The water was still running, so did her tears and blood, but this time, Rania didn’t feel cold anymore. She felt empty. She felt used. She felt numb.


    She stared at the flood of her own blood that rinsed by the water, and she didn’t know what to think anymore.


    She couldn’t even feel the fear.


    Maximus had long gone, once he was done with her, he stormed out of the bathroom, leaving her there<b>, </b>broken.


    Rania didn’t even know how long she was sitting on the cold floor of the bathroom with cold water from the shower drenched her when Kean came inside, and shrieked in fear to see her current condition.


    “Mydy, are you okay?” Kean immediately approached Rania, she knelt down next to her after she turned off the shower. “Come on, get up. You will get sick if you are sitting here.”


    The rest was a blur. It was amazing to see how attentive Kean was when she took care of Rania. She cried when she had to wipe the blood from her body, the bite mark on her breast, and her hip, also on her arms.


    Some of them would leave scar for sure, along with the wound on her neck, but Rania didn’t seem to care about that fact, she kept her eyes on the ceiling.


    “Should I get the healer?” Kean asked, mostly to herself, because she didn’t know what to do.


    She wiped Rania, and went to the walk in closet to see her backpack, and a few clothes inside, she got some that lookedfortable for her, and then put it on her.


    Kean cried when Rania didn’t respond to her. “I will get L here,” she said, she was worried with her wounds. She knew with Rania’s condition. She couldn’t heal like the other shifters.


    “No,”


    “Rania said, her voice was small, and weak. “No…”


    “But…”


    “No.”

    Kean then returned, because she didn’t have a heart to leave Rania like that. She cried to her palms. “I am sorry you have to go through this.”


    Rania stopped listening to what Kean said, but she felt slightly better to hear her cry, because she was too exhausted to cry, so Kean could cry on her behalf too.


    “The poison…” Rania said, her head was a little bit dizzy, and then she remembered she had not yet eaten anything this afternoon.


    “Yes?” Kean lifted her head to look at Rania when she mentioned about the poison. “What about the poison?”


    Kean looked around her, as if she as afraid if there was someone eavesdropped their conversation. It would be


    the end of her.


    “How long it will take effect?”


    Kean frowned. She <b>was </b>thinking about it. “I don’t know for sure<b>, </b>but I have three bottles with me, and I was instructed to give them to you one by one when you have finished the first bottle.”


    Rania then shifted her attention back to Kean. “How long they need time to make a move on the king?”


    “They said, they need a year when that person told me.” Kean looked at Rania with sympathy in her eyes. <b>“</b>I know this is hard. I know that the king is your mate and you will suffer immense pain if he died, but he already hurt you, didn’t he?”


    Kean wanted to say that whether she would feel the pain for the death of her mate, or lived under his abuse, Rania would be in pain either way. So, it would be better if she chose her own pain.


    Rania understood that, she knew what Kean was trying to say to her.


    “I will do it.” Rania looked at Kean, tears streamed down her face. “I will do it.”


    “Thank you. Thank you, mydy. Your role is very critical in this n.” Kean cried again, she covered her <b>face </b>with her palms. “I feel better to know that my family will be avenged.”


    Rania felt bad, because she didn’t do it for a better cause, she did it to save herself, for her own vengeance.


    But, either way, they had the same goal.

    “Are you out of your mind?!” Eiten was furious. It was so rare to see the gamma was this angry, since his nature was very easy going. He was veryid back among the three of them.


    Therefore, to see him angry like this was a huge deal.


    Maximus narrowed his eyes at his royal gamma. He didn’t like the tone that he used, but for some reason, there was this nagging feel, the guilt that gnawed at him after what he had done to Rania.


    He left her there alone, not out of cruelty, but the sight of her made him wanted to w his heart out. He knew how wrong it was, but he didn’t want to admit that. Fuck. He couldn’t admit it.


    “How gross it is for you think that I will get with her?! Do you even know what she said to me?! Why do you think my scent on her?!” Eiten lost it. “I can’t believe how could you use me of such vile things!”


    “Eiten…” Den tried to calm the gamma down. He was also shocked with Eiten’s outburst, because he was not usually like this. He saw him lost his temper when they were in the battlefield, but not once in an


    argument.


    Currently, they were in the front yard. Den came over when he received the information from the warrior that the king, and the gamma were having a heated argument.


    This was something that rarely happened, especially when Eiten was being the one, whoshed out at


    Maximus<b>. </b>

    “I told you that I have something to tell you, didn’t <b>I</b><b>?! </b><b>But </b>you had gone ahead and hurt her even more, and now <b>she </b>will never open up with you!” Eiten scoffed. “You really need to get your head out of your ass! You know nothing about moral!”


    “Mind your words!”


    “You are the one, who should mind your words!” Eiten bit back. “If you thought so low of her for doing that with me, it’s the same as you thought so low about me as well!”


    Eiten narrowed his eyes dangerously. It took a big gut for someone to stare down at the king that way, because you could end up without head, but apparently, Eiten was too angry to care about his head.


    “She refused to talk to me first, but slowly she opened up about what happened in the pack. I tried to figure this out for you! She was too emotional, she couldn’t speak! I touched her, yes! But, not in the way your corrupted mind thinking!”<fn88a3> Checktest chapters at FindN()vel</fn88a3>


    Maximus took a few steps closer, he had this urge to strangle Eiten <i>to </i>death, because of the way he spoke to


    him.


    “Now after what you have done, she will never open up to you! You always chase everyone away! You thought they will hurt you, but you hurt them instead! You never feel sorry for that! Because in your mind, because you are hurt, it’s fine to hurt someone else! You are sick, Max!”


    And that as it. Maximus shifted into his beast.
