Helanie:
My mom and the others took the babies to Norman's room. They decided to care for them there, while Norman and I stayed in the living room with Lord McQuoid.
"Helanie, I don't think it would be wise for you to go there. Don't you know how the curse ends?" Norman said, reminding me that the end of the curse meant Maximus would have to kill me.
"Norman, what if there's a way to delay it just a little, until we find another way to stop it?" I asked, watching him shake his head with his hands on his waist.
"There's only one way to stop it, Helanie, and you know that. He has to kill his mate or his baby. And the baby's arrival in such a short time, don't you think it's strange? The risk is too high," Norman grunted, standing in the doorway, almost daring me to try and rush past him. I had no intention of doing that. I wanted to take them into confidence and get their agreement before I left.
