“Fuck!” Axl scrubs a hand over his face. “What was she thinking?”

“I think you all know that she was not thinking, only acting in a foolish desire to save you three,” Alexandros says, his voice stuffier than usual, before standing and briskly straightening his clothes. “So do not force yourselves to endure unnecessary pain by being overly harsh on her. She has been through enough already this night.”

My hands ball into fists. “Who had her? Did they hurt her?”

“Two of our own pledges. I believe they intended to use her as bait. But she was unharmed.”

“You killed them?” I ask.

He scowls. “Of course.”

“I bet it was Malone and Jensen,” Malachi says.

Using a girl half their size as bait sure sounds like their deal. They would have been ideal candidates for turning. Still, the desire to tear them both limb from limb for laying a finger on my girl burns hot inside me. Lucky for them the professor beat me to it.

Alexandros makes his way down the porch steps and heads out across the lawn.

Where are you going?I ask.

Away from hereis his only reply.

We stare after him until he disappears into the darkness.

Ophelia is sittingup in Malachi’s bed when we find her, the covers pulled up to her chin.

“I’m sorry. I thought you were all in trouble,” she blurts out as soon as we walk into the room.

Her eyes are red, and there are tear tracks streaked down her cheeks. Malachi crawls onto the bed and slowly pulls the comforter off her, revealing her body inch by delicious inch. She’s wearing panties and a tank top, and dammit, my cock is already hard. Whatever punishment I had in mind is pushed out of my head by thoughts of covering her sexy little body in bites and kisses so that I can remind myself that she’s mine.

He stops when he gets past her thighs and reveals a blood-stained strip of white fabric tied around her right knee. He presses a tender kiss on it, and she sucks in a deep breath that makes her juicy tits jiggle. I pull off my shirt.

“What happened, sweet girl?” he asks.

“I fell on a rock,” she says, a distinct tremor in her voice.

Axl growls. “Did anyone hurt you, princess?”

She shakes her head. “The professor found me before they could.”

I take off my jeans. “You know, Cupcake, we should put you on a leash after what happened tonight.”

Her eyes go wide.

“It’s the least we should do,” Axl agrees, pulling off his clothes now too.

Malachi peels off her tank top, and I crawl onto the bed, spreading her legs wide and running my nose up the inside of her thigh. I snap my teeth, feral to taste her.

“I won’t do it again,” she whimpers.

Axl joins us now too, his hand snaking up our girl’s thigh. “I was gonna take a shower, but I think we need to get Ophelia a little dirty first.”

Malachi nuzzles her neck. “Yeah, who needs a party when we can have so much more fun here?”

“There’s a party?”

Axl palms her pussy through her panties. “For all the pledges who made it.”

I flick my tongue over her skin and brush my nose over Axl’s hand. Ophelia’s head tips back. “Can we go?” she asks.
