Chapter Sixteen

Karey was right about drinking Patrick’s blood. It really did kickstart the return of his own fires. It was fairly disgusting, and Adam tried his best not to think about it—although he had to wonder, did this make him a vampire or a cannibal? Not that it mattered much. What mattered was that he wasn’t killed because Stephen hit him.

Stephen, it was clear, felt terribly guilty for the whole situation. He apologized a dozen times, even though Adam told him it was fine. If he wasn’t on blockers, he could have shaken off that blow like it was nothing.

Being on blockers, though… while the initial blow did a number on him, what really got him was hitting his head on the way down. His fires were returning by the time Evan returned with the things Karey sent him for, and he felt almost back to his old self when they reached the hospital. After Karey explained to the doctors how long he’d been unconscious, though, they insisted on taking a bunch of tests.

It wasn’t long before Dr. Erica Bennet showed up, Cooper by her side. After taking a look at his charts, Erica advised Maura to keep Adam in the hospital and put him back on the blockers. He was healed enough, it seemed, to be out of danger so he could have his advanced healing taken away but not so healed to be taken out of observation.

Unless it was just a plot to keep him here, so that he couldn’t stop them from handing Karey over to the Pack again.

Adam swung out of the narrow bed. It was too small for his muscular body, and he nearly toppled off just turning over. He slipped his feet into the hospital slippers and pulled on the long overcoat that Stephen had brought him. They were keeping him in the hospital gown—barf—and he didn’t want everybody to see his butt.

As he headed for the door, though, it swung open. Stephen came in, carrying two cups of coffee. He frowned when he saw Adam up.

“Get back into bed,” he snapped. “The last thing you need is to fall down and hit your head again.”

His balance did feel a little off, but Adam strode toward the door. “I have to talk to Patrick and Fiona. They’ll be able to make Maura see reason.”

“Adam.”

“Don’t! It’s a mistake to hand Karey back over to the Pack, and I’m going to make sure they don’t make that mistake.” Adam shook his head, regretting it instantly as a dull throb wound around his skull like a snake, squeezing his brain. “Get out of my way, Stephen. She’s not going back there. I won’t let them do that to her.”

Stephen walked past him to put the coffee down. Adam had barely reached the door, though, before Stephen caught him again.

“Adam, it’s too late for that.”

Adam tried to pull away, but his arms were weaker than normal. Damn these blockers! Why did they have to put him back on them? It wasn’t like he was going to go on a rampage! But then Stephen’s words hit home.
