Chapter Nineteen

Pain slashed through her middle, and she bit back a groan. Something was wrong, Was it her new matebond? Kimberley couldn’t tell. Maybe being mated to a Shifter created certain physical side effects.

She tried to breathe deep, but the stink of rot and Dark Magic made her woozy. Wait—how did she know what those smells were?

Because, was the growly reply in her head. Fuck. Now she was hearing things.

“Ready to meet your end?” her kidnapper taunted.

“You will never get away with this,” she growled her reply.

The man’s gaunt face stretched into a grotesque grin, his thin lips pulled tight over yellow and brown stained teeth. He was horrific to look at.

“Really? And who will stop me? Your mate is dead. Who knows? Maybe I will raise him to be part of my legion after I kill you, of course.”

He laughed aloud, the maniacal sound grating on her nerves. Kim wanted to hit him. He turned his head as if listening to something she could not hear before facing her, serious once more.
