Chapter 127
I rested my hand on the patient’s shoulder as I continued to read through their diagnosis in their chart. A few minutes passed before I heard something change on the monitor.
Turning my head, I watched the shocking numbers gradually start to drop. “I can still help,” I gasped, feeling triumphant.
Something suddenly caught my attention…A strange mark dotted the rogue’s neck. I was almost certain it wasn’t a birthmark of any kind. Which would mean that it was inflicted.
I wonder if any of the other rogues have the same mark-
“WHERE IS SHE?!”
A terrified gasp tore from the back of my throat as the unmistakable sound of Kane’s voice thundered through the halls.
Uh, oh.
My eyes grew wider with every heavy-footed step that came closer to the room I was in. I frantically glanced around to see if there was any possible hiding spot. There wasn’t.
Kane was verbally tearing at the soldier whose job it was to guard the door. My blood ran cold as I faintly made out the one-sided conversation happening just feet away from me.
“What do you mean you fell asleep?! Where the hell are the others?!”
The poor man didn’t stand a chance against Kane’s fuming ire.
“Do you have any idea how detrimental it would have been if any of them had woken up?!”
He made a rather good point there. My heart sank in my chest until a stifling wave of fear hit me. Kane threw open the door and stared directly at me.
“You…” His voice was hardly recognizable. Deep, rough, and venomous,
“I…I can explain-”
“I don’t want to hear it,” he snarled.
In a few long strides, Kane closed the distance between us and snatched me up by my waist. A broken cry ripped from the back of my throat as he tossed me over his shoulder. He barreled back through the doors and down the hallways without stopping.
I struggled to gain any sort of hold on him. “Holy shit, K-Kane St-Stop.”
He ignored me while tightening his hold on my hip. I scarcely made out the mutterings he was making under his tempered breath.
“…Can’t believe you….Utterly ridiculous woman…Tie you to the goddamn bed next time…”
Goddess, if he were any louder, he was going to end up waking up the whole house!
I hammered my fist against his back, trying to get him to either slow down or stop. “Put me down,” I hissed.
SLAP!

My eyes widened while a choked gasp ripped from my chest when the sharp pain of Kane’s palm struck my ass.
“Did you just spank me?” I asked angrily.
“It’s nothing short of what you deserve for the stunt you pulled,” he growled back.
“Kane, you’d better put me down, or else I’m going to rip my claws down your back!”
The bastard actually had the audacity to chuckle. “Be my guest. With your kitten claws, I’ll be shocked if you manage to rip through the material of my shirt first.”
My face twisted into a pissed-off sneer. Without hesitation, I drew my nails and roughly dragged them along his shoulder blades. Kane hissed through his teeth.
We reached our bedroom in record time. He all but slammed the door shut and threw me onto the bed. He tore off his shirt and stalked over to me, placing his hands on either side of my head. I was caged in.
“How? How could you possibly be so fucking stupid?” he bit out. “Do you have any idea how reckless you were acting?”
“I made sure to be careful-”
“Bullshit! You just don’t know when to follow orders,” he said darkly.
“I’m not one of your goddamn soldiers,” I seethed.
“No, you’re my fucking wife!” he snarled back.
I watched as his eyes dropped to my lips. For a brief flicker of a moment, I could have sworn that Kane was going to kiss me.
