48 Not a Hero

Larisa POV

for hitting Oliver. He is the only one that seems kind. Ara and I couldn’t shift completely because of the silver, but she was able to lend me some 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,

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

I will be perfectly healthy by the time you need to use me” I say with all the venom I can muster. “Laura, I asked you a question and I expect an answer.” I almost forgot that is the name I gave to Oscar. “Why don’t you go ask your girlfriend about my injuries since she is one that’s responsible for them?” “The vampire that I just killed is responsible, not Jonelle.” Her name on his lips just pisses me off further. I laugh “your 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 afford to keep killing men if they hurt you.” He leaves and I don’t know what the hell to think about what he just said. “He cares about us” Ara says. “No, he cares about revenge.

Magnum POV

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 you care about the wolf.” I
