CHAPTER EIGHTY FOUR

“Here?”

My knees feel weak for a moment, “Since when?”

Damon looks serious, “He was also poisoned. A few of my people found him and brought him here. He wasn't in good shape. Still isn't. Our healer has been working on him but he's barely holding on. I sent word to you four days ago but the messenger never came back.”

“I want to see him!” I’m on my feet but Damon steps in front of me, cautioning me.

“You should be prepared-“

“Prepared for what?” My voice is tense. “I just want to see my mate!”

Damon exchanges a look with Eric and then nods.

They lead me out of the tree house towards what looks like a large infirmary. Most of the beds are an occupied but I follow Eric into a backroom which has a lot of medical equipment. However, my eyes barely linger on them. They’re attached to a still figure on a bed.

From all intents and purposes, Lucas looks like he sleeping peacefully.

His presence is still within me, a gentle throb, faint but there.
