Chapter 20: Ayla

I woke up feeling surprisingly well, and I slept even better. Mina and I had spent the evening together, and before going to bed, she administered the next dose of wolfsbane. I didn’t go to sleep until I started to feel the effects. The dosage was higher, but I didn’t feel it as strongly as before, which was hopeful. I had expected the nausea to keep me up but there wasn’t much. So, once the lightheadedness became too frustrating, I went to bed.

The effects had completely worn off by the morning, and I took it as a good sign. I was able to talk Mina into giving me another dose before she left. But only if I promised to take a break for her mating ceremony over the weekend. I had no problem complying.

“I can live with that,” I said. “Besides, if it keeps going this well, we’ll pretty much be done by this weekend.”

“Well, let’s hope so,” she said. “How is Dasha doing with this whole thing?”

‘Getting stronger,‘ Dasha answered.

I smiled. “She’s doing amazing. I haven’t even lost her once. After that first dose, she had a rough time yesterday, but she powered through like a champ.”

“That’s just so crazy,” Mina said, obviously impressed.

“You know, this means you could do this, too,” I said. “You have this immunity also.”
