“Love?” I hear Kyson‘s voice flit through my head, making me clutch it.
“Sorry, I will be up soon. You have a bad concussion,” he tells me, and I nod before remembering he can‘t see me.
Dustin taps my shoulder, and I look up. He holds a bottle of water out to me before passing me some pills.
“Painkillers,” he tells me, and I nod. He drops them into my palm, and I pop them into my mouth before he helps me tip the bottle to my l*ps so I can swallow them down.
“Where are you?” I mind–link Kyson trying to ignore how the mind–link feels like someone is drilling a hole in my head. I grit my teeth through it, and Dustin moves off the bed and wanders to my closet.
“I‘ll be there soon, but we found out some answers from Tanner,” he tells me.
“You‘re with Tanner? Where?”
“It doesn‘t matter where; I don‘t want you down here. I am sending Liam back up there to sit with you.
He is swapping places with Gannon for a bit; he is now on his way to me.” Kyson says when Liam interrupts the link.
“I will be up soon, my Queen. Just need to shower quickly.” Liam tells me before he cuts the link.
“I‘ll see you soon,” Kyson assures me before he, too, cuts the link abruptly, and I don‘t even want to know what he is doing to Tanner.
“Once you‘re up to it, I will send for something to eat. You should try to eat,” Dustin tells me.
“Shouldn‘t we be heading to the ballroom?” I asked.
“No, the storm is almost over. We just put those living in the east and south wings down there. The roof leaked, and the place got flooded. And a tree fell through the servant‘s quarters wall. We are unscathed here so far.“
“Yeah, it is blowing over, though now I know you‘re awake and okay. I might go down and help Clarice and check on Tandi if you don‘t mind?” Abbie tells me.
“No, of course, you didn‘t have to wait with me,” I tell her, and she raises an eyebrow at me as if that was the stupidest thing I had ever said. I roll my eyes, causing me to wince at the motion, and she laughs softly. Abbie leans over and p**sses her l*ps to my head.
“More than my life,” I whisper.
“Always more,” she replies before cradling Tyson and wandering toward the door. Dustin asks Clarice to have one of the cooks bring up a snack despite telling him I was fine and just thirsty. Only ten or fifteen minutes later, Liam walked in freshly showered. His hair was still damp as he strolled into the room.
He pecks Dustin on the cheek, who was watching me like he was waiting for me to drop to the ground as I pull Kyson‘s robe on; Dustin got from the closet.
“Kyson said you got some information from Tanner?” Liam bites his bottom l*p, and I raise an eyebrow waiting for him to answer.
“He was supplying the hunters and Vivienne with wolfsbane. We also found out the connection to the council and Ester,” Liam tells me. I sit back on the bed, and Dustin cracks his neck and yawns while tiredly stretching his arms above his head.
“What‘s the connection?” l yawn before glaring at Dustin. His yawning was contagious; I just woke up.
No way! should be tired. He smirks and shakes his head.
“So turns out when Garret kicked out Ester. He ordered Crux to take her for an abortion.” Liam tells me.
“He ordered Crux to take her?” I asked shocked. Liam nods his head.
“Yes, and Crux was to take her to Vivienne. She was known for her concoctions and could make a potion to aborta Lycan fetus,” he explains.
“How does that link to Tanner, though?”
“To abort a Lycan baby, they used to give liquid mercury and high doses of wolfsbane, Vivienne was out of wolfsbane, so Crux had to meet her supplier. That supplier was Tanner. Apparently, when Ester started working here, she was blackmailing Tanner for his little side business. They had an agreement that neither of them knew the other,”
“But she didn‘t have the abortion,”
“Yes, we know. Apparently, she cut a deal with Crux,” Liam tells me.
“What kind of deal?” I ask. Liam shakes his head.
“Tanner doesn‘t know. He just knows they have one,” Liam tells me.
