Could Ardenia be poisoned too ? Inside , Ardenia pulled out the last of the needles and tidied up , ready to lie down . But as her hand brushed the bedding , she touched something furry - like a tail . She turned sharply and nearly jumped out of her skin . Halden was lying shirtless beside her , a large snow leopard tail sprawled across the bed . " Weren't you supposed to keep watch for me ? Why are you on my bed ? " Her eyes widened in disbelief . Halden , in contrast , looked perfectly calm . " I bathed . " " That's not what I asked ! Why are you on my bed ?

" And how the hell did he move so quietly ? When did he even get up here ? I didn't hear a thing ! " You ... don't want me to sleep here ? " he asked , his voice uncertain as his ears drooped low . " I- " Before she could finish , a blur of red fur burst through the entrance . A huge fox with eyes glowing scarlet stalked in , its aura burning hot in the darkness .

" Now's not the time for that . " Ardenia's palms glowed bright green . " Something's seriously wrong with Niall .

Sounded like it came from Ardenia's . She seemed fine with her mates earlier- probably just ... you know . " " I don't think so . Niall stormed over there looking furious . My guess ?
