HIS POISONOUS MEDICINE

CHAPTER FOUR: MAGICAL SHOW

It felt like a dream at first, probably because I was sleeping. I felt the soft and sharp pain on my neck at first then the hand choking me and my eyes flew open.

“Die you b***h, just die and get out of our lives!” The angry voice crept into my blurry vision, I tried to scream but my voice felt like it had melt away and my neck was struggling for breath.

The Lycan king Beta was gaping into my stingy eyes, snarling at me and slicing my neck like I was an animal for s*******r and his eyes was filled with rage and anger as my neck wasn’t giving in like he wanted, I was also perplexed because I had given up on life and had surrendered myself to the brunt of his sharp knife.

“Why is your neck not cutting, are you a witch?” He asked me, taking the knife from my neck to check it again thoroughly, he tested it on his wrist and it sliced into his skin at once, his blood gushing out.

He held his hand and winched out in pain, cursing me for his misfortune.

I took the opportunity at once to scream at the top of my voice, pushing past him to shout out from one of my windows. Beta Martins tried to run out of my inner bedroom but I lunged at him with all my strength and threw myself on top of him.

“You really want to die right? He tried to intimidate me with his voice but the Lycan king chose that moment to run into my bedroom, sighing in relief I rolled off him, he had beaten me up so much I couldn’t stand on my own.

“My king, it’s not like it seems!” Beta Martins stood up from the floor, throwing the knife to my feet abruptly and went back on his knees bowing his head at once, fear and horror obvious in his eye and stance.

“Martins what’s going on here?, how dare you touch my wife? Why are you holding a knife to her neck? He reached me with quick stride to lift me from the floor and knead my neck softly.

“Are you okay? Why did he enter your room?” He asked me softly his eyes still on his Beta and best friend. “He came into my room and started slicing my neck with it, he’s trying to kill me!” I cried out.

Running into his embrace, my body trembling due to the shock, the Lycan king touched my neck and the look he gave me had me worried as well. I was also confused as to why I wasn’t bleeding but he brushed it off quickly and turned to his Beta.

Just then Sylvia, Diana and the elder queen ran into the scene, Sylvia stopped by the door, her eyes flew open with shock and she tried to run back but Diana blocked her part, the two women do not see eye to eye the same as Diana doesn’t like Beta Martins.

Beta Martins doesn’t like me too and he has been giving me the enemy look since my arrival into the mansion but I never believed that his hatred for me could lead him trying to cut my neck open.

“My king it was the queen who forced me to kill your new wife, she ordered me to do it or she would kill me, I think she’s jealous of Lucy” he blurted out to the fuming Lycan king who was already prancing about, his head bowed.

I watched as the Lycan king dead and cold stare fall on his wife who tried to say something to what the Beta just said but she closed her mouth shut when her voice resonated from the Beta Martin's phone, attesting to what he accused her of, she was telling him to make sure to kill me.

“I told you that I suspect something between them Lucy, you can see for yourself” he turned toward me to tell me, relief and joy in his voice.

“You will leave my house and my life right now Sylvia, I showered you with respect and value even though I wasn’t able to love you like you wanted, but you didn’t try to help me get closer to you as well, I guess you don’t want this marriage” he spoke to his wife in a final tone.

She didn’t bother to apologise or beg him, it was over and she knew it, the proof was there and the Lycan king didn't go back on his words, she glared at me with one final Look of hatred mixed with defeat before some of the guards pushed her out of my apartment, not too softly.

The lycan king reached for me and wrapped his arms around me firmly, without talking he was telling everyone not to try any funny thing with me, Beta Martins was eyeing me from the corner of his eye and I felt my agitation and panic increase again.

Something is fishy about the whole situation but I couldn’t put my hands on it yet. I don’t know why he hates me so much but my wolf kept telling me that he also would love to see me dead with Sylvia commanding him or not.

Few days after the unexplainable incident I was sitting in one of the numerous relaxation garden with Diana, we had just finished swimming and we were drinking chilled and sweet wine and discussing about what happened when a body fell from the highest floor to where we were seated at the lowest floor

“It the Lycan king! Help? Who’s there!” One of the workers who saw him first yelled at the top of his voice, we heard the heavy thud and breaking of his office wall glass but we didn’t think it could be the king himself until I saw him with my own eyes, lying lifelessly on the floor, blood oozing out of his head and mouth. His bones were broken in numerous parts!.

“It’s an inside job! The Lycan king is very smart and always at alert, nobody would be able to do this if he knew it was an enemy!” I heard Diana wailing beside me.

But her cries and voice felt far away, I clung to my husband's cold and lifeless body and looked at his broken and battered face, all feeling and sense of reasoning gone from my head, I couldn’t think, let alone cry, I just froze there.

“Someone pushed him… someone wants him dead!” I found my mouth moving but even I didn’t understand what I was saying.
