he gripped his head , then looked up at me again . |
you really dont know , do you ? |
no . |
my friend might know his number because he called her . |
dont get anyone else involved . |
just make the cure for my father . |
who is your father ? |
i asked , my voice squeaking a little . |
the alpha of my pack . |
when he was injured , those loyal to my father tried to keep his injury hidden from the rest who would challenge him , but now many are realizing his weakness . |
if hes not cured soon , the man said and sighed , im afraid hell be challenged and killed . |
he turned his glare to me . |
and youre going to prevent that from happening . |
i blinked , unable to believe my ears . |
id poisoned the alpha of a werewolf pack , by putting freaking wolfs bane in the healing potion . |
man , oh , man ... i was so screwed . |
without another word , i went to the kitchen cabinet to which id returned my potion products the other day after treating ethan and my wounds . |
the werewolf came around the side of the island and watched me . |
i shivered under the scrutiny in his gaze . |
you store your witchy stuff with your pots ? |
he cocked an arrogant eyebrow at me , and i could see what the resemblance meant about his pack . |
hell , because of that fact , ethan might be a perfect fit . |
he had that same male arrogance about him too , sometimes . |
are your female werewolves this bad ? |
i asked , wincing at what id said the second it came out . |
with the arrogance , i mean . |
he narrowed his eyes at me . |
very funny . |
i leaned away from him , trying to see what i had and what id need to make a potion capable of working on a werewolf who was suffering from wolfs bane poisoning in addition to his other maladies . |
the guys glaring distracted me , and i frowned at him . |
if youre going to hover , then im not to blame for making another mistake . |
its hard to concentrate with you breathing down my neck . |
that wasnt your problem last time one of my pack came to you . |
the last time your pack member came to jessas shop , he said he needed a potion for lead poisoning and a wound . |
there was nothing said about him being a werewolf ! |
i couldnt believe this . |
here i was minding my own business , and now id had two werewolves barge into my life forcing me to craft potions for them ? |
both were needing on the same day to do the exact opposite things to their alpha wolf . |
now i knew why i didnt make potions for specific people who knew about my abilities . |
his face filled with dread . |
what exactly did you put in the potion ? |
wolfs bane is one of the ingredi he started to lunge for me but stopped himself at the last possible minute . |
why would you put that in there ? |
i looked at a few recipes for healing potions online . |
none of them called for it . |
i chewed my lower lip . |
thats your problem . |
you looked online . |
he made a rumbling growl . |
it works really well . |
it speeds up healing . |
at least for humans . |
i always put it in there , but only a touch . |
too much will kill even a normal human . |
the man who you met didnt ask what youd be using in the potion ? |
anger radiated through the werewolf , causing him visibly to shake . |
why would he have asked ? |
i was surprised this guy even knew half of what he was talking about when it came to magic . |
besides , he did a web search for magic potions . |
geez , the guy didnt even know about salves versus potions . |
however , if hed come to the shop , his father probably wouldnt be in this situation . |
damn . |
if id known this , i wouldve gone to the shop myself . |
they didnt inform me until the last minute , until i found my father near death . |
he twisted around , pacing across the kitchen floor . |
maybe they were trying to kill him ? |
mr . |
sexy wanted the poison . |
he had to be someone who the alpha knew and thought he could trust . |
however , who was i to make suggestions , when i didnt know the slightest about werewolves or their packs , except from what id readnot from the internetin books . |
he let out a low growl , and i shrank back . |
from the other side of the island , i heard an equally vicious snarl . |
my heart jumped in my throat . |
the thought to crawl into the cabinets and lock myself in had me searching for space . |
however , i wouldnt fit with so many pots here . |
mia ? |
are you okay ? |
ethans voice broke the impending silence , and i peeked my head around the island to see him blocking the open door . |
who are you , fledgling wolf ? |
the alphas son grabbed the back of my shirt and hauled me to my feet . |
ethan stiffened , so i shoved the alphas son off me . |
the last thing i needed was world war three on my hands . |
not when i knew just how violent ethan could be , even without the ability to shape shift yet . |
hed need a full moon to do that . |
for better or worse , the next one wasnt until mid-january . |
im fine , ethan . |
i took a step toward him , but the werewolf grabbed my arm , keeping me where i was . |
let her go . |
i wont ask again . |
ethan narrowed his eyes . |
id listen to him , if i were you . |
i stayed completely still , hoping we could all get along . |
i didnt have the necessary ingredients for the potion to stop the wolfs bane poisoning , so id have to go to jessas shop . |
looking at the clock , and with it being christmas eve , i knew she wouldve already closed . |
this just got worse and worse , didnt it ? |
ethan held up my phone . |
you dropped this outside . |
he closed the distance between us in a few strides , but the alphas son jerked me behind him . |
dont get too close . |
what is your business here ? |
