But he couldn’t very well disobey a king even if it was his own brother.
He sat at the table, tapping his foot as he continued to count the bricks on the walls, his attention going upwards, but near the top of the wall he paused.
There was a small vent, one that appeared to be installed long after this room came to be. The reflective metal of it was fresh and new, but streaked in a residual film.
He didn’t like that.
A loud screeching noise filled the air causing Griffin to cover his ears with his hands. And perhaps if he wasn’t already trained on the vent he wouldn’t have noticed, but smoke began to funnel into the room through it.
Heespeciallydidn’t like that.
Enzo jumped to his feet as it quickly filled the space. “What is this? What’s going on?”
Griffin’s attention landed on Oleks, knowing that Oleks would be the one to know what this was if it were poison.
He saw the ashen white face of the man. Recognized the pure unadulterated fear in their depths.
And he knew with complete certaintyexactlywhat this was.
The only poison he wasn’t immune to. The one he hated the most.
“Listen up. I don’t know why, but they are funneling a drug in here that is going to make us all…euphoric. It’s going to give us hard cocks and the urge to put it in any hole we can,” Griffin bit out, bringing his shirt up to his face and gesturing for the others to follow.
Oleks didn’t move, frozen in the corner of the room, his head resting back on the brick as if it were all that kept him held up.
“It’s going to make us want to fuck—”
A loud screech echoed, followed by the mystery door creeping open.
The sight before Griffin was enough to nearly break him as he finally understood his brother’s plans.
He swallowed the lump in his throat as he stood up on shaky legs, his brother’s words cycling through him.
It doesn’t have to be you.
Chapter 26
This is Going to be an Orgy
Raven
Present Day – Grypheem
Drago carried me up several flights of stairs, my vision whipping and whirling as I overheated in his arms.
I knew I should be fighting. Knew I should be scared. But I physicallycouldn’tbe. The sensation was unnerving as warmth and heat pooled between my thighs. As euphoria beat across my skin.
“We’re almost there.” And then we were marching through a door into a room covered in cushions. “I hope they are enough to get the job done. I’ll be back in the morning to free you all.” Drago placed me in the center of the cushions, taking my shoes off and fluffing them up.
The words lapped across my temple, not entering, not processing. And then he was gone, a demented phantom that left me uneasy. My insides tumbled tumultuously as the drug continued to take hold. As the euphoria twisted to neediness.
A deep painful ache.
A loud creak drew my attention to another door, my eyes focused on it as it swung open on its own…
“Griffin?” The word was a slur as it departed from my lips.
Levi was the first to move, he launched himself into the room, but he hesitated at the foot of the cushions, staring down at me with a twisted expression. “We were drugged, I feel—”
