That the dose detected would have worked fast, about a minute or so, combined with the wolfsbane that took Luci and Kali down, it might have even been less.

rhaps just because the lake was considered her pack, his link to her was gone. He didn’t understand that, but seems she could do that at will. Likely why they had never been able to feel her all these years. She didn’t want them to, so they just couldn’t. It was something to do with them being a Triune, he guessed.

“Not Maria’s or Melissa’s for that matter.” He told her, it was likely that Rafe’s parents were in the room with his mother, along with his own father. The whole former Unit were all away together. They could all be listening to this conversation for all he knew. Even Rafe’s youngest siblings were on that vacation.
