Her entire arm turned black momentarily, the veins bulging beneath her skin before receding, as though the poison was retreating to its colP. What is this" the King demanded. He rumed to Thomas "You're the expert in these matters. What is happening to her?"

Thomas clenched his fists, his jaw tightening as he forced himself to respond. "This is no ordinary poison," he said. "It reacts to interference. It's as if it's been designed to counter any attempt to heal her, but-Thomas clenched his jaw. "But it is already going out of her system."

Thomas knew he had miscalculated. Fiona was using his interference against him, munipulating the poison to create a spectacle he hadn't anticipated. He had planned to use her unconscious state as leverage to take her back to the pack, but now the was turning the situation to her advantage

Elijah's glare pierced through him. "Help her?" Elijah ordered.

Fiona's body was fighting back, her healing ability accelerating now that the poison had been forced into retreat. Slowly, the black veins receded, the darkness fading from her arm as her natural color began to retur

"And if you hadn't interfered, would it have been this painful for her?" Thomas stiffened but didn't respond immediately. "I did what was necessary," he said. "She's alive, and the

Thomas inclined his head slightly, masking his frustration behind a practiced facade of calm. "It was my duty as her father, Your Majesty," he said. "But as I said, she must rest. Moving her now
