Show Mercy
Every person in that living room is staring at Das, most of them are her Squad members and they know their Captain well enough to understand that she has more to tell
“Doc, can you tell us what drug leaves behind the scent of cotton candy or sugarcoated marshmallows?” Das asks as she sits down on a <b>conch</b>.
Everyone who hadn’t taken a seat followed Das‘ lead to s down, and only her Squad members stood around the
Toom.
“That would be Synxapine. Well, actually theponent called Ibrazleine.” Doc answers her question.” Ibrazleine also causes short term memory loss, depending on the amount that is <b>in </b><b>a </b>drug, it can be hours or a few days.”
At least that exins to all of them why Daxton could never remember <b>what </b>happened that <b>night </b>and the amount wasn’trge enough to take away a few hours of memories.
“Doc, can you exin Synxapine is?” Das asks Doc, she wants to give him the chance to exin what it does to whomever got injected and that it had been a forbidden drug for centuries.
“It will render the victim motionless, he or she can’t <b>do </b>anything until the effects start to wear off. They <b>can’t </b>move or talk, it immobilizes a few specific motor functions in the body and has been ouwed for over <b>two </b>hundred and fifty years.
Every Pack has a small vial in their infirmary for educational purposes, it has the sweet <b>smell </b>we discussed earlier and it has a distinct signature in blood. But it can only be detected in blood within twelve hours of administering the drug.” Doc states.
Pablo shows everyone on the screen what he used earlier, what it would look like in <b>blood </b><b>and </b>how it reacts to blood.
“It is the Thohyde that causes the paralysis in the victim and usually wears off after <b>a </b>few hours, but a second dose will take longer to get out of your system. The victim will wake up feeling groggy, also an effect of the Thohyde.
Ibrazleine has another effect on the victim, it will push the shifter part into a deep sleep and neither one will be able to tell you for sure if the Shifter part was asleep.” Doc’s words make everyone dread this drug more and more.
Not one of them says a word or asks a question, they seem to understand that Doc isn’t finished yet and that the worst is toe.
“Anotherponent in Synxapine is Nakkoge, it has no real effect on the <b>victim</b>. It is a way to keep the effects of Ibrazleine to linger and there is a chance that the victim’s memory loss will be permanent, but only if the person who administered the drug knows how to make that happen.” Doc states.
“Hold on, Doc. Are you telling us that there is a way to keep someone from remembering anything?” Alpha Preston asks and Doc nods his head.
“Yes, if someone has been drugged with anything that holds Ibrazleine and Nakkoge, they can lose those memories for good Without the Nakkoge, a person will <b>remember </b>ultimately, but that might take years. That is why post prohibited drugs with Ibrazleine also have Nakkoge in them.
However, there is a way for the Nakkoge to get dissolved Only someone with a highly trained medical background would know, because not <b>every </b>nurse and Doctor gets taught about those <b>ancient </b>drugs.” Doc says to Alpha Preston.
Besides Doc, there is no one in that room with a medical degree and <b>that </b>leaves them with the following question:
who could <b>have </b>gotten the knowledge without studying medicine?
“How many Pack–members are aware of this information <b>Das </b>asks, because someone must have told Madeline what to use in this situation.
“At the moment just me, but Beta Landon knew. He was never meant to be the Beta and decided to study medicine. We ran the infirmary together until he had to take the Beta position and he knew even more about prohibited drugs than I do.” Doc answers her question.
Daxton and Darius both stare at their Mother, both suspecting that she got that information from their Father somehow.
Das wants Daxton to fully understand what their Mother did to him and turns to Madeline to throw thest blow.
“The only way for the Nakkoge to dissolve is for the victim to get marked by their fated Mate or as we call it now a days by a true Mate–bond.” Das reveals and she ces her hands on the arms of Daxton and Darius, stopping them from lunging at their Mother.
“Let the Elders <b>deal </b>with her, she has done more than enough damage and she needs to be removed from your lives. Another Squad is on their way to pick her up; the Elders will <b>watch </b>this footage and deal with her ordingly.” Das says as she lifts her head up towards Daxton.
He takes her silent hint without hesitation and lowers his head to kiss her, calming himself and Cyran down. Darius steps closer to Das to bury his nose in her hair, enjoying the feelings that run through their bond and not just the ones his Mare is feeling
“Mother, in case you failed to see it. Das is our Mate <b>and </b>we have formed a true Mate–bond with her. I remember everything from that night and I am done with <b>you. </b>You are no longer my Mother or my family and I <b>don’t </b>ever want to see you again.” Daxton says before he turns his back on her.
Madeline isn’t too worried about Daxton, he was never important to her. It is Darius that she worries about, she needs him to be on her side and to help her avoid punishment from the Elders.
Her pleading eyes lock with those of Darius, but all she sees is pure disgust and anger. She never thought she would see that look in her Son’s eyes, the Son she loved with all her heart, looked at her as if he hated her.
“Mother, I break whatever ties we had. You deliberately hurt my Brother, you plotted against him for years and now you expect me to feel sorry for you. I am with Daxton on this, you have gone too far and you are no longer my Mother.” Darius states before he turns his back on their Mother too.
Pablo makes sure that Madeline is watched until the other Squad arrives and he sends the recording to the Elders, making sure <b>that </b>her punishment will be harsh and long before she will be shown the mercy of death.
