Read Online Everlasting Hunger (The Hunger Mate Series) by Brandy Dorsch - Free Book Online

Claude, but he was caught in the riots of 1929 and destroyed.  She wandered the world for a bit and then contacted me about ten years ago looking for a position.  Since they were both part of the family, I made sure she had a job here at the hospital and was taken care of.”   
                  Both men fell silent as they remember the comrades that they have lost over the years.  Those that were lost before they learned about the blood component needed for compatible turns, those that were lost to war, and those that were lost to hunters.  When you have lived as long as they have there is always going to be a list of friends and family that are lost. 
    “Come on, Jasper, I believe Lorenzo should be here any moment, and we need to deal with the abusive Mr. Adam Thornton.” 
    Jasper rises and agrees, “Aye, my lord.  We can’t have that kind of trash around the hospital.” 
                  They walked down the hall together and entered the conference room. Lorenzo has arrived and is waiting patiently. 
    “Thank you for coming down, Lorenzo.” 
    “My pleasure, my lord.  You need but ask and I will assist you.  What kind of problem are we looking at with this gentleman?” 
    Jasper growls, “This is no gentleman.  He abuses women and had the audacity to lay hands on Ellie Dawson.” 
    Lorenzo sat up straighter. “He hurt our little lady?”  Turning toward Ian he growls, “Where do you want me to put the body, my lord?” 
                  Ian raises a hand. “That’s not necessary today, Lorenzo.  We are just informing Mr. Thornton that his services are no longer needed here at Lochlan Medical.” 
    “But, my lord,” Lorenzo starts to protest. “We are vampires.  Let’s just get rid of this piece of garbage before he hurts anyone else.  This could be a sign of fidelity to our new lady.” 
    “Lorenzo, I appreciate your protectiveness toward Ellie, it does not go unnoticed.  However, she does not know my history or what being mated and easing the Hunger entails.  We’ve not gotten that far.  I’m going to discuss all of this with her tonight.” 
    Lorenzo nods. “Okay, my lord.  I will make sure that this piece of garbage is escorted out of the building with no permanent damage.”
                  Knock, Knock.  
    “Come in, Mr. Thornton,” Ian calls out in a loud voice. 
    “Good afternoon, sir.  You wanted to see me,” Adam Thornton says as he strolls into the conference room.
                  “Yes, Thornton.  Have a seat.  You heard in the meeting earlier when I was discussing the restructuring of some of the executive positions here at Lochlan Medical, correct?” 
    “Yes, sir I was.  Before you continue sir, can I just say that it has been an honor to be with Lochlan Medical for the last several years?  I’m so glad you finally realized how much of an asset I am to this organization.  I’ve been interested in moving in a different direction within the corporation and have been trying to get a meeting with you for a few weeks to discuss it,” Adam states in a smug voice. 
    “Really,” Ian asks. “What kind of position do you see yourself in?” 
                  Ian notes that Jasper and Lorenzo watch carefully as he speaks to Adam Thornton as if he has a real shot at continuing at Lochlan Medical.  The man is so smug in his own importance that he does not even here the thread of anger in Ian’s voice. 
    “I’ve been in marketing for the last several years and I’m interested in moving into the Human Resources department.” 
    Jasper glances at Ian in disbelief.
    Does this idiot really think that he is going to take Ellie’s position in the company? “Mr. Thornton, you do realize that the director of human resources is Eleanor Dawson and that she has been with the hospital for over five years now, correct?” 
    “Yes, sir, and she is one of the reasons that I was trying to
