Carter was shocked to hear Lucas's diagnosis and wonders how she got Cancer, she knew as a daughter of a Beta, he expected that she would be in good health as her father was a strong warrior, how then did she get Cancer?
No wonder she has always been very weak, he wonders how long she has been affected by Cancer. Her other siblings are strong and healthy why is she the only one affected by this disease?
After a while, as she lay down and still unconscious, Lucas put an Aromatic ammonia spirit inhaler under Rionna’s nose which help to awaken her. When she opened her eyes, "Aromatic ammonia spirit," She quickly said the name of the medicine that Lucas used to wake her up.
Lucas was surprised that she knew the name of the medicine he just used to make her gain consciousness because it was not something used by just anyone but only professional doctors who knows the name of the medicine and its uses.
"How come? Carter, has Rionna gone for any medical training before this time, how come she was able to tell the name of the medicine I used now," Lucas asked Carter, he was surprised that Rionna. was able to identify the drug he just used.
He believed she must have knowledge of medicine which was why she was able to say the name of the drug.
Carter knew that Beta very well and that he was not someone who spends money to educate his daughters to learn medicine or any vocation before.
"Beta Zane has never been someone who believed in educating his daughters, I am also surprised to hear and witness her knowledge in medicine, do you know she was able to cure a child today of that disease killing kids in this pack? This was not reported to me, she did it in my presence which surprised everyone."
This news about Rionna also left Carter amused and cautious, he was now very determined to find out what happened to her after she drown herself, How can someone suddenly have knowledge of medicine after drowning? Is that even possible?
This has never been heard of before in the history of werewolves,' Carter said to himself, he became more curious about Rionna’s identity and was determined to find out more about what happened to her.
"Please don't overthink it, a friend of mine told me about the drug, where would I get such knowledge if not from my friend," Rionna lied through her teeth, she was not ready to expose her identity.
"Oh your friend must be a good doctor then," Lucas says as he was convinced that she told the truth. But Carter was not convinced and promises to investigate her further.
Rionna after a while decided to go to her own room to rest for some time.
"I would like to take my leave now, I need to rest for some time it's like I have exhausted myself."
"Okay, you can go, I will send my servants over to you, you don't need to worry about anything," Carter pretends to care about her as he orders his servant to accompany her to her room.
He was going to use that opportunity to spy on her, he knew his servant would be loyal to him and give him every detail of all her moves.
Rionna didn’t think too much about it and thanked Carter. She felt Carter has decided to forgive her that was why he was doing all that for her. Her heart warns out to Carter as she felt that he was a good and considerate guy.
But before she leaves for her room, a thought came to her heart so she turns to Lucas, "How many years do I have left to live?"
She was a doctor and so she has knowledge of every part of the body, she suspected that there was something wrong with her body when she gain back consciousness, so she asked Lucas to know how many years she had left to survive.
This came to Lucas as a surprise again because she spoke like a professional and that she knew about her health condition and he nodded.
"You have less than five years to live."
Rionna asked him if he had a way to treat her, "Is there nothing you can do about it, is there no treatment for this ailment?"
Lucas shook his head. "No treatment has been found yet for what you are suffering from,"
Rionna sighed in frustration because the current pack that the moon goddess moved her soul to is so poor in medicine and she doesn't know how she was going to treat herself as there was no medicine in the pack.
She knew full well the condition of her body and how she can revive her body back to good health because all she needed was some medical materials to add nutrition to her body, but according to Lucas, it seemed that she had incurable cancer, this made her doubt if Luca was competent in his profession as a physician, why can't he see that she is malnourished instead of coming up with this dialysis.
She knew there was no way she could prove that his dialysis is wrong except she could treat herself back to good health. She knew if she delayed the treatment also for so long, her life would be in danger, she truly had few years to live, but she knew the prescription that can help to heal her body, all she need to do is look for a way to cure herself, and she would have to do her findings because she believed there would be some medicine that can help her here.
"Agnes I think we have so much snooping around to do because I can't afford to die the second time and have my soul taken to another kingdom."
"Where do we start? You know we are new here and don't know anywhere around," Agnes her wolf reminds her.
"That is why we need to convince the hot dude here to trust us so that we can have access to some of the facilities around here," Rionna explains to Agnes. Carter was her only hope in this pack and being related to the alpha will give him more advantages and she would be able to use them to heal herself.
Probably this was why the moon goddess moved her soul to this body to help heal her.
"You are right, but how do we convince him to trust us given the way he is looking at us like we are some rogue," Agnes says as Rionna turns to see Carter staring at her. Her heart skips a bit when she made eye contact with him.
Carter sat across from her in his room and he was observing her expression and wondering what she was thinking about. ' I wonder what is going on in her mind, could it be that she is happy her life would be short-lived?' I know she was only pretending to want to mate with me, she probably wants to punish me by promising to care for me.' These were the thought on his mind as he sat looking at her.
When Roinna looked up and met Carter’s eyes and she soon averted her gaze because she was afraid that her identity would be exposed if she does not tread carefully.
"How do I prevent Carter from finding out that I was not the old Rionna? He seemed to suspect that something was wrong but I am not ready to be exposed, Agnes please help out."
