“Her body goes through a conversion and it’s extremely painful.”

“Skít,” Kaspar hissed. “This is what I was afraid of.”

“Who has been bound?”

“Ari bound Megan.”

A shuffling sound and quiet arguing interrupted the conversation briefly.

“Hello? This is Samantha, I’m Kade’s mate.”

“I know who you are,” Kaspar said. “Thank you for helping with my brother.”

“You’re welcome,” she said, and he could sense her kindness. Perhaps it was the deep southern American accent, or the fact that she sounded like she was smiling. “If you have any questions during the conversion, would you or Ari please call me? I’d be happy to help.”

“And how does Kade feel about that?”

“I plead the fifth.” She chuckled. “I’m going to text you my phone number. Please call me. I can help walk you through it.”

“I appreciate that,” Kaspar said. “I should go now.”

“Do you need to speak with Kade again?”

“Absolutely not.”

She giggled. “Chicken.”

Kaspar couldn’t help a smile. “Thank you, Samantha. Truly.”

“It’s my pleasure. We’ll talk soon.”

He hung up and headed back into the suite. Stepping into the bedroom, he filled Ari in on what Samantha had said, gave him her phone number, and then focused back on Jesska.

“How did you know he bound her?” Jesska asked.

“When mates are bound we know. It’s a vibration of sorts, I suppose.”

“Oh.”

“I have to go, elskan.”

He could see she was trying not to cry. “Go, then,” she ground out.

Kaspar kissed her quickly and then followed Gunnar out the door. Austri had the car waiting for them, and they managed to pick up Cameron’s trail in relatively quick fashion. If Dalton Moore wasn’t going to tell Kaspar where to go, he figured Cameron would be heading to the same place.

Jesska pushed open her bedroom door to find Megan writhing in pain on her bed. Sophia was inconsolable at the state of her mother, and Ari was carefully removing Megan’s clothes, in an obvious attempt to make her more comfortable.

He glanced up at Jesska. “We’ll need cold towels, and ice, if you have it.”

Jesska nodded. “Soph, you want to help me?”

“Um...”

“Sophia, come on, honey, let’s go get some stuff for your mom.”

Ari stroked Sophia’s face. “Farðu og hjálpaðu frænku þinni, litla. Mamma þín þarf að kæla sig niður.” (Go help your aunt, little one. Your mama needs to be cooled down.)

Sophia nodded and followed Jesska into the bathroom.
