“Understandable,” he said. “Which is why I will ask you to talk about it. Don’t decide right now.”

“Are you sure that she will have those side effects?” Will asked.

“No,” Oliver responded, shaking his head. “She could have them. It’s not certain.”

Oliver stood up and gave me a small smile.

“Think about it, Maddie,” he said. “Let me know what you decide. I will be ready if you choose to take the plant.”

Oliver bowed to Dimitri and walked out of the room.

I took a deep breath and leaned my head on Dimitri’s shoulder. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. Was it really so dangerous for me to practice and learn more about my powers? Would someone really see me if I stayed in my room? How would anyone know what I was doing here?

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. My head started throbbing again. I couldn’t think about it. I couldn’t make a decision.

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX – A Tough Decision

Dimitri’s POV

She wasn’t going to take that plant. If something happened and she wasn’t able to mind-link me I would fucking lose my shit.

But on the other hand, her powers made her sick. She was hurt because she was trying to help me. How could I let her be in pain when there was a solution to it all?

“I have that lunch with the Lunas today,” Maddie said as she tried to get up.

I growled and pulled her back to my chest. She was crazy if she thought I would let her get out of this bed.

“It’s way past lunchtime, Mads,” Will said. “It is almost 6 p.m.”

“Shit,” Maddie mumbled. “You should have woken me up.”

“Like I would have let you go,” I said, growling again. “You heard what Oliver said. You need to rest.”

“Don’t worry about it, Mads,” Ellie said. “I talked to the Lunas and I arranged for breakfast tomorrow. I told them you weren’t feeling well and they completely understood.”

Oh, she wouldn’t be going to that either. She was going to spend the day in bed. She was going to rest and I wouldn’t let her do anything or go anywhere until I was completely sure that she was okay.

“She isn’t going,” I said, making both Maddie and Ellie look at me. “She is going to rest.”

“I have to go, Dimitri,” Maddie said. “I made them a promise.”

I growled and wanted to argue, but Ellie interrupted me.

“We will see how she feels in the morning, okay?” she said, giving me a knowing look. “I know you want to make sure that she is okay, but she has obligations, Dimitri. She will go if she is feeling well.”

I raised my brows at Ellie. She really had some nerve telling me what would happen. I could feel anger boiling inside me.

“Don’t start, Dimitri,” Will sighed. “Ellie is right and you know it.”

Maddie turned her head and placed a soft kiss on my chest. I relaxed immediately.

But then I figured out what she did and I growled.

“Maddie!” I exclaimed as I cupped her cheeks and made her look at me. “You have to stop doing that!”

She sighed and closed her eyes.

“I am so sorry,” she mumbled as she opened her eyes again. “I am just used to it.”
