Hearing this, a sarcastic smile touched Kael’s lips. His sharp eyes bore into me as if they could see right through my lie. “Alright then,” he said lazily. “Lead the way, little nurse.”
My heart skipped a beat.
I can’t go there. The whole thing was a lie. The morgue was a death trap. I’d die if I went!
I feigned composure and backed away slowly. “I can’t. I have other patients to attend to.”
I kept retreating until my back hit a chest as cold and unyielding as stone.
A large hand clamped around my waist, trapping me in a firm embrace. A voice, laced with a chilling warning, spoke from behind me. “Lead the way.”
Oh god, I’m actually going to cry. When did someone else get in the room? I didn’t hear a thing…
Kael clicked his tongue, annoyance flickering in his eyes as he looked at the man behind me. “Zane, don’t scare her.”
The man behind me grunted, his grip on my waist loosening slightly. But it still hurt!
I gritted my teeth, my mind racing with plans to lure both of these bastards into the morgue and let the monsters tear them apart.
“Little nurse, if you’d be so kind.” Kael rose and stood before me. His tall, nearly six-foot-three frame completely overshadowed me. With Zane behind me and Kael in front, I was perfectly boxed in.

It seemed I didn’t have a choice after all.
