“Mates make it easier on each other, Maddie,” he said. “They can’t take something away. You used your powers to do it.”
Dimitri kissed my temple and took a deep breath.
“You didn’t have to do that, princess,” he said quietly. “I could have handled it.”
I leaned more into him and kept my eyes on Oliver.
“So that’s why I’m sick?” I asked. “I just probably need some rest then.”
Oliver nodded. “You do need to rest, Maddie, but I am still a bit worried.”
“Why?” Dimitri asked, tightening his hold on me. “She will be okay. She has to be okay.”
Oliver took a deep breath and nodded. “She will be just fine. She needs to spend a day in bed and she needs sleep.”
“Why are you worried then?” Will asked, making Oliver look at him.
“Because it is obvious that Maddie is having trouble controlling her powers,” he said. “She needs practice and we can’t do that with everyone here. We are risking exposure. No one can know who she is.”
Dimitri growled quietly and pressed me closer to him.
“No one can know,” Dimitri repeated. “No one will know. No one will touch her. I will kill them.”
He started shaking a little and I instinctively focused on his anger and fear. I was just about to take them away when he stopped me.
“Maddie, no,” he growled. “Don’t take it.”
I looked at him and he caressed my cheek.
“I am sorry,” I mumbled. “It’s instinct. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Dimitri kissed the tip of my nose and nodded.
“I know, princess,” he said softly.
“This is what I am talking about,” Oliver sighed, drawing our attention back to him. “You react on instinct and it can be dangerous.”
“Do you have any suggestions?” Ellie asked. “What can she do until the Alphas’ Meeting is over and she can start practicing?”
Oliver looked at me and I saw worry on his face. I knew that I wasn’t going to like what he was going to say next.
“There is a plant that could block her powers,” he said. “But there could also be some other side effects if she takes it.”
“What side effects?” Dimitri asked angrily. “She isn’t taking anything dangerous.”
Oliver looked at him and shook his head.
“I would never put her in danger, my King,” he said.
“What are the side effects?” I asked and Oliver looked back at me.
“You wouldn’t be able to use mind-link,” he said. “And you probably wouldn’t be able to talk to your wolf.”
A wave of nervousness washed over me. Skye stirred and whined quietly.
“Fuck no,” Dimitri said. “What if I am not with her? I want to be able to mind-link her.”
Oliver looked at him and nodded.
