Levi’s secret lair had turned out to be an ordinary medical laboratory. I had almost expected to be greeted by a dark room with giant glass cases filled with humanoid shapes submerged in some kind of gloopy substance. But it was a bright white space, clean and very clinical.

“Are you a Doctor or a scientist?” I asked as he finished taking another vial of my blood.

“I’m actually both. I trained as a Doctor but my desire to question the unknown pushed me down a more research-based path. Here in the Conclave, I am given the opportunity to do both. My research has proven invaluable and I am also very adept at patching up the various different species that find their way into the Med Bay. All done for now.” He smiled up at me as he placed a plaster on the injection site.

“That’s it? No Reaping experiments?” I was disappointed. I thought we were going to start getting some answers.

“I need to examine your blood work first. It will give me a better idea of what we’re looking at. Besides, you’ve been through a lot. I think some rest will do you a world of good.”

“But…”

“Doctor’s orders, Lori. Now, Jasper should be here to take you back to the Base. I think you’ll be staying with Jasper and his team for a while. I’ll go find him.”

I wasn’t left alone for long. Jasper strode into the room and his gaze immediately locked with mine. My heart soared at the sight of him.

I saw his nostrils flare and his gaze flicked to the vials Levi had left on the counter next to me. His jaw visibly clenched and his eyes darkened to a deep sapphire blue. My pulse spiked in anticipation. Heat pooled at my core and I suddenly wanted to feel him against me. To feel his skin against mine, his mouth on my flesh, his back beneath my nails as I marked him as mine.

Mine.

Whoa. That was not a natural response. What the fuck?

A soft growl filled the air. Wait. That was me. I made that sound.

Jasper took a step toward me.

Yes, come to me. Take me.

“Well, she’s free to go.” Levi walked back into the room and the tension snapped like a rubber band. Jasper’s face fell in horror and dread settled in my stomach. What the hell was that?

Levi looked between us, clearly oblivious to the fact that I was about to throw myself at the vampire.

“Shall I come back tomorrow, Levi?” My voice was breathy, and I still had my eyes locked with Jasper’s.

“Only if you feel up to it. Have Jasper or one of his team escort you here when you’re ready. It’s dangerous out there.” Levi came up to me and gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. The movement distracted me from staring at Jasper and Levi’s cool green gaze found mine. Jasper took that moment to leave the room. He was leaving me behind again. He was such a pain in the ass.

“Better catch up.
