I smiled back at Erika. Even though my time back in Anemond had been nothing. short of turbulent and dangerous, knowing she had my back meant the world to me. I felt relieved to finally be able to tell her the truth. I didn’t have to sit with the guilt any longer.
Erika covered her mouth but didn’t manage to conceal her yawn. Her eyes started to appear a little distant. She looked exhausted.
“I’m going to go to the lab and get the medicine for you,” I said gently. “Why don’t you lay down and try to get some rest?”
I half-expected her to protest, but instead, she simply nodded and then laid. back down. I carefully tucked her in, and within seconds, Erika nodded off. As I rose

The maid meant more to me than just about anyone. I would do everything in my power to take care of her injuries.
I carefully cleaned the blood off of myself and then slipped out of the chamber. I would grab the necessary medicine for Erika and also pick up Finnick while I was there.

Erika was hurt.”
Finnick’s gray eyes grew wide and his lip trembled.
“Did Marco’s mother and grandmother hurt her?” he asked quietly. “Oh, Mommy, how could they do that to her?”
I considered my words carefully. I wasn’t about to traumatize Finnick any further or subject him to future trouble by saying this wrong. I didn’t want him to be complicit or held responsible for my actions.
“People… people are complicated,” I explained. “I know things don’t make sense. right now. I promise we’ll talk more later. But I have to get some supplies so we can get Aunt Erika some medical treatment right away.”
Finnick nodded.
“Everything is going to be alright,” I assured him. “I just need you to trust me. And when we get back to the room, I’m going to need you to stay as quiet as possible. Aunt Erika is going to be staying with us until she gets better, and she’s going to need all of the rest she can get. Can you do that for me?”
Finnick nodded again. “Of course, Mommy. I’ll help you look after Aunt Erika.”
I smiled and ran a hand through his dark hair. “That’s my boy. Thank you, Finnick
I rose to my feet and quickly rushed over to the supply cabinet. As I rooted through the salves and medicines, I considered all of the possibilities. I needed to keep her wounds from getting infected or else things could get quite ugly and painful.
Once I was done, I tucked them into my pack and then turned my attention to Becky and Lancel.

“It was no trouble at all,” Becky assured me.
Lancel hesitated and then glanced around. He took a step toward me.
“I had hoped Lord Kane would arrive in time,” he said vaguely.
I was immediately taken aback. I hadn’t expected that it was Lancel who’d asked for help from Asher’s stepbrother.
“My apologies for not getting to the Alpha King,” he continued as he rolled his shoulders back. “The king was busy interrogating the imposter in the dungeons and I didn’t want to bother him. The Alpha King has been quite busy lately…”
His voice trailed off and confusion swelled within me for a moment, and then I realized what he meant. Lancel likely didn’t tell Asher because he knew that if the king had gotten word of this, there would have been a huge fuss. The Alpha King was busy dealing with the imposter. Bothering him with business like this right now likely wasn’t wise.
I knew that Lancel was just remaining loyal to Asher, so I smiled at him.
