A Double Golden Murder

" What have you done " Emily whispered as she walked to the door where everyone had gathered after the scream, her face paling.
Laying half naked looking drained of blood that either Logan and the bed was wearing is a young female
" What's going on" Logan asked, his eyes blurry
" We should be asking you that " Alpha Briar muttered
" How long will it take to determine what happened"she asked her beta
But Emily didn't hear anything after that all she could do was just stare at the carnage in front of her.
Logan hissed in pain
" Something is wrong with me " he croaked and Bruce caught his arm
" What the hell happened"
" Don't know,dizzy" he said as blood spilled out of his lips and Emily screamed rushing forward.
Logan collapsed against Bruce chest and her heart lurched, Emily rushed forward to meet them, her hand touching his neck before she could think about it, Logan snarled at her and she winced pulling her hand back, and he slackened a little, his rage simmering
"What is wrong with him" Emily asked touching at his neck, he is hot, too hot to be safe,
"Poison" Bruce muttered looking around the room,
"Poison, what kind " Emily asked frantically,
"Wolfsbane " Emily frowned touching at his face, Emily didn't know that poison,it was the first time Emily was hearing of it
"How deadly is it" Emily asked and he shook his head
"Its a poison that's wolf are susceptible to and it looks like the Alpha took to much" he offered and she whimpered this was bad
"Should we call someone" Emily asked frantically, and Aspen took her hand
"Someone is on the way, we can't afford too much attention" Bruce ordered and Emily stared, her jaw slacking with annoyance
"You can't be serious, he's sick" Emily gritted and he nodded
"I know but we can't let too many people know, especially when we don't know who our enemies are" he muttered and she settled, that was true, if Logan had been poisoned then the person responsible would be watching for some sort of sign, and we could not allow that bit when we didn't know their motives.
" How can I help" Emily said, he looked to her, then to Logan and sighed
" Follow me" he urged picking him up like he weighed nothing and that was not true, Emily realized just how strong he was.
Emily was worried, his face was paling, his fingers wrinkled, she worried her lip with her teeth wondering if her nerves would disappear any time soon. We climbed up the stairs.
Bruce grunting as Aspen opened a door that led to their own room grunting under the strain of the weight, Emily followed just behind them the whole place was quiet so it wasn't a regular route. He lay Logan on the bed and gestured her to the bathroom,
" A wash cloth and some water" he ordered, she nodded following his direction, she walked into the the bathroom, turning on the tap and grabbing a bowl then filled it with water, she walked out of the bathroom bowl and wash cloth in hand, she sunk the towel in and squeezed and rubbed his forehead, he moaned and she stilled, Emily worked on it a few times and soon he was reasonably warm
" Doesn't he need medicine" she asked feeling his forehead with her palm again.
" Aspen is working on it " he replied and she looked around noticing that Aspen was indeed not in the room
" her Julie, you're here" Logan muttered delirious his palm gripping Emily's palm tightly, she sighed pressing at his finger's
" I'm here rest" she said softly, Bruce came holding a cup
" He needs to drink this, I'll sit him up, and you give it to him to drink" he ordered. she nodded
" Ok" Emily said taking the glass, he sat on the bed , lifting Logan by his arms, he pulled him in, lifting his head up a bit, she took the glass to his mouth
" Logan you have to sip this " she ordered and he whined in his throat, she hissed
" Drink this and I'll stay with you, " his eyes opened
" Really " he slurred, Logan laughed and she glared in his direction, and he huffed.
" What he's really going to hate this when he wakes up" he muttered and she sighed looking back to Logan.
" Really" she replied placing the glass at his mouth he sipped the water gulping it down rapidly. She was never leaving him again
wincing.
" What do we do about the library , Alpha Briar is likely furious about the girl " she muttered and he sighed,
"Once Aspen is back I'll go see what is happening" he said and she nodded
What the hell was happening, where had that girl come from.
Logan moaned in his sleep and she patted him softly so afraid of what could happen if they didn't get through this quickly
Aspen walked in through the door a woman with her that looked like a nurse.
She walked to Logan side and examined him from head to toe
" It seems to be Wolfsbane and I believe you know that the herbs are rare but the alpha wants answers so you have been allowed to procure them" she muttered and Emily resisted the urge to slap her.
" Yeah we get that. Now get out so we can take care of him" she hissed and the nurse nodded and walked out of the room
Aspen went to a pot and turned it on chucking some leaves into water and lighting it up,
" I'll go see what is going on out there" Bruce said and she nodded
Soon the room was cloying with a thick scent that wasn't all together good or bad
Aspen came to her holding a cup of slightly warm teas
" He needs to drink this, I'll sit him up, and you give it to him to drink" she said and she nodded
" Ok. I'm ready " she said taking the glass, she sat on the bed , lifting Logan by his arms, he pulled him in, lifting his head up a bit, Emily took the glass to his mouth and just like earlier she muttered
" Logan you have to sip this " she ordered and he whined in his throat, she hissed
" Please" she begged and he downed the whole thing wincing as he did
" What is it" she asked and Aspen sighed taking the cup.

" Silver tea doesn't have the best taste" she muttered and Emily nodded in understanding, giving him the whole thing, he took it in four gulps and then sagged, Aspen pulled away letting him lie on the bed.
Emily reached for the clothe and wiped his forehead.
He sighed relaxing into the bed, the hours flew by then he went from shivering to growling in his sleep,then he bit his lips drawing blood, Emily felt his pain deeply and she tried not to reach for him too much, just wiping at his skin,to reduce the heat.
His fever broke an hour to sunrise, he was sweating so much she was certain the bed was wet, he groaned softly and she moved closer to him, taking his hand
" You're fine" Emily said softly and he groaned
" My head, what did you give me" he gritted and she smiled
" Silver tea, I'm guessing you can still taste it" she muttered and he cursed
"I hate Wolfsbane,"
" Don't we all" Aspen asked
" where is Bruce "he asked , she helped him sit up, reaching across him for a small glass filled with water
" He is stalling for time, drink this, it will help your head " she said offering him the glass he took it draining the content and looked to her.
" How long have I been out of it" he asked and she shrugged
" A while. Maybe two" she didn't want to dwell on that topic so she asked
" Are you ok, do you need help showering . You must feel so sticky" she stuttered, he frowned, then cursed .
Emily stood, and he followed stalking to the bathroom. She heard him turn on the shower, but she couldn't sit still, so she pulled off the bed covers and dumped it into the laundry basket.
" He's going to be ok " Aspen said softly
The door opened and he walked in, he was wet, water running down his chest in a slow slide, he looked quite– she gulped not sure exactly what word she wanted to use.
" Oh come on, give us some warning" she hissed and he laughed
' you've seen it all so what's the plan"
He looked like something, her body heated in response to his nearness, his nostrils widened as he looked to her his eyes darkening, Emily pulled back away from his reach and he laughed, coming to stand right in front of her so close that she could feel the heat wafting off his skin,he leaned into her his lips a hairsbreadth from hers and she stilled back straight
" Don't worry, I won't jump you" she sighed relaxing her shoulders and he hissed his lips near her ear
" Not now at least" he pulled away from her going to the closet, he pulled out his clothes and tugged them on, Emily glanced away from his blatant display of his body.
She gulped walking to the door, it opened before she could open it and Bruce walked in looking to the bed his eyes widened when he didn't find Logan
" He woke up not long ago he seems better " Emily said softly, he smiled his shoulders relaxing a bit, Aspen huffed
" Who did you think would get him with me here " she muttered and he grinned
" So what is the situation now" Logan asked and Bruce sighed
" It's bad we don't know how the girl got in the room"
" She is kitchen staff and should have never been anywhere near here in the first place "
" And the poisoning" Aspen asked and he scoffed
" That's even more bizarre because, the only place you could have taken this was at the dinner table"
" So someone poisoned me on purpose" Logan muttered
" We need time to figure out what's going on" he said softly
" We can ask Alpha Briar for help" Emily said
" We can't trust anyone here "
" But if we're going to get anywhere we need her " she hissed back,
" Fine I will play dead or dying and you'll get her help" Logan said
" Dead ,why" Aspen asked and he shrugged
" Someone wants me dead badly, let's give them what they want" he said ,
" And just why do you think I will help you in this scheme" Emily jumped at the new voice , blood draining from her face when she saw Alpha Briar.
