Chapter 114

48 Not a Hero

Larisa POV

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

I’m not that lucky. I run for a few 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 to a room that is a few doors down from the one I was in earlier. It is beautiful and I doubt this is Magnum’s room. It has a huge bed and it is decorated in blue and gray. I would think his room would be dark with red and black colors. “Just because he is a vampire doesn’t mean he has to like black and red”, Ara says,

him. I scramble for the covers almost forgetting about my broken ribs. I wince and I can see anger flash in his eyes. “Where are you injured?” “Don’t worry about it. I’m a wolf, I’ll heal. 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. Don’t even let yourself hope. He will not be our mate, Ara.” She whimpers, receding to the back of my mind. I hate that I have to be the one to tell her to give up on our mate, but I can’t

Magnum POV

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
