Damien smiles at me. “If I were, I would have taken out those two guards that:were keepingat the ron waiting for you. In fact I o probably. could have taken most.of your people out in the tyouwere ucking your mate. Becausethat can bethe only possible reason you have for keepingwaiting for so ong. Right?”
“Damien!”
Mallory snaps at him. “You can’t speak to him like that. He is the pack leader.”
Damien glances at Mallory and reluctantly. he apologises for the way he spoke to me. “Packs are not how I learned to be a Lycan. We didn’t have a hierarchy.”
“You didn’t, but it sounds like you were the one in charge.”
I mutter. He had taken control over everything in the short twe were with them. “I guess so.
“Why do you want to meet Neah?” I push as Mallory retreats into the house “You said it yourself, Dane. She is a female Lycan Alpha. The last one. She needs as much protection as she can get.”
“She has the pack.
“Yes, but they are not Lycans.”
Damien frowns What he is trying to say, hits me. “The Rogues are alive, aren’t they?”
“One got away. “We can take it out.”
I mutter, I wasn’t afraid of any beast. “You have fought against Lycans, correct?”
Damien asks “Yes.”
“But you haven’t battled Rogues. They are darker and far more dangerous wan those who shift between hurnan and beast. They=~ v.e don’t fight to win a battle, they fight for fur They won’t just rip throats out sf kill, they will tear apartan entire body, dragging the bones and organs from the flesh while the prey is still alive. Feasting on them as they beg for death.”
“How did you kill them?”
“Luck, but, fve been studying them for yearsstve provided them witht food. They don’t care for Wolvesorom other-ycans. They don’t care for a chaitr of command. The thing they cate e about most is a full stomach.”
Céntent belongs to [e) “You killed them in their sleep?’ I did what needed to be done.”

Neah Raven practically breaks down the bedroom door as she comes flying in. I had never seen her look so flustered. Her eyes are wide and she is breathing as though she just ran a marathon.
She’s flapping her hands, trying to calm herself down.
“I assyou are not okay?”
I mutter “He’s here.”
She had to be talking about Damien. “You saw him?”
“Yes, wait, you know?”
She stops to stare at me.
“One of the guards interrupted us to tell Dane. What’s he like?”
“I didn’t talk to him.”
“Okay.”
“He looked directly at me.”
“Do you think he knows?”
“Of course he knows Neah! I panicked. I literally dropped everything and I chere.”
She shakes her head. “With Salem, we both gravitated towards each other. When I first scented him, I followed my nose and Salem was doing the exact same. With this guy, he just stood there, staring atwhile talking to Dane. Acting like he couldn’t even smell me! Or maybe he was disgusted by me. Whatever the reason, he didn’t look happy!”
“Maybe he was surprised. You have known this guy is your mate without having seen him. The first the realized he was mated was when he arrived here.”
“You are not helping.”
I couldn’t control the laugh.
Raven points a finger at me. “Don’t! This is not funny Neah. Do you think it’s because I am a Wolf?”
“I don’t know.”
“It is, isn’t it? He’s probably grossed out.”
“Where is he now?”
“I don’t know. I told you, I cstraight here. I figured you would be the only one to understand this.”
“What does he look like?” I ask calmly, hoping it would rub off on her.
She stops pacing and turns to look at me. “Like a God.”
She falls down on the bed next to me, giggling and letting all that panic disappear. “Do you think he will like me?”
“I’m sure he will.”
I couldn’t understand how anyone would not like Raven.
She rolls on her side, with a frown etched into her face and sighs. “He is Mallory’s best friend.”
“You spoke to her, didn’t you?”
I mutter, looking away from her.
“I was curious about Damien, but yes.”
“Do you believe that she is sorry?”
I whisper while staring up at the ceiling.
“I really want to say no, Neah, but when she spoke of what she did, there was so much sorrow in her voice.”
“You think I should speak to her?”
“Maybe hear her out and then make your decision.”
She shrugs her shoulders. “If you still think she is lying, then do what you need to do.”
Raven sits withfor a few hours. She flicks the television on but her topic of conversation keeps circling back to Damien.
“Raven, just go and speak to him.”
“I can’t. I’ve been with you for hours now and he hasn’t even cto find me.”
“You are in my bedroom. In the packhouse. Do you really think he is going to cin here to find you?”
“You are right!”
She jumps up off the bed and hurries to the mirror, checking herself out “gan do this. I ve can seek him out. Women are just as powerful as men.”
She turns to me, her eyes wide. “What if he rejects me?”
“Do what Jess did!”
“Refuse?”
“Why not? It seems to have worked for Jess.”
