She smacked his arm away. “Don’t you ‘sweetheart’ me. If you have put our daughter in danger, I’m going to castrate you.”
Ari frowned as he faced his brother. “What do you know?”
Kaspar shook his head. “Not much. Moore seems to think we’re going to stay here while he figures it out. Austri is getting the car.”
Jesska frowned, prompting Kaspar to pull her into the privacy of her bedroom, closing the door behind him. “Say what you need to say.”
“It’s dangerous.” She settled her hands on her hips. “You need to let Dalton do his job.”
“Jesska, I’m going to say this one time and then the conversation is done. My brothers and I are going to figure out who is threatening our family. I don’t give a damn about what the lawman says, you are not his to worry about. You are mine. Megan and Sophia are Ari’s. It’s family business, period.”
“I’m no one’s but my own, Kaz.”
He cupped her cheek. “You are mine, make no mistake about it. When one of my own is threatened, I deal with it.”
“You’re so freakin’ bossy.”
“Baby, what do you need me to say? I’ll say it and then I have to go.” He glanced at his phone and then answered it before she could respond to his question. “Austri.”
“Mr. Shane is here.”
“Does he have Ása?”
“Já.”
“Send them up to Jesska’s room, please.” He hung up and found Jesska tapping her foot. “What?”
“Her name’s Sophia.”
“It’s not actually.”
“Whatever.” Jesska yanked open her door and stormed back into the living room.
Kaspar followed just as Austri arrived with Cameron and Ása... and as Megan collapsed on the floor, groaning in pain.
“Mom!” Ása squeaked, kneeling beside her. “Someone call an ambulance.”
Ari joined his daughter on the floor and laid a hand on Megan’s forehead. “Your medicine can’t help right now, daughter.
“Ert þú bundinn henni?” Kaspar bellowed. (You bound her?)
“What does ‘bound’ mean?” Ása asked.
“I’ll explain later,” Jesska said.
“Það hjálpar ekki,” (It couldn’t be helped) Ari responded as he lifted Megan in his arms. She whimpered in pain, as he carried her to Jesska’s bedroom, Ása worried and following behind.
“Yes, it could have been helped Ari, you selfish—” Kaspar snapped.
“I don’t have time for you, brother,” Ari said, and closed his family into the room.
“What happened?” Jesska asked.
“I don’t have time to explain, elskan.” He pulled out his phone and stepped into the hallway, leaving her seething in the room.
“What do you want now?” Kade answered, sounding irritated.
“What happens to a human woman when she is bound to a Kalt Einn?”
