Skin Walkers: Taken
Page 12
He hadn’t eaten or been able to drink anything since he’d left, and even now the scent of food that lingered in the room made him feel ill. The affliction was hitting him hard, and only one thing would end it. Only one thought consumed him. Harlow. He needed to find his woman and complete his claiming. His eyes snagged on a familiar form, and he hurried to where she stood at the far end of the cafeteria, setting out several tall plants.
“Hey, Nyree!”
She turned and smiled at him as he approached.
“How are you feeling? You okay?”
She nodded. “I’m good, Commander.”
He jerked his chin down in a nod, it was the best he could do right now as his eyes searched the room. “Rumor has it you’ve been working with Harlow getting the cafeteria up and running.” His eyes continued to search over her head. “Have you seen her?”
“Yeah,” Nyree stated excitedly. “She was taken from the Estate. She’s in for one hell of a surprise when she wakes up.”
That had Remy dropping his gaze to hers. “Taken from the Estate? Wakes up? Why would she be taken? Who took her?”
“It’s alright, Commander,” Nyree tried to soothe. “Delain has her. He’s been assigned to…” She snorted. “You’re not going to believe this, but apparently Harlow was in danger. The Megalya marked her as one of theirs, and the only way to keep her safe was for her to be mated to a Walker.”
Remy felt all the blood drain from his face.
“Delain took her to claim her. He said to let you know he’ll be back when the job is done.”
Claimed? Thousands of questions swirled through Remy’s mind, but he could only focus on one as he felt his chest and arms swelling with the feral need to shift and finds his Angel. “Where?” he snarled, the word coming out as an animalistic sound.
Nyree’s smile slipped. “D-don’t know. He was assigned by Monroe. Perhaps the Dominant…”
That was as far as Nyree got before a shift exploded from Remy, sending her flying backward and landing on her ass.
The claws of his mountain lion form ripped into the linoleum, shredding it as he propelled himself at top speed out of the cafeteria. Another Walker had taken his Angel, his mate, and was attempting to claim her before Remy got the chance. Someone would fucking pay, and they’d pay in blood!
