Chapter 13

“Fix it!” Monroe demanded.

Dr. Jenny Arkinson, shook her head. “I can’t fix it, you know that.” She sat at the desk in her dimly lit office and watched him pace back and forth. “I can temper some of the effects. It’s the best I can do.”

“I’m out of control!” he snarled, stopping to sneer at her. “I could’ve hurt her!”

“You’d never hurt her,” Jenny supplied lamely, “she’s your angel. It goes against every instinct you possess.”

“You didn’t see me Jen.”

The use of a nickname was surprising and had her brows hiking. The CEO was all business, all the time, but as he stood in her office practically begging her to eradicate something he’d enjoyed seeing others inflicted with… Her lips tweaked as she dropped her head to feign studying his lab results for the umpteenth time. Good for him! God, how the women and mated Walkers had yearned for this day to come. Monroe deserved to know exactly what it was he’d forced so many of his own kind to face. He deserved an epic affliction and that’s exactly what was coming.

As the Dominant Walker in North America, his symptoms were more than heightened; they were off the chart. His compulsion to keep her secluded was a first. Typically, Walker’s merely needed to be in their angel’s presence, but not Monroe. He didn’t want Eden near anyone else. When King had arrived at the Infirmary to inform him that Eden had been sequestered, he’d nearly ripped the Chief of Security’s hands off as he jerked them to his nose to ensure King hadn’t laid a single finger on his angel.

He started pacing again and plowed a hand roughly into his hair. “Tell me again,” his tone was laced with impatience. “I’m having difficulty concentrating.”

Jenny didn’t bother hiding her smile this time. “That’s because your thoughts are consumed with claiming your angel. The affliction has set in Mr. StoneCrow. You have but only one recourse now.” Her smile broadened when she saw him pale. Just desserts!

It was well known that while he encouraged his Walkers to claim their mates, he was reluctant to do so himself. It was understandable. Heavy was the head that wore the crown, and his particular crown was made up of more thorns than jewels. Eden would be in danger, as would her children, by something as simple as mere association. They’d be targeted simply for belonging to Monroe. It was a fate he’d hoped to not only spare himself, but his angel as well.

“Give me the serum,” he demanded.

Jenny shook her head, “It won’t do you any good.”

“And why the hell not,” he snarled turning on her as his eyes flashed dangerously.

“Because,” she stood and planted her hands on her desk, leaning toward him, “you’re not suffering from the affects of failure to eat or sleep. You’re suffering from your need to claim.” She lifted her hands helplessly, “My serum doesn’t work for that.”

He knew it was true. Damn! He’d find no easy out here,
