Chapter 88
"Let me go" I yell struggling out of his grip.
"Why don't you let my son go you've done nothing but cause problems and endangered him"
"You're playing a dangerous game Hailey and we want no part of it"
"The moon goddess never makes mistakes she's the one that sealed my fate with Jaden"
"But she also gave us a choice to change that, unfortunately, if my son had any brains he would have rejected you the first day he found out you were his mate." I almost laugh at the fact that Jaden did reject me and only started acting right because of his jealousy. "You know I believe you're a witch you've somehow managed to entice Jaden he doesn't think clearly if you love him the way you proclaim you'll leave him"
" Did
you leave my mother?" I say a bit disgusted, hating I'm using it to drive my point.
"How dare you!" He dares quietly, eyes void of emotion.
"You never did, so you went ahead to kill my father." I know we've been grazing around the truth for a while. It's time to face the facts.
"Hailey you have no right to say that, I have no hand whatsoever in what happened years ago" He said looking away.
"I never expected you to admit to your crimes, but Lord Perry, I know you are responsible for it, my...mother was found in your house goddammit! And you're lying...you did nothing" I hate the way my voice breaks as I speak.
"Yes Hailey I did nothing what got him killed is his involvement in the crown you are repeating history Hailey and I fear everything I worked for all these years will be ruined by your stupidity, I always knew you'd be the cause of my end"
"No Lord Perry your deeds will catch up to you, to everyone you've hurt, to all the blood on your hands to all the lives that prayed for early death like it's a blessing that is what will lead you to your demise it's not my fault I fall under that category"
"I wish I can say it's not too late but you are far too gone I'm sure they are plotting how to avenge Madam Von Grey"
Why am I shocked by his disclosure? Of course, he is a part of those monsters.
"I think you should head back to your mansion and take a vacation or something try to savor your last days off the record I never killed her, her evil deeds caught up to her, Karma is a bitch she's knocking on your door" I say walking past him, I have already wasted enough time conversing with him.
"They need you Hailey your veins hold the power they seek and trust me when I say you will not be able to survive it"
"Thanks for your concern Lord Perry I handle my shit you handle yours"
I head promptly to the exit when I arrive at the pack hospital I see Dimitri waiting for me at the entrance.
"What took you so long?"
"I... Lord...Perry" I stop gripping my thighs as I try to breathe.
"Where's Ride?" I question.
He pulls my hand taking me into the hospital wards.
In-room 54, he pushes the door open, Ride is lying on the bed, looking paler than when I last saw him.
Striding to his side I cup his face but pull back my hand Instantly because of his feverish temperature.
"Dimitri, what's going on?" I ask, blinking back tears.
"I don't know Hailey" He says at the same time the door opens and a woman steps in wearing a lab coat, the doctor I presume. "Doctor what's the result" With a
a sad sigh she sits by the side of Ride checking his eyes and heartbeat.
"Not good at all, his condition I've never seen anything like it " She says in amazement.
"His condition is derived from an old frog death syndrome when you dump a frog into a bowl of hot water it leaps out immediately but if you place it at a warm temperature and heat it up the frog stays and gets comfortable till it's too late Ride is facing this, the acidity if his cell is building rapidly making his insides turn to molten larva it etching its way now in a few hours he will be dead"
"No!" I scream hugging Dimitri, that cunning bitch! How cruel for how to do such a thing he's literally dying slowly in intense pain, I hope she rots in hell!
"I've called for another view of his files. I fear it will be too late to find a solution, I'm sorry but there's nothing we can do" She further adds.
I sink into Dimitri's chest, singing quietly.
"Hailey, you can help him," Dimitri says, rubbing my hand.
I stare up at him, my vision blurry.
"What are you saying Dimitri?" I ask, wiping my tears.
"Remember when I was hurt during the fight with Jaden"
"That's different you got injured he
is poisoned we have no clue what's in the serum and it will just be a waste or make his condition worse"
"What's the harm in trying" he says vaguely disappointed.
"I actually thought you would be screaming the idea once you got here"
I rub my elbows uncertainty, it was once said my blood stabilizes the serum I'll just be making his condition worse.
"After all that you are willing to let Ride die we should have walked away from the start, Richard died in this mission and all those wolves who were abducted so please Hailey help him" I give a sly nod.
"Doctor please help conduct a blood transfusion"
