Antigo's pov
"What are you saying, Rose"
I give her a confusing look.
"How?? Who did it?"
Rose made a face at me and said
" We don't know how it happened or who poisoned you. Adam found you unconscious and you were with that new mammal girl.
Don't you remember anything???"
"When I was running deeper into the forest that time Lucifer suddenly starts jumping in my head.
I scold him but he was restless. He felt sick with apprehension. He forcefully took control and I don't remember anything after that "
Rose rolled his eyes again at me
" Than ask your wolf"
"If you rolled your eyes again at me. I will make sure to blind you"
she straightened herself.
" Sorry, alpha."
she said sorry but made a face at me again. why do I have an army of clowns?
" Lucifer"
" Lucifer"
"LUCIFER"
"Shut the f**k up. I heard you when you called me the first time."
" Then why didn't you answer me? "
" Well, I am not in the mood."
" Are you serious, crazy wolf? We are one. You literally live inside me."
" whatever I reject you as my human"
" You can't reject your self mutt."
" I am not talking to you anymore. Stop bothering me, stinky s**t. I don't want to talk to a person who doesn't take care of his mate."
Here we go again.
" Lucifer " I called his name with a stern voice
"Don't Lucifer me."
"Ok. Ok. She is our mate and I am going to care about her, protect her and coax her like a baby.
Now, Are you happy his Highness??"
"hmph. Stupid human."
"stupid wolf "
" I am still smarter than you. if it was not me our mate would have died"
His words raised an alarming feeling inside me.
" Lucifer, Tell me now, what the hell happened when you took control?"
" I will tell you if you promise me you will protect our mate first "
" Ok. I promise"
" No, not like this, swear to the moon goddess "
" This is not the time-
" No, This is the time-
" Lucifer, be mature. if you don't tell me then I won't be able to find the person who attacked our mate. She will be in grave danger."
He starts pacing in my mind. I know this mate card will surely work on him. Woah, I am a genius
" I can hear your thoughts Antigo but what you said was right. I want to find that bloody fucker too."Lucifer barked in anger
" I am gonna rip him into shreds and-
" Lucifer, plan the culprit's murder later. WHAT HAPPENED AFTER YOU TOOK CONTROL??? "
"When we are in the forest I smell a strange scent. it smelt like a burnt corpse."
" Burnt corpse?? Did you saw someone?"
" No, I was worried about our mate So I ran back to our cabin.
As soon as I entered our cabin A chair exploded and I jump in front of our mate to protect her. You know 'We laid on her boobs'" Lucifer chirped happily
" WHAT????"
" Yes, they were so squishy and sof-
" shut up. Lucifer I am shocked about the chair. I don't want to know what you felt. stop your ridiculous babble"
heat crept up to my ears.
" Pervert wolf"
" But they were really-
I block Lucifer out from my mind.
* click*
I hear a clicking sound from my left. I looked around to see rose taking my pictures. uff. I forgot that she is here too.
" Alpha, your ears are so red. I am going to send this pic to our pack group"
" Hey, delete it "
" Oops. sent"
" Well, congratulations. You are going to patrol the borders at night for 3 months."
" No"
" Yes."
I smirked at her. She bought this upon herself. she pouted at me but then her face changed into a serious expression.
" Alpha, were you attacked by that mammal girl?"
" Stop calling her mammal girl. It gives me an uneasy feeling and no, she didn't attack me.
I was hurt when I tried to save her. "
" oh"
"Is she fine??
Did she get hurt too??"
" Alpha, I am not sure. Adam ordered guards to take her into the torture room so I don't know"
" TORTURE ROOM. Why??"
" You were bleeding profusely and she was with you. We all thought she attacked you "
" But you said I was poisoned"
" Yes, alpha. pack doctor Gwen told us that you were poisoned by deadly nightshade.
Deadly nightshade is not lethal for werewolves. it can make us unconscious for some time but can't kill us.
Then why did anyone injected you with this?"
" did Gwen found how I was poisoned"
" yes, but it's strange"
" What is strange?"
" He said that you were poisoned by wood chunks. He removed them from your body but you will feel dizziness for some days."
" Ahhhhh"
" Suddenly I hear an ear-splitting scream"
" It is coming from the torture room."
" I get up hurriedly and remove the IV harshly."
" Alpha, you should take a rest. I will take care of this.
" Get out of my way, rose"
I push her lightly and sprint towards the torture room.
" Ah"
I hear a shrill scream again, but it didn't sound like a woman. It sounded like a man.
I push open the door with force banging the door on the wall in the process.
My eyes become wide when I saw heaven soaked in blood. She was unconscious. Her collarbone was bleeding and there is a claw mark on her neck too, but that was not the only thing that shocked me.
Augustus was lying lifeless on the floor. His face is deathly pale. I bend down and put my hand on his neck to check his pulse.
He is dead.
Did she kill Agustus?
