The Healer’s Fatal Warning Novels & Stories

"No. But here you are anyway. Bleeding on a cot and already one step in the grave. No different from a dog that bit more than it could chew." She leered at me and pulled the healer away from the bed where I was, stopping the healing process. "There's no need to waste the powers of a useful healer like this since you'll be dead by the end of the next trial anyway." Each word landed somewhere in my body that I couldn't reach with my hands. She turned away, pushing the healer outside. The healer was unable to resist. I gnashed my teeth. "Alpha Kael won't approve of this!" She paused at the door.

Because the last thing I needed was Silas watching me unravel too. — The healer’s chambers smelled like herbs, parchment, and rain-soaked wood. He looked up immediately the moment I entered. And frowned. “You shouldn’t be standing.” “I’m standing anyway.” Nora closed the door behind us while the healer studied me carefully. Too carefully. Then his eyes narrowed slightly. “You had another episode.” Not a question. I stiffened. “You knew it would happen again?” “I suspected.” That irritated me instantly. “You could have warned me.” “And what exactly would I have said?” he replied calmly. “‘Good morning, Luna. Your forgotten memories may begin destroying your nervous system soon’?”

The healer didn't stop chanting, she simply lifted one hand without looking away from me. "If you touch her, you'll kill her." She warned and Nathan froze. The words echoed through the chamber as Nathan's breathing became raspy. "But she's coughing blood!" "I know." "She's dying!" "I know." Every answer from the healer was calm while Nathan looked ready to ignore her warning anyway. His foot moved and then stopped. His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. I had never seen him look so helpless, he wanted to help me but he couldn't.

"I'll see what I can do." He obeyed shakily. "Thank you... Ari..." I took the bowl of herbs. Harriet looked on, harbouring great, abject terror. There was one last thing that the man swallowed. They said... that healer Ari would save me. His voice broke. But they said too, others are hunted thee. My ribs clashed with my heart. This was no random arrival. This was a warning.

My voice hardened, leaving no room for argument. The healer’s jaw tightened slightly. “That’s a dangerous balance.” I leaned in, my voice dropping into a deadly whisper. “Then don’t fail,” I said, almost like a warning, and for a moment, neither of us spoke. After some time. “What about Livia?” the healer asked quietly, and I froze. I just for a second, but it was enough for the healer to notice. “She’s the real problem, isn’t she?” he pressed, and I straightened, my expression turning cold again.

“Please be safe.” Then I remembered the pendant I had given her. I had told her it would warn me if she was in serious danger, yet I still couldn't understand what had happened to it. The dead stone against my palm suddenly felt heavier than it had before. “The healer requests an audience, my Alpha,” an omega servant standing outside my chamber said. “Let her in.” The healer entered and immediately dropped to her knees. “My Alpha, I am sorry.” “It's okay,” I said. “We will find her, but it won't be an easy search.” The healer slowly lifted her head, her fingers twisting nervously together.

It was the Head Elder, Harrison. His face was grim and imposing. The aura of a powerful leader instantly calmed the room. He gestured to an assistant behind him. Someone immediately stepped forward, handing him a tablet and a medical file. Harrison spoke with an air of righteous authority, completely overturning everything that had just been established. "The internal surveillance from our advanced healing room can prove that the healer responsible for this medical tragedy was, in fact, Cora." As he finished speaking, an assistant turned on the tablet.

" We should go in now if we are actually going to go in. Unless , maybe the plan is actually to wait for him to come out here." " No. Not at all. I will go in." The healer said. " You ? " Sophia asked. " That can't be." " You don't have to worry about my safety, you see. " The healer replied. " It appears you are forgetting that I am a healer. I have my herbs right here with me. You see this herb right here. " She pointed at a small jar in her bag. " It will make him collapse for a while. When he wakes up, he will likely be alright."

The healer pulled the heavy mattress away from my body and the first thing that flagged my gaze was my flat belly. “My child? Where's my child, what have you done to him?” Tears burned my tear duct. What was happening? The pain was so much that I fainted as Shera got a hold of me. The things that happened afterwards I don't know about. “That’s the question you should be answering. I never thought you could do something as terrible as what you have done for killing your own child. I know you have misunderstandings with the Alpha but to this extent? You need your head examined.” The healer words ripped through my heart. The sharpness from the tone of her voice made me jolt as I let the tears f

“You are not yet Alpha. Sit down.” His growl reverberated through the place, carrying unmistakable threat. I sank back slowly, my muscles coiled with tension. My gaze locked with the healer’s, silently promising retribution should he continue this betrayal. “He murdered his father,” the healer announced, shattering the sacred trust between us with those four simple words. The oath he had sworn to me meant nothing. The promises he had made crumbled to dust. Gasps of shock filled the hall as I looked around at the horrified and disgusted faces.
