Cambion Lord (Dark Warrior Alliance #23) - Brenda Trim Page 0,69
She licked her lips and her eyes fell to his mouth. “Go to your friend. Don’t make me wait long though. You wouldn’t want me to leave.”
Hayden got lost in her gorgeous brown eyes for a second. “I’ll give him his drink then leave. Should we meet on the dance floor or at the door?”
Her eyes darted around the club before landing on him. She swallowed and bit down on her bottom lip. “How about the door?”
Hayden pressed his mouth to hers one more time, this time he made it fast. He was walking away and tipping his drink back to cool his arousal. He needed to keep his shit in check. Millie was human.
“Looked like you made a friend,” Jason quipped as he took his drink.
“I did. I’m stepping out for a few. Lydia and a few others are over there. Hang with them. I’ll be back soon.”
Hayden left before Jason could respond. Sweat broke out over his forehead and his heart started thumping hard in his chest. He was breathless with everything. Wiping his forearm across his face, he wondered why Millie affected him this way.
The cool, fresh air outside was a welcome relief. He saw Millie leaning against a car to the right of the entrance. She was wringing her hands and glancing behind the side of the building.
Hayden took a deep breath as he approached her. His steps faltered and he caught himself on her car. He drank that drink awfully fast, but that couldn’t be making him unsteady. What the fuck is going on? As Omega nothing should affect him this severely.
“You okay?” Her voice was high pitched and hurried.
Warning signals fired off in his mind, but he had a hard time figuring out why. “I’m fi…fine.” He should call Jason and ask him to come out here.
Hayden turned when he heard the bar door open and saw Jason. Thank the Goddess he came out here. The world swam when he turned back to tell Millie he would see her later.
Several things happened too fast for Hayden to track. Jason shouted a warning at the same time a black van stopped next to them and at least six guys jumped out. They all carried guns and were wearing military uniforms.
Hayden swung a fist, but never connected with anyone. His body fell against the van. He tried to call his animals, but nothing happened. His heart was racing so fast now he wouldn’t be surprised if he went into heart failure.
Countless hands landed on his body and he was thrown inside the van. Whoever these fuckers were, they could hurt Millie. He threw his fists out and jerked his body trying to get away and help her.
He stopped cold when he heard her voice. “Subdue him and secure him to the seat. We don’t know what his kind are capable of.”
Metal cuffs wound around his wrists at the same time a fist slammed into the side of his skull. He growled and flashed sharp canines at the humans pushing him down. The van peeled out and hit something. The vehicle swerved after a loud bang echoed through the space.
Millie’s face entered his line of sight. Since the first time he saw her, he lost his breath and wanted to kiss her. This bitch had just kidnapped him and was taking him Goddess knew where and he still ached for her.
“I’m sorry about this, but we need to understand what you are.” Millie’s expression was pained. She twisted to the side and returned with a needle in her hand.
Hayden barely felt the sharp prick when she jabbed it into his arm. Warmth spread as she plunged the liquid into his veins. His vision immediately blurred, and his tongue felt thick. “I’ll make…you…pay,” he snarled right before he passed out.
Chapter 19
“Fuck.” Dante’s curse fell from his lips at the same time his chest constricted as if a vice had closed around his heart, and he stumbled into Jett.
Jett growled as he spun around and caught Dante awkwardly. The warrior took several steps to steady them while scanning the area for the threat. “What happened? You okay?”
Dante panted and clung to him while his connection to Chloe strengthened and solidified. He couldn’t respond to Jett. He was consumed with his mate. She was in immense pain. She’d picked him. That was the only reason their bond would suddenly spring into being like this. His mind blanked and went in a million different directions at the same time.
