sorts of decisions on her own for years. But there was something more going on here, so she kept her mouth closed. This was not going to end well.
“Who is she?” When the man looked at her, she shrugged. There was no way she was telling this asshole who she was. He didn’t like her. And for that reason alone, she didn’t trust him. “Kaleb, I just want to meet your mate. Is that so bad?”
“Yes.” Still holding his brother around the throat, Kaleb took him out of the room. She had no idea what happened on the other side of the closed door, but when Samuel came in frowning seconds later, she decided that she needed to get the hell out of there.
“Where are my clothes?” He didn’t bother telling her that she wasn’t healthy enough to leave the hospital, but pointed to one of the many cabinets on the wall. But getting to them proved to be something she wasn’t sure she could do. “Help me?”
“I don’t think so. Touching you right now could get me killed.” Thor looked at the closed door, then at Samuel as he continued. “He might say he’s not possessive, but he’s a little on the pissed off side right now, and he might hurt me.”
“Whatever.” She tried again to get up, but all she managed to do was hurt herself. The scream that spilled from her mouth was out before she could stop it, and she found herself pressed back against the bed by Kaleb. This time his anger was directed at her.
“Stay still.” She tried to brush him off , but he leaned down close to her ear and Thor felt herself wanting to bring him into the bed with her and wanting her gun at the same time. “I will join you there if you don’t behave.”
“Get out of here.” He nipped her lobe , and she felt her body respond like he’d set her afire. Before she could do something stupid, like whimper, she curled her fingers into his hair and jerked him back. “I said to get out of here.”
“I can smell you. You smell like sex.” Suddenly, sex was all she could think about. When he kissed her throat, she did whimper then and looked into his eyes when he lifted his head. “We need to talk. Samuel said you have no idea what we are.”
“Kaleb, perhaps this can wait.” Kaleb stood up and looked at Samuel as he continued. She ignored them both, trying her best to get her breathing under control as well as her body. Looking down at herself, she realized that most of what had happened to her seemed to have healed too quickly.
“What the hell happened to me?” Both men looked at her. “And I don’t mean at the big house. Why do I look like I’ve only had a slight accident and not someone cutting me to shit and back? Spill it.”
Samuel flushed. She wasn’t going to get anything from him unless she hurt him. And as much as she wanted answers , she wasn’t up for taking him on right now. Instead, she looked at Kaleb. He didn’t seem all that anxious to answer her, but he did sit down.
“How much do you remember?” Shivering, she didn’t answer him, but he seemed to understand. “We found you from your connection to Samuel. When we got there, we had to take out a few of—”
“We who?” He grinned at her, and she had the sudden urge to smack the shit out of him. “If you called the police, you’d not be allowed in here. For that matter, where am I?”
“Pride Clinic. It’s a private hospital that answers only to Samuel.” Kaleb nodded to Samuel as her buddy sat down. “He owns this place and a few others. We answer to no one.”
“So you’re big cheese now. Good for you both. But that does not tell me how I managed to heal so quickly.” When neither of them answered, she nearly told them to fuck off. But someone appeared in the room. And she knew that he didn’t come through the fucking door.

Kaleb watched her closely. She was taking this better than he’d thought she would. She was a little freaked out when Stephan suddenly joined them, but she didn’t scream or act all girly when he took a
