Chapter 95: Strings of deception

Dora and Archi went back to the palace looking so sad, "Nothing should happen to her," Archi sniffed.

"Nothing will happen to her, she will be fine," Dora caressed his head.

"Who did that to her? Why is that person so wicked?" He palmed his face.

"Let us just pray she gets well, and of course she will," she consoled him.

"I hope nothing happens to her," he bit his lips, praying for her health for the umpteenth time.

"She will be fine," Dora said again.

They entered the palace together to find a worried Elena and Oberon.

Dora tightened her lips and tried walking past them but Oberon stopped her.

"Wait, please, tell us what happened? Where is she?"

Dora shrugged, "With the doctor of course," she secretly rolled her eyes.

"I know, but is she fine? What did the doctor say?"

Dora looked away, tears threatening to fall down her face.

"She is close to death," she whispered.

Elena’s jaws dropped, "Close to death? What do you mean?"

"That is what he said, she is struggling for her life, we just hope she actually wakes up."

Oberon creased his brows, "What is happening to her at the moment?"

"She is unconscious, probably in a coma," she tightened her lips.

Oberon was weakened, "How.. who did this?"

Elena explained, "I honestly do not know, I only heard screams and a crash, on getting there, she was in her pool of blood."

Archi began to cry again, holding Dora as he cried.

Dora realized they were having that conversation with Archi around, she took him up in her arms and carried him to his room.

"This is.. I must find out who did this!" He yelled.

Elena nodded, "You must, that murderer can not be allowed to go scot free! Who knows how many wolves he has killed or must have attempted to kill?"

Oberon fumed, "Where is she mother? Where is the doctor’s place, I want to see her before anything else."

Elena nodded and described it for him, "You should fine him there," she sighed.

He thanked her, "Thanks a lot mother," he rushed out of the palace.

"What is happening? Is everything supposed to be this way?" She held her head feeling so tired.

***

Oberon arrived at the place his mother had described for him. He felt so worried and entered in as quickly as he could.

"Doctor?! Where is Nyx?" He ordered.

Andrew pretending to be the doctor came out, "What do you want?"

"I came here to see Nyx, where is she?"

The doctor bowed his head, "Nyx? Oh poor girl, follow me," he signalled him and together they went into the rooms.

They got to ’Nyx’s room’.

"There she is, she is sleeping."

Oberon blinked, "She.. is fine?"

He nodded, "Perfectly fine, a miracle had occured, we thank the moon goddess."

Oberon was too overjoyed to ask any more questions, he rushed to her side.

"Nyx," he held her hand and kissed it.

"I do not think she can hear you," he Interrupted.

"I do not care," he gently squeezed her hand, "What matters most is that she is fine," he smiled.

’Oh wow! He is an Alpha and can he easily swayed? Does he really love Nyx?’. Andrew wondered in his heart.

"Hehe, she will wake up in a few minutes, let me go get something for her, I will be back," he sighed and walked out of the room.

Oberon held onto Nyx’s hand, "I am so sorry, I did not expect this to happen to you, you will be fine Nyx, and when you wake up, I promise to protect you, even if it means protecting you with my life."

Her hand seemed to move and he gasped,he watched closely.

Her eyes moved a little and slowly opened, he braced himself for any form of questions.

"Oberon?" She asked weakly.

His eyes lit up, "Yes? I am here, are you okay?"

Her eyes darted around the room, "What.. how.. what is happening?"

"I think you were attacked, you will be fine, I am here now," he squeezed her hand.

She smiled weakly, "What happened to me? Where am I?" She asked weakly.

"You are at the doctor’s place, mother had told the guards to bring you here, now, you are fine," he sighed.

"Okay, I want to go home, I do not like this place, please take me home."

He nodded, "The doctor will be back soon, and I am going to ask him if you can be taken home."

She nodded, "Okay," she sniffed and closed her eyes.

"Oberon was a bit surprised she was being soft that day, probably because she is weak, he thought to himself.

"I am thirsty," she gulped.

He looked around for a glass of water, he found one and brought it to her.

"Here, let me help you," he held her carefully and helped her position the glass carefully at her mouth.

"Be careful, drink it slowly, okay?"

She had her drink, "Thank you," she sighed in relief.

Andrew came in, "Oh, she has woken up?"

He nodded, "Do you think she can go home? I think she will be more comfortable there."

He hesitated, "Now, you want to take her home?"

"Yes, she will be given the best treatment there, I do not like this place for her recovery."

He sighed, "I think you should wait a little.."

"No, she is coming with me, I want her to be at home, she will be more comfortable there."

"If you say so your majesty," he bowed.

He walked towards them, "Here, you should give her this medicine twice daily, she will recover faster."

"Thank you very much," he carried her in bridal style and took her out of the room.

"I will take very good care of you Nyx, you will be fine," he took her to the horse that was waiting outside for them.

With care, he placed her on the horse, climbed on it and rode back to the palace.

***

Dora sat in the living room alone, silently bemoaning Nyx’s condition.

"How did it get to this? What has she done to deserve all these?" She held her head.

Elena came by and saw her in that state, she went to her and sat beside her.

"What is the matter my dear?"

Dora was startled and jolted, "Oh, your highness," she bowed slightly.

"Why are you so sad?"

She wiped her wet face, "It is nothing your majesty," she shook her head trying to smile.

"I can see it is not."

"It actually is, there is nothing to worry about," she tried changing the topic.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am very sure," she nodded.

"Are you sad because of Nyx’s condition?"

Dora palmed her face, "Yes."

Elena pressed her lips together, "I understand, I am also worried, but let us keep hoping, she will be fine."

She reached out and squeezed her hand softly. Dora was startled feeling Elena’s hand.

They stopped and looked at each other in the eye, her hand.. it felt so familiar, like she had held it somewhere before.

Elena was shaken a little, who exactly was this girl?"

That moment, Oberon entered with Nyx in his arms.

Elena gasped and went to meet them, "She is okay?!"

"Yes, she just needs some rest."

Dora creased her brows, "Nyx?" She walked towards them and looked at her.

"What is the matter?" Oberon asked.

Dora looked at her closely, "She.. does not feel like Nyx," she shook her head suspiciously.

"What do you mean by that? She is Nyx," he frowned.

Dora squinted her eyes and gave her a close look, she did look like Nyx, but did not feel like her.

"Hm, that is strange," she thought.

Oberon wonder why she was sounding that way, "I have to take her upstairs, she can not stay here for a very long time."

With that, he took her upstairs.

Dora watched him take her upstairs, "Hm, why is this feeling so off all of a sudden?"

"Is something wrong?"

She looked at Elena and looked away, "There is no problem."

She walked away as fast as she could to prevent more questions.

Elena bit her lips, "A lot of strange things are happening," she shook her head, "What is happening?"

Dora went upstairs, secretly following them behind, in suspicion.

Oberon took her to his room and laid her on the bed.

"Hey, just rest for a while, do not stress yourself, you will be fine."

She nodded, "Thank you," she smiled sweetly at him.

He blinked his eyes, "Do you need anything?" He asked worriedly.

She nodded, "I want some fruits, could you get some for me?"

He nodded and left the room as fast as he could.

She smirked, "Now, my pleasures begin," she said to herself, "Now, I am now an official Luna," she giggled.

"I knew it! You are fake!" She heard a scream.

She looked up to see the person, it was Dora!
