"Call him again," Veron instructed Skye for the fourth time that evening.
After everything Cozan told him about what happened to Karina and Nori, and also about the location of the place they were taken and were currently at, it took a lot of convincing from Skye and Gideon to stop him from heading there immediately.
Having called Gideon already three times, and knowing he was already on his way back, Veron still couldn't relax. He didn't trust the witches. He couldn't trust the inn or the owner. He couldn't trust anyone at that moment. Unless and until he has Karina within arm's reach, he didn't think he could calm down.
Skye didn't hesitate to pick up the phone. At that point, he would not object to anything the alpha wants as long as it would keep him in the house. Veron has royal blood flowing in his veins, and to some extent, the royal blood of Silver Lake has resistance to magic and poison.
The side story is out come and read.
