Surreptitious Alliance: Marked by My Alien Slave

Morgan pov.

"You have a lab, right?" I ask Luca who nods his head. "Okay, forget sleep. Ragna I need samples from you." He nods, floating down to the ground and tucking his wings into his back, even tucked they look different, beautiful. "Are you a doctor now too?" Magnus asks and I frown at him, my irritation rising every time he opens his mouth.

"What the fuck is your problem, Magnus?" I ask, glaring at him. "Like, what the actual fuck us wrong here?" Everyone is now looking at him, probably wondering the same thing.

"You don't think this is strange?" He asks, looking at Isa. "She's using magic far beyond her years. She's twenty-four. She just boned with her Sentinel and she's using magic both you and I struggle with." Isa looks over at me, looking like she's not sure what he wants her to say and to be honest neither am I.

"Are you jealous?" His mouth drops to the floor at me question and I nod. "Okay, not that we've figured that out... Luca, the sooner we get those samples the sooner we can figure out what's making Ragna sick." The hybrid runs his hands over his buzzed head, down his face and they settle as clench fist against his sides.

"While you're at it, get some samples of your blood as well." Magnus tells me and he flies against the wall before I can comprehend it.

Fucking asshole. Casey mutters in my mind and I can't help but share her sentiment. "There is nothing wrong with me." I tell him, feeling my eyes shift and Casey rises to the surface more. "Have you ever considered that I might just be stronger than you are because I'm mated to royal blood?" Everyone looks over at Rain who also looks like he's only now realized the fact. "He marked me, remember? Injected his DNA into me. I had sex with him!" I shout, maybe that will make him understand me better.

"Well, shit. You have more complicated family drama than I do." Ragna mutters and I look over at him.

"You don't even know who your family is." Luca mutters and the hybrid look at Benjamin who sighs. "Sinclair. She's his mother." The room goes dead silent and the words refuse to register in my mind. "Sorry, I thought you said..." Rain mutters, shaking his head but Benjamin nods.

"How, she can't... What?" My ears feel like they're ringing, like someone just banged drums next to them. "You knew this. Coming here. Looking for me? You knew this?" I ask the hybrid and he nods.

"The enemy of my enemy, remember." He hisses out. I walk over to the couch and sit down, dropping my head into my hands. There's always something. Some impossible thing to digest. Some new revelation. It's never ending and it makes everything so fucken difficult.

"She's your mother and you are here? Helping us destroy her?" Agnes asks causing Ragna to scoff.

"That woman has never been my mother. She gave birth to me and that's about it. Do you see what she's done to me?" He motions to himself, arms flailing.

"Still, you can't hate her so much that you're willing to turn on her." The wolf reasons and I let out a dry laugh.

"Trust me, you can." I look over at Magnus who's still leaning against the wall I threw him against. Rain comes to me and crouches in front of me, tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear and then kisses my head.

"Let's go. We don't have time to waste." I nod, taking the hand he offers and giving Luca an expectant look. The Fairie blinks us into a hallway and then pushes open the giant doors in front of us. Rows and rows of counters are lined up with all kinds of medical equipment stationed on them. The Fairies working on them give us all confused looks as Luca leads us to a Fairie with large blue wings.

"Kyle, we need to run some blood tests." He says, pushing Ragna forward. The hybrid sneers at Luca but holds his arm up in the air towards Kyle who snorts and has him sit on the stool next to him.

"Why do you look like you've been drugged?" He asks Ragna who shrugs his shoulders.

"Dubious parenthood." He drawls making Luca chuckle.

"What am I looking for?" He pulls out a blood donation bag, cleans the surface of Ragna's skin and then punches the needle into it. We all look at each other with wide eyes as purple blood starts flowing from his veins. "Well, I think that answers that question." Kyle mutters.

"Has your blood always been purple?" Rain asks and Ragna shakes his head.

"A lot of things started going wrong when the injections started."

"You're rotting." Kyle mutters and I raise my eyebrows at him. "It's Evergreen." He states like we're all supposed to know what it is.

"You're going to have to explain." I tell him and he grins, shaking his head.

"You're not medically trained, got you. He's a Fairie." He motions to Ragna. "Evergreen is poisonous to Fairies. Not a lot of Fairies know this because it doesn't grow in Gloss. It grows in certain places in the Bio-Glaze but its wild and we're so tightly leashed when we go there it's never been a problem, but you my brother, you look like you've been eating from the bush itself."

"Can it be used in medicine?" Rain asks and Kyle nods.

"Yeah, humans do all kind of weird things with it. It's why we're so careful of what we eat and drink in the Bio-Glaze. What's medicine to you is poison to us." He removes the needle from Ragna's veins and fiddles with the bags. "I'll test his blood but I'm pretty sure he's being poisoned. Hold on." He disappears behind some back doors in the room and I turn to Luca.

"You didn't know about this?" The Fairie shakes his head, eyeing Ragna. "Huh, looks like you might not die." I tell him and he snorts.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Why hasn't he died sooner, if the stuff is so poisons?" Rain asks as Kyle joins us again, a vile and a needle in his hands.

"He's not getting it in high doses. It's like wanting to murder someone but not wanting people to know you did it. You give them just enough to be weak but never enough to kill them. Until... you know, eventually it does." He sticks the needle into the top of the bottle and draws the clear liquid into it before making sure there's no air in it and injecting it into Ragna's shoulder.

"So what happens now?" Luca asks and Kyle shrugs.

"Now we wait for it to work. If I were you I would kill the person trying to kill me." Kyle chuckles and he might think he's joking but he has no idea how accurate he is. Sinclair is going to die and she's going to die soon.
