“How is he?” Declan asked Eiten when he approached the royal gamma. The palace was in an uproar, as they were looking for the people that tied them down with the Movement.
Maximus ended up torturing Alaric, and he told him about the Movement. You could imagine what he had to go through for a veteran beta like him to finally speak.
“You better not approach him. I am not sure he is in the right mind to hear your tactless comment.” Eiten glanced at Declan, who glared at him. “What? This is a good advice for you because sometime, you don’t think twice what comes out of your mouth p>
Currently, Maximus were inside Rania’s bedroom, as he turned the place upside down, from what Eiten learned, he found two bottles of poison inside the suitcase that Rania used wen they went to the Bloody Wolf pack.
The new palace healer had confirmed that the two bottles that Rania carried with her was poison.
This fact broke her statement that said she didn’t want to kill him. Why would she bring poison with her if she didn’t want Maximus to die? That didn’t make any sense.
Even though, Eiten pointed out that the two bottles had not yet used, but it could be because Rania had not yet had a chance to use it.
With that, Eiten couldn’t say anything anymore.
“Where are you going?” Declan asked when he saw Eiten walked away. Inside Rania’s bedroom, they still could hear something was breaking. The king was thrashing the place out of rage.
“I am going to the dungeon p>
Declan raised his brows, as if asking; did he lose his mind? “You are aware that Max is mad right now, and you are going to meet with her?” He could guess what Eiten was going to do.
“There is something not right p>
“There are a lot of things that is not right. I have told you all that she is not good news, but both of you ignored me, here we are p>
Eiten narrowed his eyes, he didn’t want to be lectured at time like this, but Declan had a point. If Lula didn’t notice there was something wrong and she was killed for her knowledge, then they wouldn’t know about the movement that tried to dethrone the king.
And if they took longer than this, the poison would show effect on Maximus, and by that time, probably it would be too late for them to do anything.
However, as far as Eiten knew Maximus was still fine. He didn’t show any symptom that he was being poisoned. It was a slow acting poison, but the dosage must be too small for it to show.
Still, Eiten wanted to talk with Rania, so he could gain some clarity.

“Don’t go, Eiten, if Max knows, we don’t know how he will react to this.” Declan was not sure their voice would reach Maximus at this time, he was too deep in his rage.
Not only that, he even shredded Kean’s body, so the warrior had to pick what remains of her, which was a nauseating sight to see.
Even the battle hardened warrior still found it very gruesome.
“No, I need to go.” Eiten was adamant, and then he shifted into his beast to head towards the dungeon, so he could speak with Rania.
Rania was jolted awake when she felt the pain in her lower abdomen, she curled herself on the cold floor, as her mind tried to recall what happened.
Her chest was still in so much pain, as if someone just hit her so hard, even though there was no injury there.
And after some time, she remembered what had occurred. Her eyes widened, as she took her surroundings with fear crawled in.
She sat down, but she immediately whimpered, and hugged herself around the stomach, because the sharp pain made her feel dizzy.
She was alone in a place that look like a dungeon. No, this was a dungeon, she had been in one when she was in the Black Stone pack.
Her throat was dry, and her body was shivering. She felt so cold. She didn’t know what to do, but to hug herself, because she didn’t find anything in her cell that could make her warm. There was no blanket, there was no bed, there was nothing.
“In the end, he threw you away p>
Rania was startled when she heard a voice. She whipped her head to her left side, the source of that voice, and found an old man curled on the floor. He was beaten so bad, his healing ability was having a hard time to heal him, but Rania recognized him almost instantly.
“Dad?” Rania’s voice was very hoarse, as if she had not yet used it for a long time.
There was a derisive smile pulled at the corner of his lips. “You still call me that p>
Rania retracted her eyes, and then stared at the darkness. It was very cold, and from the small window outside of her cell, she saw the dark sky. It was night already. It meant, she had been out for at least six hours.
“I heard what happened with you. You should have lied your way, since the king is ready to forgive you p>
Alaric must be too idle to have this conversation with Rania, since he had been avoiding her for the past few years, and treated the conversation with his daughter as a blasphemy.
Rania didn’t comment on that, she kept staring at the night sky. Her mind was elsewhere, mostly to the swing at the backyard. Currently, she was there, feeling the wind against her face, not in this cramp dungeon with

“You don’t know when to tell lie. You used to be good at that. I almost fell for it countless times.” Alaric looked at his daughter with a sad smile. “I wish you have never changed p>
“I never changed, but you did p>
