CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE
The girl began running around the room, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what she was trying to do.
Whatever she wanted to achieve however, had better get me out of this state or Xavier was going to hand her ass to space.
I couldn't figure out what the incentive was for her that made her agree to join Fanny in his plans.
“Fanny, get up from the ground, you're disgracing my species,” Xavier growled at the crying ky’rhan on the ground.
He was a nice looking doctor with a beard, something the ky’rhans didn't like to keep that much because it affected their ky’rhan look if they weren't as powerful. I didn't know much about him so I couldn't figure out what was the cause of his actions.
As much as I was filled with anger, I was also incredibly confused and anxious. Did we have to start fighting our inner circle now? Was that the norm?
Corbin had always been that guy he was even before I got into the mix but Fanny suddenly flipping on us just between the time Xavier woke up and me slipping into coma fucked with my mind.
“Let me see that,” Xavier said to the nurse as she walked closer to inject me with something.
She handed it over to him and he sniffed it before handing it back to her.
Immediately she injected into me, the door opened and I lost my connection with this half reality, everything going off.
**XAVIER’S POV**
I watched Fanny shaking on the other side of the room. I'd distanced myself from him because I was struggling to hold back Xy'thern from murdering him.
There had to be an explanation for this, none of it made any sense.
My father becoming the ultimate villain made sense, I'd taken away his power and that was all there was to Seth. Without power, he was nothing.
Corbin on the other hand had to live in my shadow, the underdog that never made it to the top. So his jealousy blinded his common sense and loyalty and he's currently locked up in my dungeon.
But Fanny, I couldn't understand it. I trusted him implicitly. He lived in my house, I trusted my health with him and that of my wife. Throughout my childhood, he was always there, patching me up after my father had given me more scars than any young human boy had in my world. He was a few decades older than me so I felt a connection to him, like a real father in the chaos that was my life. In fact, I'd resolved to marry his daughter if I didn't find who I was looking for.
Wait, was that it? Does he think killing my wife would leave me open to another woman?
But then, the drug I held in my hand wasn't capable of killing her, she wasn't completely human anymore. My DNA in her blood was adapting more than anything we've ever seen.
I watched as the doctor that had been called in, Doctor Memphis, went over to check on Tessa. Hopefully she's awake soon so I can distract Xy’thern while I figure this whole thing out.
I would have gone into his mind but I didn't trust anyone to make sure the process was safe. I'd be abandoning my own mind and body and taking on his. With betrayals all around me, it was best to force the truth out of his mouth.
“She's been kept in that state for two weeks?” Memphis expressed the mind numbing shock I was experiencing, and refused to allow process because I would do something I'd regret afterwards.
“Yes sir, she's been getting injected morning and night,” Thoraya replied, and it seemed she was suddenly realizing the depth of what she'd aided Fanny in doing.
The bastard was only alive right now because I needed to figure out why. I was going crazy not knowing but the moment I could fit the right pegs in the right holes, he was as good as dead; but that was after I tortured the living daylight out of him.
“Thoraya, let me understand this. You've been putting your queen, a human, under the effect of undiluted Nexarion for two weeks?! What are the chances of her not going crazy?!”
“He said she'll be fine, she has blue blood,” she cried out, her make-up rubbing on her purple skin, making her look pitiful.
I heard a sound and it was Fanny dropping on the ground, did he just faint?
“And you didn't think I should have been informed of whatever this was? Or why?” I asked her, going over to hold Tessa as I felt a stirring on our connection.
“He said you won't like the process but the result will be great so I just went with it. I'm so sorry, please don't hurt my family, I beg you. Kill me only, please,” she knelt down, begging.
“Your family? What have they got to do with this? You committed an unforgivable crime and you'll pay for it. Death is a mercy I can't afford anyway,” I waved dismissively, sending her away with a guard.
Corbin would have a new friend in his prison.
Before we began this journey, I'd taken a few days to grant federal pardons and order executions. We didn't have any prisoners and I thought that was how things were going to be in a new Zorvath but I guess that was naive of me.
People would definitely try me and sometimes, death wasn't the best way to go.
“Your highness, from what I see, he was trying to test her just like you. I understand her blood being superior and very strong which is already a crazy feat on its own but her mind? She's human, what made him think she'd escape that place without going crazy?” Memphis expressed, that nagging fear rising in my mind.
“So you're saying there's no way my wife would wake up from this mess without being… mad?”
“I believe the humans call it a miracle. The only way she'll wake up from this torture and mental fuckery without her mind being broken is by a miracle.”
My heart dropped to my stomach.
