“Thank you, Klaus.
When Damienarrives, he stands in the door frarne. His hands hooked above the door, leaning in as he tries to figure out if I wanted him here.-He studi ewith his dark eyes. Ffeel my heart skip a beat as his sweet vanilla scent fills the room. laus winks at him and leaves. “How do you feel?”
Damien asks “Like crap.”
He nods his head and steps into the room. “So you were mated to my little brother.
‘Is that all you have to say? My entire body hurts Damien. I’ve just learned thattmy ex mate is the one who did this tome. That he is also Somehow N your brother when I could have s sworn he was a wolf. I didn’t know, I didn’t know that he was a Lycan, Clearly I never saw-him in Wolf form. In fact we barely spoke of his pack or his family.”
“Dane said you probably didn’t know.”
He murmurs. “Though he did fillin on a lot and now it all makes sense.”
“He rejected me.”
I splutter. “lam aware. A good job too.”
He takes the seat next to the bed, watching me. “It would have made it harder forto find you. “Is he dead?”
I sigh, why did this man makefeel so irrational so easily? “No. He is in the dungeons though. Alpha Neah is trying to get more information out of him or break him. I’m not really sure. I just know she has bannedfram going down there.
“She shouldn’t be alone with him and she doesn’t like to be called Alpha.”
I mutter He cocks a brow at me. “She is more than capable of handling herself. She took a chunk out of his leg in payment for what he did to you.”
That madefeel a little better.
“You can’t kill him, can you? You want to, you really want to. I can see it in your eyes, but you can’t bring yourself to do it because he is your brother.”
Damien doesn’t answer me, he just snorts and shakes his head.
“You talked.”
I mutter, remembering hearing him speak as a Lycan “Yes.”
“How? You are not like him.”
“I was once.”
My hands clench the blankets and his eyes move down to them. “I won’t hurt you.”
“I’m not scared. I’m frustrated.”
I sigh “I don’t….. Dane said you told him that there was no coming back from being like that.”
“I found a way.”
He doesn’t explain any further “You don’t want to tell me, do you?”
I screw up my face as another wave of pain shoots through my thigh. This was going to be a long healing process.
“You tried to warn me.”
I sigh. He had toldI should be scared of him. That I should fear him. “I did.”
I slowly nod my head. “I give you permission to reject me.”
He scowls at”You clearly couldn’t make up your mind before, but now, I’m damaged. I’m giving you a free pass. I won’t fight it. I won’t refuse your rejection like Jess refused Jensons.”
“Aren’t we all damaged in sway?”
He statds up and moves closer to me, cupping my face. ‘ Tes been waiting days to taste you~ again.~I “He leans down and presses als lips to mine. Softer and gentler that last time, like he was savouring the moment. y arms loop around my neck, pulling hier in closer and I feel him smile against my lips. Little sparks ofe ectricity burn through mecas his kiss-deepens. But he is carefil not to press himself againstthis time. Céntent belongs to He pulls away when there is a knock on the door. “There will be more than enough time.”
He mutters, taking in my frustrations. “But I am not rejecting you, mate.”
My heart skips a beat again Neah opens the door. She shoots Damien a look of disgust and then smiles at me. I notice how she is rubbing her small bump. Something she didn’t have the last tI saw her. How long had I been out for?
“She thinks I put you in danger.”
Damien makes sure Neah hears him before stepping outside of the room N I see that he doesn’t leave though, standing guard as Neah closes the door.
“He didn’t know.”
I mutter. I wasn’t even sure what I was trying to m I defend. “He didn’t know it would cfor me. I didn’t know that Salem was a… a Lycan!”
“He should have told us. He should have explained to you what he is.”
“Was.”
I mutter. “But that’s not what’s annoying you, is it?”
Neah sits in the chair. “Eric wasn’t e going to telkine. “She looks at my confusedface. “When the Rogue! too yous Eric was guarding me. Dane wantedto stay put. [fl hadnt gone, you could be dead right now.
4 N “But I’m alive.”
Neah “What do you want?”
I demand as I stare at the Rogue, chained to the wall of the dungeon. It growls back at me. I had been asking it the squestion for days and yet it still refused to speak.
This is a bad idea. We should have waited for Dane.’ Nyx murmurs. She didn’t like us being down here alone. Or rather she didn’t like pregnantbeing down here alone.
They can’t do anything.’ I murmur back at her. Both Roan and the Rogue were locked up; it wasn’t like they could do anything. “He won’t answer you.”
Roan calls out from his cell. “And shouldn’t you be protecting those precious twins instead of coming down here to annoy us?”
I watch the Rogues’ eyes drop to my stomach at the word ‘twins’. His snout curls up even tighter until the whole thing is wrinkled and I can see his back teeth. Everythe heard the word, all he seemed to do was focus on my stomach. It was like roan was trying to antagonise him.
“Growl atall you want, it’s not like you can do anything, is it?”
I snap at the Rogue. “You are chained up and you have one and a half legs. I will kill you before you even lay a hand on me! He tugs on the chains.
I had made sure to repay the Rogue for what he had done to Raven, or rather Nyx did I hear Roan chuckle behindbut for now, I ignore him. He will be dead tomorrow, finally. The Rogues growl deepens and Roan chuckles more.
I spin around to look at the asshole in the cell behind me. He liked to do this. He liked to stick his nose in where it wasn’t wanted. “And you can shut up.”
“Are you not worried about being down here alone?”
Roan asks from his cell. “You go on trial tomorrow.”
I spit.
“Oh sweet Neah.”
His dark grey eyes lock on me.
“Don’t sweet Neah me.”
I snap before hehas achancetosay ~~ anything else. “You don’t get ta talk like that to me. Not after whatyou did to Jess. Not after what you planed to do to my unborm “pups.”
His grin grows, showing his missing teeth. “You think these chains will stop me?”
He pulls on them as he gets close to the bars. “Do you think lam the only one in the world who will want those pups?”
The Rogue starts to chuckle too and the confidence I had a second ago was quickly fading. I was missing something. They were both chained up, there was no way possible for them to get out My hands instinctively go to my small bump.
“What do youwant?”
I growl again, aiming the question at both of them. Dane shouldn’t have put them dowrr here so-c cose together. They could talk. 1 [hey could plan. They could plot~two very different enernies cottd work together.
