“But I can see them, right?”
“I don’t know,” he admitted. “I need to know who took your girls first. Ari doesn’t know, and I’m concerned that if you’re not under my protection and your brother’s, that something will happen.”
She blinked back tears. “You’re probably right. This just sucks.”
“I agree.”
Megan crossed her arms. “You said Ari dosed the family with something. What is Red Fang?”
“It’s a native flower than can render us paralyzed.”
She dropped her head in her hands and groaned. “Why would he do that?”
“I can’t answer that.”
“Is he reachable?”
Kaspar shrugged. “I can’t answer that either.”
“What do you mean? How do you know he’s in Edinburgh if he’s not reachable?”
Kaspar rubbed his forehead. “Whether or not a phone call can be put through is at the mercy of the Cauld Ane leader. He isn’t happy with my brother, and quite frankly, I don’t blame him. Ari threatened Kade’s whole family.”
Megan blinked back tears again.
“Hvað, systir?” (What, sister?)
“I just wonder what would have happened if I’d never left. I should have stayed and worked it out.”
“You couldn’t have known, Megan. Don’t beat yourself off.”
Megan giggled. “Up. Don’t beat yourself up. The other means something entirely different.”
Kaspar smiled. “I’ll try to remember that.”
“Could we please try to get a call through?” she asked. “I feel like I need to make a few things right.”
“Of course,” he said, pulling out his cell phone. “Before we do that, though, I have a question about your relationship to Jesska.”
“She’s my sister.”
“By blood?” he asked.
“Well, no. Her father... our father... adopted me when he married my mother. It’s complicated. My biological father died soon after my mother became pregnant with me, and she met my “dad” when I was about three months old. I was one when they married and they had Cam, then my mother died and he remarried. Jesska is theirs together... it’s very complicated.” Megan raised an eyebrow. “Why?”
“Curious,” he said, and dialed Kade’s number.
“Bloody hell, Kaspar. Again?” Kade snapped.
“Good morning to you,” Kaspar retorted.
“Aye, ’tis morning, and bloody early. What do you want?”
“I have someone who would like to speak with Ari. Will you arrange it?”
“Who?”
“That I can’t elaborate on,” he said, glancing at Megan, who frowned.
