there was still cyanide in my system. It shocked the doctors and nurses that I survived ingesting an astronomical amount of poison.

However, I knew that if I died again, Selene would just toss me back to Earth again.

Adonis was cuddled at my side when I woke up, curled in a ball with an arm over my stomach. Raina revealed that he wouldn’t leave my side. My heart fluttered like bird wings. Raina stayed by my side all night, too. Deep happiness sprouted underneath the soil in my heart. I appreciate my sister and my nephew staying with me.

Adonis said he did it to protect me from the bad people who wanted to hurt me. Oh, little guy, I’m the one doing the protecting!

After they left, Dr. Jackson and Nurse Amara came in to draw more blood and to check my vitals. I never liked Dr. Jackson. He was the doctor that did nothing to treat my injuries when I was a slave. Many wounds and cuts festered and got infected because of his improper care. Now, he was making sure my stay in the hospital was as comfortable as possible.

I must stay for a couple of days before I’m cleared for discharge. That means I’ll get many visitors. Including my favorite ones! My friends were camping out in my room with Criminal Minds blaring from the television. They brought takeout too! I may be sick, but not sick enough to indulge in Chinese chicken dumplings!

“Your Alpha is going to kill the bartender who poisoned you by the end of the week,” Galen revealed, chopsticks digging at his noodles.

“He’s not my Alpha, Gal.” I rolled my eyes. “As for the bartender, I heard she confessed to the crime. But I don’t know if killing her would serve any justice. I’m still breathing.”

“You’re laid up in that hospital bed because she laced your drink with enough cyanide to kill a cow,” Jackie replied, folding one leg over the other. “The bitch deserves it for hurting you.”

Okay, I know she deserves punishment for what she did, but I feel as though there was something else going on. This was bigger than Emily. I remember that blond bartender, but our interactions before that were non- existent. Why would she want me dead? The only person who I knew hated my guts to the point of harm was

Odessa.

But was she capable of taking me out? I don’t know.

“Neron worked fast. I admire that.” Sapphire hopped on my bed. She was careful not to snag herself in the IV tubes. “He wasted no time hunting Emily down and securing the crime scene. Gamma Kwame found the glass with her fingerprints. She didn’t clean it in the chaos.”

“That’s so sloppy,” Darien grunted, scooping up some rice. “Speaking hypothetically, if I wanted to poison

“Maybe she’s dumber than we originally thought.” Jackie shrugged. “She’s a blond.”
