He was in Lycan form. He could talk in beast form? I think there is a lot we haven’t been told.’ Nyx mutters as I squat behind a bush Raven screams again and over in another tree is another Lycan, holding on to her with ease. She’s barely fighting and blood splatters onto the ground below her.
“SALEM! This isn’t a fucking game!”
Damien roars at him. Salem, did he seriously just call him Salem? ‘As in her first mate?’ Nyx asks curiously.
But he was a Wolf?’ Has she ever mentioned that?’ Nyx murmurs ‘Are you saying that she knew and didn’t tell anyone?”
No. Think about it. You said she told you he rejected her once he found out who her pack was. What if someone from Moonshine told him to stay clear?’ I look up as Raven screams again. The Rogue Lycan has its teeth buried around her waist. It was killing her right in front of Damien. I couldn’t take it anymore.
I step out from my hiding spot. “Let her go.”
The Rogue removes its teeth from Raven to look at me.
“Let her go!”
I repeat “Gladly.”
He drops her. There is a blur of movement as Damien dives down from the tree to try and catch her before she slams against the ground. The Rogue lands in front of me. Standing up to his full height and looming over my small frame.
“You are the female Alpha.”
It snorts. “What is so special about you?”
“Nothing It lets out a gargled laugh. locking its beady eyes on me. “You protect Wolves? How noble.”
“You’re Salem?”
I ask. For sunknown reason, I felt no fear, staring into the eyes of death.
“Lam.”
“You were mated to her? You were the one who was mated to Raven?”
“WHAT?!”

The Rogue growls.
“You rejected her.”
‘I did. Wolves and Lycans don’t mix.’ He snarls-at me, bloody drool I. dribbles from its jaws. “Thought Wolves do taste delicious.”
He runs his tongue along his teeth, ~~ “Was it your choice, or were you told to reject her?”
“Like I said, wolves and Lycans don’t mix.”
“You won’t touch them.”
I stare back at him He lets out that gargled laugh again “You think you can stop me?”
‘I’ve killed Lycans.”
I knew my eyes were darkening as I stare at him
He laughs again, but this time, it’s not as gargled and sounds morem sceptical. “Because you are salmighty Alpha? That doesn’t work with Rogues.”
Tell him. He hasn’t figured it out.’ Nyx mutters gleefully.
I stare up into his beady eyes, “I am your Alpha whether you like it or not, Salem.”
He growls atand takes a step back. “I don’t go by that nanymore and you will never be my Alpha.
“You are a product of a Moonshine Lycan, that Wakesyour Alpha.”
hated using the term, but right now»> it was needed and without Nyx, I< probably wouldn’t be standing f here. “Yoursan’t deny that. You feet. You knew I outrank you whether you wantto or not.”
“I am a Rogue.”
“Keep telling yourself that.”
“I will kill you.
I don’t respond as Damien creeps up behind him, forcing his claws through Salem’s back before dragging them down through his skin
Raven “Woah, easy.”
Klaus mutters as I try to sit up.
I felt like I had been in a washing machine with how dizzy I was Closing my eyes. I lie back, trying to stop my mind from swirling. Even Midnight was quiet which was very unlike her. I suddenly sit up right, looking around for the Rogue when I’m hit with excruciating pain in my leg.
“Salem?”
I mutter. I had heard his name. I was sure of it. But things were hazy.
“What do you remember?”
Klaus asks softly.
“I…Uh….”
I rub my head, is this what humans felt like when shit happened to them. Wait, why wasn’t I healing? “He was here,”
I mumble, “he put something over my mouth. And then I heard a scream. my scream? Was it me? I look around, recognising my own hospital when pain shoots through my leg again. Pulling back the blanket, I see a large amount of bandages wrapped around my leg.
“Take it off!”
I demand “Raven, you know that is not a good idea.”
“Please take it off!”
I repeat. It couldn’t be real. It just couldn’t. But deep down I already knew.
Klaus sighs and slowly unravels the bandages and the layer of dressing. There was a massive divot in my thigh where most of the muscle is missing. My skin is coated in dried blood. Ugly red wounds had been left in place where they had tried stretching and stitching my skin back together. By the looks of it, it had finally started to heal, though it would never be the same.
‘I’m sorry Raven. We can heal, but we can’t grow new muscle and that much flesh.
“He bit me? But he was my mate?”
I mutter, shocked at how Salem could do such a thing. He was always so kind, so nice and cared about every little thing I did. “What happened to him? Klaus slowly rebandages my leg as he tries to detide what to say. “He was, a long,-long tago. But he is not he rhan he once was Raven-Or the man he said he was. He was neveta Wolf. And to do this means he-doesn’t feel anything foryou.”
“What made him like that?”
“I don’t know.”
I wanted to cry, I didn’t want to fight it. I wanted to let the big fat tears roll down my face, but they don’t come, instead I am laced with anger. How could someone be that vile? “When you started stirring, I called Damien.” He smiles at me, “Maybe he will make you feel better.”
Damien. Maybe now he would finally say those words.
“Did you do this?”
I ask Klaus quietly, pointing at my newly bandaged leg.
“I did what I could. It’s going to be a long recovery.”
‘It’s okay Klaus, know what you are saying. It’s going to be a while before I can walk properly even after the wound has healed.
He nods with a sad smile.
