<h4>Chapter 468: 468-Feeling Unusual</h4>


    <strong>Clementine:</strong>


    By the time I was fully awake, I was sitting in Yorick’s bedroom.


    "I’m so sorry. I came as soon as I heard you were awake," Yorick said as he opened the door and rushed in, holding a tray full of food.


    "I don’t know, Yorick. What is happening to me?" I asked.


    "I was trying to walk, but my knees kept folding," I spoke to him, feeling miserable.


    I had never felt this way before. My feet were everything to me. Walking and running were some of my favorite things to do.


    So when I woke up and tried to get off the bed and my knees folded, I screamed until his warriors were alerted. They rmed Yorick and brought him upstairs.


    "Yeah, I’ll speak to my mother about your condition. When you arrived, my mother took a look at you, and she said it seemed like those people injected some kind of substance into you that could be poison. But do not worry, we will do everything to take care of you," Yorick exined as soon as he sat down on the bed across from me, cing the tray between us.


    "Wait, what kind of poison?" I asked, worried as I instantly began to remember my wolf going silent.


    At first, I thought maybe I was pregnant, but what if it was more than that? What if they gave me something that caused my wolf to go silent?


    "No, do not worry. It is not harmful. It only makes a person unable to move properly or do normal activities for some time," Yorick reassured.


    As he exined, I grew more anxious. I ced my hands over my face and sighed.


    "I need to speak with Ian," I told Yorick.


    Even as he tried to press a sandwich into my hand, I kept my hands behind my back, making it clear that I needed answers first, that I needed to see Ian.


    "Things are not going well. Ian and his father are dealing with many issues with the council, and Ian wants to stay beside his father for a while," Yorick exined. "I understand that you want to see him, and because you are here, you do not know how much is happening outside. So let’s help you heal first, and then Ian wille here, or you will go to Ian. For now, I do not know what to say. It isplicated." he paused.


    "Our pack border has shut down. People are afraid there are monsters going around. It is chaos."


    As Yorick exined what had be of the world, I grew panicked. I did not expect things to go this far.


    We were only trying to put dangerous people to rest, but I guess this was bound to happen.


    "What about Miss Rue? Yorick, I heard what she did to you," I said.


    I watched Yorick stare at me, almost in disbelief.


    "What do you mean?" he asked, sounding confused.


    "Come on, Yorick. I am talking about the false usations. Oriana and Miss Rue are the worstbination. I cannot believe anyone even listened to them," I continued.


    As I exined further, I saw his eyes widen in shock.


    "You never doubted me?" he asked, his eyes narrowing.


    There was a stillness in his posture that scared me. The calmness and the shock were deeply unsettling.


    "I do not understand, Yorick. Why do you look so confused?" I asked, watching him smile to himself.


    "That is because nobody else trusted me," he replied.


    The moment he said that, my lips began to quiver. I became overwhelmed. It had never happened to me before. I usually had control over my emotions, which was why I was worried about what was happening to me.


    "But I trusted you. The moment Ian told me about you, I knew it was a lie," I told him confidently, watching his smile return.


    "Anyway, I will tell everyone, the entire world, the truth about Oriana and Miss Rue. Do not worry," I added, giving him a mild smile.


    A confident smile spread across his lips, making me raise an eyebrow at him, as if asking whether there was something he wanted to share.


    "There is no need now. The truth hase out, and the entire world knows I did not lie, that I was innocent," he exined, coughing before straightening his back.


    He then began to exin everything to me, including the fact that Miss Rue had been thrown into the North. She would be fighting the monsters there, just as we had. It left me in shock.


    He also told me that during all of this, Miss Rue had scheduled a post that went up and exposed Oriana and herself.


    "I am so happy for you. Oh my God, I am really happy for you," I told him, smiling widely.


    "Now I will be even happier if you finish your food," he insisted again and I adjusted in my spot.


    "I need your help," I uttered softly.


    "Sure. Tell me, what is it?" he asked.


    "I need a pregnancy test."


    The moment I said that, his entire body froze.


    "Um, wait, why would you need a pregnancy test?" Yorick asked, smiling, though there was a nervous edge to it.


    "Yorick, why do you think women need to take a pregnancy test?" I responded, giving him an obvious look.


    "No, I mean, wait. You are just neen. I do not understand why you would..." He paused, as if he had run out of words.


    "Yorick, Ian and I have been sexually active. You know that, right?" I told him, not hiding anything.


    I wanted to tell him that we were married, but after asking for a pregnancy test and seeing his reaction, I lost the confidence to share that for the moment.


    "I am only saying this because you have been so sick. I do not want you to suffer more. Are you sure you are feeling okay enough for a pregnancy?" he continued, speaking quickly, saying things I was not fully sure how to take.


    Maybe he was worried because of the injections I had been given over time. That made sense.


    "I am fine. The truth is, it does not matter what they gave me. I still need to take the test," I finished.


    He finally nodded.


    "Fine. I will get you a pregnancy test, okay?" he replied.


    With that, he stood up and pointed at the food.


    "Please make sure you finish your food," he added before leaving the room.
