Chapter Twelve

~ Brendan ~

The smell of blood and chemicals roused me. The mismatched scents, strong enough to make me want to retch, sent an electric ripple of pain through my sinuses and up my spine.

I tensed; worst fucking mistake. Every inch of my body felt bruised, like someone had repeatedly kicked the shit out of me, and then some. I seriously hadn’t felt this fucked in a very long time, which meant I had to be in trouble, because whenever I woke up feeling like this, it meant bad news. The clunk of metal vibrated all the way to my marrow as the sharp barks of some cocky bastard invaded my eardrums, the same voice that had been clattering around in my head for ages. A voice I had an overwhelming urge to silence.

“What do you mean, it didn’t work?”

My concentration zoned in on the familiar male voice.

“Consuming the wolf’s blood gave a surge of adrenalin and strength to the first two Infecteds. Anna is currently monitoring their vitals. I injected the blood into the second two, just like you asked.” A Scottish, female voice replied.

Chemicals. Blood. Test results...fuck. What the hell is going on?

“Good. What happened?”

“Nothing, yet; I injected them only ten minutes ago. Arthur is monitoring them. I told him to page me the instant something happens.”

I slowly tried to open my eyes but the simple action seemed fucking impossible. Each attempt sent pain pulsing round my head until my temples drummed. A deep growl rumbled in my chest.

“Brendan,” the male said happily. “It’s so nice of you to finally join us. You took your time coming around, didn’t you?”

My body felt so drained and so heavy, as if the slightest move would knock me on my arse.

“Where...am...I?” I asked breathlessly. My head hit the table I had been strapped to. “What the fuck...have you done to me?”

“You’re at my facility. As for the second question, well, I just made you a little more co-operative, that’s all.”

With a deep breath, I opened my eyes slowly. My teeth ground as each pulse of agony pounded in my temples, until I could see the arsehole standing in front of me. My sight blurred, but I didn’t dare blink.

“Tell me, what is the last thing you remember?”

I took one deep breath after another and tried to sift through the blurred memories that sat in a sloshed pile in my mind. The image of Heather standing next to me with a lump sum of cash in her arms popped into my head. The thought quickly vanished as a flash of silver cut through the fog. Then, the memory of burning pain as it flooded through my back and gut, thanks to the daggers forced deep into my flesh by Vamps.

The blood house.

Heather.

Without thinking, I whipped my head to the side, regretting the action as a fresh burst of pain burned my neck.

“Where the fuck is she?” I growled, sucking in breath after ragged breath.

“She is around,” he replied, a smile in his voice.
