Pretty Poison Book Novels & Stories

“What?” “A beautiful poison…” he said and Eloise’s heart dropped to her stomach, “of the finest toxins: cyanide, strychnine and a dash of tetrodotoxin. It's a slow-moving poison, you see. One sip, and it starts its slow dance inside your veins.” “Day one… the symptoms begin. Your stomach twists, your heartbeat stumbles. You will think it’s just stress. Day two, you will feel the weight of death on your bones. Breathing will become a luxury. And by day three…”

she said, a settling smile spread across her lips. The man took the drug from her, his fingers brushing the glass. "This is the final race, isn't it?" he asked. "This isn’t an ordinary drug, Mr. Joseph," she replied, her eyes tracking the movement of the vial. "This is the most dangerous poison a person can have, and it kills instantly without seconds. This is my latest discovery. A poison with no anti-to-cure." She leaned in closer, her voice a conspiratorial hiss. "And once he drinks this poison, his entire body will stop functioning.

I closed my eyes, focusing on the source, tracing it to a jar of honey tucked away in the pantry. The smell was subtle but distinct. My heart raced as recognition dawned. It matched the description of a rare poison I had read about in an old medical book while studying poisons. “This,” I murmured, turning to face Adrian. “There is something in this.” Adrian frowned, taking the jar and sniffing it. “I don’t smell anything.” “You wouldn’t,” I said. “The poison is subtle, almost undetectable. It's called Shadowbane. It’s rare and dangerous. Whoever did this knew exactly what they were doing.”

On the way to the hospital, he kept calling ahead, making sure that they had beds and equipment ready. At the same time, he turned to me. "What did they eat before this?" In my past life, after Andrew and Sally recovered, they had their stomach contents tested. The results showed mercury poisoning. The cause? A takeout meal they had eaten that afternoon. Someone had laced it with poison. At the time, Andrew and Sally assumed that Dylan had ordered it, so they didn't think twice before finishing the entire meal. Even up until my death, we never found out who had placed the order.

" Just as I finished speaking, we heard footsteps. Jessy burst into the room, eyes wide as she saw the mess. She rushed toward Wayne, trying to help him up. "Wayne! Are you okay? Did that vicious woman hurt you?" Wayne swung with all his might, slapping her squarely across the face. Jessy's cheek swelled instantly, and tears streamed down her face. "What was that for?! "They must've poisoned your mind. I knew it—your mom never liked me, she's always wanted to get rid of me. "Wayne, you're the only one who ever cared about me." Wayne stood up and kicked her right in the face.

AUSTIN. It was the call I had been expecting,dreading, craving. The grand apology. The orchestrated symphony of regret. Eleanor’s cold prophecy echoed in my head: "He will come. And it will sound more real than ever before." But now, a new, fiery thought crossed my mind. I could answer his call. I could let his voice wash over me. I could say, "It okay, I have forgiven you.” I could use my forgiveness as weapon to shame Eleanor. The temptation was a sweet, sharp venom. I could become the grenade thrown into the heart of her perfect dynasty.

Aurora asked as she opened each page of the book. "If you were listening, you would know that the doctor said it was Redent Toxin Poison. We need to search for Redent Toxin Poison," Phoenix said. Aurora nodded her head quickly, scrolling through the pages. "Found it!" Aurora said as she flipped through the next page to find the cure. However, the page was blank, empty. Someone had torn the antidote for the poison out of the book. Someone was ahead of them.

They’re comfortable with each other, like how Isla and I are, and I briefly wonder how long they’ve been friends. “This is an older volume with some of the more rare poisons and toxins in it,” Healer Sarina says while laying an old, leatherbound book beside the one I’d just finished. The pages are more worn than the previous book, so as I open it, I try to be more careful.

I quickly got it out and sat on the bed to go through the book. There was a lot to see and read in here and I didn't have the time for that. I just need to find a herb that can help neutralize a poison, especially a poison that causes the veins to change from green to purple. I was in the middle of the book now, still scrolling through the pages, slightly beginning to lose hope as I haven't found anything that has to do with poison or how to neutralize it yet. You have got to be kidding me if I don't find anything useful in this book, that I could use to do something about the poison running through Gordon's veins right now.

Besides, I don’t want to make them jealous! When I was able to move around again, I had to start slowly, much to Austin’s amusement. I made my way to the library and started reading books from the list that my mate gave me. I have gone through two books so far. One was about being a Luna and the other was basic knowledge on packs and the hierarchy. I’m starting a third book right now about our kind and things that are good and bad for us. I find this book the most fascinating because it is talking about mate bonds being strong and knowing if one mate is cheating the other feels betrayal pains. It also talks about the most common poisons like Wolfsbane and how it can be administered.
