Dahlia's POV
"Where is that nurse?"
I had seen her with Gina before, they seemed pretty close. If anyone knew anything about the black lily or its antidote, it had to be her.
Two guards dragged the head nurse into the room. She was pale as a sheet and shaking. Something about my encounter with the dark entity gave me the ability to know things I wouldn't normally know.
"The antidote," I said, stepping right up to her face. "The stuff for the black lily poison. Give it to me right now, or I'll let the Alpha handle you."
"I…I don't—"
"Don't test me!" I snapped.
She fumbled in her pocket and pulled out a small dark bottle. "It has to go slow," she whispered. "If you go too fast, he won't shift back."
I snatched the bottle. "Get her out of here. Lock her up."
I turned to Axel. Nate was standing at the end of the bed, his knuckles turned white as he gripped the metal rail. He looked smaller than I'd ever seen him.
"Dahlia," he whispered. "Is he going to make it?"
