Enea chuckles as he helps me sit up.
“We’ve called an ambulance for Abigail. She’s breathing, but I’m not a doctor, so I can’t tell you if she’s going to be okay. As for Randall and Julian? It depends on what they were injected with when Seraphina bit them.”
“I thought her venom was lethal?”
“You’ll have to talk to her about that.”
We see Seraphina come out of the bathroom, she goes straight for Apollo and I watch him embrace her. I wish Michel was here. I can’t wait to be in his arms.
“Those to scumbags will need to be looked at. I was going to take care of them, but I thought you’d want to do it,” she says to Enea.
“Do they need an anti-venom?” he asks her.
“No, I mixed what I did. They won’t die, but they will get really, really sick.”
We look over to the brothers and they’re both throwing up on the floor. And I’m pretty sure they’ve both shit themselves.
“That’s gross,” Adonis says as he looks like he’s going to be sick too.
“Let’s get them out of here. We rented a storage locker. We’ll keep them there and then take them back to Lake Renegade.”
“Wait, we need something to put them in because I’m not touching them. They’ve shit and puked all over themselves,” Eros says as he’s holding his breath.
“I texted Michel and asked him to bring us a laundry cart.”
“What about their jobs?” I ask.
“Salvatore is taking care of that for us,” Giacomo answers.
I’m figuring out that there’s even more to the Lake Renegade family than what they’ve let me in on. I slowly get up off the bed, my ankles and arms are sore from being tied up. All of a sudden I’m in Michel’s arms and I start sobbing. I was fine until he touched me and now all the emotions I was holding back come flooding out.
“I’m so glad you’re okay. Did he hurt you?”
“No. He tied me up, but he didn’t touch me,” I say as I look up and kiss him.
Michel holds me tighter as we watch the brothers get loaded into the laundry cart and taken out.
“That smell is something I won’t forget for a while,” Eros says as he makes puking noises.
“Right? And this is why your snake will never nibble me,” Apollo says to Seraphina as she pouts at him.
CHAPTER TWELVE
Michel
When I saw Panagiotis’ tiger, I was in awe. He’s impressive and I can’t wait to see him in person. When we heard gunshots, my heart dropped. Not being able to see what was happening was making me crazy. It felt like they were in the room forever. Then I got a text asking me to bring a laundry cart. I was going to ask what it was for, but I decided to just wait and see.
The sight I saw in the bedroom was one I would never have imagined. And the smell. Holy fuck, the smell. I don’t know how we’re going to get that smell out. But I hope that it’s not seeping into the other rooms. After I had a second to look around, I went straight for Genevieve. She didn’t look like they had touched her, but if they had? I would be makingthem pay for it.
“We’ll call in people to clean up the room for you. They’ll probably have to rip this carpet out and bleach the floors. And we’ll need to get new furniture in here. But don’t worry we’ll take care of all of it,” Zeus says to me.
“Can we get out of here? Please?” Adonis asks, he looks kind of greenish.
“Yes, the cleaning crew is on their way, Eros, you stay here and let them in.”
“Wait. I can’t stay in this room, I’ll die.”
Zeus stops and sighs.
