I thought hard about Percy's offer. You would think it would be a simple answer. I hate the Scientist, they hate the Scientist, but there's a lot to think about. If I say yes, I'll have to be 100 times more careful. I interact with the Scientist the most. I will also be the one taking the most risk. I know I'll be the one expected to mess with his things. Granted, having Percy will minimize that risk. I looked at Kiran. Would he be safer or in more danger if I do this? I can't decide until I know, but the only way to know is to tell Percy. Can I really trust him? My head was going to burst. This was too much to think about… too many choices to make. "Percy, tell me something." I started, still staring at Kiran. He still hadn't looked back at me. "What's our chances of beating him with me joining you?" "It's hard to really say. There's so many things that could happen." He answered honestly and I appreciated that. He wasn't trying to give me any fake promises. "Estimate for me. How

We pulled into the lab and Percy didn't comment. Seems Scientist must be pleased, or at least not angry. Time to try to get Emerson's car back. We entered the house making our way to the center room. Scientist waited for us there. He held his hand out and Percy handed him the vile. I have to remember that I'm not supposed to know what is in it. I watched Percy carefully. He'd been acting for over a year now. He's really good at it. Before tonight I had no idea he was forming a plan. Hell, even Emerson didn't give me an inkling. I hope I can do the same. "Very good. Zerena, were there any problems?" He asked. "The vile wasn't in the safe, but I got it." I answered honestly. I could tell he knew something and this was a testing question. "I'm impressed you still got it. Tell me how's Alpha Everett doing?" I knew it, he knew. Percy tensed, the movement was so small, I almost didn't notice it. "Strong." I answered him."Stronger than you?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowed. He se

'My name is Shade. I am your shadow.' The voice responded. 'My shadow?' 'I am the one that helps you control the shadows. The one that gives you more power. There is so much more you can do, but haven't been able to without me. Because I was taken from you at such a young age your body isn't used to me. You need to go to Kiran. He'll help you see again.' Shade explained. 'Why Kiran?' 'Because you don't have any strong bonds. The bonds you have with the people here are too weak. That's why they only created slivers of light. Kiran will illuminate all the darkness.' So that's what those slivers were. My small bond with each person here. I felt my back land on my bed. Percy laid me down gently. I could feel him hovering over me. "I'm sorry. This is my fault." He whispered. Something wet hit my hand. Is he crying? "Don't be. I'll be fine. As far as experiments go this wasn't bad. He gave me something back that was mine. Go to bed Percy. I'll be fine." I tried to comfort him. Altho

Kiran's P.O.V."FUCK!" I yelled, throwing my pillow against the wall. There were about a million and one questions running through my head now. I thought she'd be impressed, instead she was nervous. Hell, she was pissed at the end. My blood was boiling. She can't just tell me what to do without an explanation. She can't demand I follow her every whim. I just met her! Yeah, according to Tate I may be hers, but I don't feel that right now. I feel like all she wants to do is control me. Like she wants to put me in a small box and keep me there, opening it to see me whenever she wants. Only she can tell me what I need to know. Only she can introduce me to other supernaturals. That's not how it's going to work. My curiosity won't be satisfied until all my questions are answered. I am a smart man. I don't feel right until I know it all. She refuses to answer a lot of my questions, so how does she expect me to learn? I just want to punch something right now. My blood is still boiling and

Percy and I met eyes for a moment. Scientist saw it. Good, he can think it's a love glance and not a panicked one. Down the rabbit hole we went. Only it wasn't wonderland, it was hell on earth. The horrid smell wafted into my nose again. How can he tolerate this smell all the time? Tap. Tap. His cane hit the metal slab. Up I went, only this time I am wasn't strapped down. He lifted my shirt and checked me over. It's like getting a physical, only so much more invasive. He poked and prodded me, making notes as he went. "Good, now get undressed." He told me. "What?" He's never asked me to fully undress before. "Oh come now. Overly emotional. You? Not very convincing." He didn't believe me. "Percy you as well." "You two are hiding something from me and I plan on discovering what it is." Well shit. I was so sure I was convincing.Percy was already taking his shirt off, showing the scratches I left on his back. I kept my emotions in check. I can't be embarrassed because according to

Kiran was sleeping on the bed peacefully. He had all kinds of wires sticking out of him. I could hear the beeping of his heart rate on the monitor beside him. He's alive. The sound of his steady heartbeat was easing my own. I felt a presence behind me at that moment, letting me know we weren't alone. I tensed and slowly positioned my body, ready to fight whoever it was. I turned slowly to see two familiar faces. I kept my body tense, but released my fists. It was Tate and the alpha. That explains how Kiran got here, but what exactly happened? "I was beginning to wonder if you would show." Tate muttered. He looked tired and stressed. "Seems you were having fun while he was dying." He pointed to the mark I had Percy leave on my neck. Then he pointed at Percy. "And you brought him here? Damn, you're cold." I was getting mad at his comments. I'm glad Kiran has friends that will defend him, but he doesn't know me. He doesn't know what's going on with me and I'll tear him apart if he kee

Kiran's P.O.V. I woke up to a steady beeping sound. My nose filled with an odd scent of wet dog and rubbing alcohol. It was an odd mixture to say the least. I felt a dull ache on my side, reminding me why I'm here in the first place. "Are you sure he's human? His wound has healed almost all the way now. That's not normal for a human." I heard a woman whispering. I pulled back the curtain around my bed. I saw Tate and Everett speaking with a nurse. They all turned to look at me when they heard the curtain move. "Hey buddy." Tate sounded weird. "Hey." My throat was oddly very dry. "How are you feeling?" The nurse asked me. "Tired. The pain isn't too bad considering I had a bullet in my side." I tried to laugh, but it didn't work. I almost died. "Lay back and rest. You're safe here." The nurse checked my IV and wrote my vitals before leaving. "I called your emergency contact on your employee file. I don't think the pizza place across from the club is a good emergency contact."

Zerena's P.O.V.Left in the dark again, only not alone. I couldn't see them, but I could feel Percy's eyes still on me. I don't know why, but it made me want to shrink down. "So what now Zerena?" Percy's tone was cold. "We pretend to have sex again." I muttered. "At some point pretending isn't going to be enough." Percy warned. "Well at that point, we'll pretend to break up." I snapped. "You think he'd let us?" Percy grabbed my wrist, pulling me towards him. "Probably not." I sighed. This will have to continue for a while. I really need to get better about bending the truth in front of the scientist. I gotta act like me yet not me. It makes my head hurt. I don't know how Percy's been doing this for so long. How do you keep up with all the lies? "So again, what now, Zerena?" He asked cooly."Now we assume he's listening and we moan while we pretend." I answered, frustrated. "I am still a guy, Zerena. There's only so much pretending I can take." He reminded me. Percy may wear a
