'Screw you, Charlotte. Who has asked you to eat like a beggar?"

Puking nonstop for almost an hour, Charlotte decided to stay permanently in the bathroom.


'Out!"

Eric tried to help her, but she scolded him, not entertaining his glee of marking.

'That was a drunk decision, Alpha. I will deal with you later."


Although, she cursed him openly, Eric sighed in relief on her usual mood.

'How long will it take to remove the venom from her body?"


Charlotte's pale countenance was upsetting for him, he questioned the vampire doctor, whose medicine initiated this.

'Her Highness has consumed a massive amount of food in a short time. It's just a stomach bug."

The completion of the mate-bond came with the blessings of mutual feelings and emotions, Alpha was relieved that he could send energy for her rapid healing.

But Rick was fairly agitated at Charlotte's condition, bugging him nonstop.

'Go and see mate. She is hurt."

Eric was about to pacify him like before, when a sudden beam of white light illuminated the whole room, blinding them temporarily.

Alpha peeped through the hand on his eyes, the mundane figure of Ramla appeared out of the milky white ring of magic.

'I am here to examine Her Highness on the behalf His Majesty, King Casper. Luna Lily has requested for help from the Vampire Kingdom, where is she?"

Eric repressed his hate for the King's accomplice and pointed towards the bathroom.

'Little one has a stomach disorder. The doctor has given her the injection to remove the excess blood out of her system."

'Stomach ache? Are you out of your mind, Dr. Wilson?"

She quickly opened the door and found Charlotte on the floor, grasping for air.

'Everyone, leave. Her Highness needs an energy transfer ritual now."

'But it's a medical issue."

Dr. Wilson held his ground firmly, Ramla flicked her hand to throw him out of the room.

'I will explain everything in detail, you science freak. Let me save Her Highness first."

Pacing back and forth in front of the closed door, Alpha Eric was having the sneak peek of different methods to crush Dr. Wilson's skull.

'I was telling you that mate is ill. This doctor tried to kill our Luna."

Rick's provocation was making that head way more tempting to rip off, Alpha reasoned with his wolf for half an hour to keep him at bay.

Eventually, Rick started calming down, he felt soothing energy washing over his whole existence. Taking deep breaths in relief, Alpha fixed his eyes on the door in the hope of some good news.

'Come on in."

Ramla invited them in after the spell, then she rolled her sleeves and attacked on Dr. Wilson.

'How dare you to poison Her Highness with your allopathic medicine? Why didn't you report it directly to the Vampire Castle?

All thanks to Luna Lily's direct call to His Majesty; Otherwise, only the Goddess knows what would happen if I was a second late to rescue Her Highness."

She yelled at the doctor, her voice laced with pure fury.

'There was only a fever and pain in the lower region of the stomach. I thought it was a simple food poisoning."

Rubbing his hands in guilt, Dr. Wilson was regretting his wrong assessment.

"There was a spiritual issue causing her illness. An abrupt end to the darkness by soulmate's blood could be an answer, but the demon inside a vampire doesn't die that easily. She'll need a proper treatment for this."

'He should be killed according to the Werewolf laws. He has endangered our Luna's life."

Noah spoke on Eric's behalf because he was checking Charlotte's body for any mistreatment.

'He will be punished for sure, Beta Noah."

Ramla spat out her fuming anger, that was not subsided a bit.

'But His Majesty will decide his penalty. There are more than one rules he broke during this two-hour examination. Death is an easy repayment in the Vampire Community, Beta Noah."

Her mention of Royal offense dried all the blood from Dr. Wilson's body, he begged piteously.

'Have some mercy, it wasn't my intention to harm Her Highness."

The double door of the Mansion parted with a loud thud, eight to ten elite warriors entered with a Royal order.

'We have your arrest warrant, Dr. Wilson. Come with us."

'Please help me, Alpha. I am innocent."

His wailing and begging didn't affect those stern faced guards, they dragged him out.

…

Waking up after a long peaceful sleep was nourishing for Charlotte, she groaned and rolled over, only to bump in the burning, chiseled chest.

'Ouch!"

She flinched away, but Eric secured her in his embrace.

'Why are you naked?"

Charlotte kept her eyes closed and rubbed her hands on his toned muscles, feeling their stiffness.

'I just removed my shirt to flex my mark."

The memory of that dramatic marking got refreshed in her mind, Charlotte's eyes shot open to check the result of her rash decision.

'This is my mark, but what has happened to your neck. There wasn't a scar here before."

She deliberately left her question vague, as she didn't like to say Melinda's name in their intimate moment.

'I have cleared my previous mark. Only your mark can stay on my body."

However, it was a strenuous task to utter a single word, but Charlotte managed to scream out her shock.

'You have cut a piece of flesh from your neck?"

'It's not a big deal, little one. You tell me, how are you feeling now? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

He supported her to sit up, Charlotte's petite figure was trembling like a leaf.

'I, I can't breathe."

She placed her hand on her chest, and threw her head back in pain.

'My head is spinning."

Eric jumped out of the bed and called Ramla, she injected her with a magical potion immediately.

'She has lost a lot of energy, Alpha. Her Highness needs careful nursing and a complete bed rest. Any emotional shock could be fatal for her."

'You did this, dud."

Rick whimpered in his mind, blaming him that why did he show his adventure to Charlotte.

'I will be careful from now on."

Eric requested Ramla to stay with her twenty-four by seven, her magic proved to be the life-saving for his Luna.

'There is no need to state the obvious. His Majesty has sent me to take care of Her Highness. I will leave after completing his order."

Eric nodded at her dedicated claim and corrected her statement.

'As you can see that little one has marked me, call her Luna from now on."

He trailed his fingers over his mark to show off, and went to study after a quick shower because Noah was urging him for work.

'Your idea of selling the company to the Stanford group has worked, Alpha. The real culprit behind all the chaos appeared out of its hole with the highest offer to buy our business.

Please take a look at this."

Noah presented him a report, Eric's grin deepened while reading it until the end.

'My guess was right. It's rogue Alpha Sophia."

He closed the file with a triumphant smile, Noah proceeded with his elaboration.

'Alpha Bryson has accepted his daughter back in his house after Alpha King's punishment. They both planned this financial attack and succeeded in it initially, but you really trapped them this time.

Lycan officials were able to pinpoint their hide-out and destroyed their headquarters. It was a smart move, Alpha."

Eric stretched his arms and clasped them behind his head.

'You have to lose something good to gain greater goals. At first, I also couldn't realize that it's not accidental.

Later on, this third-party interference cleared my mind. Little one has worked hard to save my father's legacy. I can't repay her efforts for our finances."

Noah arranged the files and admired his Luna.

'Just because of Luna's dealing and investment, we will be back on track in no time. She is indeed a savior."

Chanting his mate's name like a mantra, Eric's heart was swaying with happiness when a sudden miscall ruined his mood.

'What does he want now?"
