Chapter Eleven

David leapt forward and cranked a forearm under Cole’s chin, but the guy wouldn’t budge his chokehold on Dani. Her face went bright red and then pale white.

If he didn’t do something, she was going to die in front of his eyes.

David pulled harder. “We need help in here!” he shouted over his shoulder. “Hurry!”

David gave one final wrench, twisting Cole to the right, and Dani jackknifed onto her side, gasping for air. A pair of nurses in scrubs and a lady in a white lab coat rushed into the room.

“He tried to kill her,” David told them, his voice high and shaky.

With a feral snarl, Cole turned all his strength on David. He pounced, pinning David to the floor by the face. Like he was going to squash his skull. David’s vision went wonky. And then Cole was gone, pulled off him, and David’s sight cleared.

The young female doctor stood over Cole with a used syringe in her hand.

“Don’t hurt him,” Dani said, her voice a scratchy whisper. “He doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

“What the hell is going on in here?” The doctor knelt and checked the pulse at Cole’s throat. “He was comatose twenty minutes ago.”

I cast a necromancy spell and woke him up. I’m a necromancer. So’s Cole. And Dani’s a witch. David’s head spun. Somehow, without his consent, his life had become a drama on the CW.

Anger overtook his good sense, and he cursed under his breath. She wasn’t his to care for and protect, but he was furious at Cole for daring to put his hands on her and furious with himself for not defending her better. God, if Cole had squeezed a little harder or for a little longer…

“He came to,” Dani hissed, clutching her throat, pink marks already visible on her soft skin.

David hopped up to help her stand—the least he could do after not preventing the assault—but she shied away. Was that rejection number eighty? Or eighty-one? He tried not to take it personally, but Jesus, he wasn’t contagious.

“No shit,” the doctor snapped. Then to the nurses in the doorway she said, “Get Tommy. We need to lift Mr. Burkov into bed.” Because Cole was out cold from whatever the doc had pumped into him. “You two stay where you are,” she ordered.

While a pair of hospital staff got Cole tucked into bed, the doctor turned her angry gaze upon David and Dani.

“What happened?” Pointing at the spell circle, she asked, “And what is that?”

David scrubbed out his hastily drawn marks with the sole of his shoe. “I must have tracked something in. Sorry.”

“We’re friends.” Dani gingerly massaged blood back into her throat. “He sat up and freaked out.”

If Cole wasn’t already unconscious, David would knock him senseless. Some friend he’d turned out to be. They should have left him asleep.

David said, “I thought he was going to kill her. And then he attacked me.”

The doctor narrowed her eyes at Dani. “Do you want me to look at your throat?”

“No.” Dani nodded at the bed.
