I wasn’t sure about all that, but I gave the note-taking dragon props for reading the room.
“We don’t have a lot of time to play with semantics,” Liam said. “If the story is to be believed, you have something to learn or realize or change.”
“Do we believe the story?” I asked him.
“I do. I have the Omega Sight. I’ve seen a lot of shit that I’m not going to go into right now. I’m here to help, but I can’t make anyone do anything. I can’t make you believe me or not believe me,” Liam sighed and massaged his palm into his forehead.
“He couldn’t have been too bad,” Dara chimed in again. “I mean, Frost wouldn’t save him if he were. I think we can trust Frost that much, if we’re going on the theory he did this.”
“Shadow work is never easy,” Liam said. “And that’s what the spell is. It’s about the shadow side and recognizing what we don’t recognize can hurt other people.”
“We can talk that part in circles all day, but we don’t know,” Scott said. “We don’t know that Frost did this for sure and we don’t know why he did it, even if he did. If anyone needs to learn they’re assholes, it’s the twins and I don’t see him turning them into pit hounds.”
I tightened my grip on him. His scent was turning from confused to frustrated and I wanted to sink my fangs into them all for making him feel that way.
“We all can be assholes,” Duke spoke up. “We’re not saying he’s like the guy in the story. Like you said, we know he wasn’t in a war.”
Liam sighed again and I shot him a dirty look.
“How about we don’t moralize it,” Liam tried again. “I hate this happened to you two when you first met, but I don’t want you two to be ripped apart again either. So, let’s start here. Dara, can you take Terrick to the clinic and look him over? Maybe try to convince him to get into the shower while he’s there?”
“Don’t talk about me like I’m a kid! I’m right here!” I snapped, my fangs poking out from my gums.
“We’re all under a lot of stress right now,” Dara said. “We’re worried. Liam’s worried. He’s the sort who takes on everyone’s problems and he can’t help it. Makes him a good first mate, but also runs up a therapy bill.”
“Dara!” Liam snapped, but then laughed.
“I’m going if Terrick goes,” Scott said, and I tightened my grip on him.
I wasn’t willing to be apart from him either.
“I want to talk to you,” Liam said, gently.
“Better talk nice to our mate,” the dog chimed off in my thoughts and I barely stopped myself from flinching.
This whole argument was about him, and I almost forgot he was still inside of me.
“I’m right here then,” Scott said. “Right here.”
“We need to talk to you alone,” Blithe said, glancing up from his kittens.
“Why?” Scott said, his scent turning red hot.
“Because I’m your damn brother and I have questions,” he sighed.
“You can talk to me in front of Terrick,” he shook his head.
“He needs to see the doctor and Liam said we don’t have a lot of time,” Blithe frowned, trying to keep his voice level.
“I’ll take good care of him,” Dara said, trying to sound reassuring.
“No one wants to hurt him, Scott,” Liam said, avoiding looking at me. “We’re all trying to help.”
Scott reached for his pocket but stopped short.
“We’ll work on getting your phone too,” Blithe offered up. “Who were you going to call?”
The siblings shared a look and then Blithe looked at Duke.
