It was my turn to change the subject. “Do you know why I feel so weak?”
“Weak?” The wrinkles on his forehead deepened. “No.”
Great.
“No one survives heat without sealing the bond, remember? We’re in new territory here. You two are legends at this point. Don’t be surprised if a few members of the thunder show up to question you. We both know August won’t answer any of their questions.”
If he wouldn’t, I wouldn’t either.
“I’ll need something to tell Vi and Randa when they get home and find me struggling to get off the couch,” I said.
“What do you mean, struggling to get off the couch?”
“I told you, I feel weak. My legs are super shaky. They have been since I woke up. I thought I was going to crash on the stairs earlier.”
“Give me a second.” He grabbed his phone and tapped on the screen a few times, then lifted it to his ear. It wasn’t on speaker, but my hearing had improved just a little bit with August’s magic too, so I could hear it ringing clearly.
“What?” An irritated male voice answered.
I was pretty sure it was Jasper’s.
“We’ve got a problem.”
“More of a problem than having our oldest brother in prison?”
Eli glanced over at me.
I tried to act like I wasn’t overhearing anything, simply taking yet another bite of my donut.
“Yeah,” he finally said.
Jasper growled. “What is it?”
“Elodie feels weak.”
There was a moment’s pause.
“Weak?” Jasper asked. “What do you mean, weak?”
“She says her legs have been shaking ever since she woke up. She’s having a hard time walking.”
“Is August’s magic wearing off? I figured he would’ve bitten her before he left.”
Eli glanced at me again. “He did. Twice.”
“Then she shouldn’t be weak.”
“Nope.”
“It’s got to have something to do with heat ending.”
“That’s what I was thinking. Figured I’d better get a second opinion, given we’re dealing with August’s mate.”
“Yeah,” Jasper grumbled. “Try to get to the bottom of it. If you can’t get it figured out, I’ll head into the prison to see if August knows anything. If I start asking questions, he’ll realize something is up, so I’d rather avoid that.”
“Agreed.”
“Call me in a few hours.”
