her.”
“Sometimes,” Monroe ground out through clenched teeth, “loyalty is rewarded with more than just vengeance.”
King shook his head and focused his eyes back on the wall, “No. The least loyalty should be rewarded with is vengeance. You’d better reassess your priorities, Crow. There are some Walkers who haven’t been here as long as Lilly. Do you think they’ll give their loyalty to you now when it isn’t repaid?” King smiled to himself as he caught the flicker of understanding that flashed across Monroe’s face before he could hide it.
“If Walkers in my domain disagree with my rule, then they can leave.” He didn’t wait for King to respond; instead, he stalked halfway down the long corridor and stopped. “By the way, you should know that Richard Jamison had a significant amount of money deposited into his account just before his attack. I’ve just been informed that the funds came from Megalya Lab Corp.” He turned and stalked down the hall tossing over his shoulder just as he exited the infirmary with Legion on his heels. "This attack wasn’t about Lilly.”
King didn’t get the chance to relax before Bishop exited an exam room, his expression dark.
“Thanks for the extra patrol shifts!”
King dropped his e yes to stare as Bishop passed. He let the Walker Sentry get nearly to the end of the hall before he called, “What would you have done if it had been Jenny?”
Bishop came to a hard stop.
Whether Bishop knew it or not, the other Walker’s could scent his desire, his fierce need whenever he was in Jenny’s presence. The Surgeon was his.
Turning, Bishop scowled, “I’d have gotten answers before I sought vengeance.”
King pulled back his lips as his face contorted into a n animalistic sneer, “You fucking reek of the lie. We all see what’s happening between you and Jenny. You’re rutting so hard for that little piece of ass that you can barely see straight.” King’s scowl lessened; he knew how to goad the Sentry. “I can see why.”
“Don’t!” Bishop growled, his eyes dimming in warning as he turned to fully face the recently replaced Chief of Security.
“See ?” King straightened his shoulders and turned his face forward. “We can’t even joke about your precious Jenny, but I’m supposed to let some man attempt to kill my Lilly.” The words were out before King could check them, and he heard Bishop’s sharp inhalation. Bishop had heard the words, smelt the possession, picked up on King’s emphasis.
“ Your Lilly?” Bishop grinned in triumph, “Appears I’m not the only one rutting so hard I can’t fucking see straight.” Then without another word he turned and strode determinedly down the hall.
King fell back against the wall and slid down it to rest his head in his hands. Fuck! She belonged to him!

Lilly felt better the n she had in days. She was healing nicely. Days earlier Jenny had promised that after she’d run some preliminary tests, she would disclose to Lilly this mysterious means by which she might just be able to still conceive children.
“How are you today?” Jenny asked without looking up from her e-tablet as she strode into the room.
“Great.”
Jenny shook her head. She could smell that the comment was an exaggeration, but not an outright lie. Setting down the tablet she secured a cuff on Lilly’s arm to take her blood pressure.
“So, today’s the day.” Lilly slapped her free hand on her thigh and shrugged her shoulders in a gesture of nonchalance that didn’t quite hit its mark.
“Yes, if all goes well you’ll be out today.”
“And?” Lilly prompted.
Jenny was silent for a moment as she finished the blood pressure reading. Then she was pulling the stethoscope from her ears and wrapping it around the back of her neck before she smiled down at Lilly. “ Aaaand , I did the tests and I’m delighted to tell you that the results look
