"A trap?" I snapped, my patience instantly snapping in half, as I took a heavy step into the room, slamming the door shut behind Aidan so hard the glass in the windowpanes rattled. "Are you out of your mind, Adrein? We don't have time for your hysterical bullshit right now! Daniel is standing at the bottom of the stairs waiting for us!"
"I am not being hysterical, Davian!" Adrein yelled back, his voice cracking with pure desperation, as he was leaning heavily against the bedpost, clutching his chest with one hand while pointing at Maria with the other. "Look at her! Touch her skin! I am telling you, her wolf isn't just weak—it's being poisoned!"
Aidan froze beside me, his dark eyes shifting from Adrein to Maria's deathly pale face. "Poisoned?" Aidan repeated, his voice dropping into a low, lethal register. "What the hell are you talking about, Adrein? The pack doctor has been the only one in and out of this room."
