29 29. The Wolf and The King (1/2)

Maven was by his side moments later, he was busy with his balms and ointments. Shani was helping him with the ingredients, while Rain was pacing himself back and forth. His eyes kept on changing colors.

Shani looked at me watching the changes in Rain, then she explained me.

”His wolf is struggling from the inside, the red color eyes are his wolf's. He wants to resurface, but Rain is not letting him. He must've felt that it was his wolf's fault that Ranulf was hurt.” She looked at him sadly.

”He could combust he kept on resisting his wolf...maybe I should...” She said as she walk towards Rain and hugged him, he was finally teary. Then moments later he was growling when he was finally turning, and let his wolf surfaced.

Maven kept working on Ranulf's wound, and not the very least affected by the very large wolf who gets onto his bed and snuggled up to his healthy side.

It kept on voicing its low pitch sound of sorrow, but Ranulf was not moving. The streaks of white on his wings were getting more visible as he lay still and looking terrifyingly pale.

”It is a very deep lash and the poison is already webbing along his veins. It'll take sometime but we will know in a couple of more hours if he will survive this or not.” Maven said calmly while he was gathering his stuff to one corner of the King's seating area.

”I will get Muriel and Sabina to assist with the medication. But you will momentarily be our king in his absence, and my queen it is best that we continue the ritual which we had started before...” he paused while looking at Ranulf.

”Let the wolf give him strenght to push through...” Maven said as he circled the king's bed and scattered what Shani said was a healing sand forming a healing circle. She said it was to repel any bad spirits that may linger, and waited for him to die and took his soul for their own.

Sabina came into the room along with Muriel, both were looking at their King with great sadness. Maven filled them in with the details, then Sabina take the first turn in waiting on the King and gave Ranulf his medication.

Then Muriel ushered me out, telling me to momentarily sit on the throne and carry on with the kingdom's daily activities. I followed her and parted with Shani.

I was consulting with the demon warrior and one of Ranulf's general, when I saw the black haired wolf running trough the hallway.

”Damn it...guards! Open the dungeon! Let the wolf into the crawlers cell!” I quickly decended the throne and run as fast as I could, trying to catch up to the wolf.

I arrived just in time. The wolf had just finish slaughtered them all. His thick black fur was wet covered in blood, his teeth were red from it. But the wolf looked at me the saddest eyes I've ever seen.

Walking beside him, I decided to take him to the royal bath. The wolf did not resist, it's like he had lost his power and his willingness to survive.

Fuck this is not good.

I decided to tell Murriel to bathe him. Then let him rest beside Ranulf again, while I go find Shani and told her to be with the wolf.

”Can't you give him something for the sadness? I thought you sell those back on earth for were who lost their mates?”

”Only for the first one baby, this is so sad I can't believe that they would be put through this all over again.” She said resting her back to me and let my arms circle her waist.

”Yes, well maybe this is where you can redeem your fault for not being there months ago?” I whispered in her ear, kissing her hair and rubbing her arm.
