Chapter 42

Eric’s p.o.v

He was trembling. I looked him from head to toe, wondering what was making him be this anxious.

“Speak this instance!” I said, using the Alpha command on him. I rarely ever used it. It never felt good compelling people to do what they didn’t want to do but I had no other option in this situation. I needed him to speak and it was urgent.

“I don’t know sire. I tried to check her everything.” He said falling to the ground and kneeling In front of me like he was pleading for mercy.

“What do you mean, you don’t know?” I asked in a low tone.

“S..ss..si-re” he called, coming to hold the tip of my trousers. “please .. I tried everything. I even tried to use my nose to an out the issue, but nothing. It seems as though nothing is wrong with her” he begged.

“Look at her!” I said sternly. Does she look like someone that is okay?” I felt my nose flared from anger.

“No ssss…ir-“

“You incompetent fool” I kicked him to the side with my feet. The powerful kuvk alone was going to send any human to the after life. For a wolf though it was going to leave a painful mark behind.

“You are just useless! One job! Just one job and you can’t do it.” I said pacing the room. As if in cue, she said another seizure.

With each shake, with each movement my heart leapt with fear that I might loose her.

“You said whatever it was bat you gave her was going to stop the seizure!!!” I said looking at him with clouded eyes. I felt my wolf was about to come out again and wound him greatly for his incompetence.

“ it was, I don’t know how…” I slashed his face with my claws.

“Do something, right this moment” my mind was taken back to all those weeks ago when she had stopped breathing for almost a week.

I shook my head to remove such memories from my mind. He gave her something else and she calmed instantly.

*Alpha, I think…” he looked like he as planning every word he was about to say. It was a good thing that he was conscious of what it was that he wanted to say. “I think the Luna may have been spelled.

“Leave” he must not have been expecting me to say that, because he looked shocked that I said it. He didn’t in anyway attempt to say anything else as he hurriedly ran out with his bloody face that I had managed to scratch.

I looked at my mate. She looked still, completely still. Almost as though she was dead

“Please wake up” I said grabbing her hand as I closed my eyes, willing her to open Hers.

“please, I need you” I said kneeling down besides her.

“Eric!” I sharp voice whispered from beside me. I turned to the direction of the voice,

… Nothing. My guard went up immediately.

“I feel sorry fo anyone that thinks they can come In to the palace and try to scare me. I would tears you Limb form limb.” I said looking around to catch anything sign of a person.

“ericccc” the voice called again, this time in a sing song voice. I tightened my hold on Eloise before I released it softly.

“You have just until I count three before I fetch you out myself and kill you a satisfying and merciless way” I said

“Two…

“You know, you have never been the fun one. I prefer Ian though” a woman with read hair just like my mate said, standing by the corner of the room. Considering that I had checked there with my eyes over and over, I could say that she was not there the last three seconds ago.

“Who are you” I growled. Already forming a defense stance in case she wanted to attack.

“Why do you dogs always want to fight? Didn’t your mummy teach you any manners?” she said the last part like she was talking to a child, which infuriated me the more.

“I won’t ask again. Who. Are. You” I was already feeling irritated.

Many thoughts ran through my head as I looked at this woman in front of me. She shared certain qualities with my mate,I would have thought she was her sister. Only that my mate was the only child.

I made sure to check well and be certain of that fact before I had approached my mate.

“Well Eric, I don’t think we’ll get to the manners part anytime soon, so I’ll just get on with it” she said giving a rude smile.

“my name is Melissa. And I am the first seer to ever exist. Well, my sister’s and I actually, but they are kind of busy right now.” She said giving me an exaggerated bow.

“The seers blood had been poisoned” she said looking straight at me. I felt my blood run cold at the information.

“Poisoned? How? Is there a way to get it out?’ I said. I knew that something bad was done to her, but poison?

“Her blood is absorbing it faster than normal.” She said and turned to look at her before she turned back to face me. “There is only one way to resolve all these.”

She looked back at me. At this time, she had come closer, no longer at the corner where she had first appeared from.

“Turn her” I felt like i had been poured cold water on.

“What? That could kill her if it is not successful. She doesn’t even know, won’t that be against her wish? What if she doesn’t want it? She’ll come to resent me for changing her.

“Hold yourself together alpha. Either way she would die.” She said answering the first part.

“She would die if you do not do any thing to save her. And she MIGHT die if the transition is not successful. One death though seemed more certain than the other. Which one would you take?” she said looking at me with a careless face

I was sweating bullets and she looked at me then went to go and sit on a chair at the far end of the room.

“I’m kind of disappointed,” she said looking around the room. “ for a reader I thought I would see something ….. I don’t know… interesting” she said as her eyes finally settled back on me. “All I see are documents and no novels” I tried as much as possible to not focus on how careless and annoying she was being.

I was making the biggest decision that could change both the life of my mate and I, and all she cared about were books.

“is that your major concern right now? Not the death that could happen?”

She shrugged and got more comfortable where she was sitting.

“I have lived my life. If she dies or not, I get to go to Labynth (after life with the goddess) once I finish my work here. It’s you that would loose a mate” she smirked.

I wanted to cut the smile with a hit across the face.

Another seizure started.

“This is your turn to decide. She would die of this seizure ends” she said, her eyes turning hard. …
