Amalthea's POV "Will you wipe off that grin from your face?" Jade shook her head at me as she helped me fold some of my clothes into a box I would take with me to the conference.After the bonfire, I had sought Jade out and apologized for being rude to her and pouring out my frustrations on her. She has also offered her apologies for leaving me by myself all night and just like that we were friends once again."There is no grin on my face." I argued as I failed miserably to keep my face neutral and devoid of emotion."Who would have ever thought Nic could get you to smile and be so giddy?" She teased."I'm not giddy because of Nicholson. I'm just happy I get a change in scenery and I get to see the famous capitol." I shrugged, lying through my teeth."You aren't fooling anyone Thea." She snorted and I knew she didn't believe me, it didn't seem believable even to my ears.How could I explain to her that after the bonfire Nic and I had reached a truce and for once, I was looking forwar

Nicholson's POV "You'll have to go without her Nic." Callum told me cautiously as I paced in my office."What?" I stopped in my tracks and turned to him.I had left Amalthea and the doctor in my room for close to an hour following Jade's outburst and now I was beyond restless. I wanted to know what was going on, I wanted to know how she was doing and whether she would be alright."The peace conference. You have to go alone." Callum clarified, dragging me out of my thoughts."Why are you even thinking about that now." I glared at him."Because for some reason you aren't stable or thinking rationally." He retorted and I grunted in response because I knew he was right.What was wrong with me?"I already have everything ready for your departure tomorrow morning. I'll be sure to inform you on any news we have about Thea's condition." Callum continued and my wolf growled within me."I'm not going anywhere until I'm sure she is fine." I informed him.Callum didn't say anything else, but his

Amalthea's POV "Since when did you start slurping?" Jade giggled as I took another spoon of my chicken soup."I did not slurp." I protested and she snorted."When do you finally think Nic will let me back into my room?" I asked after a moment.It had been three days since I got poisoned and I was considerably better now after the shock of what happened wore off.I was still somewhat confused.Who could have poisoned me and why?"I think he's just really enjoying having you in his space and he isn't ready to let go of that just yet." Jade’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts.Nicholson had been uncommonly attentive to me in the last three days and he always hovered around me, making sure I was doing alright."Don't exaggerate Jade, I'm sure he just wants me to get better." I shrugged, trying to play it off but she wasn't buying it."The man has lost his damn mind Thea. He went to the kitchen and inspected the whole place, he made sure to taste everything brought up here before you d

Nicholson's POV I let go of the man and turned to Amalthea."Shouldn't you be in your room resting?" I growled at her but unlike the kitchen staff, she was unfazed.That was one of the things I liked about her, she was always so strong and never intimidated despite her small frame."I was heading there when I heard a commotion down here and decided to see what it was about." She informed me."Can we talk for a second?" She asked and reluctantly, I nodded.As I walked out the Kitchen I heard collective sighs but I ignored them and followed Thea to my study.Callum gently closed the door behind us and rubbed a palm over his face."You need to stop terrorizing the staff, Nicholson." Thea said."I'm not terrorizing them, I'm trying to find out who poisoned you." I countered."There are less forceful ways and more interrogative ways to do that." She argued."This is the most effective." I shrugged. Fear always brings out the truth...always."I think I should take over finding who did this

Amalthea's POV Footsteps approached my bed and I held my breath. I clutched my chest as my heart raced within me.Could it be the person who had tried to poison me? Did they come back to finish the job?My heart almost leaped out of my chest when my bed dipped as the person sat beside me on the bed. I waited as silently as possible but the person made no move at all. A few seconds later the duvet covering my head was brought down to my chin and I willed my eyes not to twitch as I pretended to be asleep.A familiar scent invaded my nose and I wondered if I was hallucinating.I itched to pull open my eyes and see who it was but my rational side scolded me. What would I do if it wasn't Nic?How could I possibly be thinking about Nic at a time like this?When my potential murderer was sitting on the same bed as me? This was madness.A cold finger touched the side of my face and caressed all the way down my cheek and I shivered at the contact as sparks erupted within me."I know you are a
