My hands trembled, but I took a deep breath. "I need hot water, not boiling. And salt. A lot of salt. And black wormwood, if there is any in the kitchen." The Alpha stood beside me. I felt his gaze. "Do what she says," he ordered the others. His voice allowed no argument. Marcus and Elias moved immediately. Within minutes everything was there. I began to work.
