“How is she?” Maximus waited for Karin to finish with her check up on Rania, He didn’t leave, and simply leaned his back against the wall, and closed his eyes. He had not yet had a good night sleep in the past month.
“She is sleeping now, I put sedative into the medicine that she drank.” Karin didn’t have other choice but to do that because Rania didn’t want to calm down, and the more she was too work up, the more her body tensed up, and it was not good on her condition.
“Why her healing ability is very slow? It’s even slower than human.” Maximus opened his eyes and looked at Karin intensely, which scared the healer, as she lowered her head to avoid meeting his eyes.
“I just figured things out,” Karin said in a small voice. She was trying to keep her voice steady despite her fear towards the king.
“Speak p>
“I found a small amount of poison in her system. That is the cause of her slow healing ability. The poison in her body is the same like the poison that she gave to you, my king p>
Karin’s heart was thumping wildly, because she knew how sensitive this topic was for the king.
“The same poison?” Maximus narrowed his eyes. “Someone had been poisoning her too?” His temper flared, and Karin could feel the suffocating aura that permeated off him.
Even though Karin was not a shifter, and she didn’t share the same bond with the king, but it didn’t matter, since she was trembling anyway.
“No, I don’t think so,” Karin immediately explained. “I think she accidentally got in contact with the poison, it’s like…” Karin tried to find the right analogy. “It almost like she touched the poison, and accidentally touched food with the same hand. The amount is very small, so I can’t say it until recently. This is a slow acting poison after all p>
Karin then looked at the king.
“May king, should I check on you? You have consumed a good amount of the slow acting poison after all p>
“There is no need for that,” Maximus said firmly. He knew his own body. Slow acting poison didn’t work on him. His father had poisoned him a few times and he survived those attempts, therefore, his body had been built with a high poison tolerance.
Now he could see why they tried to add the dosage of the poison he gave him, which led them to their demise, since Lula had discovered the smell of the poison on Kean.
“Lula found out Kean hid the poison because she smelled it, what kind of smell is that?” If the healer could tell through smell, so did the other shifter.
But, because they lacked of knowledge, thus they didn’t think much about it, thinking it was only ordinary scent that they happened to smell.
“The smell is like…” Karin tried to find the similar thing that close to it. “Mint. The basic ingredient for the

poison is mint, so when they added the dosage, automatically, the smell got stronger p>
“Mint?” Maximus narrowed his eyes. He knew where he got that smell from. “Fuck!” He cursed loudly, his anger flared up again, and this time Karin took three steps back, so she would be out of reach from the king.
The healer did that out of instinct. She was scared out of her mind, but she didn’t dare to run away without the permission from the king, just in case she would anger him further.
Karin felt like she wanted to cry. She didn’t know what she had said wrongly to trigger the king’s wrath.
Meanwhile, Maximus tried his hardest to rein in his rage, but he couldn’t help cursing under his breath. He now realized how Rania had given him the poison.
There was time when he tasted that mint in her mouth when he kissed her, but he didn’t think much about it.
But now he knew. It was the poison. She put the poison in her own mouth to give it to him. Of course, she was not stupid enough to think that she wouldn’t get any.
No. She had an intention to die as well.
This was not Rania’s first attempt to kill herself. She had tried before, but she had not yet succeeded.
“Stupid!” Maximus growled angrily. If she wanted to kill her, she had to make sure he died first! Why would she want to die with him anyway?! “Damn it! Stupid p>
How stupid Rania could be to use such method that could harm herself? She should know better about her body. She was weak to begin with, since she didn’t have her wolf spirit, and now she had poisoned herself, which only made her condition worse.
No.
It was Maximus, who had made her condition worse. She had stopped giving him the poison, which meant, she also stopped poisoning herself.
“Fuck you, Rania p>
Yes, she was poisoning herself. She didn’t have any intention to live after she killed him. Stupid.
“My king…” Karin tried to speak, but she immediately shut herself up when Maximus didn’t stop cursing. He cursed Rania, himself, and everything between them.
In the end, Karin watched how the king punch the pillar, which left a huge dent there before he shifted into his beast and then stormed out.
Only then, Karin’s legs buckled, and she breathed greedily. She thought, she was going to die.
Rania woke up, and the first thing that she noticed was Maximus, who was sitting on the edge of her bed. He was staring at her with those beautiful blue eyes, which Rania grew to hate.

“Why did you do that?” Maximus asked. His voice filled with grief. “What did you poison yourself p>
Rania turned her body around and then closed her eyes again, but then she felt his hand on her head, as he caressed her hair.
She despised this. She didn’t want to be touched by him.
