Rania woke up because she felt so hot, and when she opened her eyes, she immediately knew what was the problem.


    Maximus’s strong arms wrapped around her body, he almost got her a heat stroke with how hot his body <b>was</b>.


    However, there was something not right. His body was too hot.


    Rania then turned her body around to press her palm against his forehead. His body was burning. He got a fever.


    Unbelievable. Shifter shouldn’t have a fever. They didn’t get sick easily, especially someone like Maximus. He came from the royal bloodline, they even had the faster healing ability among other shifters.


    Rania was confused. She didn’t realize it when Maximus camest night, when hey down, he didn’t touch her too, thus she was not aware of his condition.


    Shaking his body was not enough to wake him up this time, because Maximus didn’t wake up. Beads of sweatyered his forehead. He furrowed his brows, as if he was in pain.


    Rania tried again, but to no avail. Maximus was deep in his sleep, and pain. Therefore, she decided to look for Karin.


    For doing that, Rania had to get away from his arms that weighed her body down. He was very heavy! Even his arm was heavy! Rania grumbled in her head and when she finally escaped him, she panted.


    It was still very early in the morning, and Karin might still be sleeping, but Rania went to look for her anyway. What else she could do?


    It didn’t take long before Rania reached the infirmary and found Karin in one of the rooms. She was still sleeping peacefully, but jolted awake when Rania shook her body.


    “What is it? What happened?” She looked at Rania’s panic expression with confusion. “What happened, mydy? This is still too early,” Karin yawned. “Give me five minutes more.”


    However, Rania pulled her hand when the healer was about to fall asleep again.


    “Okay, okay. I am awake, I am awake.” Karin immediately got out of the bed, she grabbed her jacket, while Rania dragged her out of the room. She looked restless. “Are you hurt, mydy?”


    Rania shook her head, she pulled her towards her bedroom, and when Karin was inside, he saw the king was still sleeping, and this made her nervous.


    “We shouldn’t bother the king when he is sleeping, mydy,” Karin said in a very low voice, because she was scared that she would wake the king up. Who would be able to guarantee he was in a good mood?


    Rania shook her head, she then climbed the bed and pressed her hand against the king’s forehead, and beckoned Karin to do the same thing.


    “Are you sure?” Karin looked horrified, but Rania urged her toe closer.


    E


    Therefore, without no other choice, she came over to check on the king. He was still sleeping, but upon closer look, Karin could tell there was something not right.


    And when the healer touched his forehead, she knew what was the problem. “He is burning” Karin looked at Rania, who was nodding her head vigorously. So, that was where her worry came from.


    The king was sick.


    Rania then got out of the bed to write something down on the paper and gave it to Karin.


    “Hm, sometime shifter can get sick too,” Karin answered the question that Rania had written down. “It depends… normally, the shifter will not get a fever, but there are some cases it happened. This is not out of ordinary, but obviously this is rare for the shifter to be like this, especially someone with a strong bloodline.”


    Karin then told Rania about what she was going to do, but Rania wanted to help.


    “Hm, actually you have learned on how to make this concoction. You can make it, while I will try to subside the king’s fever.”


    Rania nodded and then immediately went back to the infirmary to get all the ingredients that she needed.


    ***


    The battle against the royal should have ended a few weeks ago if it was not because of the massive support from the rebel packs that held back the fortress strongly.


    Eiten had asked for more back up from the pce, and they were on the way there.


    It would take another week before they could get through their defense.


    Another problem that they had to face was the fact that Barlukan Kingdom retaliated, they fought back when they learned there was a civil war within the kingdom.


    It caused them had to diverse the warriors in two ways battles.


    “Royal gamma Eiten.” Keith approached him, he was out of breath, but he immediately reported something important. “We found the secret way in.”


    “Where is it?”<fn5781> Th?s chapter is updated by </fn5781>


    Because of involvement between ire and Caden in the past, she learned a thing or two about the pack’s secret, including the secret entrance.


    However, she was not sure where exactly it was. She only knew the area around it.


    Therefore, they had been looking for the secret passage all this time. This, or they had to wait for the backup, so they could storm into their fortress.


    But, with the finding of the secret passage, it would be easier for them, and sped everything up.


    “Great!” Eiten patted Keith’s shoulder. “You have done a great job.”


    <b>14:43 </b>Wed, <b>Oct </b><b>1 </b>


    “Thanks to my mate.” Keith said, he didn’t want to take the credit from ire.


    “Yes, thanks to your mate. I will tell the king about this. You don’t need to worry. The king will reward both of you beautifully,”


    “Many thanks to you, royal gamma Eiten.”


    Andter that night, Eiten led a hundred chosen warriors toe with him into the secret passageway. They didn’t wait for the backup, who woulde the next afternoon, and decided to go ahead with the attack.


    “Half of us will go to the fortress, and the other will go to the pack house. Kill alpha Winter and Killian.”
