hellhounds applauded and laughed. Peyton snarled at them before turning his attention back on Brendan who stood over his mate, growling. It was a small relief that at least Brendan didn t go after his mate. Rayce, Peyton and Malach attacked as one and Brendan was down once again. It went on forever, hours. Peyton was so sore and in such agony, he could barely stay on his paws. Rayce was fierce and protective of him, and they finally had to go in shifts to get rest. They 94 Full Moon Gamma were all seriously injured now. All of them sporting deep wounds and bites, even Avery and Whitley. Brendan had wounds from them and Ripley. Peyton wasn t as severely hurt as the guards, but he was just praying to the creator, Geri, that first light of day would come shine through those fucking industrial doors. Finally, as the first ray of light slipped through the cracks of the windows, Ripley and Brendan shifted. Peyton screamed as his human side took over and he slumped naked on the floor below. No one was moving. Everyone was silent, even the hellhounds. Whoever hasn t bled to death by tonight, kill them. Those who have work, go. Renulf, take a horde and patrol the city. The leader of the hellhounds stood and walked out. The other hellhounds followed in his wake and Peyton didn t even have the energy to lift his head when the door slammed and they were all alone. There was no moaning or groaning, which scared the hell out of Peyton. Am I the only one left alive? Peyton screamed as, with everything he had, he pulled himself up to all fours. The morning after a first shift usually landed your ass in medical for three days. With what his body had been through plus a first shift, he probably shouldn t even be alive. 95 Jackie Nacht He crawled over to where Rayce was, his mate s naked flesh was covered in deep bite wounds and blood. He had fought ferociously for hours. Peyton s lips trembled as he drew near, seeing that Rayce was shallowly breathing. Rayce? Peyton lay down next to his mate. Rayce? Peyton sobbed out. Time passed and no one moved. Hope seemed to diminish. The sounds of a door opening had Peyton grimacing as he lifted his head. Daegal came stumbling in without his shirt on, hands covered in blood. He fell on his knees once before he righted himself and made his way to the cage, undoing the electrical. Bloody hands worked the lock and the thing disengaged. Leaning on the bars, Daegal made his way in, head turning, searching. Peyton called, voice weak and shaky, Daegal. Coming over, Daegal pulled Peyton to his feet, grimacing. We need to move. Daegal began dragging Peyton out of the industrial building and Peyton protested, The others. My mate. Are too injured to make the hike into town. Daegal growled before he continued, If we hurry and get help, we can save them. My mate, Peyton began. He couldn t leave Rayce behind. 96 Full Moon Gamma Interrupting him, Daegal spoke softly, Need you to run for help. The words sunk in, and Peyton got his ass in gear, taking one last look over his shoulder at Rayce lying in the cage. Would he ever see him again? Fuck yes, he would. He was determined to get help for his mate no matter how broken his body was. The sharp pain shooting up his leg as he walked almost made him collapse. Daegal stopped at the side of the building, pulling out a pair of sweats, shoes and gloves. You ll need to cover your injuries as best you can. Daegal leaned against the building, blowing out a breath. How did Daegal get injured? They ll smell my blood. Peyton winced and almost vomited as he put the gloves on, the feeling of his nail-less fingers against the cotton was just one of the many things he could barely handle right now. They won t, and if those fuckers would have been paying attention last night instead of betting, you wouldn t be standing here right now. They would have killed you. Daegal turned to look at him with his sunglasses on. What are you talking about? Peyton pulled his shirt over his head, crying out in pain. 97 Jackie Nacht Daegal got in his face. Quiet! They won t find you because you have no scent. Not human or wolf. When you shifted, you disappeared. I can t even smell the blood you re drenched in. No scent? Peyton gasped as he leaned against the building for support. Handing him boots, Daegal shook his head. No scent. Is that what happens after your first change? Daegal is asking me? He didn t have a fucking clue. Why have you been helping us? It had been the question they all wondered. Grabbing him, Daegal ripped off his sunglasses. Scars riddled the face as if someone had tried to claw Daegal s eyes out. Peyton expected to see serious damage to the eyes, but what he came face to face with was bright sea foam green eyes. Daegal snarled in his face, He did this to me. He& infected& me, Daegal growled deeply. Peyton stared and realization dawned on him. All along, they thought Daegal was injured from one of them. Not fucking so. Peyton, pissed beyond reason, got right back in Daegal s face. You bit him, Peyton snarled. Daegal shoved him away and Peyton fell to the ground. The hellhound was grabbing his head and his bare chest and that s when Peyton noticed the deep scar where the hellhound s chest was, like he had tried to dig his own heart out. 98 Full Moon Gamma Shocked, Peyton stared up at him. Daegal was the one who bit Oren, the reason why Peyton could feel emotions from the hellhound was because he had somehow taken a piece of Oren s [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
