Primals (Reverse Harem 1)

Sebastian growls. I hear another body crashing against the wall, bones cracking.

I’m coming.

I glance at him just in time to see another big cat jump on his back, preventing him from reaching me.

“Sebastian!”

Another dart is fired and again, I dodge.

“Stay still, will you, bitch?” The man in black sneers, reloading.

Fight back, Clarissa!

Suddenly, I see the tattoo on the man’s arm, the same pattern that I saw on the folder.

He’s one of them. He helped kill my parents.

My anger simmering, I move without thinking and grab the gun, breaking it into two, bullets clattering on the floor.

He glares at me. “Why, you...!”

I kick him in the groin and as he falls, whimpering, I punch him across the jaw.

His head hits the floor, his eyes closed.

One down.

Just then, I hear a Cat coming for me.

Clarissa!

I turn to face it just as it pounces on me, pinning me to the ground. I grab its neck then kick it against the ceiling as hard as I can.

When it falls, it comes down unconscious.

Two down.

And they’re not all that’s down. I can already see a pile of other primals on the floor, all thanks to Sebastian and Toshi’s fighting skills.

Sebastian shifts to his human form, walking over to me. “Are you alright?”

I nod, tearing my eyes away from his lower half.

He goes to the backpack he’s tossed off, getting a pair of boxers. As he does, one of the Cats gets up and runs towards the stairs.

Toshi goes after him.

With at least some clothing on, Sebastian heads to the man I fought, the one who was holding a dart gun. Kneeling beside him, he presses his fingers to his jugular.

“Is he dead?” I ask.

Sebastian shakes his head.

Craning his neck, he spits on the man and he wakes up. He doesn’t get up, though, Sebastian has him pinned down. I’m amazed that it takes so little water to bring a primal Cat around. I file that information away for future reference.

“Who are you working for?” Sebastian asks. “How did you know we’re here?”

The man laughs.
