“How soon do we need to do the next one and which one needs to go? And when we get done with all of this I have so many questions.” They both smile at me, but I’m not sure if it’s indulgent like with a child being cute or if they actually like that I am curious.
“We will do the Oleander next. I believe you broke any love spells that might have been associated with that.” Gentry looks at the twins. “But any glamor will be a problem. We don’t know who else was designed to use it to hide their identity. That is to the southeast. Then we will focus on Belladonna to the northeast. Also for glamors. It seems someone really didn’t want you to notice their presence in your pack.”
“That might be how they got in to drop the body parts.” I look at each of my guys.
“That means those plants have been here for more than two years.” Cameron breathes over my shoulder.
“At the very least, maybe longer. If what the former Luna said is true, this witch, Adrielle, has been playing a very long game with you and your pack. Those plants are very mature and well cared for.” Elena looks at Gentry and they have a silent conversation. “We don’t think they have been here your whole lives though, but that is hard to tell.”
“As far as when, we want you to rest one more day and we will tackle the next crop. We should get the two that are dedicated to love potions and altering appearances before the twins turn eighteen, just in case something was designed to activate when you come of age.”
“That would be much appreciated, Thank you.” Dakota forces a laugh.
“The sooner the better since all five of you young men will be of age at that time. We can only guess at the possibilities and purpose of the spells…”
“We have to think like the enemy and gaining the Alphas and the entire new leadership would be high on my list of priorities. Do I have to stay here or can I go home?” I am tired all of a sudden, like someone cut the cord to my energy. I am done talking and figuring things out, like my mood just shifted and tanked.
“You can go, but I would like the four of you to stay together. We will gather you for the next spell release.”
“Were you able to do something with that wolfsbane patch?” Oliver asks and I just crumple back into Cam, the lethargy taking over.
“What’s happening to her?!” I can hear Cam, but I can’t respond or move.
“She is fine. Her body and mind finally decided to heal, it recognizes that she is away from the danger for now. Keep her close, let her sleep. You should all begin to heal now.
I am so not into any of this. My whole body hurts. “I don’t think I have been this sore since the time we were in the UK helping out and ended up in that turf war dispute.” I say to myself, not wanting to open my eyes. At least this time I know I’m in the packhouse, I know what happened, I know I’m safe. I just hurt like a b*tch.
“Yeah, well that turf war is going to seem like training with the pups when the real battle gets here.”
“How long have I been out, Jena? I don’t know why I worry about it really, I seem to have no concept of time when my body just wants to heal.”
She just laughs. “You have been here for a day and a half.”
“I thought Gentry said she was going to have me only sleep another day. What happened?”
“You wouldn’t wake up. Your trio were super pissed too, just so you know. They have been taking turns laying next to you, but only a couple hours at a time. They are super funny to watch, when did you add your moody man to the mix?”
“Stop! I didn’t add anyone to anything, but is Sierra around cause I do want to ask you guys something.”
“I’m sure when you tell her exactly that, she will come running no matter what or who she is doing.” We both laugh, and I mindlink my best friend. Sierra was right though, it took about three point two seconds for her to get to the bedroom.
“What’s up? Did you unlock a new power, like making all of the boys crawl around after you like slaves?” “You’re an idiot, you know that? Why on earth would I want anyone to crawl around and follow me?”
“And besides, they already do that. That wouldn’t be a ‘new’ power” Jena laughs again.
“Well, what was so urgent that I had to run all the way down here?!”
“You do realize that no one asked you to run, right? I literally said, ‘when you have time, I have a question.’ Yes, but you never ask questions, so that means it’s urgent!” She looks at Jena who nods.
