Chapter 98. Anything but Hatred

Saylor POV

Asher, my Beta, sent me feedback that we had received the weapons we requested from an ally pack. The bullets were heavily coated with monkshood, a variant of wolfsbane.

We were battle-ready to take down Plum Paradise. I just had a few mental games with the major characters on my chessboard.

Because I had been indoors discussing things with Asher all afternoon, I did not hear about the latest development in time. I saw Fitz from my window yelling orders, with servants carrying white towels into the medical division and taking bloody ones out.

What was going on?

I took the shorter stairs and asked a passing servant, but she breezed past, focused on her task.
