.Eli s laugh was bone chilling.Okay.Now he knew something wasoff.Eli didn t have a bone-chilling laugh.He was a short twink, forcrying out loud.There was nothing deep to his voice even when hesurvived puberty in high school.This wasn t Eli.What really baffled Jimmy was the fact of how strong and swiftpretend Eli was.He may look like his best friend, but this guy waspowerful.It made Jimmy shiver at what was about to happen to him. What are you going to do with me? Nija s Temptation 71Eli looked offended, even though he was standing there with a tuftof Jimmy s hair curled into his fingers. I m your best friend.Iwouldn t hurt you. He smiled, and Jimmy s blood turned cold.Thatsmile promised something Jimmy knew was going to be painful andtorturous.He wondered where Nija was.He needed the man.Eventhough they were starting out shaky, Jimmy wanted Nija so badly thathis heart ached.That empty feeling had come back and taken upresidency in his heart.Jimmy was on the verge of crying from thehole left in his chest from the need that was overtaking him.He wanted Nija. Where is Eli? Jimmy asked between clenched teeth as hethought of never seeing his vampire again or what the bastard haddone to the real Eli.If this fucker hurt his best friend, Jimmy wasgonna& he didn t know what he was going to do, but he was going todo something painful to this guy, thing, whatever.The man chuckled as he pulled Jimmy s head back by his hair,making Jimmy look him in the eye. Figured it out, huh? Yeah, the smell gave you away.Eli would never go a daywithout showering, you stinky bastard. The man roared with laughter, which didn t even make Jimmysmile, as he pulled Jimmy back toward the graveyard.Jimmy shoutedwhen Eli picked him up and tossed him over the black iron fence. Yeah, Jimmy grunted as he rolled over, pain splintering throughhis ankle at the rough way he had landed. Eli would never have beenable to do that. Shut up! the man shouted as he pulled Jimmy from the groundby his hair once more.This routine was getting old, fast.When Jimmycame to his feet, he howled and dropped back down, ignoring the painhis hair still being in the man s fingers caused.His ankle felt like ahot poker was stabbing at it. I think I sprained it. Jimmy reached down and rubbed his ankle,seeing that it was three times the size it normally should have been. It s bad. 72 Lynn HagenThe man grinned at someone behind Jimmy.He could feel apresence behind him, and that made him shiver with horror.He wastoo terrified to turn around and look.His night was getting worse bythe second and it didn t look like it was going to get any better anytime soon. Is this him? someone asked from behind Jimmy. It is, the fake Eli answered.Pure terror raced through Jimmy as an ice-cold hand clampeddown on his shoulder.He wasn t sure who it was, but the hand had avery strong grip to it.Jimmy swallowed when the hand released himand the man circled around him, standing front and center.Jimmy seyes slowly rose as he took in the man. Leroy? * * * *Nija ripped the front door open, the wood slamming into the wallas he stormed from the house.He was going to kill the bastard.Therewas no doubt about it.Eli was going to die painfully when he got ahold of him.No one took something from him.And his mate? Hellno.Nija was ready to bathe in Eli s blood.Nija leaned his head back, inhaling deeply as he searched for hismate s blood.He had drunk from Jimmy.There was no way hewouldn t be able to find him.The question was would he find him intime.Nija s teeth ached at the thought of something happening to hismate.He and Jimmy might have their problems right now, but therewas nothing he wouldn t do for him.There was nothing Nija wouldn tdo to protect him.Jimmy had wrapped Nija around his heart, and his chest actuallyached thinking about his mate being harmed.He pushed aside hisempty feeling and opened his mind.His blood began to call out toJimmy s. Nija s Temptation 73 What s going on? Buck asked as Jersey and Christo joined him.He hadn t even heard the car pull up.What the hell was wrong withhim tonight? Too many things were getting by him, and that didn t sitwell with Nija. That fucking ghoul stole my mate. Have you located him yet? Christo asked.
