CHAPTER TWOHUNDRED-ONE-3

“I’m just so tired,” she said, her voice a low, weary whisper. “So, so tired.”

“I know,” I said, my voice a low, soothing rumble. “I know, Hailey. I know.”

*Promise me something,” she said, her voice a soft, tired whisper.

“Anything,” I said, my voice a rough, raw whisper.

“If anything happens,” she said, her voice a low, trembling whisper. “Promise me you’ll take care of Liam. Promise me you’ll protect him. Promise me you’ll tell him I love him. That I’ll always love him. Promise

me.”

“Nothing is going to happen,” I said, my voice a low, fierce snarl. “I’m not going to let anything happen. Nothing is going to happen. I promise. I promise you.”

“Promise me, Dom,” she said, her voice a quiet, trembling whisper.

“I promise,” I said, my voice a soft, solemn whisper. “I promise, Hailey.”

Her eyes fluttered closed, her body relaxing, the tension finally draining away. I watched as she slept, her face finally free of the worry, the pain, the fear. My heart ached as I looked at her, and for a moment, just a brief moment, I could forget. I could forget the danger, the lies, the deceit.

For a moment, just a brief moment, we were just two people. A man and a woman. In love.

But then the moment passed, and the harsh reality came crashing back.

I walked downstairs to where the maids and cooks were being held, and the moment I entered the room, all eyes were on me.

“Who has been in charge of Hailey’s herbal tea leaves?” I asked, my voice a low, growling rumble.

Several maids exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

“Are you all fucking deaf?!” I banged the table, making them jump. “Who has been in charge of her herbal tea leaves? Who had the most access to it? WHO?! And don’t fucking lie to me!”

The maids looked around, a mixture of fear and defiance in their eyes. But then, a small, timid voice spoke

“I have,” a young maid, a wolf shifter named Lucy, said. “I’ve been in charge of Hailey’s tea leaves since she arrived. But I swear, sir, I had nothing to do with this. I would never do anything to harm Hailey. Or your

baby.”

I narrowed my eyes at her, the rage in me boiling over. “You’ve had the most access,” I growled. “So if this isn’t your doing, why are you protecting the ones responsible for this?”

“B-because I don’t know who it is, sir. My job is just to prepare the tea. Then any one of the maids would go serve it to her in her room.”

were out to find out I growled, the anger in me flaring

I turned to the other maids, my eyes narrowing

“Now, you’re all going to sit here and watch. And if you lie, or if you even fucking think about lying, I’m going to know. And you’re going to pay for it. Dearly. So, tell me, which one of you served the tea to Haley!

The maids looked around, but no one spoke.

“Fucking answer me I roared, slamming my fist on the table. “Answer me, or so help me god, I will rip you to fucking shreds. Who has been serving her the tea? Who?

“I have a young maid, a human, named Rachel, spoke up. “But I swear, sir, I had nothing to do with this. I would never hurt the Luna. Or your baby. I swear.”

She looked innocent, but looks were deceiving Rachel and Lucy were suspects. They were the only two people that had access to her tea. If they were guilty, they would both suffer a brutal punishment.

“Take them to the holding cells,” I said, the anger in me flaring. “Punish them until they are ready to confess. It’s definitely one of them.”

Carlos nodded.

“You heard the Alpha,” Carlos said, his voice a low, menacing rumble. “Take them to the cells.*
