A week has passed since they returned to their territory. As per the witches advice, they had 'let it be'. The poison -which was not a poison- had spread all over. It was now almost at her fingertips and the ends of her toes.

Edmund could hear her moaning in pain. It made him restless. He paced in his office, itching to go check on her.

And finally, he decided he would do just that.

Once he entered the room, he saw Matthew placing wet cloth pads on her forehead.

"You may leave now." He instructed.

Matthew glanced at the Alpha, respectfully inclined his head and left.

Edmund sat on the side of her bed and examined her. Sweat dripped across her brow. Her lips were parched. Her whole body had a blue-black tinge. She looked alien. It was almost scary.

If you looked close enough you could see the blackness spreading through the veins at the tips of her fingers. It was mesmerising.

Suddenly, she gasped. The black venom was sucked back into her heart so fast that it looked as if it just disappeared.

Edmund wasn't ready for what happened next.

We're at the climax! P.s. Don't forget to vote and comment! =D
