Chapter 91
skrkkErika's POV#kRRk
"A masked person?" Jace asked and | gave a nod.
"But how did they get in here?"
"Through the window." Paula replied, gesturing to the opened window. Jace frowned and turned to look at me.
"Didn't you appoint guards to guard me?" He asked and | sighed.
"Of course | did, but according to the doctor, something was injected into the air
and that brought about you falling asleep quickly. The guards too." | explained and the frown on Jace's face
disappeared slightly.
"They even had to cafter me?" He asked through clenched teeth and my eyes lit up.
"Tell us Jace, who are they?" | asked him and his gaze shot to mine.
Before he could say a word, | saw Jace suddenly begin to convulse.
My blood ran cold as fear captured my entire being.
"Jace!" Kat yelled and held him before he fell over.
Paula again ran out of the room to call the doctor. | and Kat rushed over to his side to hold onto him.
"Jace stay with me, Jace stay withand don't close your eyes!" | yelled as Kat kept fanning him with her right
hand.
Jace's eyes turned blood red as his body shook uncontrollably.
The door was bursted open and the doctor walked in with snurses.

Kat and | stepped aside as they began their checks on him. Kat's tears wouldn't stop falling as she watched them
try to stabilize Jace's convulsing figure.
| closed my mouth with my hands, trying to hold back the tears and the wail that was threatening to burst out.
If anything ever happened to Jace, | would be done for. Jace was my family, especially now that our father was
still in coma.
What would happen toif Jace ended up dying?
"Alpha, Ladies, please step out for a while." A nurse walked up to us and said. We
nodded and slowly left the room, my gaze never leaving Jace's figure.
Jace better not think of dying and leaving all these forto handle.
We sat in the hallways, waiting for a reply from the doctor.
It took a while, but soon the door was pushed open and the doctor walked out.
"Doc, what's wrong with him?" | asked as | went to stand before him.
The doctor sighed as he looked into my eyes.
"Alpha, please stay calm. Jace unfortunately was poisoned by that figure just now." He said.
| frowned at his words, the masked person poisoned Jace?
But how did that masked person even poison him when we saw him still about to perform the act?
"Doctor what are you saying? We stopped that person before he or she could do that." | said to him and he shook
his head as if to say | was wrong.
"I'm afraid you cafter the poison had been injected into his drip bag. He was precisely poisoned with the
sdemon orchid that was used on Alpha Jerome." The doctor said pitifully and cast his gaze downwards.
| starggard as the words registered
into
my mind. Jace was also
poisoned with the sdemon
orchid just when he was about to tell us the truth of what happened to
him?
| felt arms aroundand | turned to see Paula and Kat holdingstill.
"Alpha, the good news is that the poison was just a little amount of it and we would perform a surgery to get rid
of it soon. Please pick a date."
"Are you fucking with me?!" | yelled and the doctor shook his head. "I'm sorry, Alpha."
"Get that poison out of him now!" | yelled and | watched him bow before walking back into the room.
A deep growl left my lips as | ran a hand through my hair in anger. "Rika calm down."
"Don't tellto calm down, Paula How are we ever going to know what happened?" | asked her as the tear |
was trying so hard to bold back cfalling from my eyes.
"By continuing the interrogation on Melisse. That bitch has to know the truth and I'm tired of her lies" Kat said
from the side and we turned to look at her darkened expression.
"You think Melisse knows the answer?" Paula asked and Kat nodded.
"She knows something, | can feel it." When Kat felt something, then it means it would be true.
We all left the hospital and back to the packhouse.
Melisse was brought into the interrogation room where we all stood waiting for her.
The moment she saw us three, she began to whimper in fear as she sat before
us.
"Hello, Melisse." Paula greeted, flashing her a smile and waving a hand. She could actually kill someone while
smiling.
Melisse shuddered in fear as she saw the smile.
"Alpha, what do you want?" She asked in a small voice.
| didn't beat around the bush as a whip was brought forward again, this tthere weren't any traces of a smile
on my face.
"Melisse, my brother was poisoned and if you still have any humanity left in you, tellwho these people are
and their motive." | began and | saw her gulp.
"Alpha, like | said before, I'm sorry | can't tell you who they are, they'll kill me." Melisse repeated her earlier
words and | felt the anger inboil over. "Melisse! Don't test me!" | yelled and without a word, | lashed her with
the whip. She must have felt numb from the first strike because she only whimpered and breathed through her
mouth.
Seeing her in such a state actually tugged at my heart, she used to be my favorite out of all the maids in the
packhouse.
But she ruined the closeness and broke my trust.
"Melisse, please." This time, my voice broke as | suddenly went on my knees.
| felt dizzy for sreason, maybe because | had been stressed for so long.
Melisse looked up atand the girls, then she coughed a bit.
"Alpha" she called out softly and | glanced at her.
"They want to overthrow you, they want to take over what belongs to you." She
voiced out painfully before she fainted.
