Two cops at the far end of the room immediately pressed a few buttons. There was a beeping noise, and the cell opened.
I slipped out, and Tori immediately tugged me to her side, hugging me fiercely. She wore a bunch of perfume to hide her scent, as always. She smelled even better to vampires than I did, for whatever reason. “You okay?”
“I’m good.”
“We’re not letting you leave without giving us answers,” Madd said bluntly, stepping between us and the door.
I put myself between him and Tori. “We pissed off some other vampires and needed a place to hide out. Believe me, we’ve come to understand why vampires don’t live here. None of your humans are interested in feeding us.” My words were clipped, and notentirelytrue.
We hadn’t tried feeding from any of the humans in town. Hadn’t deemed it worth the risk.
But there was enough truth in my answer to give the werewolves what they wanted.
“Now, since you clearly don’t have any legal grounds to keep us here, we’re leaving,” Tori said curtly.
Bauther stepped out of the way, but Madd caught my hand as I slipped past. With one tug, he spun me toward him.
Tori grabbed my arm, but Madd’s grip on my wrist was secure.
“You are my mate,” he said, his voice low.
“Fuck you.”
His eyes flashed in challenge. “Is that an offer?”
A humorless laugh escaped me. “Go to hell,Madd.”
When I yanked my wrist away from him, he let me go.
But if I really was his mate, theletting gobit wouldn’t last. I didn’t know how the process worked, but I was absolutely certain that supernaturals lived and breathed for their mates.
And that didn’t bode well for me in the slightest.
Toriand I kept our eyes down as we made our way out of the police station and to our car. I didn’t even think about my purse or my phone until we were driving back home.
I gave her a rundown of everything that had happened as she navigated us through town.
When I finished the story, Tori sighed, running a hand through her hair. Her eyes remained on the road. “What a mess.”
Blood would help, but I didn’t know if it would fix anything. I would need more than one blood bag to make myself feel better, and I only had one.
“If you’re really mates, it makes sense that you wouldn’t be able to stop yourself from biting him. You’ve heard what the vampires said about finding a potential mate. Their blood smells so good, it’s basically impossible to walk away,” Tori said.
The lump in my throat swelled with the reminder about his scent.
And the taste of him on my tongue.
I hadn’t meant to slice through his lip, but I didn’t really regret it. Not when he tasted like heaven.
My stomach rumbled loudly.
“You haven’t had blood in three weeks?” Tori checked.
“Nope.”
“That didn’t help either, I’d imagine.”
It definitely hadn’t.
