Chapter 74Author's POV…Cynthia wouldn't stop ranting even after Jolene had apologized to her and she had driven off. She felt so pissed even though she knew deep down that she was the one who was at fault.She wasn't concentrating when driving and was busy reminiscing on the hot sex she just had with Oliver a few minutes ago. That was why Jolene mistakenly crashed into her car but as we all know that Cynthia is the type that accepts her mistakes. She is currently heading back to the pack house, she was just coming from Oliver's place where she went to spend some good time with him.Maverick has been busy with a lot of things since morning so she had the opportunity to sneak out as usual. She arrived back at the pack and sneaked in as usual without being noticed.** Alpha Damon had been busy with one thing or the other since morning. He was still secretly investigating the case of the nurse that was found dead in her apartment which is Stella. Someone came to report that she a
Chapter 75Jolene's POV…The remaining drive to the healer's residence was silent. After my encounter with Cynthia, my mood changed all of a sudden. I never imagined we would ever cross paths, I wonder where she was coming from all alone by this time of the night. What would have happened if it was Maverick I met, not Cynthia? Probably, I would have beaten him till he lost the memory of ever meeting or crossing paths with me. I chuckled at my silly thought, I can't just wait to get back to sharp edges pack and put all those who thought I would remain weak and wolfless to shame."I think we are here already," Zelda announced and she was right, I can still remember the description of the healer's home.The house looks old and small, even the surroundings were silent as a graveyard. All the lights in the house were switched off, one who thought no one was even living in the house. We got to the entrance of the house and knocked softly on the door. After waiting for a few seconds
Author's POV…"Your father has been living on poison, these are medications that would only worsen the sickness and make him die slowly! Whoever the healer is has intention of killing your father, she used his sickness as an opportunity to finish him off." The old woman revealed and Jolene widened her eyes in shock.Even Zelda was dumbfounded, she couldn't believe what her ears just heard."So what can I do? My father must not die!" Jolene asked nervously and the old healer exhaled."How worse is his health? Tell me the symptoms he has been experiencing," She asked and Jolene gulped before answering."He has been unconscious for a month, he hasn't moved or blinked his lashes, he just lays on the bed like a log of wood. His skin color turned whitish and there's dark spots all over his body. Is there any hope that he might survive it?" Jolene asked as she held her breath nervously."Hmm, there's a slim chance of survival only if he regularly takes the medication I am about to prescribe
Chapter 77** The next morning **Jolene's POV…I walked into my father's chambers and met Frana,the healer who has been treating my father with the wrong medications.I already asked Zelda to replace the old medications with the new ones I got from the old healer.She was holding and studying the new medications, I am sure she must have noticed that it's totally different from the poison she has been giving to my father. It took a lot of self control for me not to pounce and tear her into pieces, I just had to remain calm and play along so I would get the answers I wanted. "Can you excuse the both of us mother for just a few minutes?" I requested and my mother agreed without hesitation.She left the room quietly, closing the door behind her, leaving only I and Frana behind."Good morning my king," she greeted with a bow and I smirked."What are you doing with that drug?" I asked, "Oh, I was just studying it, it looks different from the drugs I have given to him." She muttered stil
Chapter 78Jolene's POV…"Just shut your mouth you pretentious murderer, why do you want to kill our father?" I finally let the cat out of the bag as my eyes become watery and she froze.I had seen Paulene meet with Frana secretly multiple times, I was suspicious of both of them and wondered what they were discussing secretly. After finding out last night that the drugs that my father had been taking contained poison extract, she was the first suspect that came to my mind.I cussed myself a number of times for suspecting my sister, deep down, I never knew she had the intention of killing my father.I haven't confirmed but my instincts keep telling me that Paulene was the one who gave orders to Frana to poison my father. If she had the mind to attempt taking my life, then what stops her from committing the same crime again? I really hope I am wrong, I just hope! "What the heck are you talking about? How dare you accuse me of such? Do you think at all? How can I even have the intent
Chapter 79** At night **Author's POV…"What! How can I do something like that?" Harrison exclaimed and Jolene sighed.She knows it won't be easy for her to convince Harrison to do the job. Jolene wanted to use Harrison to make Paulene spit out the truth, they were all aware that Paulene was head over heels for Harrison. "It's not a big deal Harrison, you know that you're Paulene's weakness, just make her tell you the truth. I know you can do this, please" Jolene pleaded and Harrison sighed.He had promised himself that he won't have anything to do with Paulene, how can he do that when he even hates getting close to her. This is just going to be hard for him."What if it doesn't work out? If Paulene is truly guilty of the crime, I am sure she would never tell me the truth even if I am the one. If Paulene is determined to keep the truth, she would never say it out, she is even ready to die with the truth. We all know that Paulene is very stubborn, " Harrison said and Jolene smirked
Chapter 80Author's POV…Harrison walked slowly to Paulene's room, his mind was preoccupied with the shocking confession Jolene made.He couldn't get his mind off it, her words kept ringing in his head.Jolene actually considered him as her mate but because of Zelda, she changed her mind. He couldn't help but get mad with Zelda, if only she had shut her mouth and not made it obvious to Jolene that she had feelings for him, Jolene would have accepted his feelings for her. He was still in deep thoughts when he walked past Paulene's room without knowing.He passed three more rooms before he came back to his senses and realized he had walked past Paulene's room, he retraced steps immediately.He got to the door of her room and stood there contemplating on how he should act towards her if she opens the door.He just had to make this successful. If he gets the answers Jolene wants, she would be so happy with him and that will even propel him to ask for a second chance.But before that, he
Chapter 81Author's POV…"Fine! Yes I did it, I asked the healer to switch the drugs into poisonous ones, in return, I promised her material things." Paulene confessed shamelessly, Harrison was shocked to the core but he had to hide his shocked expression."Why did you do it?" Harrison suddenly asked and she smirked."Why did I do it? It's because I felt he deserved it for being partial." Paulene replied without any sign of remorse and Harrison balled his fist."You're the only person that knows about this and I told you because I trust you and I believe you are not going to betray me since we are together. Please kindly keep this secret to yourself," Paulene pleaded as she stared affectionately at him."Sure, I don't blame you much because anyone in your shoes would have done the same. Jolene is the only one who gets the glory all the time and she is the most loved one. Your father put Jolene first before you and even cherishes her the most." An evil smile crept to Paulene's lips, s
