He states after a few minutes of silence.
I feel my cheeks flame, who had told him that? “Neah is a Lycan.”
My defence was weak. “She’s my closest friend.”
“You should hate us.”
He takes a step closer and leans over me. “We are not the sas you. We are dark. We are cold. We are monsters.
His face is-inches from mine. I should bescared by his warning.But this is the closest he had been toand I couldn’t tell singe his arrival a whether he wanted to fuckor kill me: But I did know what I wanted. Céntent belongs to ‘I’m not scared of you.”
I whisper, refusing to move fram my spot. “You should be.”
My head slightly shakes at him.

When Neah shouts, Damien pulls away. Forgettinglike nothing had just happened.
My heart is pounding in my chest as he enters her roam, leavingsemi aroused in the fucking hallway, with the taste of his lips on mine ‘What the fuck was that?’ Midnight gasps in annoyance.
I have to get out of here!’ Slowly. I back away, reaching the stairs. Tears creep in at the corner of my eyes.
“No, not happening.”
I mutter to myself as I run down the length of the stairs, wiping my eyes. I’m not a crier and I was not about to start now. Hurrying across the grounds, I enter the hospital. It was my safe place. The only place where I had control. Where everyone in the pack relied on me.
Sinking down behind the station. I sit quietly, letting Midnight calm me. Why had I let myself get sucked into it? Why had I let the bond cloud my judgement? ‘We can’t help it.”
Midnight whispers. ‘He brings out feelings that we haven’t felt in a long time.”
He’s not Salem.’ No he’s not. Salem did us dirty.’ I hear her annoyance, though she will never admit it Frustrated, my hand slaps against the tiled floor.
“Angry?”
A low voice comes from the other side of the station makingfreeze. I thought I was alone. I couldn’t smell anything. I couldn’t smell another Wolf. That could only mean one thing. Dane.’ I link my brother. ‘It’s here. It’s in my hospital.”
‘What are you talking about?’ The Rogue.’ I whimper ‘We are coming!’ “I would rather you cout.”
The low voice rumbles. “I just want to talk.”
The beast speaks ‘We should shift.’ Midnight mutters No, it will attack.’ Slowly, and keeping my back to it, I get to my feet. I had no weapons or anything nearby that could be used to do sharm Turning, miybreath hitches in my_ throat. I didn’t get a good look atitin the forest but what I see in front ofiss $0 much worse than the Lycans we fought. Damien was right, they are monsters. – ~ It holds its gaze with me. Its nostrils flaring as it tilts its large head to one side. Dried blood coated its sharp teeth and snout. Did it kill someone to get in here? “You smell of the traitor.”
It growls I stare back, refusing to blink in case it moves. A part ofhad thought Damien was lying when he said they could speak. “How…how did you get in here?”
I always locked up when I left “Is that what you will worry about when you are dying Raven?”
“You know my name?”
I squeak. My eyes flicker to the door, where was Dane? Or anyone?
“Who are you looking for?”
It sounds like it’s trying to laugh. “Your newn mate? Wviaybe your big brother?Or perhaps even the female Alpha? None of them can save you; “Raven.”
Keep him talking.’ Midnight mutters. ‘Buy yourself stime.’ “You’ve been watching me?”
I follow Midnight’s instructions, maybe then I would stand a chance. “You can call it that if that makes you feel comfortable.
It hadn’t moved an inch since I had been talking to it. Was it trying to freakout? “Your eyes keep darting to the door. I assyou have linked one of them.”
It rises up on its hind legs. “So now it is tfor us to leave.”
It jumps over the counter at me, its clawed hands Jocking aroundbefore I hav@-a chance to do
TM ~ anything-It holds something over.< my mouth. No matter how harcl> fight the more greathe in I whats ovemy mouth, the more I feel my badly getting weaker and weaker. My arms and legs grow heavy and are barely able to move.
It wasn’t like fighting one of the bitten where their goal was just to kill in the sloppiest way. This one seemed to know exactly what I was going to try. like they knew me. I couldn’t fight any longer and my head falls back against a solid chest “Tfor sleep.”

Damien Repositioning myself in front of the bedroom door after checking on Neah, I see that Raven is long gone.
I shouldn’t have kissed her. She may have tasted amazing. but I shouldn’t have let myself go like that. I couldn’t bring myself to reject her, not yet. Maybe I didn’t want to, not truly. Though she will cto hateeventually. Mallory creeps up the stairs towards me. Her lips pressed into a thin line that gradually crept up into a smile as she makes her way towards me. “Do. you think she will speak toif you are here?”
She asks hopefully, glancing at the door.
“Mallory, we have been over this.”
“Damien, I have to try.”
“Nothing has changed.”
I mutter. I wanted Neah to listen to Mallory, but it had to be on her terms. I had already learned that about her. “And she is definitely not in the mood right now. If you go in there, she will probably kill you on the spot.”
“Oh,”
She leans against the wall next to me. “How am I supposed to get her to listen to me? “You don’t. You keep your head down. You do everything that is asked of you. You be respectful to everyone here. And then, just maybe, she will see that you are trying and be willing to speak to you, but for now, she is pregnant and if she feels a threat, it will be gover for you.”
She sighs.
“I have told you it won’t be easy. I thought you had trust issues, but the Alphas ability to trust is on a whole different level.”
She frowns at me. “She trusts you.”
“No she doesn’t.
“Then why are you guarding her? “To show her that I mean what I say.
Mallory rolls her eyes at me. We both had a very different belief system. She expected everyone to accept her as she is. Whereas I had always had to work for it. Human or not.
“You know as well as I do that her abuse didn’t end after you almost killed her.”
I add “Right.”
Maltory bobs her head at me. “I stiltean’t believe you told the others the truth about him being”
your I brother.”
She changes the subject because it was still ard for heeto talk so openly about. Her past. Céntent belongs to ‘If I want to live here, then I need to be honest with them.”
“But you wouldn’t have told them if he had never shown up here, would you? And you haven’t tald them everything. You won’t be able to keep that a secret forever. They will figure it out! She knewtoo well. But I also knew she wouldn’t blab.
I hadn’t liked Mallory when I first met her. But wher there are just two of you that a egoing through the sshit, it was pretty hard to not formsa bond and now, I couldn’t imagine’a worldywithout her. She had helped methrough sof the worst shit isamy life and had done mere than her fair share with the other Rogues.
She givesa sad smile. “You have slotted right in here. Who would have thought you would like pack life?”
“You just need time. Isn’t that what you first toldwhen I found you? Mallory bobs her head. “True.”
“Go back to the house. There’s no point in you standing here with me.”
I will see you later?” She asks “Sure.” “At least you and Jess like me.”
she mutters as she turns away.
I watch Mallory hurry back down the stairs, until ofice again I am alone. My thoughts ‘drift to Raven and how she hada’tbacked away from mess Nota single ounce of fear in hers”
N m eyes Anger and annoyance, yes. But nofear, even when I pushed her up against the wall. Almost as if she were expecting it.
