Chapter 422
Once Lily was sure she was out of sight from Jasmine and Nanny Nia, she leaned against a wall and took a minute to breathe.
She touched her forehead and felt beads of sweat.
She hurriedly pulled out a hankie from one of her pockets and began to very gently tap on her forehead.
Once she was sure she wasn’t sweating anymore, she returned it back to her pockets and resumed her way.
She stormed down the corridor, still well furious, her heels against the stone floor.
The servants who saw her tried to greet.
“Lady Lily.” They greeted.
“Are you alright?” They asked.
But Lily ignored them and so they didn’t need to be told twice before steering clear of her path.
She turned towards the steps and began to match on her way up.
She was filled with undiluted fury and rage.
Lily who had always been the figure of a true luna, a true mate.
She had played her role to perfection. Sweet, composed, the ever-patient Luna-to-be.
The one who would never tell Alpha Xaden no. The perfect she wolf.
But now, everything was unraveling.
She had tried her best to maintain that presence even though her true intentions that she would never let Xaden go was hidden deep in her chest.
But this once, just because of today everything might have gone into the wind.
All her hard work.
All gone because of that damn wolf.
She gritted her teeth in rage as she finally reached the massive doors of the bedroom chamber and shoved them open.
She saw Lily and Anna already there together.
Good, she would kill all three birds with one stone.
“Lily.” Anna said once she saw her.
She turned around and slammed the door shut.
Both Anna and Lisa shook at the tremor of the slammed doors.
“What’s the matter with you?” Anna asked confused.
Lily wanted to burst.
“Never mind that.” Anna said casually said with a Wave of her hand and then she walked up to Lily, gleaming from excitement and the anticipation of the news she was about to hear.
“Did she get to take the tea? I know it is supposed to take effect later at night. But I’m just excited to hear the news. How did it happen? What was her face like?”
“She didn’t take the tea!” Lily snapped in rage at the questions being flung at her.
Anna blinked at her, completely astonished.
“W… wh… what do you mean she didn’t get to take it?” Anna asked in disbelief.
Lily ignored her and turned sharply at Lisa.
“How did you put the poison?” Lily demanded in rage.
“My lady?” Lily asked confused.
Lily walked up to her, stood at her front before giving her such a dirty slap that Lisa’s face turned to the other side.
Anna gasped and then Lisa’s eyes, widened, turned to look at Lily, her bottom lip bleeding.
Anna had her mouth over her hands.
“Maybe that slap would remind you of how to asked that question.” Lisa spat in fury. “I asked you. How did you put the poison? Do not make me ask again.”
Lisa swallowed still unable to respond.
Lily was now forced to speak up in anger. “You had said one drop would do the trick. One clean drop, no smell, no magic aura. You had promised it would be undetectable.”
Lisa’s jaw tightened. “And I followed the instructions exactly. One drop.”
“What is going on?” Anna asked finally coming in between them. “Lily what is all this about?”
“Then explain to me why Jasmine didn’t drink it!” Lily hissed, advancing on her as she completely ignored Anna.
“Jasmine didn’t take the poison?” Anna asked in disbelief.
Lily’s eyes narrowed irritated as she finally noticed Anna. “No she didn’t.”
And then she turned back to face Lisa “Explain why that mutt knocked it out of her hands like it was laced with death! Explain why he tried to rip me apart!”
Anna was now well lost in a maze.
“Whoa whoa whoa.” Anna said making Lily face mad talk to her. “Mutt? What mutt? You need to explain more clearly and slowly.”
“That fucking wolf!” Lily spat out. “He ran right through Jasmine’s hand and purposely brought down the cup from her hands to the ground before he finally turned on me and almost ripped me into shreds.”
“Wolf?” Anna said still confused as hell. And then she paused. “Wait Kire? Kire growled and attacked you?”
“He ALMOST attacked me. He would have ripped me into pieces.” Lily exclaimed angrily.
“But Kire is literally harmless.” Anna said. “I’ve only ever seen him growl.”
“So what now? I’m being delusional and lying about what happened to me?” Lily snapped.
“I didn’t say that.” Anna said trying to ease the tension.
“So how the fuck did the dog know?” Lily snapped back at Lisa.
“I did what I was asked to do.” Lisa explained.
Lily gave a bitter and venomous laugh. “Don’t insult me Lisa.”
“I swear it.” Lisa swore. “I did exactly as I was asked to. I was even almost caught.”
“That’s none of my business.” Lily said in rage. “Who even cares if you get caught. You are a stupid and useless servant that no one cares about. I am Xaden’s mate.
If they somehow managed to find out that I tried to poison Jasmine, my future would be ruined. Xaden would never forgive me.”
“Maybe that’s what you need.” Lisa mumbled to herself.
“What did you say?” Lily asked growing in anger.
“Nothing.” Lisa said.
“Who gave you the stupid poison in the first place?” Lily demanded In anger.
“I did.” Anna said finally coming in once again.
Lily’s face twisted. “And where did you get it from?”
Anna was quiet.
Lily’s face twisted even harder making her look ugly as she turned her Anger to Anna.
“Now is not the time to play games. Who gave you the stupid poison?”
Anna took in a deep breath. “My uncle Uther. I got it from my uncle Uther.”
