Chapter 115
The only reason why Maximus was still alive was because the warriors around could feel the excruciating pain from the king through the bond, which told them that he was in danger, that was why they immediately rushed in only to see the king was unconscious with a knife was stabbed on his chest.
Meanwhile, Rania was sitting there, staring at the king without saying anything. No, there was no expression on her face at all. She might as well stare at the ocean, instead of her dying mate.
However, little did they know, Rania also felt the agony as the mate bond between them stretched tout, she could feel the same pain like Maximus did.
The only different between them was; she didn’t die, because she was not the one, who was bleeding.
Immediately, the warriors called for Karin to come and check the king’s condition, but the wound in his heart was too deep, and she could only slow down the bleeding.
With that, Maximus was rushed to the hospital. Thankfully, they made it in time, and the shifter doctors could preserve his life.
Therefore, the warriors immediately jumped into a conclusion that Rania was the one, who had stabbed the king, thus that was the report they gave to Declan.
“Where is she?” Declan asked. He rushed to the hospital as soon as he received the news. He made sure Maximus got everything that he needed here, only then he could focus on something else.
“She is in the beach house,” the warrior replied. He looked at the royal beta. The anger in his eyes made him immediately dropped his gaze. It was very terrifying to say the least.
And without saying anything anymore, Declan turned around and left for the beach house, where Rania stayed with Karin.
The healer was trying to talk with her, to know more about what actually happened when she was with the king.
Because now when the critical moment had passed, Karin didn’t think it made sense for Rania to be able to stab the king, especially when she stabbed her from the front, where the king could see her and prevent it from happening.
“My lady, please tell me what happened?” Karin asked, she grabbed Rania’s hands and squeezed them lightly to get her attention, but she didn’t say a word.
Rania stared at the blood stain between her nails, that was Maximus’s blood.
“What happened between you and the king, my lady?” Karin’s voice was gentle, but she couldn’t hide the concern that she felt.
After all, all the warriors had been saying that Rania was the one who stabbed the king, and the report that they gave to the palace would be no different.
However, Karin didn’t think that was the truth. There would be more to the story.

Chapter 115
“ I want him dead,” Rania said in a small voice, her eyes still fixed on the blood stain. “I want him to die p>
“My lady… so, you really tried to kill the king?” Karin was shocked, she felt the heaviness that weighed in her heart. It would be a great crime. The king would have punished her severely for what she had done.
Rania would be executed, especially if royal beta Killian knew about this, and from what Karin learned, he was already in the hospital.
The healer knew the situation in the palace, and the royal beta’s dislike towards Rania. It would be better if it was royal gamma Eiten who came over, but he was currently leading the warrior to attack Black Stone pack and its allies p>
“But, why the king didn’t stop you? He could have stopped you, right p>
This time, Rania lifted her head, for a brief moment there was an emotion that flashed in her dull gaze. She stared at Karin briefly before she turned her head to look at the night sky.
“I am… in pain.” Rania’s lips were trembling. “I want… to die.” It was hard for her to force the words out of her lips. She felt like she was drowning under the ocean. It was getting hard to breath.
“My lady p>
“He made me… stab him.” Rania’s gaze faltered. She remembered his hand that wrapped around hers, as he pushed the knife against his chest.
Was this what happened when you felt the mate bond between you were going to snap.
Rania heard something along the lines of; you could feel something happen with your mate because the mate bond between you two, that was because you were one soul.
“It hurts…” Rania breathed raggedly, she then clutched the front of her shirt, as she breathed heavily. “It hurts p>
Karin immediately got closer to Rania. “Let me see, let me check on you.” Karin furrowed her brows, as she tried to detect something wrong with Rania’s body.
However, aside from her heart that was beating so fast, she couldn’t sense anything wrong. She was fine, technically, but of course, there was an underlying pain that Karin couldn’t help with.
“My lady…” Karin watched Rania curled her body on the bed, as she clutched her chest. Her whole body was trembling, she was breathing raggedly, as tears kept streaming down her face.
Karin wished she could help her to ease the pain, but she couldn’t think of a way to do so.
And when she didn’t know what to do, someone opened the door. Karin was jolted in shock, because that person literally kicked it open.
“Royal beta Declan?” Karin was surprised to see him. She thought he would be with the king all the time, but the fact he was here…
“Leave, Karin.” Declan’s voice was very cold.

Chapter 115
“Royal beta Declan, let me explain something to you. I don’t think lady Rania intended to kill the king. She was… the king drove the knife into his own heart p>
Rania said it herself.
“Did she tell you that p>
“Yes.” Karin replied quickly.
“And you believed that?” It was obvious that Declan didn’t believe it at all.
