them.”
    Fetus?  The Walker will breed both you and the other female!   Nyree’s gaze cut back to Rohm as the Doctor’s words sunk in.  She and the woman holding the child were going to be given to whoever won, while whichever one lost was drained by the Megalya!
    Focused on Rohm and his wounds, Nyree didn’t at first notice the hand that slid from her ankle and up over her calf until it passed her knee and began massaging her thigh.
    “HEY!” she yelled at the creature touching her, her gaze snapping down.  It was the Megalya.  “Get your fucking hands off me!” 
    Her words drew Chambers’ attention too.  “No, Odium!  You killed the last one when you tried to claim.”  Lower, he muttered, “I’m finished trying for Megalya offspring!”
    The Megalya didn’t listen.  He titled his head first one way, then the other.  His beady black eyes studied Nyree as if seeing a female for the first time.  He inched his hand higher up her thigh, and Nyree screamed louder.  “I SWEAR TO GOD, IF YOU DON’T GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF ME…”
    Suddenly, Odium jerked his hand back and lifted his wrist to his mouth. Sharp teeth cut into pale flesh, then he was holding the wound over Nyree’s leg, blood dripped down onto her knee.  She screamed.
    “STOP IT!” Chambers barked as he rounded the table, stopping when the creature jerked his head toward the doctor and peeled back his lips, revealing bloody teeth as he hissed. 
    “You’ll…you’ll ruin her,” Chambers stammered, jabbing a finger toward the cage.  “How will I control the Keeper if you claim his female?  I’ll get you another!  You can’t have this one!”
    Rohm growled, drawing Nyree’s attention, and she realized he and Ash had stopped fighting.  Both men stood gripping the bars of the cage in white-knuckled fists as their eyes locked on Odium.
    “Look what you’ve done!” Chambers whined.  “Get out!”  He pointed toward the door. “Get out, now!”  He stormed to the door, holding it open.  When the monster didn’t move, he threatened, “Do I need to get Sam?” 
    That got Odium’s attention, and he stalked angrily toward the door, stopping to stare back at Nyree for long moments before disappearing.  The guards escorted the woman and child out behind him.
    “HARPER, SOFIA!” the Walker bellowed, but his family was already gone.
    Chambers snapped at the remaining guards, “Get the Walker into a cell!”
    Ash was pulled from the cage by one guard while the other, kept his gun trained on the Walker in a threatening stance.  Rohm made no move to attack, his eyes still glued to Nyree as his hands gripped the bars of the cage nearest her.
    Once Ash was secured, the twisted little freak turned and stalked from the room without so much as a word, his last two goons following.  When the door closed behind them with a loud bang, Nyree relaxed back on the table and stared at the ceiling.  Frustrated tears welled as she screamed, “ROHM!  HOW THE FUCK DO WE GET OUTTA HERE?”   Her voice broke on a sob, and she turned her face toward the door to keep Rohm and Ash, from seeing her cry.
    “Calm, Nyree.”  Rohm’s voice was gentle as he spoke.  “It’ll be alright.  I’m going to get us out.”
    She didn’t believe him though.  If he had a plan, it’d already be in action, and right now she was strapped to a table, covered in her own blood and that of the Megalya.  Lifting her head, she looked at where his blood stained her knee. It tingled.  She tried to shake her leg, desperate to remove it from her skin.  Chambers’ words led her to believe that Odium putting his blood on her had something to do with claiming, and she would not be claimed by that disgusting monster!

Chapter 6
    Rohm couldn’t drag his eyes from Nyree.  Even from this distance he could scent her anguish, tears, and blood. So much blood! Her frustration and fear were so overwhelming Rohm was having a hard time keeping Zavier from charging
