HIS POISONOUS MEDICINE

CHAPTER FIVE: TEARS OF LIFE

“We will find whoever did this to him, stop crying Diana, you need to be strong for your mother now!” Uncle Pascal was taking to Diana who ignored him as usual, she’s always acting like he wasn't there with us or talking to her.

I still haven’t figured out why she loathe her uncle so much, the elder queen was a total mess, taking some medication and lying on her own bed right beside her son, she had fainted again this morning when the doctor finally announced that the Lycan king would be in a vegetable state for a long time and he might not get back his health.

“Diana please stop crying like this, your mother is also sick, do you want her to keep thinking?” Beta Martins asked, trying to touch Diana's shoulder to comfort her but she moved away from him quickly, frowning up at him.

“Don’t come near me, you know we have bad blood and we are not friends so dont act nice and cool now!” She spat at him, standing up at once to move toward me. I hugged her to comfort her and she fell into my arms and continued to sob.

“My uncle wants to be the next Alpha king and he can’t stop repeating how sick and useless my brother is now, he can’t hide his joy about what happened to him and he’s here trying to pretend like he cares!” Diana whispered into my ear.

“Diana… I love him, I don't want to escape from him anymore” I cried into her chest as well, we were both weeping and rocking each other, the realisation of what has happened to the strong and unbeatable king hit me harder everyday.

“I don’t want to lose him, please let’s help him” I kept wailing like a baby, I heard uncle pascal chuckle at us, I know he doesn’t give a s**t about the Lycan king and all he want is the throne, as much as I suspect and detest him, there’s nothing I can do to him because I’m powerless.

But my suspicion got fed fully when Uncle Pascal called me that same day to talk to me, he eyed me with distaste and anger and he didn’t try to hide his hatred for me.

“You know already that I don’t like you one single bit, you stole Sylvia spot and it will be better for you if you leave when you can, so you can save your child, the baby in your womb” he added when I opened my mouth in amazement and touched my stomach protectively and unconsciously.

“How did you know I’m with child… I don’t know about it yet? Are you following me?” I whispered, too scared to talk loudly or annoy him, he look like someone that could kill without batting an eyelash and I don’t have anyone to fight for me anymore, my husband is fighting hard for his life and anyone can hurt me right now.

When I told Diana about what Uncle Pascal said to me she hissed and brushed it aside, “I already know about their evil intention and how they want the throne, Beta Martins is a pretender while Uncle Pascal is a greedy old man!” She responded, squeezing her face in irritation.

I instantly became angry when she mentioned that she already knew about her uncle and Beta Martin trying to overthrow and hurt the king secretly but when I asked her for her reasons for keeping mute, she was repentant while explaining better to me.

“You really can’t understand why I’m quiet about knowing their evil intentions but be rest assured that I know what I’m Doing and it’s all for the best.

Later that day, as usual I had gone to his bed side to cry my eyes out and tell him how my day went.

“Your uncle is threatening me to leave you and the Royal mansion, he’s going to kill me if I don’t obey him and kill our child as well, please wake up and save us” I was crying and weeping bitterly.

Like every night I sat there on his bed and held his hand. I was like that for almost two hours, just wailing bitterly. so heartbroken and hopeless when I suddenly feel his hand hold mine to stroke me.

At first I flung out of his bed in fear, thinking it was his ghost, he spoke to me and called my name, telling me to relax as he’s fully awake and healthy, I didn’t want to believe that I was wide awake, I stayed far away from him and squint my eyes to see him properly.

I saw my husband standing firmly with a sweet smile and his arm open for me to Hug him, I squealed for joy and jumped into his arms.

“You saved my life Lucy, with your tears! It fell on my eyes and woke me up… I think you really have a special healing power” he informed me, trying to help me relax by rubbing circles in my back because I was still surprised as to how he woke up.

Forgetting that he’s still weak, I jumped into his arms again and screamed out in excitement but he collided his mouth with my mouth and we shared a long and intense kiss, before telling me not to tell anyone yet, he heard what I was saying about his uncle and asked me for more information and I told him everything at once.

“You mean Diana told you all these about my best friend and uncle?” The Lycan king asked me, I could see him struggling to believe but I also saw the look of revenge and war in his eyes.

“Don’t tell anyone I’m alive, I will find out if this allegations are true or not by myself, don’t tell my mother as well” he added, rubbing my chin and smiling at me, we locked our eyes together and that all it took to communicate how much we miss and love each other.
