Chapter 480
“Hi. I got your text. Took you so long, Ericka p>
She scoffed. “You should be thankful you even got a response from me. If this didn’t have to do with Jaris, believe me, we wouldn’t be talking right now p>
I rolled my eyes. I wasn’t surprised at the hostility. We knew each other from a point where we always had arguments.
Ericka was the girl I’d met at the cabin Jaris had gone to when he had issues controlling his beast. She was a Healer who was trying to help him, but well, I didn’t feel comfortable with her especially when I heard her call him ‘baby’. She didn’t like me either because I was in a position she and so many others wished they could be in—being Jaris’ woman.
But we had one thing in common—helping Jaris. Which was the reason she agreed to help me when I took the antidote to her months ago.
“You said you’ve worked out the source. What is it p>
“Well, it’s actually insane. It was made from the blood of a Siphon p>
My brows furrowed in confusion.
“A Siphon? That isn’t possible. I told you I wasn’t able to siphon him. Could another poison have been able to heal him simply because the poison was made from my blood alone p>
“No. As a matter of fact, when a person gets poisoned with the blood of a Siphon, they’re meant to be dead. In an instant. But in the cases of Jaris and his brother who can hardly be killed, it sends them into an unconscious form—leaving them trapped in a deep endless sleep p>
“The only way they get to regain consciousness is if their fated mate is a Siphon and gets involved. Her blood would be the antidote. Or if she could even lay hands on him, she’d siphon him directly p>
My head was spinning.
“Wait, I’m getting confused here. From the look of things, it’s seeming like I did it. I mean, I’m Jaris’ mate and also a Siphon. But I didn’t. I told you I couldn’t even p>

“It wasn’t you, Lyric,” she cut me off. “I said ‘fated’ mate. Not chosen mate. Caden had help from Jaris’ fated mate p>
My world spun in an instant, the truth slamming into me and overwhelming my senses.
Jaris had a fated mate? How was that possible?
“He’s never… he’s never had a mate before me,” I muttered.
Jaris never got mated to anyone before me. He would’ve mentioned it. Plus, if he had one, I was sure she wouldn’t team up with Caden to harm her fated mate for no reason.
Confusion threatened to make me mad.
“Actually, there is something else…” Ericka was speaking when I suddenly felt some people coming toward me.
I lifted my eyes and immediately, all of Ericka’s words fell on deaf ears. My phone dropped from my ear as fear sent my body into a state of shock.
Right in front of me were guards from the Capital. They weren’t just around; they were coming right toward me.
I ended the call without thinking, slipped the phone into my pocket and quickly turned away to leave. Maybe I was mistaken and they actually weren’t here for me.
But who was I kidding? Right as I turned, there was another set of guards, already close to me.
My heart kicked into panic, starting to race too fast. The guards had closed in on me now. I was trapped!
