Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 659

“The drug they injected into her? It’s a banned substance. Used to be all the rage in underground fight clubs in Europe and the US, but the side effects were brutal. It got scrapped ages ago—no one’s seen it in years.”

Charles raised an eyebrow. His features were sharp—strong nose, deep-set eyes, and a gaze so intense it almost felt like he was daring you to look away. But despite all that, his eyes were unexpectedly clear, almost gentle.

So Clara just happened to stumble into this mess? He found it kind of funny. He’d only just arrived in the Capital, and already something this wild had landed right in his lap.

Boss, his German shepherd, wandered over and nudged his leg, tail wagging so hard it looked ready to take flight.

Charles glanced down with a smirk. “So, why’d Boss and Junior pull her out in the first place?”

“Did you forget, young master? Boss and Junior were raised in the research lab. They’re nothing like regular dogs—stronger, smarter, way more aggressive, and their noses are insanely sharp when it comes to drugs. They must’ve smelled the stuff on her.”

Boss’s tail thumped on the floor again, as if to say, See? Told you.

Charles walked over to Clara’s bed. The staff had already cleaned her up, so her face was clear now. She really was pretty. There was something about her, too—she looked familiar, like someone he’d seen before, but he just couldn’t place it.

Oh well. He let it go for now.

He turned back to the doctor. “So, what are the side effects?”

The doctor hesitated, clearly trying to pick his words.

Charles grabbed a chair and sat down. “Just tell me straight.”

“That drug was used in underground fight clubs. In the short term, it can make someone insanely powerful, but…” The doctor trailed off, looking uncomfortable. “Every few days, it triggers intense physical urges. You know… In those places, women were always just playthings. Lots of them got hurt or worse. If someone keeps taking the drug, their body starts craving it more and more, until eventually, it destroys them. They end up a shell of themselves, totally gone.”

So basically, every few days, whoever’s on it gets hit with a crazy need for the opposite sex.
