“Royal beta Den, why don’t we wait until the king is awake and then ask him about what actually happened?” Karin suggested, she was scared for Rania’s life.
“Leave, Karin,” Den said impatiently, he stared into the healer’s eyes, and made sure she understood the situation.
Karin was torn. She nced at Rania, who still curled on the bed, clutching her chest in pain, but she couldn’t go against Den’s order.
“Please, don’t make a rash decision,” Karin said before she left the room. She closed the door behind her with a heavy heart.
And when Karin left, it was only Den with Rania. He approached the bed, and stared at the woman disdainfully.
He didn’t like her before, because she was nothing, but a burden for Maximus. And then she proved herself to be more distasteful by trying to kill Maximus with poison.
Not only that, she was the reason why Maximus put aside his duty as a king to y a happy couple in this beach house.
And to make matter worse, she tried to kill him.
If the warriors werete to discover Maximus’s critical state, they would have hold a funeral by now, and everything happened because of this woman.
The woman, who held no power whatsoever. A rejected mate. A sign of bad luck.
Whether it was a superstitious or not, Rania was a bad luck for Maximus.
“You should have killed yourself instead of trying to kill him.” Den looked down at Rania, who was still struggling to breath on the bed. “You are useless. No one will mourn your death. Stop causing trouble for the king.”
Den stretched out his hand and grabbed Rania by her hair. She closed her eyes, and trembled.
If an hour ago Rania didn’t even feel anything when she saw Maximus’s body dropped to herp with blood all over the floor, now the feelings came forward.
It was overwhelming, like a burst of anguish feeling, like a broken dam.
“I don’t want to do this, but you left me with no other choice.” Killian narrowed his eyes. “You need to be gone, so the king can resume with his duty.”
The pain subsided, and then he felt nothing.

However, in the nothingness, he saw a beautiful white wolf. The wolf looked ethereal, with its fur as white as snow. The creature curled itself on the ck tiles floor.
And when Maximus approached the wolf, it lifted its head, and stared at him with curiosity.
A white wolf…
She looked so beautiful.
However, she looked so weak and upon closer look, Maximus discovered the wolf was wounded. There was a wound around her neck. You wouldn’t be able to see it if you were not close enough.
Yet, when Maximus was about to touch her, the white wolf disappeared, along with the dark room he was in.
Instead, when he opened his eyes again, he was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling. The strong smell of antiseptic and disinfectant hit him hard, which made Maximus scrunched his nose.
He groaned, and then pushed himself into a sitting position. When he looked at his hand, there was a syringe that connected to the IV drips beside his bed.
Maximus frowned. He pulled it away and then stood up, but the sharp pain in his chest forced him to buckle down his legs, and gasp for air.<fn9b10> Fresh chapters posted on Find1Novel</fn9b10>
He groaned, as he remembered what happened.
Rania.
What happened with her? Where was she now?
She would be very disappointed because he didn’t die.
Taking a deep breath, Maximus pushed himself from the floor, and then walked out of the room, where he found two warriors were standing on guard.
“My king?”
The two of them looked surprised. “You should stay in the room, I will call a doctor.”
“Where is Rania?” Maximus didn’t have any reason to stay in the hospital bed any longer. He wanted to know where his mate was. How was she after what happened to him.
“She is…” The two of them looked at each other, they were not sure whether it was right for them to tell the king the truth, but then they didn’t receive any instruction <i>to </i>hide this from the king.
“Speak!” Maximus snapped impatiently.
“She is still in the beach house…” the warrior looked hesitated. “That’s what we heard…”
“What do you mean with that?”

Den poured himself a ss of whiskey to calm his nerves. He tried to convince himself that he had done the right thing.
This was necessary. He did this for Maximus and for this kingdom.
He had made the right choice.
However, why he was not at ease? If this was the right decision, then why he felt agitated, as if he hadmitted a great crime? It didn’t make sense.
He gulped down the whiskey and then poured some more.
“Calm down. Calm down. You only need to exin this to Maximus. He will understand. No, he will despise her when he woke up for her attempt to kill him.”
Den rapped his fingers against the table. He felt his whole body was ill.
He saw the look on Rania’s face when he handed her over to Killian. She looked scared. The look on her face would be forever haunting him.
However, this was the price that Den had to pay.
“It’s okay. It’s okay.” Den rubbed his face, but his eyes widened when Maximus’s scent hit him before he arrived at the dining room. “What are you doing here? You should have stayed in the hospital!”
Den didn’t expect to meet Maximus this fast. He nned to visit the hospital again after he had calmed down a bit. He thought, he still had time to rearrange his thought.
“Where is she?” Maximus asked. He had gone to the bedroom, but Rania was not there. The warriors around didn’t know where she was either, because they were not the warrior that Maximus brought with him.
