My plan worked. I thought I was in the clear.
But roughly a month after we received the ‘antidote’ Eda started getting weak again. This time, I went to the spot where I dropped off the blood. Furious that they tricked us.
My brothers were so happy. I just want to guarantee that Eda lives. She’s amazing and would the perfect Luna for the Scarlet Pack.
Flicka showed up. I could see the resemblance between her and Eda. I glare at her, but she puts her hands up as she walks towards me and says, “I’m not here to hurt you.”
“What kind of trick was that?” I snap at her, “Don’t you realize the danger that your daughter’s in?”
Her face looks exhausted as she says, “Of course I know.”
I notice the dark circles underneath her eyes, the bruises peeking out from her collar and peeking out from her sleeves. I ask, “What’s going on?”
