I try to stretch out, but it hurts too much to move.

“Here,” Dice says, leaning up and tugging his shirt over his head. He tosses it to me, and I hold it against my gaping wound.

“Thanks.”

“I meant for you to put it over your dick. I’m not overly fond of my girlfriend’s head being so close to it.”

Rolling my eyes, I flip him off. Zee snickers in the front as he drives like hell to get us home.

“You don’t look so good,” Dice points out more seriously.

“Probably has something to do with the fact I’m fucking bleeding to death and my girl is running rampant and killing who knows who.”

He studies me for a moment before saying, “Nah. It’s your hair. Do something different? Don’t do it again.”

I try to laugh, but it only hurts to do so. I know what he’s doing, even if he is annoying as fuck. But my mind is still on Roslyn no matter how much he tries to distract me from it.

“She should have had slave markings,” Zee points out. “She was a part of the slave rings for two years. She should have had the marks like all the others.”

It’s only one of the many mysteries at our feet.

“Sadie is involved,” Dice says on a sigh. “She’s from Freya too, and we’ve already established the fact that she’s a master of magic. Somehow she made it to where not even Karma could tell she was more than human. Hiding slave marks would be a breeze in comparison.”

True. Fucking Sadie. What did she do to her?

“I’d like to kick Reese’s ass for lying to us,” Zee grumbles. “He sent a text asking where she was when we called him out on his shit. He seemed impatient, considering he sent me at least five texts within a two minute period. He really wants this girl. You ready to fight him for her?”

I don’t say anything, but I’m starting to piece together what stake Reese has in all of this. At least Zee doesn’t sound like he’s ready to kill her.

Dice… I’m not so sure about.

Karma shifts against me, mumbling something before snoring louder, and I wince when her head moves over my cock.

“Why don’t you have a change of clothes with you?” Dice groans.

“I do. But again, I’m fucking bleeding to death. I don’t give a damn if my nakedness is a discomfort to you.”

Zee snorts derisively just as we finally reach my house. As he passes by on our way to Gage’s home, I glance over to see Roslyn’s lights on. It’s probably just Jenny, but—

“I’ll go check it out. In case you didn’t notice, Jenny’s car was missing from the road,” Zee tells me.

“Did mindreading come with your shiny new powers?” I ask, trying not to sound as worried as I feel. I want to be out there looking for her.

It takes only a couple of minutes to reach Gage’s house, and Dice is the first one out. He opens the back door before gingerly lifting Karma out and carrying her inside my house.

Zee comes to help me out, but as soon as Dice is out of earshot, he whispers, “I’ll go looking for her. She’ll be hunting if she’s in wolf form since her animal instincts are in control. I won’t hurt her.”

Zee has never been a liar, so I don’t hesitate to trust him.

“Thanks.”

He nods once while helping carry me inside.

“Is it weird the damn creature god seemed more interested in you than any of us?” he asks. “You’re the only one he actually hurt.”

Like I so often do when I’m annoyed, confused, or irked, I crack my neck to the side. “It was because I was going to Roslyn. He knew. Somehow, that bastard knew what she was, and he was trying to lure her into changing.”

Zee blows out a breath as Dice meets him at the door to help him carry me in. Alyssa sprints in from the back, carrying several packs of blood that she rips open and essentially shoves into my face.
