Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 91

*****Erika's POV*****

"A masked person?" Jace asked and I 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 I sighed.

"Of course I did, but according to the doctor, something was injected into the air and that brought about you falling asleep quickly. The guards too." I explained and the frown on Jace's face disappeared slightly.

"They even had to come after me?" He asked through clenched teeth and my eyes lit up.

"Tell us Jace, who are they?" I asked him and his gaze shot to mine.

Before he could say a word, I 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. I and Kat rushed over to his side to hold onto him.

"Jace stay with me, Jace stay with me and don't close your eyes!" I 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 some nurses.

Kat and I 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.

I 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, I would be done for. Jace was my family, especially now that our father was still in coma.

What would happen to me if 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 for me to 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?" I asked as I 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.

I 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." I said to him and he shook his head as if to say I was wrong.

"I'm afraid you came after the poison had been injected into his drip bag. He was precisely poisoned with the same demon orchid that was used on Alpha Jerome." The doctor said pitifully and cast his gaze downwards.

Melisse shuddered in fear as she saw the smile.

"Alpha, what do you want?" She asked in a small voice.

I didn't beat around the bush as a whip was brought forward again, this time there 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, tell me who these people are and their motive." I began and I saw her gulp.

"Alpha, like I said before, I'm sorry I can't tell you who they are, they'll kill me." Melisse repeated her earlier words and I felt the anger in me boil over.

"Melisse! Don't test me!" I yelled and without a word, I 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 I suddenly went on my knees.

I felt dizzy for some reason, maybe because I had been stressed for so long.

Melisse looked up at me and the girls, then she coughed a bit.

"Alpha" she called out softly and I glanced at her.

"They want to overthrow you, they want to take over what belongs to you." She voiced out painfully before she fainted.
