A convenient side-effect of being the tamer of the Typhon was having a lot of knowledge about poisonous chemical compounds. Part of it was induced, things Typhon had taught me when our minds had connected. I’d cultivated that information, well aware of how useful and dangerous my secondary skill could be.

I had never expected to use it to identify a poison meant to force a miscarriage, but stranger things had happened.

We didn’t have a lot of time at our disposal, since my uncle’s patience would probably run out soon. He’d been surprisingly supportive about this whole thing, but that was just because he was under the impression Selene might be carrying my child. Dr. Bell hadn’t gotten the chance to ascertain the true nature of the pregnancy, so my uncle had taken me up on my word. That would help us, for now, but it would also draw unwanted attention from my father.

That made it all the more important to be sure Tanya Renard had truly intended to end Selene’s pregnancy. Thankfully, it didn’t take me long to verify that.

The blend of plants in the capsules shouldn’t have harmed Selene’s body. The intent had been to make her miscarry. But the herbs had had an unfortunate interaction with the energies the pregnancy emanated, leading to her whole biology being thrown out of whack.

Jared had been right to panic and to come here. If we hadn’t been informed about this, she could have very easily been killed.

“Well?” Selene asked as I set aside the scanner. “What’s the verdict?”

“I’m sorry, Selene,” I replied.

I didn’t expect her to take me up on my word, not after everything that had happened, so instead, I brought her my tablet and showed her a hologram of the atoms and particles that made up the capsules she had ingested. “These are the results from the test. Here is the biological structure of the compound in the medicine. And here is a simulation of its effects on you.”

The projected image was almost eerie, since it displayed the venomous substance enveloping her uterus and attacking the incipient cells of her baby. I felt horrible for showing her such a thing. But I had to believe in her strength and in her ability to understand and deal with the situation that was in front of her.

Selene pressed her lips together so tightly they went white. She didn’t say anything, but maybe it was better that way. If she had, we might have all fallen apart out of anguish and shame.

I had no right to hate Tanya Renard when I’d betrayed Selene too. I’d been the one to start this whole mess. If I’d been a better leader or had found another solution, she would’ve never been kidnapped by Jared in the first place. But I hadn’t, and I was well aware that her suffering was my fault.

Even so, I couldn’t accept the fact that her mother had turned on her at such a critical time. For good or ill, Selene had made her choice.
