Cage’s leg hurt, and he was bored. A normal bullet wound should already have healed, but when Krys had dug the plug out of his thigh, they’d discovered it was silver. Whatever else Matthias Ludlam was, he was cunning. Had to give him credit for that. And sadistic.

So instead of being back to normal in a couple of hours, he’d be useless until after his daysleep—maybe two daysleeps. He wouldn’t heal human slow, but it wouldn’t be vampire fast, either.

They’d first taken him into the medical ward with Melissa, but as soon as Krys dug out the bullet and offered something for the pain, Aidan had ushered him back into his room. Aidan and Krys wanted to spend time alone with Melissa, a good idea. New vampires needed mentoring to understand the changes in their bodies and how to control their impulses. Without that mentoring, some vampires turned out OK, but most turned into predators. It was their nature, after all, and Melissa was getting a late start.

Cage also didn’t want to be there when Melissa saw Mark again. He hoped for both their sakes that their love and their bond could withstand her being turned. For his own sake, he wished he hadn’t started to care so much. Her selflessness, even when she was in pain from her transition and facing a possible eternity with Matthias, had touched him like nothing he could remember.

Aidan had sensed his attraction to her that first night, and he’d be on the alert for any inappropriate attention from his British lieutenant.

No worries. Cage was the consummate professional. Which sometimes royally sucked.

The door to the hallway opened after a soft knock, and Aidan stuck his head in. “Can I talk to you a minute?”

“Sure.” Cage maneuvered to a seated position on the bed and propped his back against the wall. He had nothing but time and a boring novel that probably should never have been published.

“How’s the leg?”

“We need to get some of those bullets—they’re damned effective. Hurts like hell.”

Aidan smiled. “Already put them on Will’s shopping list for tomorrow night—he should be able to travel by then. That was my first question—is it safe to send anyone out of Omega?”

Cage thought about the areas he knew Matthias’s men were searching. “So far, as long as he’s careful. They haven’t fanned out as far as the Omega entrance. But are you sure you want to send Will on these runs? If Matthias captures you or me, he’ll eventually kill us. Will’s future would be worse than death.”

Aidan took a seat on the other bed. “I picked him because he’s fast and can think on his feet. I know he hates Matthias. Is there something I need to know from Matthias’s side of the story?”

Cage pondered his suspicions about Shelton, weighing Aidan’s need to know against Will’s right to privacy.

Aidan leaned forward, propping his elbows on his knees. “If it’s something that might impact his ability to do his job, you need to tell me. It won’t leave this room.
