For some reason, when Jared recovered consciousness, it was to the clear realization that he’d been imprisoned once more. He groaned at the feeling of déjà-vu. He was getting sick of being attacked by vampires, having his blood sucked and being forced into sleep.

Then again, the situation had turned even worse, out of the frying pan and into the fire, so to speak. At least with Tomas, he’d been safe. The man didn’t want to hurt him, not physically. Jared winced as he remembered their last conversation. That had hurt since it hit dangerously close to home.

Tomas had a right to be angry. Jared had begged and pleaded to be touched, and then suddenly announced he had another mate. Could he have been any more tactless? He didn’t blame Tomas for his reaction. But Jared couldn’t help it. He wanted them both—Zongxian, with his quiet fire, and Tomas, with his pure, carnal passion.

His eyes widened as he recalled the scene in front of Reese’s house. Tomas had been there, but another man had joined him, a man Jared still dreamed about. Zongxian Long. When had Zongxian come back, and why had he been with Tomas?

“Oh, you’re awake,” a voice said suddenly, drawing him out of his musings.

Jared looked toward the speaker and saw a man lounging on a comfortable-looking armchair, a book in his lap. “Who are you?” Jared asked. “What do you want with me?”

“I’m Izador,” the man replied. “And I don’t want anything with you. I’m just guarding you.”

Jared had a feeling there was more to it than that. “Right.” A brief memory flashed through his mind, the image of the same man bursting inside Reese’s house. “You were there. You were with the kidnappers.”

Izador nodded, his dark bangs covering his eyes. “It’s my job.”

Jared didn’t continue the conversation. People who had no minds of their own irritated him. He tried to get up, but found that he was tied to the bed. Unsurprisingly, when he attempted to shift the cuffs to reach the clasp, he realized that doing so just moved the padding around. Without it, his bare skin came into contact with the silver of the bindings. He hissed in pain, knowing that in his already weakened state he had little chances of escaping silver cuffs. What to do now?

The minutes passed as Jared tried to come up with a plan. He must have been taken to the vampires’ base. They kept him alive to draw his family into a trap. Had they already removed his piece of The Spirit from his body? He didn’t feel any different, but that didn’t give him any guarantees.

In an effort to distract himself, Jared found himself analyzing Izador. The man didn’t pay him any heed, but Jared didn’t expect him to. Perhaps he could get the vampire to help him out.

“Why are you keeping me here?” he asked.

“Agusto is,” Izador replied, “not me.”

Jared remembered Agusto was the leader of the vampires, the one who had nearly broken his spine and choked the life out of him.
