Chapter 8

“TESSA! AMARI! Where is she? What is the meaning of this?!” I roar as I throw open the door to the office full of monitors. Amari and Jasen jolt up at my outburst. Tessa doesn't seem bothered and continues to look at the monitors.

“She insisted, Katherine. In case Iokaste is dangerous.” Amari holds her hands up.

“What? You said to summon her,” Tessa tries to justify with a growl. She is still looking at the monitor.
“Amari, can you and Jasen get the keys to Cora's suite and open it for the omegas so they can prepare it? She will also need your healing assistance later. We have lost Dante in this lifetime,” I request, trying to keep my voice calm.

“Of course, Luna,” the pair say in unison before leaving the room.

“I said summon, not kidnap, and lock her in the Waiting Room!” I snarl at Tessa, who continues to ignore me. Cora stands behind me, looking at us awkwardly.

I look at the monitor. Iokaste sitting in the center of the room with her knees pulled into her chest, contemplating something. She stands up and goes to the door. As soon as she touches it, a magical current courses through her body, throwing her back several feet, and knocking her out cold.

Tessa pushes a button on the desk, “Place her back on the cot please.”

The door opens and Alexandros steps into the room. He gingerly picks Iokaste up and places her on the cot. When he is sure she isn’t waking up, he steps out of the room, slamming the door behind him. As soon as the door is closed, Iokaste sits back up in the cot,looking around, confused.
 
“Oh my Goddess! How long has she been in there?” I hiss at Tessa in disbelief.

“Four days. I summoned her just after you left,” Tessa’s tone is nonchalant.
