Chapter 36 – The Healing Crystal
ZANIYAH’S POV
“You say what?” I asked her. I couldn’t believe my ear. Did it really happen? Finally that woman is leaving?
I walked towards Emely and shook her “you are not playing with my feelings right? What you said is true?”
Emely pushed my arms “of course I am saying the truth. What do you think? I will joke about such things?” She frowned.
I laughed “you don’t know how happy I am Emely. Finally that woman will be out of the pack. Once this plan is successful, she will also be out of John’s life. Don’t you think it’s great?”
“Don’t get your hopes up at this moment. They are trying to save her”
I frowned. “Why can’t they just let her die? It will be great for everyone. I don’t understand what John sees in her? That slut doesn’t even look good. Is it because she was too experienced in bed?”
“What the hell are you talking about? Of course she is his mate and he will feel the mate pull” Emely rolled her eyes, I heart Dr. Turner was called to check on her and she was taken in the Alpha’s room”
“What? Alpha’s room?” I felt my frustrations rising to no end. “What has happened to all of them? I thought Alpha didn’t like that slut. But unfortunately that bitch got along with Luna so well” I clenched my fist, “I just can’t believe it. This is too much”
“Don’t worry” Emely smiled, “the poison is not ordinary one and I made sure of it”
“You know Turner is regarded as a miracle doctor. Do you think when Alpha asked him Turner wouldn’t save that bitch?” I frowned.
“That’s what I am saying” she smiled, “you don’t have to worry, this time no one can save her”
“What kind of poison have you given her?” I wanted to get assurance and comfort.
“It’s yew, which there’s no antidote for it” my eyes widened.
“You have given her yew?” I looked at her in shock. Though I expected her to use some mean trickery but was not expecting her to use yew. Oh my god, it was a deadly poison.
“What do you want then?” Emely glared at me, “you wanted her to get out of this place. But looking at beta John’s current attitude it was impossible for her to leave. So I had to use another way. Once she dies everything will be over and you will be free from all bounds. You don’t have to worry about her anymore” she walked towards me and patted my shoulder “John will be yours after this” she said then walked out of the room.
I stood there looking at her back. Her words are tempting. I have always wanted John but he never gave me a single chance. Then he brought his mate, that slut who ruined everything in my life. What Emely did was not wrong. Once that bitch is dead, John will be finally free from her charm and I could get my chance. I smiled as I thought of John hugging me, kissing me.
JOHN’S POV
“John?” I heard mom’s voice. I looked at the door and saw mom and dad rushing towards us.
“How did this happen?” Mom asked and looked at the bed. She gasped, “oh dear…. such a poor girl” she walked towards my mate. “Her skin has already turned pale and her lips are blue” she said and turned back to me, “explain it now”
“It was after she ate a poisonous congee,” I said.
“Yes, after taking a few bites of the congee Reese got poisoned” Adriana added. “It was so sudden that we couldn’t even process things. Doctor Turner said Reese was fed with Yew poison and there’s no cure at all” she sobbed.
Mom gasped, “no cure? How could this happen? It’s impossible”
“Luckily Turner had given her shots which will keep her safe for a few hours. And we still couldn’t find a way to save her. There’s no medicine to cure the poison mom” I felt hope slipping from my body. I shook my head.
“John, don’t worry” mom looked worried as she walked to me “she is a strong girl. Moon Goddess wouldn’t be that harsh on you nor on her. You have to keep your faith”
“I don’t know mom. My wolf is in pain. I couldn’t find a way to save. I can’t lose her mom, not again”
Mom hugged me, “you won’t dear, don’t worry” she patted my back.
“There’s no way to save her?” I heard Cassius ask.
“If this kind of poison doesn’t have any antidote, then it will be hard to save. But it’s not impossible” dad replied, making us look at him. He stayed with the late Alpha Zachariah and worked for him. He knows about many things that we don’t.
“Dad, is there any way?” I asked.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
He looked at me, “we are different from humans, son. If she were a normal human girl then she would’ve died as soon as she ate the poison” dad walked towards bed. He looked at her place figure closely “but her breathing is slow yet normal which means her wolf is strong which keeps her alive. She is fighting with her power to keep the human form stable. Since this is the case, there’s not a chance for her to die”
“But the poison is still in her master beta,” Turner said. “If the poison is not out, she couldn’t regain her normal self”
Dad turned towards Cassius, “I guess this time, we need to use the green box”
“Green box?” Cassius and I looked at each other. “How will it help in this situation?” Cassius asked. I was also confused as I looked at dad.
Dad’s expression was firm, “Cassius you may not know this but the green box not only holds the Silver Shine’s generation history yet great secrets. Why do you think the enemies are after it? Do you think it’s a simple matter?”
Cassius shook his head, “what I knew was it was our duty to protect it. Dad said the green box is our priority and responsibilities. We have to protect it with all our might no matter what. And that’s what we are doing all the time”
Dad nodded, “I have never doubted your abilities or strength. You are way better ruler than your father. I know, Alpha Zach will feel proud of you wherever he is” he smiled, “he has you to take care of the pack. But do you know what’s in that box?”
“Yes, it’s Carnelian,” Cassius replied.
Dad nodded, “but do you know why it is precious? In the ancient generation of wolves the fighters used to wear Carnelian for fortitude and to gain the ability to overcome their foes. But it was not the only reason, the colors of Carnelian have significance of their own. The orange Carnelian represents female energy while the brown one is known as the dynamic male energy. But the type of Carnelian we have is more important. Because the Reddish – brown signifies the healing ability. This is also the reason why enemies are trying to snatch it”
“Healing?” Adriana gasped, “does that mean it can be used on Reese? Will this help her?”
I looked at Adriana then to dad. Is this possible? Can Carnelian cure her poison?
“Dad, is it possible?” I asked him.
“If this works then, there’s no problem,” Cassius nodded.
“It should work on her because her wolf is still fighting. But I couldn’t give any guarantee, what I can say is, we can only give it a try” dad said. But there is still hope. I couldn’t give up on this matter even if the chance is 1% I am on it.
“Then let’s try then” Cassius said, “I will bring the box” he walked out of the room.
“I hope this works,” Adriana prayed, closing her eyes.
Cassius was back in less than 5 minutes. He was holding the green box and handed it to dad. Dad opened the box and pulled out the beautiful shining reddish-brown crystal. He went towards the bed and placed the crystal on her body below the navel where the sacral chakra was located, the center of spiritual energy. Dad moved back and we all looked at her.
Nothing happened.
“Is it working on her?” Adriana asked.
“There’s no response,” Turner said.
“Maybe it’s taking time. But I guess it will work, definitely” dad added.
I looked at her while she lay on the bed like before. My heart was beating fast and I clenched my fist. You can’t leave me, you said you will not leave me. You promised me. You can’t do this to me again. Please baby come back. I said in my mind and felt Kael, my wolf groaned in pain. It was so hard for us to survive that two years of hell.
“Please” I whispered as I pleaded.
Suddenly the crystal started to glow. The glowing radiant covered her body. I heard Adriana gasping behind. My eyes were glued on my mate as the glow started to dim then finally disappeared. The pale skin started to regain its original color and her blue lips turned into pink shade. Her breathing increased into normal range again. Dad removed the crystal and placed it back in the box.
Turner didn’t waste time before quickly doing a check. He nodded and turned to look at us. “It’s a miracle. It really works. The poison in her body is taken by the crystal” he smiled, “she is fine now and sleeping. She will wake up soon”
I felt a huge burden just lift off my chest. Finally,
