Chapter 46 - Poison In The Food

Without caring about their curious gazes, Richard continued to run in his wolf form even in the castle; he only changed into the form of a human when he reached the inner palace and stopped in front of a door. He knocked it frequently until it opened with a frowning man whose eyes widened when he looked at the man standing in front of him. His eyes widened and his jaw touched the floor. He was so shocked that he felt like it was a delusion and his left hands moved shaking and slapped himself. Only then he believed that it was true!!!

"Alpha" he bowed his head, as he was too afraid to even see the darkening face of his alpha. but Richard entered without any customary greetings. He carefully laid the girl on the bed. As if he was afraid that others would not be able to do it properly but he was still not satisfied with her ashen face and blood filled clothes. 

He glared at the man who was still standing on the door like a frozen statue. His icy gaze was enough to run a shiver down his spine.

"Why are you still standing there like a door guard? Come here and treat the girl?" came the chilly voice of Richard, who was looking like he would rip apart the man if he did not treat the girl in a few seconds.

"Girl?" The man called his head and only then realized that there was another person in the room. He was so shocked by seeing his alpha nude on his door in the middle of the night that his mind had started swirling on the rumors. For a minute he had thought that the rumors were true! But when his eyes fell on the injured girl, a breath of relief was taken by him and his soul came back to his body.

He ran towards the pale girl who was colored red and held her wrist. His face turned contorted as he let go of her wrist and checked her eyes and tongue. The girl coughed blood again while he was checking and he frowned further.

"She was given poison but I did not understand why she was affected so badly? Aren't we immune to most of the poison due to our strong immunity? If I did not know any better, I would have thought that she was a human by the way her body was corroding." he shook his head at his foolish thought. A human could not even think of entering the palace of his alpha who hated humans to the core. Then how could he even imagine in his dreams that the alpha would bring a human for him to treat! But the more he looked at the girl and felt her pulse, she did not look like a wolf. Could it be that she was a chimera? But before his mind could run further away in his dreamy thoughts, a cold voice brought him back to reality.

"She is a human!! What kind of physician are you when you did not even notice this small fact?" Richard tilted his head as he looked at the man who had been called the great physician by their pack! He was still eccentric like ever.

"What did you say? You actually brought a human for me to experiment on? I never thought that you would be this considerate and kind to me.'' He even forgot how much he was afraid of the man standing in front of him as he joined his hands with glee and excitement as he imagined thousands of things he would do with this body. But once again, cold water was poured over him by his ferocious voice and actions.

"Treat her in a minute or you will be lying on the bed next to her. And if you did anything funny with her body. I will make sure that i would personally operate on your body.'' The voice was no less than the voice of a demon who had come out from the depth of hell to take his life.

His whole body shuddered but the shock of his words were once again higher than the fear of his life.

"You want me to save a human? A human girl at that?" his eyes were popping out of his body as he could never believe the words even when it had come from his own mouth. Richard's last threat of patience snapped by the incessant gibberish the man was spouting. If it was not for his tremendous talent in even giving like to a corpse, he would have thrown the crazy person out of the palace a long ago!

"Merina!! If you will not start treating her. I will take your hands away this instant.'' This time it was not an empty threat but a promise and even the man realized the seriousness of the situation.

He nodded his head and the excitement of his face dissipated. He looked at the body gravely and then started checking her pulse again.

"She had been fed poison and it had spread all over her body. But the amount is not much so she would be fine if given antidote soon but she had lost a lot of blood too so it would take some time to heal her back.`` The man moved towards the cabinets on the other side and opened them one by one. Taking out a lot of twigs and smelly items from them. His eyes glowed like a crazy magician who was going to make a black potion.

"You have all the ingredients or you need anything?" asked Richard, ignoring his crazy look but the man did not even turn to look back at him and shook his head. 

"There is no poison in the world which I did not have! I will start treating the girl this instant, you can leave and rest." there was no fun or amusement in his eyes but Richard did not leave as he had expected but continued to stand there when the door knocked again and Caleb brought Elie in.

"You too, Caleb?"
