My mind was dazed before I recognized what was happening. I almost fell onto the ground as my body trembling vehemently.
Why? Father had accepted Blake into the pack and promised he would treat us well.
What on earth had happened?
“Where are they?” I asked anxiously.
One of the maids rolled her eyes at me and mocked, “Why the hell would we tell you?”
“Leave away from us! We’re busy with work! We don’t have time to…”
“Damn! Just tell me where they are right now!” I blurt out in sudden rage, and my eyes constricted with anger.
My roar frightened them. They cringed and stammered, “They… they’re in the basement.”
Something pierced through my chest while their response rang in my ears. I gritted my teeth and ran to the basement without looking back.
I could still hear the two maids whispering with each other behind me.
“What the hell? Why’d she get so intimidating all of a sudden?”
“Tsk…Did you see that? I saw something horrible flashed in her eyes…”
The maids’ voices faded as the distance between us further. I didn’t mind what they think of me, the only one I cared about was Blake…My mate.
As I arrived at the basement, I could hear my father roaring in a fury. My whole body trembled as his thunder voice echoed around the basement.
“Expel this lowly Rogue out of our pack!”
“No! Father!” I shouted, rushing into my father.
Everyone’s gaze fell on me but my eyes fixed on Blake, who was curling up on the floor. His limbs were bound by thick iron chains. His lips had turned purple, and his eyes were black and blue. The veins on his arms and forehead protruded out, and his white shirt had soaked with sweat.
It was the symptom of poison…
Blake had been poisoned!
My heart sank to the bottomless ground, and my breathing was quick and uneven. Feeling my gaze, Blake glanced at me but quickly averted his eyes.
I pulled the guards away and rushed over to Blake’s side. I wanted to help him up but my father stopped me.
“Chloe! What are you doing?” He asked in a cold inquisitorial voice.
It had been ages since I’d seen him so angry.
I took a deep breath and swallowed my anger, “Father, what happened? Why did you poison Blake? Why are you banishing him!?”
“He was trying to steal lethal poison from our castle!” Vanessa interjected. “Everyone knows that the castle is a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter it without father’s permission.”
