‘Braden is getting someone to look at her. Both of you stay with her. Watch everything they do to her. We need to know what she was drugged with,’ I tell her.


    I hear a noise at the top of the stairs and turn to see Dr. Charles returning with a stretcher.


    I walk up to help him carry it down, then step out of his way while he steps into the cell.


    While he looks at Nancy, I move to the others in the cells.


    “Well, we know that Dorian here seems to know nothing, what about you, Corey? Do you know anything about what happenedst night” I ask him….


    He shrugs, just as arrogantly as Dorian did. “I was asleep. I didn’t hear anything.”


    “And you, Violet?” I ask, turning to her. “Do you know anything?”


    I watch her nce toward Dorian out of the corner of her eye before shaking her head no. I stare at her a moment longer, then turn back to Dr. Charles.


    <i>“</i>What have you got?”


    “Based on her temperature and rigor, I’d say time of death was between midnight and twelve thirtyst night.”


    I turn to Reuben and the two other guards. “What time did youe on duty this morning?”


    <b>豬 </b>


    “Four o’clock,” they say.


    “Did you notice anything unusual about Gabriel or Judith when you took over?” I ask. Since I have more trust in Reuben, I watch the other


    two.


    The first warrior, Caleb, shakes his head no. The other, Jack who <b>was </b>previously in the cells for attacking me, looks at him frowning.


    “Jack? Did you notice something off?” I ask.


    “Judith was kind of stumbling as she left, saying something about not feeling well.”


    “Oh yeah, that’s right. Judith is sick,” Caleb says, nodding as if he just remembered.


    “What about Gabriel? Was he sick?” I ask, already knowing the


    answer.


    “Nah, he’s tough as nails,<i>” </i>Caleb says,


    “Alpha, I’d like to get Nancy to the pack hospital so I can run more tests on her,<i>” </i>Dr. Charles says./


    “Let’s get her out of here,” I say, turning to the guards. “There are only three people left in the cells. Caleb, your off duty.‘


    ? \


    I already know he’s part of this. As soon as I have a chance to interview him, I’ll prove it. Until then, I don’t want him in the cells. Gabriel first, Caleb second.


    I look at my father and Shane. “I need one of you to stay with <i>Dr. </i>Charles.”


    “I’ll go. The council will be here soon. Shane, you need to be <b>avable </b>

    to meet with them,” my father says.


    “I’m sure they’ll want to talk to you too, Dad,” I say as we make our way back upstairs.


    “I’m guessing they’ll have a doctor as part of their interrogation team, so they cane to the packhouse and talk to me there.”


    I watch as my father and Dr. Charles take Nancy out of the packhouse via a stretcher. The entire packhouse goes quiet.


    I turn to look at them. “Attention everyone. Nurse Nancy was murdered in her cellst night. Believe me when I tell you that we will find the person or persons responsible for this and they will be dealt with. Please go about your normal duties. The council will be here shortly to begin their investigation.”


    They don’t need to know that the investigation is about their previous Alpha and Luna and will now include Nancy.


    As I start to walk to the conference rooms, I get a mind link from Enya.


    ‘Christian, Judith has wolfsbane in her system.‘


    Fuck.
