“When did this start?”
    “Seconds ago,” Dominic rushed in.
    “What’s wrong with him? Is he okay?” Marcella pulled against her mate’s arms, trying to get closer.
    “I’m taking him to the dungeon. If he’s changing like I think he is, the zoning out isn’t good. I can only think of one thing that does that before all hell breaks loose. Dominic, give Marcella over to Ambrose, and you come with me.”
    “No way, I’m not leaving him.” Marcella jerked, and Dom let her go. There was no way she’d let Jason experience his first change alone. Sure, he’d turned into a vampire willingly, but when a shift was uncontrollable, Marcy knew how scary and painful it could be.
    “Don’t be stupid. You’re not going, and that’s final,” Samael snapped. “I don’t care if you are queen. If I see you so much as peek your head in, I’ll bend you over my knee. Do you hear me?”
    The dark angel’s hands grabbed Jason and vanished. Dominic’s red eyes caught her off guard, nearly making her scream. “I’ll take my turn placing you over my knee if you disobey. Is that clear? You are not to go down there. Whatever Jason is turning into is very bad. I can feel the evil. Do not disobey me. I am asking as your main protector, not your mate. I can’t help you and Jason at the same time, and I know how much you love him.”
    Marcella nodded her head, feeling her heart break at the same time. Ambrose’s arms wrapped around her from behind, and she turned into him as Dominic disappeared. The fear she felt for her other half brought tears to her eyes. Locating Jason’s soul deep inside, she internally comforted it. Somehow, she prayed that did something to ease him in what he was going through.
    “Ambrose, what do you think he’s going to change into? I’m scared for him. What could be so bad that it would put him into a trance like that?”
    “I have no idea. Come. Let’s take a walk in the bailey. Some fresh air would do you good.”
    Marcella noticed people standing from the table. Their safety needed to be put first. “Everyone, retire to the second floor for today. Jason is in the dungeon, going through some changes. The underground level is not safe. I’ll make sure the windows are completely blacked out for your comfort. Tomorrow, you may all return to your quarters.”
    Focusing her mind, she sealed off all the windows. Although the vampires could sleep with the light coming in, they enjoyed the darkness the underground provided. She didn’t blame them one bit. The light was definitely a pain in the ass to their sensitive eyes.
    “Let’s go for that walk. I can’t even think knowing Jason might be in pain. I feel so helpless.”
    Ambrose led her through the door to the outside courtyard. Since it was located in the middle of the castle, she never had to worry about anyone sneaking up from the outer perimeter. A large gazebo surrounded by pink hibiscus circled the wooden sitting area. They made their way to the wicker furniture just as clouds broke out over the sky.
    “Well, shit. This sounds about right. I finally want to come outside, and it rains. What are the odds?”
    Ambrose laughed, and Marcella sat down anyway, shielding the courtyard with her energy from any possible downpour. Rubbing her eyes, she tried to calm her nerves.
    “Come, lay down on my lap. I will relax you.” Ambrose pulled her long hair over his lap, allowing it to fan over the side.
    “Thanks. You always make me feel better.”
    Resting her head against his hard thighs, she watched his hand hover above her body. After a few seconds, the peace associated with his powers wouldn’t come. Nothing about this situation was normal, and she knew she couldn’t just sit by and do nothing.
    “I have to get to Jason. Something’s not right.”
    “No, no. You stay here with me. Maybe I’m just getting rusty. I haven’t tried to do this in a few weeks.”
    “Bullshit, Ambrose. Jason needs me. Either you’re coming or not. Tell
