I expected Dr. Baker to lock me in one of the recovery rooms with the padlocks that I had seen earlier. But instead, he examined me on a small table next to his desk in the corner of the large infirmary. He was assiduous as he went over the marks, examining them. Each touch was skilled and gentle as he handled my injured limbs. Was it because he was the pack doctor and had seen so much that there were very few things that rattled him or was it because he had mastered stoicism to an art form? I wasn’t sure. .

He examined me for a long time, looking at things that had nothing to do with what occurred in the library; it didn’t take me long to realize he was stalling me. From his office, I couldn’t hear what was going on in the library. After Dr. Baker finished with me, he escorted me back to the room, taking the back way, ensuring that I didn’t go past the library.

I waited until Dr. Baker’s footsteps had padding down the stairs. I took the stairs on the opposite side of the hallway and headed back to the library. Standing just outside the door to the right, I was hidden only by the open door from the next room. The debate was so emotionally charged, they were unable to keep their voices down. .

“So, if we retrieve the gem, this will all go away?” Sebastian’s edgy voice inquired.

“That’s a great big if,” Josh responded, frustrated. “I know Demetrius has it, but he has a protection spell on it. He’s using dark magic, and I can’t find it. I’ve tried several times today. Tomorrow, I’m going to talk to London. She is more skilled than I am in matters like this and may be able to remove the protection spell. Once we locate it, the rest is easy,” he admitted.

“Are you sure she will help? In the past, she always resisted assisting us,” Sebastian said.

“That’s before we helped her. She owes us, and I believe she will be relieved to no longer have that debt.”

He sighed, crossing his arms over his chest as he was drawn into his thoughts.

Josh watched him intently. “Sebastian,” Josh stated respectfully. “Storming in the vampires’ home and threatening them until they give you the gem won’t work. A battle like that will end with a great number of dead vampires but were-animals as well. We would be no better off,” Josh stated gravely.

“I am assuming that killing Demetrius won’t help either. Is it safe to assume anyone in his seethe can perform the ritual?” Sebastian asked.

He must have confirmed, because Sebastian made a frustrated sound.

“Then kill her,” Winter suggested calmly. “She is the most imminent threat. At least that will give us time to find the gem.” Her voice was far too casual for someone who was suggesting the murder of another being.

“She’s not the threat,” Steven interjected.

“Stop it with that load of crap! You can’t still believe she’s not a threat.
