Chapter 314 Examination

Lila’s POV

When I came through again, there was a bright light shining in my eyes. I winced away; pain seared

through my body and hissed in agony. I jerked away from the firm hands that were grasping me.

I felt a blow against the side of my face, and I knew it had to have been someone’s hand. Some hit me.

I felt a warm liquid oozing down the side of my face and instantly smelled my own blood. My body

quivered and shook in agony. I could see my wolf in my mind’s eye, and she was cowering against at

corner, not wanting to speak, but also not wanting to leave me. I could see the pain in her eyes though;

it was the wolfsbane. It was hurting her terribly.

“I’d like to do a proper examination of her,” said a gentle voice. My vision cleared only slightly, and I

saw a tall woman standing before me. Or maybe she just seemed tall because I was being pressed to

the ground.

But she wore a white doctor’s coat with a blue blazer underneath. She had long blond hair and fair

skin; when she looked down at me, I saw her emerald, green eyes that were practically glowing and

her long lashes that nearly touched the glass of her silver-framed glasses.

From the silver, she definitely wasn’t a wolf.

She was pretty though, and she looked gentle. She was speaking to someone I couldn’t quite see. I

wasn’t sure if I was still in the dark, or if it was just my vision, either or, I couldn’t tell where I was.

But I could now feel my body and I could move. If these a ssholes holding me would allow me to move

that is. But they were pressing me hard into the ground; I could hardly breathe. They were treating me

like a rabid animal. Like I was a beast they couldn’t tame.

“You can do the examination here,” a familiar voice seethed.

It was Jazzy; I knew her voice almost immediately. She was standing nearby, speaking to this woman.

I’m assuming this woman was a doctor of some sort, but she wasn’t a human. Maybe a witch? She

could be a

healer.

“Not properly I can’t. I need my clinic. It has technology that you could only dream about. I would be

able to do a full examination and get you a report on her health in only a few hours,” the woman

explained; she sounded almost desperate and eager.

It worried me.

Jazzy was quiet for a moment.

“It’s not necessary,” she muttered.

‘It is if you want your spell to work/ If her blood is tainted or if she’s ill, it won’t work,” the woman said in

return. “Jazzy, I have been your healer for over a century. When will you learn to trust me?”

There was no response at first; for a moment, I thought maybe Jazzy had walked away. But then she

spoke again, and I felt my body shuddering.

“Fine. You have 3 hours. Then I want her back in this cage. Give her more wolfsbane to be sure she

doesn’t try anything st upid.”

“Yes, mam,” one of the men holding me said.

I felt a sting in my neck and then it felt like my entire body was on fire again. I wanted to scream, but

the pain was too much. They wouldn’t let me go; as much as I struggled, they wouldn’t release me.

The last thing I thought about before everything went black was, “Enzo….”

When I opened my eyes, I instantly wished I could black out again. I moved my arm and pain seized

my flesh. I screamed in agony and looked down to see that a silver cuff was wrapped around both my

wrists.

When I moved my legs, more pain consumed me, and I realized I was cuffed at my feet too. I was

completely chained down on this bed.

The worst part was… I was completely naked.

However, I was more alert than I was previously. Which meant whatever they gave me to make me feel

numb and out of it was wearing off.

I heard the clicking of shoes and it was coming closer. I wanted to struggle and try to break free from

these chains that bound me, but I knew if I did then it would only cause me more pain. I was so weak,

and I was so exhausted; I didn’t want any more pain right now.

“Oh, you’re awake,” the same gentle voice from earlier said as she approached.

I looked up to see that healer lady walking toward me,

“I’m Dr. Hannah Laureen,” she said gently, giving me a small smile. “You can call me Hannah if you’d

like.”

“Where am I?” I found myself asking, surprised that I could even speak.

She looked surprised too but then she smiled.

“I’m afraid I can’t tell you exactly where you are. But you are inside of my clinic right now. I’ve been.

monitoring and examining you for quite some time now.”

“W…why?” I struggled to ask that question; I wasn’t even sure I wanted to know the reason.

“Jazzy wants to use you to create a Volana vessel,” she answered simply as if she were ordering pizza.

“But she wouldn’t be able to do that if you were unwell or tainted.”

“A Volana vessel?” I croaked. “Why me?”

She raised her brows at me as if she was genuinely surprised that I didn’t know the answer.

“Because you are the strongest Volana to ever exist,” she answered, narrowing her eyes at me. “Which

means, she can create the strongest vessel to ever exist.”

The strongest Volana? I’m not the strongest Volana. I just started to be able to control my abilities. I’m

still learning. I’m still young. My mother was way better than I was.

I couldn’t be the strongest Volana to ever exist. I would have laughed if I wasn’t so uncomfortable.

“So, she’s going to turn me into a vessel so I can do her bidding?” I asked bitterly.

This made Dr. Hannah Laureen laugh.

“Oh, goddess no. You are just the Volana used as the sacrifice. She has another body for that.”

I suddenly felt cold.

She was going to use someone else as the sacrifice? Who?

I wanted to ask, but I couldn’t even get the words out of my mouth. I felt uneasy and my stomach

clenched.

I just wanted to go home; I wanted to get back to my mate. My wolf was whining and there was nothing

I could do about it.

“I have most of your medical tests done. You seem very healthy. I’m pleased by that,” she said fondly.

“Your allergy list will take a little longer. I should get results within the next day or so. But other than

that, I’m pleased with what I see.”

“I want to go home,” I muttered, wanting to struggle against the chains. But not wanting to cause me

any more pain.

She frowned.

“I’m afraid that’s not possible. Jazzy needs you as a sacrifice for Monday’s ritual.”

“Monday?” I whispered. I knew they had taken me on a Saturday which was when the banquet was

held.

Oh, goddess… the banquet. Everybody was going to be so worried. Did they even know I was

missing?

“Monday is when the red full moon is,” she explained. “It’s the only time that this spell will work.”

“What spell?” I demanded to know.

She sighed.

“It’s not important,” she said, shaking her head at me. “All you need to know is that Jazzy is the boss.

What she says goes. If you go against her, she will hurt you in ways that will make you wish you were

dead.”

I shuddered at the thought, thinking about earlier when I felt that terrible pain. I didn’t want to feel that

again. I glanced at the cuffs that were wrapped around my wrists and legs.

“Can we get rid of these?” I asked, hearing the strain in my voice. “They hurt…”

She frowned and glanced at the cuffs before shaking her head.

“For my safety… I can’t remove those,” she answered.

“Do you seriously think I’m strong enough to do anything?” I asked, staring up at her pointedly.

She only shrugged.

“You are the strongest Volcáno wolf to ever exist. I can’t take the risk.”

Chapter 314 Examination

A growl escaped my throat and this time I knew it was my wolf; she was awake, and she was angry.

Val being awake meant the wolfsbane was wearing off, or maybe this was a different kind of wolfbane

that allowed her to be active.

“I think it’s some kind of enchantment…” Val said, almost h oa rsely. “It doesn’t feel right. I’m able to

speak to you…maybe even shift. But I wouldn’t be strong or fast. I also don’t think I can use my

abilities… I’m useless.”

“You aren’t useless,” I told her my wolf firmly.

“It’s definitely a different type of wolfsbane…” she continued. “Or-”

“Dark magic,” I finished for her.

“Dark magic,” she repeated, confirming.

I didn’t understand why they’d want my wolf to still be active… but powerless.

“I just got an alert that your blood work is in,” Hannah said, turning away. “I’ll be back.”

She was only gone for a moment; I hadn’t seen her take out a phone or anything, so I wondered how

they alerted her so quickly.

She returned moments later with some documents in her hands. She was staring at them curiously and

then she frowned deeply.

“That’s something I certainly wasn’t expecting. However, it makes a lot more sense,” she said, glancing

at me like she was studying something before looking back at the documents. “I was curious about

that… oh well, I’ll have to speak to Jazzy about this right away. It shouldn’t be an issue… just might

need to tread. carefully going forward,” she said, shaking her head as she placed the documents down.

What was she talking about?

What made more sense?

“I’ll get the rogue guards to bring you back to the cell now. I’m done.”

Rogue guards?

They were using rogues?

I felt disgusted knowing rogues had their hands all over me. I squirmed uncomfortably but I wanted to

know what her earlier statement meant.

“What weren’t you expecting?” I asked. “What makes more sense? Is something wrong with me?”

She looked at me curiously, almost surprised looking.”Oh, you don’t know?” She asked, raising her

brows.” Know what?” I asked, aggravation clear in my voice.

“You’re pregnant,” she answered simply. “With twins.”
