beloved. I know this well.”
    “I know. I saw that when Mrs. O’Hagan almost died,” I agreed with a sigh. “She’s a good woman. But her sons are wild animals. Part of me wants to execute them. They could have killed Bevin and obviously they can’t fucking control themselves.”
    “It’s more complicated than that,” Riley hedged.
    “Whatever, I have to go deal with this,” I bitched. Ferris and Onah were on their phones giving orders to the security at the palace. I watched as the bag hooked to Bevin’s IV finished and nodded to it. “We can go?”
    “Yeah, let me get Ronan’s blood ready for you.” Riley went to say more but then closed his mouth and shook his head. Wise choice. I wasn’t in the mood to listen to excuses.
    “Car’s coming now,” Onah told me a moment later. I nodded. Good. I hadn’t even thought about that. The portal would probably be closed now, but I was glad he thought to check and figure it all out.
    “Onah, you need to warn Magdalena that there’s a line here that can’t be crossed,” I said quietly when he got off the phone. I saw Ferris’s head snap in my direction, both my mates looking at me with shock.
    “What do you mean, my love?” he asked.
    “Brio is mated to two of the O’Hagans, and he is like a nephew to her. I’ve heard her say that. She cannot cross me on my order to lock down the palace. She opens a portal and brings people in against my decree and things will start to fall apart real fast.”
    “I don’t think she would ever do that,” Onah hedged.
    “I don’t either but we’re also friends, so she might think someone was left off the list or not pay attention to it because they’re with her. I don’t know but now is not the time to take that chance, is it?”
    “No, no, it’s not,” Ferris agreed. “Fuck, this is bad.”
    “No shit,” I sighed. “And I need to see Caven. The wolves have got as much to lose on this as we do. Fuck. Talk about splitting the line on this.”
    “I feel a headache forming already,” Onah said as he prepared Bevin to be moved. I couldn’t have agreed more. I really couldn’t.
    Twenty minutes later we were back at the palace, Bevin secured in his room and guards in there with him, stationed outside the door, and at several points throughout his corridor. I wasn’t taking any chances. The only guards were ones I knew personally… And no vampires were to be left alone or in Bevin’s room just in case.
    When I got to the throne room, the chaos had already ensued.
    “Rylan, what are you doing?” Magdalena asked me quietly, disapproval in her tone. I stared at her a minute and decided to cut all the political shit and just have it out.
    “I love you, you know that, right?” She blinked at me a moment and then slowly nodded. “You’re like the cool aunt or family member you can talk about anything with that’s always there for you and brings you the neatest gifts and toys.”
    “I appreciate the sentiment and love you too but I’m not sure what that has to do with what’s going on right now,” she hedged.
    “I’m making sure you know that before chewing your ass out for giving me that look in my throne room and using that tone with me. This is serious shit, Magdalena. Bevin could have been killed. My people don’t have enchanted blood that protects them. Fuck, we have blood that’s enticing to the vampires. I now have thousands of them living with vampires.
    “Our numbers were more than I thought before I became King. I have over three thousand people who rely on me to keep them safe. Apparently when I was told the numbers previously, they were of the wealthy margays, as if the regular ones didn’t count. Either way, they all depend on me not to get dead. Now we’ve had vampires almost killing my Chief Advisor who should be more than protected at the palace.
    “If this doesn’t go right, we will become chew toys. We will have left one dangerous position and walked right into the hands of
