.Cut yourself, it will help me find you faster.Did the prince just tell him to cut himself? Minsheng was in astate of panic, not caring what the prince suggested right now.He didthe only thing he could think of at the moment.Minsheng bit into hisown skin, his teeth puncturing the flesh.Fresh blood welled up as hestruggled to get free. Fuck, one of his abductors growled. Fresh blood. They are vampires.They can smell my blood.Minsheng heard the roar inside his head.Christian was goingcrazy, and Minsheng could hear it.Too bad he didn t have a mentalvolume button.He thought he d go deaf from the sound.Minsheng kicked out when one of his abductors jumped on himand began to lick at his wound.Any more bright ideas? He s trying toeat me now.He waited for Christian to reply, but his head remainedquiet.Minsheng was on his own now.The van door slammed shut asMinsheng rolled to his belly, keeping his bleeding arm between hisbody and the van floor.The vampire was pulling at Minsheng, liftinghim up to get at his wound.He twisted sideways every time thevampire lunged for his arm.Fuck, this was like four years ago when the perverts whokidnapped him tried to rape him in the van.Minsheng was once againfighting.They may have succeeded four years ago, but he was notabout to become a victim again.Everyone in the back of the van fell to the front as the van skiddedto a stop.The side doors flew open as Christian stood there seething.His fangs were at the longest Minsheng had ever witnessed as his hairveiled around the prince s face. Release him now! Minsheng scrambled to his knees as he jumped out of the van.Hestood there in a daze as one by one, the men were forced from the van 96 Lynn Hagenwith an unseen hand.The three kidnappers landed at Christian s feetwith a thud.With blinding rage, Minsheng lunged at the one who had attackedhim in the van, punching him until the man s face was covered inblood.He may have broken the guy s nose, but Minsheng was pastgiving a shit.Memories were assaulting his mind, and since he couldn t takerevenge on his old kidnappers, the new ones would do. Enough, Christian said gently as he reached down and pulledMinsheng away. Enough, little one. Minsheng was numb.Henodded absently as a black car pulled up behind the van.Christian guided him over to the car and helped Minsheng into theback seat.He watched Jersey and Buck, along with Christo and Isla,pick the bodies up and bring them around to the back of the car.Islagot into the driver s seat of the van and pulled away, the car followingclose behind.The prince pulled Minsheng onto his lap, and for once, Minshengdidn t protest being treated like less of a man.He needed the comfortright now, the sense of safety wrapped around him. How did this happen? Christian asked.* * * *Christian wasn t sure how he was talking so calmly wheneverything in him wanted blood.He recognized the men lying at hisfeet as belonging to Maurice s coven.So the games have begun,Christian thought as he stared down at his mate.He lifted Minsheng s arm, licking his wound closed.The jaggedteeth marks puckered to a pinkish color and then disappearedaltogether.Pleased, Christian sat back and waited for his mate toanswer him. They grabbed me while on my way to you, Minsheng saidquietly. Christian s Menace 97Christian closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, trying his bestto get his anger under control. Why were you out on the streets byyourself, little one? Because you voodooed my ass back to the manor, Minshengsaid angrily as he tried to climb from Christian s lap.He gripped hismate, letting him know he wasn t going anywhere.He didn t carehow angry Minsheng was.He had put himself in danger. You could have called me, he reminded his mate. Like I was going to do that after what you did.I m a grown man,and so are you.But from the way you acted, one would think youwere five years old. I was pissed. So was I. What did you have to be pissed about? Christian asked with abit of incredulousness. Why can t I hang out with my bodyguard? He is there to guardme.We weren t doing anything wrong.And by the way, what did youdo to Buck? Christian sighed.He knew Minsheng was a warrior and stubborn,but he didn t think he was careless.He wasn t sure why his matewasn t seeing the inherent danger in what he had done. I haven tdone anything to Buck, yet, and I didn t say you were doing anythingwrong.Do you realize how many enemies are on the hunt for younow? Word has gotten out that you and Yasuko are my mates.Thereare people who will stop at nothing to get their hands on you. Minsheng ignored him as his mate stared out of the window.Christian was at a loss of what to do.He was used to his covenobeying his every command, and now he had a very willful mate
