Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers-Chapter 70: Case of Poisoned Human

(Author’s POV)

The car hit the road and the three of them zoomed of to their first stop, the spa.

Myra and Nora kept on chatting and gossiping about stuff from back home and Alaric chimed in once in a while. He was busy on the phone, discussing office matters, voicing his words articulately.

It took them about half an hour to reach and when they step their feet on the ground, Myra’s face was full of confusion, she asked, "Were we not going to a massage place? Why are we here, at such an expensive looking hotel?" freewёbnoνel.com

Alaric sneered at her words, as Nora spoke "This place has the best spa facilities in the area."

When Nora mentioned about going to a spa, Myra’s initially thought that it will be just a regular place, like how luxurious can a massage parlor can be, right? Or she thought so.

’But this is ..... really ....’ Myra was stunned, speechless. She wanted to say, ’Over the top’ but held her words.

The place was a high end luxurious spa resort, with a lavish exterior. Surrounded with a fresh water lake on all sides, the place was decorated with lush green garden, with yellow and pink jewel like flowers enhancing its scenic beauty. The off white structure seemed more like a floating palace, standing in its exemplary grandeur and was quite famous amongst celebrities and well off people.

Myra felt awkward and whispered in Nora’s ear, "Can’t we just go to some normal spa place?"

Alaric heard what Myra said regardless of her whispering and commented in a mocking tone, "Are you saying this place is abnormal for you?"

She fired back, "I never said that. What I mean is, somewhere modest and low key." Then she mumbled, "Ohhh, he doesn’t know what humble and modest mean, poor thing."

Alaric raised his eyebrows at her words, chuckled and said in a teasing, provoking voice, "Are you admitting that ’our resort’ is way too good for you? This is most basic and modest one amongst all the hotels chains that we own. But do understand you sentiment, after all your background is ’very normal and humble.’ "

Myra’s lips were sealed at his words, ’They own THIS.’ Her eyes widened, almost popping out of her orbital cavity. She then gave Alaric a sarcasm laced remark, "Your normal is way too far from everybody else’s normal, Mr. Everests. But now that you said it is basic and modest, I can truly see ’the modesty’ of this place."

Alaric caught her sarcasm and gave her a sideways glance, "Yeah, I agree. Our normal is like earth and sky."

Myra rolled her eyes at his words, not wanting to participate in a verbal battle with this prick but she commented in a whisper, "At this rate, if you say that the Everests own the entire Kimberg, I won’t be shock to know that. Huhh, he thinks he’s the King of Kimberg or what, prick."

Nora’s mouth twitched listening to both of them and she interrupted, "Hey guys, time out. We are here to start our fun day out. And Brother Al, don’t irritate my friend with your words" she glared at Alaric. Then turning her head towards Myra she continued, "We are already short on time, remember? We have more places to visit, so let’s go" saying this she dragged Myra by the hand as a long row of staff on both sides greeted them with a bow, "Welcome Mr. Everests, Ms. Everests and Ms. Miracle. Welcome to Serenity Heaven."

While Alaric strided forward without returning their greeting, Nora and Myra did nod in acknowledgment. The only difference was Nora was confident with her steps while Myra’s were timid as followed behind Nora with small steps. The royal treatment made Myra out of place. She felt a headache coming.

"Ms. Everests, Ms. Miracle, this way please" the supervisor took the girls to the massage room.

Alaric, in his usual haughty and authoritative tone called for the manager and the manager at once, came running nervously, "I wasn’t late deliberately Mr. Everests. There was some problem with a guest."

Alaric wasn’t interested in his chapping, he cut him off and commanded, "Take me to the office and ask someone to bring the financial documents for the last five years, right now."

The manager gulped, bowed and tilted sideways, gesturing with his hands he said, "Yes sir, this way sir."

With one hand in his pocket, Alaric suavely made his way towards the office area.

On the other side, Elio and Sara visited the pack hospital accompanied by their current Beta, Matthew Shaw. Dr. Andrew was busy administrating young wolves’ conditions, giving them IV drips.

About nine of the packs’ children were poisoned with wolfsbane, though the quantity was mild.

Greg, when he saw Sara along with others bowed and said respectfully, "Luna, young Alpha, Beta, you are all here."

Sara inquired, "How’s the kids condition now?"

Dr. Andrew’s lips made a thin line and sighed, "Luna, most of their condition is stable and out of danger but~ ...." He stopped mid-sentence, as his shoulder drooped.

"But ...." Sara’s ears perked up. "But what Dr. Andrew. What’s the problem?"

He sighed again as he reported, "the young wolves are all fine, Luna. It is just that ..... a human child from our pack has also ingested the wolfsbane."

All the three people were shocked to hear his words. "A child that too a human consumed wolfsbane?"

Wolfsbane is a powerful substance, which is usually used for making high power medicinal drugs. But when taken bare and if the dosage is high, it acts like a poison for the wolf kind as its name suggests, that’s why it was also used for torture and punishments along with silver.

But if a human being consumes wolfsbane, it is as deadly as cobra’s venom. Even a little amount is fatal and it can lead to building cancer cells which will lead to multiple organ failure.

Elio composed himself and asked, "Dr. Andrew, Where is that kid now?"

Dr. Andrew, without taking any more minute and led the way for them to the Intensive Care Unit.

An eight or nine year old boy was lying on the hospital bed with several wires and pipes attached to his body. The monitor beeped as it showed that his pulse was faint and he was barely alive. His face was all gaunt and pale, as his lips were bluish in color; his body seemed fragile and weak.

Sara was outraged to see the boy’s condition, but she controlled her anger. "Matthew, did you find anything from the investigation?"

Matthew responded, "Luna, this incident happened inside the pack school. The wolfsbane was found in the water dispenser. All the staff members and teachers have been detained and are under interrogation right now."

"What about the CCTV footage?" Sara inquired.

"So, far nothing suspicious has been found, Luna" Matthew answered regretfully.

Sara then turned to Greg Andrew, "Has the child’s parents been notified?"

"They are on their way" Dr. Andrew replied.

Sara hummed at his words and then Elio questioned Greg, "Dr. Andrew, don’t we have Elixir of life? We can use that to cure him. It works on humans."

Greg scratched his eyebrows and replied truthfully, "The Elixir we had was all used up." Then he looked at Sara, "On Alpha Brave’s treatment. Although, I can make it again and have most of the necessary ingredients, but the most important herb isn’t available in the market."

Sara’s hands clenched tightly listening to Greg as she asked, "Tell me, the name of the herb. Even if it is across seven seas we’ll get that."

"It is the holy basil but~, it is only found in the vampire’s territories dense mountains" Greg replied after a long pause. "We need it within twenty four hours to make an effective medicine."

"You don’t worry; we will get you the holy basil" Sara assured.

A loud cry was heard of woman with rushed footwork approaching them, "Where is my boy? Where is my Rory, my boy? What happened to him?"

A woman in her early forties with a luxurious attire and a branded handbag was sobbing uncontrollably, accompanied by a man who looked he was about thirty years old. She at once rushed towards the ICU and asked Greg, her tone pleading, "Doctor, what happened to my son, why is he in the ICU?"

Greg tried to explain Rory’s condition to his mother, "Mrs. Clinton, calm down. Rory has swallowed wolfsbane and is in a critical condition, but we are trying to do our best to save him."

She retorted, "This is what you call is your best. Mrs. Clinton pointed to Rory’s bed and wires attached to his frail body. "I want my boy just like before, healthy and alive."

Sara stepped in, "We assure you, nothing will happen to Rory."

Mrs. Clinton looked at Sara’s face and her mouth tightened; she said mockingly, "Ohhh our great Luna, our Queen is here. She says, she will save my child." Then she cocked her head and made an ugly face, "You couldn’t even protect your own daughter from kidnapping. Nor you could~" she stopped, not completing her sentence.

Matthew roared at her words, "You are in your Luna’s presence, silence or your head will be off your body."

Sara gestured with her hand to halt Matthew, calmly she answered, "Mrs. Clinton, Rory is the child of our pack. We will return him to you, just like before."

Mrs. Clinton hostile toned turned arrogant, "You better do, otherwise what use is there of you being our Luna." The hatred in her voice was purely evident.
