Alex felt the knife pierce through his heart and coughed up blood, knowing that the blade was coated in wolfsbane. He thought that was it, the end for him. He watched as Prince Damien turned to leave, grinning. Alex was beginning to lose consciousness.
He heard Camen's and General Ryker's voices calling his name. They rushed to King Alex and gently shook him, but Alex closed his eyes, convinced he would not enjoy his life with Nova.
General Ryker tapped Alex on the face and yelled, "King Alex, please wake up."
"We must extract the poison from him. I believe that wolfsbane was used to wrap the knife," Camen blurted, pacing quickly in and out.
Since he was powerless to save the dying Alex, Camen thought he was going insane.
General Ryker suddenly brought a plank, placed the Lycan king on it, and hurried him to his room.
