Chapter Sixteen

Kallie knew time was short as she hurried across the compound in search of Doc. Damn me for wearing high heels. Had she known she’d been sneaking around the compound behind Taber’s back to see Doc, she’d have worn flats when she left her room.

I just need security. I can’t let them get me again. I can’t live like that…ever. She picked up her pace and upon arriving outside the medical suite, she paused for a moment, trying to calm her nerves before pushing open the door.

Doc, wearing his white lab coat, sat behind a microscope. “Kallie, I heard you were recovering well since Bethany healed you. What can I do for you?”

“I don’t have a lot of time to explain, but I need something from you.” She inhaled a deep breath, choosing her words carefully because she wasn’t sure what Ty wanted the clan to know about her. “Long story short, I was held prisoner for a long time by someone. It was part of the reason they attacked the compound the other day. It’s also why I drank the poison. There’s no simple way to say this except I’m leaving the compound for a while and I need a security measure…just in case they capture me.” He opened his mouth as if to interrupt her, but she held up her hand. “Doc please, I’d rather be dead than be tortured like a caged animal again. I can’t. Please help me.” Tears tumbled down her cheeks. She knew she was weak for taking the easy way out, but she had to have a backup plan.

“Kallie, sit down and let us discuss this.” He scooted his chair from the desk and pointed to the chair next to him. When she sat, he continued. “I know about the last poison you took and I’m astonished you survived. If Galen hadn’t come to us and brought Bethany into her ability, I’m not sure you would have survived. The counteragents I have for the poison would have left irreparable damage behind. To drink it again may certainly kill you.”

“That’s why I want it. You don’t understand what it was like.”

“You’re right, I don’t understand what you went through, but this can’t be what you want. Have you talked to your mate about this? Would you give it all up when you know he’d move heaven and earth to save you if something ever happened to you?”

For the first time in a long time, words abandoned her. She had no answer.

“Are you going to answer Doc’s question?” A deep husky voice spoke from behind her.

She turned to see Taber leaning against the doorframe, a duffle bag at his feet, and his arms crossed over his chest. His hair, still damp from the shower, had little curls forming, stealing her breath. “I thought…”

“When I left Raja’s quarters I caught your scent heading in the opposite direction from your room. I followed it and ended here.” He pushed from the doorway and walked toward her.
