“I told you. He needs a necro. Not just a fucking healer. Your pack did this to him. Get your necro here. Now.”

Livia’s voice is commanding, and it soothes the sheer shock of pain erupting throughout my body. She’s operating the plan. If I can just keep it together and see straight, I’ll be able to focus on the next step.

Blinking rapidly, I rub my face. Fuck! My nose is broken again. Popping it back as straight as I can, I hock out some blood from the back of my throat as I sit up. Strings of mucus cling to my bottom lip, but I cut them off with a brush of the back of my tremulous hand. The cold concrete floor of the interrogation room offers no cushion for my aching bones. Putting my head between my knees, I take inventory of my body. I’m good. I’ve had worse.

“You okay, lion? Can you do this?” Livia squats next to me and grabs my fingers with both her little hands.

“Yeah, baby. I can do it.” I swallow, then poke around my mouth with my tongue. My teeth seem to be intact. “I yelled for you. I couldn’t see you. I was worried…”

“Oh, they stuck me in another room. Ace knows who I am. He knows there would’ve been war if they’d hurt me. Cal’s likely watching every move.” She eyes the door at approaching footsteps. “He’s in here!”

A lanky guy with some outdated dyed navy emo haircut billows inside the room, his long black lab coat giving away his profession. Pretty sure he’s never seen the sun. It must be our boy.

“This guy’s alive,” he says with a bass voice that rattles the doorknob, one lanky finger pointing at me sitting on the floor. Man’s a genius.

“Who are you?” Livia asks as if she didn’t call him in here.

“Ken. You asked for a necro. I’m not a fucking healer.” He looks like he’s about to leave, but Livia jumps up and shuts the door before he can escape.

My voice sounds dry and cracked, but I manage to get out, “It’s the strangest thing. I was dead, but I just came back to life. Does that make me some kind of god?”

“Where are the ears, Ken?” Livia asks from behind him, pressing her lithe body against the door.

Ken looks from me to her. “Huh?”

“The ears? Lavinio’s ears. Where do you keep them?”

His face darkens as his black eyebrows pull closer together. “The fuck? You workin’ for him or something? That’ll be a problem with Donovan.”

With some effort, I get myself to a standing position, narrowing my gaze as he casually glances at me over his shoulder. “She asked you a question, my man. Where are the ears? That’s all we need from you.” It isn’t, but I’ll put him at ease before I lay him to rest.

The guy makes a motion to run, but I grab him from behind in a bear hug. Before I realize, he pulls out a blade from his wrist and repeatedly jabs at my chest.
