"So what does that mean?" Kyle asked, trying to figure out what he was trying to say.
"It means she is more emotionally unstable at the moment."
"Is it permanent?" If he was right and this was due to my hormones, I needed to know that there was an end in sight because I didn't want to live like this. Not being in control was not an option for me.
What if someone I cared for set me off the next time and there was no one to stop me? Was this the evil that Flynn had spoken of? That I would be a crazed hybrid with no control if I lost my temper?
"No," Curtis said, reassuring me. I could have kissed him in that moment. "It will take a few days but her hormonal level will settle and it will pass."
"See, I told you," Kyle said, giving me a kiss to my cheek as I beamed up at him.
"Thank you," I said to Curtis as I pulled my attention away from my mate.
"You're welcome," Curtis said with a rare smile.
"Tell them what else you may have discovered," James prompted, elbowing him.
Both Kyle and I gave him our attention.
"I still need to test it but I believe that the wolfsbane is a way for us to weaken the Keepers in combat."
One shot had been enough to incapacitate Harrison, but I wasn't sure how that could be implemented.
"But that wouldn't work in a fighting scenario. We'd need at least five to six werewolves to subdue them long enough to give them a shot of it," Kyle said, already dismissing it.
Curtis' grin widened. "I know a way but I have to test its effectiveness."
"I'm all ears," Kyle said. Was this the breakthrough that would even the playing field?
"We can use it as a spray. As long as we can get it close enough, it can be inhaled and it should work."
"Shouldn't it work quicker if it's inhaled?" I asked, and Curtis nodded. It was dangerous. Having to get close to the enemy wasn't going to be easy.
He would definitely need to test it first.
"Are you going to test it on Flynn?" I asked.
Curtis nodded. "Unfortunately, he is the only Keeper around."
"You could test it on me," I offered, but Kyle was already shaking his head. James didn't look convinced either.
"To know its effectiveness and the concentrate needed, I need to test it on the enemy—a Keeper. I have no way of knowing how much your werewolf side would affect it," Curtis explained.
Although it made sense, I wasn't sure how I felt about using Flynn as a guinea pig.
"So does this mean I have to be locked up until my hormones are normal?" I asked the doctor.
"No," he replied. "I believe a small dose of wolfsbane will keep you from losing control. I could have it ready in an hour. But you have to bear in mind that although it is a smaller dose it might still suppress your werewolf traits."
"Thank you," I said to him, feeling like he was handing me back my sanity.
"You don't have to thank me," he said, giving Kyle a side glance. "I'm doing this as a favor to someone to make things right."
"Tell her thank you," Kyle said tightly. He still wasn't completely ready to forgive Keri for her betrayal.
"Let me know when you're ready to start testing," Kyle instructed him before he left with James.
"Are you ever going to forgive her?" I asked him softly.
