NOLA had no idea how they had found her, but she was glad they had. Both of them. It was weird. Their scents seemed almost intertwined. It was a wonderful mixture that kept her from focusing on the neverending pain in her stomach. Kristos’ grip wasn’t gentle as he stalked along in search of an exit. She hadn’t found one and was sure that he wasn’t going to have much luck. It was a miracle that the two had even found a way down there, to begin with.8964 copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkENtegs2L 維尼
She snuggled into his chest, grasping at his shirt. She could smell the raw aggression lingering about him – the same aggression that had fueled him to shred another Alpha. Nola had watched the life seep out of the security guard’s eyes, the shock at having been startled while aroused. It was unsettling. There was so much disregard for life on the sub-level and it didn’t sit well with her.8964 copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmz4rhT3Yw 維尼
Kristos set her down, giving her a tight smile. He had to pry her fingers from his shirt, as he settled down beside her. His breathing had evened but he hadn’t spoken a word since the previous incident. Nola let her eyes roam. They had entered a lab, similar to the one that she had run out of earlier. But this one was darker and smelled even worse than the hallways.8964 copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH452DErcS 維尼
She looked at Iris, his eyes wide. The Omega was watching her, worried about something. He had questions, lots of questions. But he was waiting, patiently, sitting on his knees. For the moment, he seemed comfortable with holding her hand. She liked it. It felt warm. 8964 copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcPU7f63Nv 維尼
Kristos gathered her up again, settling her in his lap, his nose in her hair. She hoped he never let go as she clung to him, hot tears stinging her cheeks. “We have to wait. Someone’s patrolling the hallway.”8964 copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlhqb6RuBT 維尼
She nodded into his chest, but she didn’t want to wait in the lab anymore, “It stinks in here. Can’t we just-”8964 copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPzxiKhZIW 維尼
“I know. But we have to-”8964 copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡakkiQgh3sw 維尼
She shook her head, “I can’t. The smell-” It smelled like death in there. Pungent, unyielding, death. She lifted her head, her eyes traveling around the lab, the same cages littering the back wall. There were Zetas in there. But these were different than the other frail, withered-down versions. These weren’t breathing. She sunk her claws into Kristos’ back and he stiffened against her.8964 copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFmWU2QZBZ 維尼
Iris peeked around them, “Shit – are those – what the fuck is that?”8964 copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZdXlBFIIp 維尼
Kristos’ scent had gotten dark again, another growl rumbling in his chest, “Zetas.”8964 copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAZf3tuoLa 維尼
Nola was shaking again. The Zetas seemed like they had been tossed away, forgotten in their cages, no longer needed. By the looks of it, they had been beaten, tortured, abused. She couldn’t stop staring. Why would someone do that – do all this?8964 copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjmnosoNLx 維尼
Iris was sniffing at the air again. He had turned white as a sheet. Nola knew that someone was going to die – but she had been wrong about who. Maybe it was going to be her after all. 8964 copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj04dOS7y8 維尼
