of her strength, making the blow more powerful. He will live but he is going to have one hell of a headache when he wakes up. I manage to roll him off of me and get to my feet. My ribs hurt like a b**ch with my healing slowed by the silver. Once I’m on my feet, I move through the cell door without touching the bars. I’m grateful to find the door that leads out of the room is unlocked. As I keep moving, I find the hallway is empty. I move through the hallway as quickly as I can without drawing attention to myself. I’m almost to another set of stairs when I hear something behind me. I turn to see the b**ch from earlier coming out of a room, followed by the man that the goddess has chosen as my mate. She spots me first and wipes her mouth, letting me know that she just had my mate’s c**k in it. Ara wants me to turn around and rip her throat out. “He has made choice and we are not it. We need to get the hell out of here, Ara.” I rush down the stairs as fast as I can with my injuries. I approach a door that I’m sure leads outside. I push it open and I’m grateful to be right. As soon as we step

more minutes before something hits me hard in the side with enough force to knock me off of my feet and into a tree. If my ribs had healed at all they are definitely broken again. Ara whimpers and all the hope from a few minutes ago is gone. I look up to see three vampires standing over us. “The stupid b**ch tried to run. You thought you were actually faster than us. I hope Magnum punishes your a** for running and let’s all of us watch.” I close my eyes, not wanting to see them stand there and gloat. A noise that sounds like a sickening thud gets my attention and I pry my eyes open. “I told you not to hurt her”, Magnum yells at the vampire he has pinned to the tree. A thought that he might actually care about me is immediately replaced by the reality that he needs me alive to get to my father. I hear a crack but I don’t even dare look as I close my eyes again. Did he just kill one of his own men? Ara is scooped up like she weighs nothing and, based on the tingles, I know exactly who is carrying us this time. After a few minutes, I open my eyes enough to see Oscar standing at the door. Magnum pushes past him without a word and carries me back upstairs. I expect him to carry me back to the cell but he doesn’t. He takes me

vampire may have made it worse, but she is the one who broke my ribs in the first place.” His eyes turn blood red and he turns heading for the door. He reaches for the handle before he turns back to look at me. “There are vampires posted outside your window and this door. Do not try anything stupid again. I can’t

Magnum POV

in the guest room, I find Oscar in the hallway. I had thought about placing her in my room but I know Jonelle’s scent is all over in there. I don’t know why I care. Actually, I do, it’s this damn bond. I shake those thoughts away as Oscar is walking toward me rubbing his head. “What the f**k happened?” “I went to check on her just like you asked me to. I smelled blood so I went inside the cell to check on her and she must have hit me.” I don’t know whether to smile or be pissed. Why would there be blood? She is definitely a feisty little thing, but did she make herself bleed to make it look like my people injured her or did Jonelle really do it? She saw what I just did to the ba**ard that hurt her, so it makes sense she would accuse Jonelle. I also have no doubt that Jonelle would hurt her if she got the chance, but she has never defied my orders before. “Did you see Jonelle anywhere near the cell with the she-wolf in it?” He looks like I’m not going to like his answer. “Not long after I put the she-wolf in the cell I found Jonelle standing outside her cell causing her pain. I immediately told her to stop and she left.” “Why the f**k didn’t you tell me about this earlier?” “I wasn’t sure you would actually care. I mean she is your prisoner.” I’m sure my eyes show my anger. “Magnum, what the hell is going on with you? If I didn’t know any better, I would think
