“He didn’t. Henry is nowhere near…” Micah starts to argue.
“Then he must have fucking kidnapped someone, because I’m looking at a very naked and very frightened woman in the shower of this hotel suite,” I say.
“Shit…” Micah hisses. I sigh and squat down to get at eye level.
“Ma’am?” I grunt. “Hello? Look, bitch. I’m trying to be nice. Would you fucking look at me?”
“No wonder you don’t have a woman, Soren. Goddamn,” Diego laughs. I glare at him before looking back at the woman.
“Ma’am?” I sigh.
“I won’t tell anyone,” she whimpers. “I swear I won’t…”
I grow impatient, so I grab her arm and haul her up from the floor. That fear quickly snaps to sass, and she yanks her arm back. “Don’t fucking touch me!” she yells at me. I raise an eyebrow at her and step closer.
“Be very fucking careful who you get an attitude with, Bunny,” I snarl.
“I can’t keep these cameras offline much longer,” Micah says carefully. “They’re trying to fix them right now. They’re suspicious.”
“I can’t just fucking leave her here. She saw,” I snap.
“Take me with you!” she says quickly. “Please, he will fucking kill me. Please. I’m begging you. Please don’t leave me here.”
In an instant, something snaps in my mind, and I hardly comprehend what I am doing until I’m sinking my fangs into her neck. She has her legs wrapped around my waist and her handson my chest. Everything around me muffles as her entire body relaxes.
“Soren, what are you…” Vaughn starts to say.
“Don’t touch them!” Caine rushes out. “He fucking marked her.”
Chapter Five
Talia
One second I’m standingin the bathroom, and the next this giant man has me pressed against the wall as he bites down on my neck. The stinging pain fades, and an immediate euphoria sweeps over my entire body. He growls and snarls as he bites me, and I’ve never been more confused before.
I heard it the moment they broke in, and I heard them raping Ben. I wasn’t stupid enough to go watch, though. I stayed put and celebrated in silence when I heard the shot. I expected to get shot as soon as someone found me, but now I’m being chewed on by this burly man.
“He fucking marked her,” one of the men scoffs.
The man pinning me, Soren, slowly sets me on my feet. When he pulls back, my eyes widen when I see that he has notable fangs and his eyes are bright red.
“We need to go,” one of the men says. He steps closer, and Soren snaps his head toward him and snarls, and it’s unlike anything I’ve heard before. “Hey. Chill. No one is going to touch her, but we need to go unless you plan to take Henry down in the next minute, because he and his men are in the elevator.
“Fuck. No, no, no,” I say. Soren goes to pull away, so I grab his arm. “Please, don’t leave me here. Please.”
“Come on,” he grunts, pushing me toward the door. I grab the robe on the way out of the bathroom and wrap myself up. They all walk to the balcony, and I stop.
“What the fuck are you doing?” I ask.
“Fucking humans,” Soren grumbles. He sweeps my feet out from under me, and we are suddenly leaping off the balcony. I scream as we plummet to the ground, but the landing isn’t what I expect. We go from falling to running, and I hardly notice the transition.
“If you call me a fucking spider monkey, I’m hitting you,” I mutter.
“Okay, Spider Bunny,” he chuckles to himself.
Fucking idiot…
I cling to him, but I’m fucking terrified at the same time. I don’t know what the fuck I just got myself into, but I know for a fact I want nothing to do with Henry. Not after finding out he was coming back, expecting Ben to be alive. He was either on his way to get me or planning to kill Ben and take me. Either way, I’m choosing between two types of evil, but I won’t survive Henry.
