Chapter 94

Lucianne shook her head again before she said, “No. The last thing I remember was the pain spreading

from my left calf. And the smell of the poison.”

“Smell?” Dr Karr asked.

“Yeah. Being a wolf, I’ve never come into contact with Oleander in any way. I’ve read about them but I’ve

never studied their properties. Yesterday was the first time I got its scent. It smells terrible, doesn’t it?

What’s it made of anyway? I know there must be mercury, salt and granite. But what’s the last thing I’m

missing?”

The doctors were lost for words for a moment before Dr Gina managed to say, “Th-Thioacetone, my

Queen. It’s a substance powerful enough to induce nausea even in small amounts.”

Lucianne nodded in understanding, “Hm. Makes sense.”

Dr Kart furrowed his eyebrows in concern, for more visit :- www.noveljar.com “My Queen, the amount of

Thioacetone in it is so little that not even a Lycan can pick up the scent. And Oleander is odorless,

scientifically speaking.”

All eyes were fixed on Dr Karr, who was looking at Lucianne like she was some medical mystery.

Lucianne sighed in despair and complained to herself in a hushed tone, “This again?! You’ve got to be

kidding me!” Despite her soft voice, everyone heard her.

Xandar, who was already at her side, pecked a kiss on her cheek and said, “Relax, sweetheart. It’s a

good thing. Another first.” He then explained that Lucianne was able to smell silver and some other

substances that were known to be ‘scientifically’ odorless, and that she was the only wolf known to be

able to heal from silver on her own.

Juan then said, “You never told me about smelling silver, Lucy.”

Lucianne responded with a shrug, “I thought everyone smelled it.”

Toby then muttered under his breath, “So that’s why she always knew where those silver blades were

coming from.” He pondered before looking around the room at those Lucianne had shielded i n the past

before declaring, “We are some lucky b*stards Lucy saved.”

Lucianne felt Xandar’s grip on her hand tightened, and she threw Toby a fierce look as she said,“ You are

going to get so badly hurt on the training ground for letting that slip twice.”

Toby chuckled, “Oh, this one was on purpose, Lucy. And like I said, I can’t wait for that spar!” Lucianne

looked at her best friend like there was something wrong with him.

Dr Karr cleared his throat and asked in curiosity, “So, apart from silver and Oleander, is there any other

poison that you’re able to heal from, my Queen? Tanicia, Lumila…”

Xandar growled at the insensitive way the doctor asked the question, making the poor man and his

colleague flinch before they both bowed as a sign of apology. Lucianne turned to her mate and started

stroking his hand as she said in a soft voice, “Darling, it was just a question. It’s alright. Breathe, okay?”

His eyes were still fierce as he kissed her temple and placed her body on his lap, pinning her back to his

chest as his arms secured across her shoulders and around her waist. Lucianne looked apologetically at

the doctors, whom her mate just frightened, and said, “Not that I know of, Dr Karr. It’s just silver and

Oleander now.” 2

Xandar’s grip tightened around her as he said in a low voice, “And we’ll keep it that way.”

“Y-Yes, of course, your Highness. I apologize for my insensitivity.” Dr Karr uttered nervously.

Xandar nodded curtly and said, “Don’t let it happen again.for more visit :- www.noveljar.com ” Lucianne

hit him on his biceps with the back of her hand, completely disapproving the homicidal tone he was using

but he ignored her protest, pecking a kiss on her hairline instead.

Dr Karr uttered with another bow, “It won’t, my King. We’ll let you rest now, my Queen. Do let us know if

you need anything.”

Lucianne smiled at them sympathetically and said, “Thank you, Dr Karr. Dr Gina.”

.

When the door closed, Lucianne turned to face her mate, “Xandar, it wasn’t a big deal!”

“Yes, it was, Lucy.” Zelena said. “He should’ve been more careful when it comes to asking such

questions, especially with what just happened to you last night.”

Xandar turned to her and said gratefully, “Thank you, Luna Zelena.” His sights returned to his annoyed

mate as he said, “You don’t know what it felt like to almost lose you, Lucy. You don’t know how scared I

was yesterday. How scared we all were. That question came out completely wrong.”

Lucianne was trying to understand Xandar’s point when Juan added, “They’re right, Lucy. The doctor

shouldn’t have listed the poisons out like that. You’re a person, not an experiment.”

Lucianne tried to imagine how she would’ve felt if a doctor had asked Xandar or any of her friends that

question, and she understood immediately. Her body stiffened as she muttered under her breath, “Huh. I

think I get it now.”

Toby then teased with a hand cupping the side of his ear, “I’m sorry, Lucy. What was that?” Lucianne

threw him a playful glare and the atmosphere in the room lightened up.

Xandar’s phone rang all of a sudden but his grip on Lucianne remained tight as he answered the call.

“Chief Dalloway?”

“Your Highness, I am so sorry to bother you right now. But would it be possible for you or the Duke t o

come to the station? A woman is confessing to have ordered a child to be killed. And it so happens that

the child in question was shielded by the Queen.”

Due to the proximity between Lucianne’s and Xandar’s bodies, she could hear everything the caller was

saying. Her widened blacks orbs met Xandar’s onyx eyes as the Chief continued, “W-We don’t know how

much of it is true, my King. She happens to know the crime in great detail and her story makes sense.

for more visit :- www.noveljar.com But her demeanor is saying that she’s being forced to confess. She

denied confessing to protect someone else but we really can’t be sure.”

Xandar asked, “How did she say the child was to be killed?”

“A knife coated with a lethal amount of Oleander, your Highness.”

“Who did she hire?”

“A man named Harrison Brown, now deceased. We did some research and found out that he was sent to

the same hospital that the Queen was.”

Lucianne was getting lost in thought as her hands rested on Xandar’s chest. He continued to hold her

firmly as he asked in a murderous tone, “What’s her name?”

“Agnes Fitzgerald, my King.” Lucianne’s confused eyes snapped to her mate’s as she mind-linked, ‘Wait,

who?’
