"She was the perfect target." The sound of lips meeting, of bodies moving together, made bile rise in my throat. "But Damien, how were you able to do it?" Jessica's voice was breathless with more than just pleasure. "You told me we could get her inheritance and the life insurance payout once the wolfsbane killed her, but I never thought you could actually poison her so thoroughly." "Small doses of wolfsbane extract mixed into her food and drinks over months. I even convinced her that the healer's treatments were making her worse, so she'd skip doses of the antidote.

I felt an intense pain in my chest, yet I held onto the doorframe to prevent myself from collapsing. "Good thing Father also helped by paying off the healer," Jessica added. "Making her believe that only a mate bond could cure her at this stage, when really, consistent antidote treatments could have saved her life. But that would have been expensive, and why waste the resources on an adopted nobody?" "Exactly!" Damien agreed. I could no longer take it.
