Claiming His Resisting Mate

JOHN’S POV

“What the fuck are you saying?” I growled at her. The maid trembled as she bowed her head.

“It’s true,” she replied weakly. “Please hurry to Alpha’s room”

“John let’s go, we can’t waste time anymore” Cassius said and we hurried towards the door. On the way towards the room I couldn’t feel my heartbeat. It was like frozen refusing to beat. As soon as we reached the room, Adriana’s worried face came into view.

“What happened?” Cassius asked as soon as we stepped inside.

“You are here” Adriana cried out “look what happened suddenly?” She pointed towards the bed where a pale figure was lying.

My gaze couldn’t move from the body as I walked towards it. There was my beautiful mate lying like a corpse, her breathing was slow and her eyes were closed tightly. It was like no matter how much I call she will never respond.

“Baby?” I whispered but she didn’t respond. My heart was in chaos. Her lips were turning blue suddenly.

“Where the fuck is pack doctor? Why is he not here yet?” I roared.

“I have already sent people to call him,” Adriana replied.

I couldn’t hold back my anger. Everything was all right then what happened suddenly? My mate was lying here, like a corpse and she was not responding at all. I turned back to look at Adriana who was sobbing. Cassius held her in his arms.

“How did all these happen? She was all right in the morning” I asked.

“She was having meals in the dining room. We were chatting and laughing. Then after she ate the congee she suddenly fell from the chair and passed out. I don’t know what happened suddenly so I brought her here and called for the doctor” she explained.

“You say after eating food?” Cassius was frowned.

Adriana nodded “yes, after eating food. She was happy all the time, she was even saying the food was delicious then …” Adriana bit her lips and couldn’t say anymore.

“It’s okay, don’t worry” Cassius hugged her. Just then the pack doctor rushed in with his assistant.

“What happened?” He asked.

“Where the hell have you been? You took years to come here” I glared at him.

“I was dealing with other matters. As soon as I heard I rushed here”

“Keep your explanation and check her already” I hissed. He nodded and immediately pulled out his medical box and walked towards the bed. He checked her heart then her pulse. He frowned slightly.

“Turner what happened?” I heard Cassius ask. Turner turned to look back at us with a heavy expression.

“This situation is critical she has been poisoned”

“WHAT?” We all were shocked. My gaze turned to look at my mate. Poisoned?

“Yes” Turner nodded, “look at those blue lips, the poison is reacting fast and she is unconscious. It’s a symptom of the poison effect ”

“How could this be?” Adriana gasped.

“Tell me what she ate before?” Turner asked.

“Congee” Adriana replied, “but she just had 2-3 bites before she fell into unconsciousness”

“The poison which was given is strong. It won’t take time to take action” Turner looked at his assistant, “bring the checker I need to quickly test what kind of poison was given to her”

The assistant didn’t waste time before pulling out something from the medical box. They started to check Reese again. After 10 minutes Turned out down the kits in his hand and turned to look at us again.

“It’s Yew, she has been fed with Yew poison. This type of poison is high level toxic and could damage the body in short period of time”

“Yew? There must be some cure” I said.

Turner gave an disappointed look, “I am afraid that this poison don’t have any antidote”

“You can’t say that” I growled, “you are the miracle doctor, how could you say that? You have cured many patients but when it comes my mate you are backing away? Are you serious?” I yelled. My mind was crazy right now and I couldn’t think of other things than curing my mate. I walked towards him and grabbed his collar “you are fucking going to treat her and cure her, I am not going to take no for an answer”

Turner gave a shocking look “man what are you doing? Those miracle words were used by others, not me. I have cured many because it was all under ability. But Yew poison doesn’t have its antidote yet. I am not god” he said.

“John stop that” Cassius was by my side, “doing that won’t cure your mate”

I let go of Turner and looked at my mate. Walking towards her I grabbed her cold hand, “you are not going to leave me do you hear me? You promised me not to leave me. You even sword with Moon Goddess, what will I do if you leave? If you love me then you are not going to leave me” my heart was burning and aching with pain. I have tolerated the pain of separation and I won’t let it happen again. I squeezed her hand, “you have to prove to me you really love me. This time you have to show me your truthfulness. You can’t leave, I would never permit you” I shook my head. My eyes are burning but I won’t cry. I have the hope she won’t leave me. She has promised me hasn’t she?

“John, calm down” Cassius said “even if there’s no antidote there must be some way to save her”

“I can’t cure the poison but I can extend her lifespan and keep the poison from spreading in her body” Turner replied.

“Then do that. We will try to find a way soon. Till then you have to keep her alive” Cassius’s tone was hard.

“I will do my best,” Turner replied.

“John, come with me, let Turner do his work. He will keep an eye on her”

I looked at my mate again. I don’t know if she heard me or not but I know she wouldn’t leave me. She has promised me. And I believed her. I kissed her hand.

“Wait for me darling. You have to fight for yourself, for us. You have to suppress this poison. I will come back soon” I got up and Turner started to pull out a syringe. I turned to look at Cassius who nodded in my direction.

“This yew poison doesn’t have any antidote then what are we going to do now?” Adriana asked. Her eyes were red from crying.

“There must be some way” I shook my head, “I have to find a way to pull those poison out of her body. We don’t have much time”

Cassius looked serious like he was thinking something, “call your parents here, uncle Eliseo must know something”

“Dad?” I frowned.

Cassius nodded “yes, let them know”

I called mom who picked up two rings “John”. I can hear her cheerful voice.

“Mom”

“John? What happened? You sound weird”

“Mom you have to come to the pack with dad”

“What happened? Why are you asking suddenly?” Mom asked. She must be confused.

“Mom, Reese was poisoned with no antidote”

“What?” Mom shouted. “Poisoned? How?”

“Mom, it’s not time for the inquiry. Please come here fast”

“Okay don’t worry dear. We are coming” she hung up. I sighed as I rubbed my face. I don’t know what I am going to do now. I looked at Adriana.

“You said she was like this after the meal?”

She nodded “yes, she was all fine. We have been teasing and laughing. Just as she ate the congee her expression changed and she fell down. I couldn’t understand what happened”

“It might be someone putting the poison in her food” I uttered.

“I was the one who ordered the kitchen to make the congee for Cassius. And those kitchen staff are all loyal. I couldn’t think of a reason for them to harm Reese” Adriana shook her head.

“Even if the kitchen staff are innocent, there must be someone who did it secretly,” Cassius said. “This kind of act is a crime. I won’t tolerate it here” his face hardened. “Looks like my lessons in the training were not hard enough so someone gained the guts to commit such a felony” he clenched his fist.

“Cassius?” Adriana called.

“Let Reese get cured first. Then I will investigate this matter myself. I won’t have this kind of transgression to repeat in my pack again” Cassius said.

It was not only him but even I was raging inside. The only reason I am not going out is because of my mate who was fighting between life and death. Moon Goddess you have given us the second chance, you can’t take it away again. It was your intention for us to meet again then you have to give the chance to live together. I prayed silently in my mind. Please help me. Please.

Turner walked towards us “I have given her a shot which will keep her body active to fight the poison from spreading. But it could only help her for a few more hours. We have to hurry or the chances are too small”

I closed my eyes as I felt my chest burning. It was like almost exploding from the pain. I couldn’t lose her, I couldn’t lose her for the second time.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
