135 Preparations

~Sylvester~

Lucas arrived the morning of the following day. I had wanted to ask him to move in permanently, but his wife wouldn't have it, and I knew being in the mansion would make him remember my father and Theo's father. The ghost of what happened in Pridewood Inn still haunted him. novelxo Even though Larry had orchestrated everything, it still hurt that he was the one that committed the atrocity.

I received him at the entrance, and instead of pleasantries, he asked for my mother. He must have heard of what happened to Jake.

’She is in her room, uncle, but we have pending issues," I said, and he nodded.

I ushered him to my office and handed my responsibilities over to him. It was easy because he was already handling things before I returned from the East.

There was no way I could train for battle and handle royal matters at the same time. One had to give way for the other. He was the best person to substitute for me while we dealt with the issue.

I brought him up to speed on the events, novelxo and he was surprised at all that had happened within the short period we had arrived.

He was eager to check on Jake. I knew they had somehow become friends hence why he wasn't so receptive to Erik flirting with my mother. I hope Erik succeeds and Jake pulls through for all our sake, or it will significantly affect us.

Vino had informed me of the outcome of his session with Ighor, and we seemed to be on course.

Two days passed, and everything was going fast. The day of the battle was fast approaching, and we still had much to do. Uncle Lucas was doing a good job, but I couldn't focus because of Jake's predicament. Keeping my mother away from Erik's lab was becoming more complex. I knew it was wrong to sedate her, but Tamia and I had run out of lies to delay her. At the same time, we had a lot of things to do. I felt terrible about the situation, but I held on.

Claudia and her friends worked tirelessly with Erik. novelxo Nelson and the assistants were also working around the clock. Although the AgK32 was helping us sustain Jake, his body was building resistance to it quickly. It might not work after a while as things were going because a normal wolf can only handle so much. The fact that Jake developed a rash every time also worsened the situation. Giving up on him would be wise, but we had to wait until the last minute.

Katya had moved into my mother's room temporarily so she could be there when she needed her.

On my way to Erik's lab, I decided to see Gezel. She had requested an audience with me after she arrived, but I had been unable to see her because of all that had been happening. I decided to see her briefly before heading to Erik's lab.

"Amelia, where is your mother? Ask her to join me in my lounge," I linked Amelia.

"She is helping us make the poison darts, your majesty. I will ask her to join you," Amelia responded, and even though it was through the mind link, I could sense her fatigue.

Leo's mate needed to rest, but the woman was too damn stubborn to listen. Avery and Katya rested, but Amelia wanted everything over quickly, so she refused to rest.

"Darling, are you with Amelia and Gezel?" I linked Tamia.

"Yes. Gezel has been of great help to us. n.ove.lx.o Susan fell ill this morning, so Gezel is filling in for her. Amelia refused to rest, though, and she is stubborn about it," Tamia complained.

I would leave it for Leo to handle, but I doubted he
