Chapter nineteen
Violetâs fragrance clung to Mac like a second skin. With every breath he took, the jaguar felt calm and at peace. She never left his mind, especially after last night. Their nightly escapades became his only solace in the facility as they explored more of each other. The jaguar couldnât explain the pull he felt to the blonde doctor, but he didnât question it. The emotions she created in him should have offended the jaguar, but he desired more with her instead.
As Mac sat in his chair, he relaxed as his thoughts carried to escaping the facility. It seemed impossible. Every time he tried to escape, the staff members caught on. Could this be different since a staff member would be part of the escape mission? His boot tapped against the floor. It frustrated him not to know the outcome.
His eyes grew heavy. The jaguar exchanged his sleep for the past few weeks to see her. Exhaustion crept through the shifter. As he tried to fight it, his body grew heavier. He remained seated as his breath evened out. Get up, Mac. Easier said than done when sleep called to him.
Mac! Wake up!
âI know youâre scared. Donât deny it. I can smell it on you, brother.â Mac side-eyed 004 while Avel gripped the steel bars of the fighting arena. âItâs bound to happen. There is no stopping the first shift. Let it happen. Let them perform what they need to, and itâll all be over with. I swear to you after the first shift.â The soldier licked his lips as they all turned to the unconscious jaguar on the ground. âYou wonât ever shift again. Youâll make sure of it.â
Macâs eyes shifted to his brother before they returned their focus to Mica on the ground. Every day, the brothers denied their shift. Animals were barbaric creatures without thought or humanity, denying their second nature.
The staff taught them to suppress the animal side and be human. When a shifter didnât obey those rules, they were taken to a back room. Rarely did they come back. Before Micaâs shift, the brothers questioned nothing. They took their orders in stride and carried on like nothing was wrong. It was easier that way.
The jaguar under Macâs skin itched to come out to protect Mica, but he resisted. If he turned, Avel would be alone in the facility.
âWhat do we do?â Mac asked.
Avel shrugged. âHope he comes back wherever they take him.â His brotherâs voice barely reached his ears. We canât shift, Mac. We need to fight it.â
It wasnât even two weeks later until they shifted together in their sleep. As Mac woke, he gasped as he felt the cold steel table against his back. His skin crawled when the air conditioning breezed over his naked body. The young jaguar shut his eyes as he tried to ignore his nudity in the examination room.
âNever thought you to be the one as shy.â Matilda, the LPN of the facility, grinned. She walked over to him with her fingernails grazing his arm.
