Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

Chapter 219

219 Something Happened

Selma Payne’s POV:

Just as we were in a hurry to rescue Frank, we received another bad news from Master Mary.

While Aldrich was arranging the team to prepare the first aid items, Master Mary pulled us to the side and whispered, “Something’s happened at the palace. Frank has an emergency, and his high fever isn’t going down. He’s being rescued.”

Something happened to both of the Franks?

Wasn’t this too much of a coincidence? sS much so that the obvious conspiracy was hanging on the surface, afraid we would miss it.

The palace was too far away, and we couldn’t reach it. The most important thing now was to find clues on this fellow, Frank.

“Keep in touch with the palace,” I said. “We’re ready to send back any news about this Frank on the mountain at any time to see if it has anything to do with this place.”

The situation was urgent, so we couldn’t wait until dawn. It was easy to encounter danger when traveling at night, so we gathered a large group of team members and formed a fifteen-man squadron.

Aldrich still needed to stay behind to preside over the overall situation. Master Mary and Master Kevin, who were the best at soul-related sorcery, accompanied him. Master Hayley was left behind. She and Master Mary’s mind link could effectively transmit information.

To my surprise, the dazed Dorothy took the initiative to ask to join us.

“When necessary, I can see many causes and consequences. I know that everyone is worried about my health,” Dorothy said. “But since things have come to this, why don’t you let my eyes contribute more? If I can’t find a way to control it in the end, I’d rather squeeze every last bit of value out of the Eye of Insight than let time pass miserably in waste.”

The stronger members transformed into their wolf forms and carried the rest of the people on their backs. The strong limbs of the wolves were more suitable for the harsh terrain than their legs. We reached the third base before 10 o’clock at full speed.

The third one had the worst environment compared to the first two bases. Since no construction materials were available on the spot, the cold and hard stone house was built by the werewolf grandmasters using rocks and sorcery.

This place was like a miniature version of a warehouse. The area was not large, and most of the space was occupied by various supplies. Therefore, although not many people were left behind, the space seemed tight.

Now that fifteen people had suddenly joined them, there was no place to stand.

The person in charge of the third base was a middle-aged man named Chris. He didn’t speak in an official way. After a simple greeting, he led us to the temporary isolation ward.

“Captain Frank’s condition is terrible.” Chris frowned. “We’ve tried many methods, but we can’t lower his body temperature. His fever is very strange. It doesn’t seem like a fever. His body temperature suddenly began to rise for no reason.”

The werewolf grandmaster and Kerner checked on him, and the results were almost the same as what Chris had said, except that his body temperature was higher at nearly 40° C.

This was a hazardous warning line. Even for a werewolf, a continuous high fever could leave behind irreversible aftereffects or even death!

After using medicine and injections to no avail, Master Mary and Master Kevin had no choice but to try using sorcery.

“Those who are not needed here, please leave for the time being.” Master Kevin prepared all kinds of props and did not even look up. Soul inspection was precise and dangerous sorcery. It was strictly forbidden to be disturbed.

No matter how worried we were, we could only retreat from the ward.

Only Master Mary and Master Kevin were left in the ward. Due to the poor soundproofing, we could hear their conversation. However, our hearts sank with every word they said.

“How’s the situation?”

“In my opinion, it’s not very good. The lingering black gas can almost condense into a physical form.”

“What an evil curse. I’ve been with Frank for many days, but I couldn’t tell. What about you?”

“If you didn’t feel it, I didn’t either. No matter who the caster was, he was brilliant and vicious enough. The curse was deep in the soul, like a sealed cheese box. Not a trace of its smell could leak out. However, these ‘cheeses’ are like seeds that have taken root and sprouted in the soul. Up until now, they have almost fused with Frank’s soul.”

“This is not good news. Do you have a solution?”

“Unfortunately, no... Wait, what is this?”

“What’s wrong?”

“... I am not sure. We have to let the people outside see this.”

The ward door opened, and Master Kevin walked out, exhausted and serious. He said, “I think you all heard everything, so I won’t say much. The situation is a little serious, so I must explain it to you.”

He was like a doctor who was about to inform his family of the bad news. He called a few people who could manage the overall situation into the ward and closed the door.

Even though we knew that the people outside had heard everything.
