I jerked my head toward the deep growl. I knew that growl. I knew all of them. But the beast still claimed me. The beast was all I felt. Kill…kill…you…I tried to find that deadly hunger, but I couldn’t.
These men sounded different.
They sounded…familiar.
Click.
The pressure around my throat fell away, the steel hitting the hard floor with a clang.
“Easy now,” the male beside me urged, taking a slow step backwards. “We’re not here to hurt you.”
That bestial sound rumbled in the back of my throat as he stepped closer, lifting his hands. “Easy now, son…it’s just me. It’s Guild.”
Guild?
I shook my head as he reached for me, that low, threatening sound rumbling deeper.
“Careful.” That voice echoed. Brother. Brother.
I sucked in a hard breath, tasting blood. But underneath that foul, metallic tang came something else. A…sweetness. A scent that was familiar. Pressure came at my neck, but I was transfixed by that scent and by the…by the…name. Brother.
Snap.
“Easy now.” The male beside me urged. “Your feet.” He sounded nervous. “I just need to...” He sank to the floor beside me. I followed the movement, looking down at him. My lip trembled, curled and tight.
Snap.
The shackles fell away with a dull clank.
“Come on.” That deep growl came from deeper in the room. “Let’s get you the fuck out of here.”
Are you dead?
Are you dead?
Those words resounded, booming, as the shadows shifted and moved all around me. This was too much. This was…
Are you dead?
I flinched at the words in my head. My heart was pounding. That…that voice in my head was screaming. That voice that knew something.
Brother.
Brother.
Brother…
I lunged, charging for them. A cry came. Softer, different as the roars descended.
“DON’T HURT HIM!” That deep roar rebounded off the walls in the cell.
I sucked in that sweet scent, drawing it down with the burn as I slammed into a body, sending it flying. A hard grunt followed. Boom…BOOM…BOOM!
Fight.
Fight.
Get out of here.
