Chapter Eleven

Holding Amy tightly in his arms, Rhys turned to Gideon, whose face had gone white and drawn.

"Gideon,” he said sharply. “You've got to stay with me, man."

Rhys had Amy cradled close against his chest. There was no way in hell he was going to put her down. He hoped Gideon didn't pass out on him too because he would hit the ground hard.

"I'm fine,” Gideon gritted through his teeth as a spasm passed through him.

"I need to get you guys somewhere where you'll be safe as you complete the transition."

"Can I ... trust...?” Gideon clenched his jaw and shuddered through another tremor.

"Amy can trust me with her life. You're a pretty big asshole but..."

"Fuck. You,” replied Gideon between deep breaths.

"You can trust me,” Rhys assured him, the urgency coming out in his voice.

"Fine. Let's go then.” Gideon's voice was shaky, and Rhys could tell that he was holding on to control by a tenuous thread. The man was going to make a good Immortal. If he lived.

Rhys carried Amy outside to his car, reluctantly surrendering her to Gideon's arms so that he could drive. He maneuvered through the darkened streets, glancing over at Amy's pale, drawn face every few moments. She was still unconscious. He was more worried than he cared to admit. Every moan that passed her lips and every painful jolt of her body pulled on his aching heart. A heart he hadn't even known he still had.

They made it to the warehouse at something closing on mach speed. Kane met them there, having picked the car up on the cameras as it came through the garage doors.

"What the hell is this?” Kane asked as Rhys lifted Amy out of Gideon's lap. “Who's the woman, Rhys, and why is she unconscious?"

Rhys didn't bother to answer. He waited to see if Gideon was going to need help getting out of the car, but the guy slowly uncurled himself from the seat and pulled himself out with a hand braced on the side panel and another holding onto the door.

"Hey, boss. Fancy seeing you here,” Gideon muttered the pain obvious in his forced speech.

"Oh, shit."

"Yeah, that's kind of been my mantra for the day, too.” He groaned through clenched teeth and bent over, arms curling into his stomach. Amy moaned, as well, her body tensing. Rhys could feel the shudder of pain working through her body, and he clenched his eyes shut, wishing he could take the pain, that he could flow his strength and his power to her.

He carried Amy straight to his rooms. Gideon followed slowly, with Kane close behind. Rhys placed Amy gently on the bed.

"Kane,” he said, “you know Gideon here, don't you? Will you help him to the room beside Baron's?"

Rhys could see Kane was eyeing Amy. Knowing the twins, they had probably done a complete security work-up on Gideon before deciding to bring him in to oversee their research. And being a twin himself, it didn't take Kane long to appreciate exactly what was going on.
