Chapter Sixteen

“Whatever you hear or do, don’t open this door,” Paul growled while turning to face the door.

A step away from the suspicious edgy earthling, Jake watched the gawky Paul and his silent mate run through the doorway of their standard sterile and boring personal quarters into the white corridor beyond.

So, this Mawshwuc was on the loose and caused a freaking lockdown? The door would lock if that was true. And there was no way out of this sardine can. He jumped into the doorway.

The edge of the sliding door snapped into his chest and wedged him into position as if the hatch worked with Paul to keep him in place.

Why would inanimate objects behave any differently than sentient beings on this cruise ship heading for war with shanghaied crew members? After Paul’s strange touchy behavior had amplified beyond nervousness over the past two hours, beads of sweat had poured down the man’s forehead. Blood lust at its best. They guy should have just sent me back to my quarters. Trying to juggle my sanity to save my miserable stud hide from Paul’s heedless nitpicking wasn’t easy. More like a game of Russian roulette with me sitting as the target and Paul’s wife holding the torch. But the earthling and his mate were now gone.

The passageway hummed with an eerie unwavering sound.

Where was the crew? Locked away? That was a tactical maneuver?

Maybe standing here, pinned by a door, was foolish. All I need do is shove my way loose. What would a lesser-evolved psychic gain from having the opportunity to roam the ship when the crew quaked behind locked doors because a damned bloodsucker was free? And Kindrist was out there. Somewhere. Somebody had to do something. Especially with wimpy Paul out to save the universe. But were Kindrist and the child endangered?

Hell, if Goro’s bad decision-making got Kindrist into a tight situation....

And the last thing a man needed was his more-evolved wife being controlled like a puppet by some psychic bastard. Besides, all her non-reactive spunk was kind of nice. Familiar in a mercenary kind of way. Not that she needed to hear that. But there was a time and a place for sitting still. The moment demanded defying orders. Orders from goof Paul? Jake snorted, wriggled his fingers beneath the door’s stiff edge, and leaned into the tightness.

The pinching force gave.

The mass slid backward.

He jumped into the corridor.

The door swooshed shut at his heels.

Locked out. Did security really matter in this foreign place? Especially when you were locked in anyway.

Why cling to an alien ship for safety?

Time to kick some creepy alien ass. Well, figuratively. Nobody had seen fit to outfit him with weapons. Hopefully, a sharp mind and honed reactions would be enough to ensure the woman carrying his child was safe. He took a step down the hall.

A blood-curdling wail howled through the ship.

What made the ungodly sound? The thing had to be a were-mate. Did that mean two or just one padded around the The Seeker? A vampire and at least one were-wolf.
