Chapter Ten

Ves

Moments after Raff left, a thunderclap of pain sent Ves to his knees halfway up the stairs. He clutched his head in blind agony until it abated enough for him to see, to breathe. He panted, trying to get to his feet and then gave up.

“What the hell was that?” he slurred. He turned and sat on one of the steps. Phone. His phone was in his pocket. He got it out, hands shaking, and managed to dial someone on his recent calls list. His vision spangled with stars of blinding pain.

“Hey, boss man. How’d it go?”

“Something’s wrong. I…something happened.”

“Boss?” Eddie’s voice was panicked. “Boss, I can’t understand you. Hold on. I’ll get someone to you.”

“Something’s wrong,” Ves tried again, enunciating as clearly as he could, but Eddie wasn’t there. Ves tried to focus on his phone. The line was still connected. Eddie must have put him on hold. Then he was back. “Annie’s on her way, boss. I’m staying on the line. I’m here.”

Before the last word was out, Ves heard the door open. Annette was in front of him before he could blink. She lifted his head, peering into his eyes.

“Ves? What’s wrong? What happened? Where’s Raff? What did he do?”

“Do? What?” Words were coming out easier now. “He left. He was here for an hour and then went back to work. He’s not there?”

Ves’s phone was making noises. Annette took it. “Eddie, he’s okay. I’ll call you back.” She hung up and passed the phone back to him.

“Ves, what happened?”

“I dunno. Felt like a truck hit me in the head. Still does. Raff was gone already. Wasn’t him. Where is he?”

Annette stepped up and teetered on the stair next to him. She gently turned his head to look at it, before moving back to where she’d been before. “I can’t see anything. And I don’t smell any blood. I did on the way here, though, but I couldn’t take the time to investigate. I had to get to you. Come on, let’s get you downstairs, and then I’ll go have a look.” She pulled him to his feet and wedged herself under his shoulder the best she could despite there not being a lot of room on the stairs.

“Raff. The blood. It must be Raff’s. Something happened to him. And I felt it.” Ves tried to turn to face his sister, but staggered. If she hadn’t held onto his tightly, he would have wound up on the floor.

“I know. That’s why I’m going to look.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“No, Ves. You aren’t in any shape to go hunting through the woods. You wait here. I’ll be right back.” She lowered him to a sofa as gently as she could and disappeared before he could argue.

Annette hadn’t found anything wrong externally, but he didn’t think the pain was physical anyway. He didn’t think it was coming from him. He was terrified the phantom agony was coming from his mate. What had happened to Raff?

“He’s not out there, Ves. I can’t find Raff.
