Alpha King’s Lost Luna

Chapter 297 Adalyn's Plot BECKY i I knew Cassandra and the Alpha King needed to be informed of Adalyn’s plan before they returned to Anemond. If Adalyn really intended to use their son to manipulate the king, they needed to be aware in advance so he wouldn't fall for the ruse.

Of course, I had no idea how to get this information to them. I hadn't received any news about Rayden or Cassandra before I arrived in the House of Moses, nor had I'in a while. I phoned Wild Crawler every day in hopes of hearing about their whereabouts but there hadn’t been any updates since Rayden had left for Yurene. There was no telling where they were or if they were This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

safe.

I wanted to pull my hair out in “> frustration but I managed to remain calm and level-headed. I needed to keep my wits about me here if I wanted to survive this mess of a situation.

As their talk ended, I was about to get close to the door so I could peer out through the door crack. I needed to make sure no one would see me when I left the room, maids or otherwise.

Before I could move an inch, Adalyn’s voice suddenly grew louder. I stiffened and placed my hand over my mouth.

She was just outside the room.

Adalyn grumbled to herself and I couldn’t make sense of what she was saying. It didn’t matter. I was about to

get caught if she entered the room, Just as I heard the door click, I slipped behind the thick curtains. A mere handful of seconds later, Adalyn came in. Luckily, the whole room was dim and Adalun didn’t tend to turn on lights, so I managed to steal a glance at her undetected.

She took a seat on the couch with her back toward the curtains. She remained utterly still and seemed to be waiting for someone as she continued to look at the clock on the wall.

Soon after, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Adalyn called out in a bored, lazy sort of voice.

A maid entered, followed by a man. I recognized him as the head of the royal

healers, the one who had been scolded by Oliver Moses back in Silas’ room. He bowed at Adalyn and the maid was.

quickly dismissed.

Confusion filled my mind. What was he doing here? And what was Adalyn going to talk to him about? She clearly wasn’t worried about Silas’ health, not in a real way, so what was happening here? I remained as still as possible.

If I were to be discovered, all would be ruined.

“Sit down,” Adalyn ordered the healer.

“Of course, my lady,” he said in a fawning sort of way, and then he complied without hesitation. I could sense he was nervous and timid, as if

he was greatly afraid of Adalyn. Not that I could blame him, of course.

Adalyn sensed it as well.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of,” she said smoothly. “As long as you listen to me and do as I say.” “I' have done everything you’ve asked me to, Lady Adalyn,” he assured her quickly.

“I know,” she said and then she laughed lightly. The wicked sound of it sent a shiver down my spine. “Without your help, Silas wouldn’t be so quiet, would he?” My lips parted and I shoved my hand over my mouth. The realization of it all hit me hard but it was too horrible to be true. Was Adalyn truly so evil? The healers seemed utterly terrified of

her.

“I'm afraid Lord Oliver might discover the truth,” he said, his voice quivering toward the end of his sentence.

Adalyn laughed. “How would he? My father knows nothing about medicine or medical treatments. He would have discovered the truth long ago if he did.

My father would never expect something like this. He has always neglected and underestimated me because he could only ever see his son.” She paused and then let out a soft sigh.

“Rest assured, all will be fine. As long as you comply, I'll make sure your family will be lifted. Your son will be a noble and your daughter will be married to one of the prestigious heirs of the big families. You’ll possess a

countless fortune. You'll get much further than any healer ever could.” This was all so unbelievable.

The head healer had done all of this to remain in Adalyn Moses’ favor? To have his children reap the benefits of nobility? It was strange to me that someone would do serious harm to Silas for all of that no matter how tempting it was. As someone who had grown up poor with no sort of title or power, I could never do what the healer had done. None of that mattered to me anyway, but as healers, it was our duty to take care of our patients. Harming them was a villainous act, one that under normal circumstances would have consequences like getting fired or asked to leave the profession.

“I'm grateful for your great mercy and rewards, Lady Adalyn,” the healer expressed obediently. “What do you need from me today?” “I know you're an expert when it comes to drugs,” Adalyn said. “We can’t always let Silas sleep like this. I don’t want him to die, of course. After all, he is my dear little brother.

A snort escaped her.

“I want him to wake up, but in a different way,” she continued.

“In a different way?” the head healer repeated, his tone confused. “I don’t understand, Lady Adalyn.” “I'm sure you can figure it out,” Adalyn said in almost a mocking, sing- songy sort of way. “It’s not hard.

Disable him, paralyze him... either one

would do. I'll let you take your pick.

Just do it quickly. I need this to happen soon. Do you understand me?” It took all of my effort to keep from gasping or making any other kind of sound. I couldn’t believe Adalyn was behind everything that was happening and now she wanted her own brother to be disabled or paralyzed? What kind of person would do that to her own family? It made no sense whatsoever.

It was as if her wickedness knew no bounds.

The healer seemed equally shocked by her request.

“It... it would be i-i-irreversible, my lady,” he stammered.

“Of course, I know it’s irreversible,”

Adalyn said with a short exhale. “It’s the only way to make Silas obedient.

He's always been too disobedient, f Prone to trouble. This should help with that.” Asilence hung in the room and then the healer spoke.

“When do you want me to do it?” he asked her quietly. “The drugs needed for that will be very strong and will take effect in a day or two. I will administer them for you but I need an idea of when.” I could feel the dejection in his voice and for a moment, almost felt sorry for him. Surely, he had been manipulated into this position, but then again, he was willingly going to harm the Beta of the kingdom. That was inexcusable in every way and couldn’t be pardoned.

Adalyn considered the idea for a moment and then spoke in an amused voice.

“Do it after the council meeting. My father could use a surprise.”
