Chasing Dare by Mikayla Lane

powerful.
    “It does make sense if your beast is coming out to play when the drug is active. Can your beast control your movements?” Dare tried to hide her yawn, but Baldy caught her and grinned.
    “Close your eyes and rest. And yes it can, prior to reaching manhood, and before we receive the Ator-Ma. I’ve never heard of it happening after that. Except in cases where there was severe instability.” Balduen smiled to himself as Dare scooted within an inch of touching him, before promptly falling asleep. He remained still, not wanting to disturb her sleep.
    He wondered if she was onto something though. About his beast coming out to play while he was under the drug. It did make some sense. They had always been told that the mind of the child had been fractured and couldn’t handle the beast and their own mind sharing the space in their head. If that was the case, it wasn’t the beast who caused the mayhem; it just gave the child the strength to cause the damage. But how could he use it to help them?

    Lucretia Moore sat in front of the computer and watched with fury as that ugly little slut lured the sexy alien into her bed. If those idiot aliens didn’t believe the bitch was special, Brak would have killed her by now!
    This was the third one of these bitches that she had been forced to deal with since she’d started working with Dr. Camarasa, but this one was the worst. This one really believed that she was hot shit. At least, the other two had been smart enough to realize that they were beneath her!
    They had tried their best to con her into thinking they were worth her friendship, but she had shown them that they were nothing, just like she would show this one!
    She smiled as she remembered the look on the redhead’s face when she’d plunged the knife into her stomach. The shock and surprise had been entertaining, but it was watching her writhe in pain as she begged for help that really had been exciting.
    It was supposed to take longer for the weak bitch to die, at least a good twenty minutes or more. But, she was so pathetic she had died much sooner than Lucretia wanted.
    She’d studied for weeks the best place to stab the bitch to ensure maximum agony and prolong her death. But, the bitch couldn’t even get that right, after all the effort she’d made to pretend to befriend her! If she hadn’t been so stupid, she would have realized that the escape she was helping her pull off was a ruse. Instead, she had been able to
accidentally,
stab her when she tried to escape.
    She smiled to herself as she remembered convincing the doctor that the reason she hadn’t called for help until after the girl was dead was because she’d been in shock over all the blood. He thought he was so smart, smarter than she was. But, she’d been playing him for years.
    This one would probably last a little longer than the redhead. She was going to have to think of something a lot more fun for this bitch than just a blade in the stomach.
    This was going to be a lot harder to plan and hide from the doctor than the last two because the Valendran. But, she had seen the way the alien gazed longingly at her when he’d first seen her in the basement.
    He, like most men, was obviously enthralled with her beauty. It wouldn’t take much to ensure his betrayal of the bitch in order to have the chance at a taste of her charms. The poor beautiful alien was probably desperate to get away from that nasty slut and have a real woman like her!
    Unfortunately, she would have to wait until the doctor began his treatments with the bitch before she could get the alien alone. But, it would give her time to make plans; plans not only to keep the alien to herself if he was worthy of her, but to get rid of that useless bitch too.
    Lying about her to the doctor wouldn’t get her killed, like it did the first one. This was going to take a lot more thought to accomplish, and for that alone she was going to make the bitch hurt! She hated wasting her
