse that he keeps locked and he’s the only one with a key. “Check your garden anyway, make sure no one went in there.”

And the color of my skin never hides when I blush so it's always hard. "What's your name?" Now he stood right beside me leaning on the basin and looking down at me. Okay, how the hell was he this tall? I looked like a minor in front of him. This was so unfair. And not to forget his deep baritone voice. It was so smooth just like butter. Ew Arabella really? "Arabella" I replied. He hummed before folding his hands and damn I almost swooned. I accidentally glanced at the tattoo on the back of his left shoulder. It had wings and it between were two initials.

“We’ve found a foreign compound in her blood. We’re still identifying it. Several of the components are associated with deliberate damage to the wolf-human connection.” Jaxson’s attention sharpened. “Poison.” “That’s what we’re investigating.” “How long would it take?” “That depends entirely on the compound and the amount. It could be a single significant exposure. Her results look more consistent with repeated smaller exposures over a period of time.” Repeated. A sound came from the bed. I was beside her before the healer had turned around. Her brow tightened. Her fingers moved against the blanket. Her eyes opened, unfocused, and came round until they found me.

One down, three more to go. Next, I picked up the first vial. It was a dark, almost black liquid with a bitter almond smell. There were around four poisons with the same property: Belladonna, foxglove, corpselily, and Nightshade. All of them were pure poisons, and I found myself a bit turned around. Which one could it be? All the possibilities were poison, but one had to have advantages. Then it clicked. Nightshade was deadly, but in the right conditions with the correct amount, it could be medicinal. Nightshade causes victims to convulse to the point of shock and eventual death. But it was administered to people with paralysis from snake venom to jolt their bodies out of paralysis. It had t

“What is this... Aconite? That’s poison? Tell me.” The man adjusts his glasses, clearing his throat. “Yes, Signore Moretti. Aconitum napellus, more commonly known as monkshood or wolfsbane. It’s one of the most dangerous naturally occurring toxins. Even a small dose can cause nausea, vomiting, weakness and irregular heartbeat. In higher or repeated doses…” He trails off, studying my face carefully. “It causes paralysis of the respiratory system. That is...death.” I stare blankly, my head buzzing. “You’re saying my mother’s been drinking this?”

“Now that we've seen the evidence. I'm sure the council would like to know what this liquid is.” Tony said. They all nodded in unison. “It's belladonna mixed with wolfsbane. A powerful combo that could be used over time to poison someone slowly, and the best part about this evil mixture is that the belladonna masks the wolfsbane effect so it cannot be traced.” The entire room erupted into murmurs. “I hope the council understands how this woman is guilty of killing our beloved Alpha.”

I saw her nostrils flare as she sniffed, Raelynn’s bloody lips. “As l thought she was poisoned but this scent is woodsy”, Zara’s hands began to move over Raelynn’s constrictive dress and roamed along her body. I could see her moving her hands over Raelynn’s stomach most of the times. “She is not the one being affected by the poison , it was aconitum napellus, since she is a human , she is immune”,

As I looked to King Alexander to see him rising from his seat to stop the fight, I put up my hand to stop him, but I can tell he wasn’t happy with me. “How are you feeling boy?” “That was a dirty trick, but I knew it was coming. So, I can tell there is silver, and some wolfbane but there is something else on it as well. So, what is it?” “Hmm, well I believe it is Aconitum napellus. Not only was where they both made in silver, but I had the twins soak them in the wolfbane and Aconitum napellus. I know it’s a little over the top, but you know that I hate to lose even to my own child. So, are you feeling it now, coursing through your blood, weaken your body and soon it will most likely kill you

I picked each of the dresses up one at a time to see which I would prefer, they all looked expensively beautiful, but one particular one caught my eyes. it's a long red sequence dress, with a very high slit the back had a deep V cut and was covered with a nude net. it showed lots of skin and also had a great sense of sophistication attach to it, I decided to go with a black lace face mask on a black heel and gold accessories. I decided to go take a long warm shower to relax my nerves, I let the water drop over my body as I closed my eyes and thought about how fulfilling it would be to finally put an end to the monster's miserable life, I bet he will never see me coming.

“We agreed not to allow another woman from Muzagah to be sacrificed to the gods of the Suramite to pacify them for Habeb’s sins. We believed that the gods will destroy us if we grant the prince his request. Believe me, my son; I cannot wish to achieve wealth by sacrificing sweet Banabella to Moguzule, that merciless god. Never! She is my daughter. Later, we called out the six girls to spot out the genuine one. It was an easy task. The girls gathered themselves shyly and stood before us for scrutiny. Banabella stepped out. At first, she tried prevaricating; but when scolded by the King to speak only the truth, she said things that were similar to what the prince had said. There were no contra
