Neither of them respond.
‘Kill her, we will be fine.’ Nyx muses. Was it her? Was she the reason I was becoming a monster? I close my eyes. “I want your help. I want to see my pups grow up. I want to be with Dane. I want to live.”
“Good, that’s a start.”
It was like Raven said, I didn’t have to trust her, I just had to let her help me, for now.
Mallory gestures forto sit down but I stay on my feet and she cocks an eyebrow at me. “Now normally I would insist on intense exercise…”
“Intense exercise?”
Raven cuts her off.
“Why do you think Damien is built the way he is?”
She laughs, “but Neah, as you are pregnant and supposed to be resting, this is going to be a little more difficult.”
“And the fact Salem is out there somewhere.”
Raven adds.
“That too. Hmmm”
Mallory turns to Raven, “Is she clear to have sex?”
“I am here!”
I snap, frustrated.
“It doesn’t stop them.”
Raven shrugs her shoulders. “Wait, did you tell Damien the sthing? Who was he sleeping with?”
Mallory doesn’t answer her and speaks to me. “Part of the key is keeping your mind busy and keeping your body active.”
Nyx rolls her eyes but at least she keeps her mouth shut.
“That’s your advice?”
I splutter, “Sex and keeping busy?”
“That’s just the beginning. It’s a long process, Neah. It’s not a quick fix overnight and you need to be prepared for that.”
“How long did it take Damien?”
Raven asks.
“Has he told you?”
“No.”
“There’s your answer.”
“I don’t….I don’t follow.”
I mutter.
“It will always be a battle. Swill win, swill lose. Mallory’s brown v.e eyes lock on mine. “You have helped others, other than Damien?”
Raven asks.
She nods.
“Other’s, so there are more?”
I ask.
“Damien is the only one who has one hundred percent fought the Rogue life and continues to fight it.”
“You tried to help sof the others but it failed.”
Raven clarifies.
My chances offighting this were not in my favor.
Raven Who do you think it is?”
Midnight mutters as we follow Neah out of Mallory’s room. She was all hyped up after learning that one of the strategies to help Neah would be sex. She was desperate to know who Damien had been sleeping with while he was going through it and her jealousy was starting to rub off on me.
We should go back and demand the information!”
She sulks Neah is more important.” I mutter, though I wanted to know the answer toc. They were in the middle of nowhere. There was a female Rogue and Mallory. It couldn’t have been the Rogue. Did that mean he sleeping with his best friend? No. No. That was all before me. I can’t be jealous of his past.
Raven.’ Danes voice interrupts my thoughts. ‘Keep Neah upstairs.’ What’s going on?”
I link him back.
I will explain later. For now, Neah doesn’t need to see this.’ Neah was already at the top of the stairs when I stopped her. “Hey, can you cand helpwith something?”
“Raven, I’m starving.”
She mutters with a groan. “And if I’m to get through this, I at least need to keep these two happy.”
She rubs her stomach. “Then you are in luck. I have scandy bars in my room and it won’t take long.”
Her shoulders drop as she sighs. Thankfully she turns back and followsto my room. “What do you need help with? “….”
shit I hadn’t actually thought of anything Ask her to look at your wound to make sure it’s not infected. You can’t see the back of your leg.”
Midnight mutters in a hurry. I repeat Midnight’s words to Neah, she nods her head and followsto my room My eves flicker to the window, half expecting to see another handprint, this time, there is nothing there. Being watched was something I had never really had to worry about until now. And it felt like no matter where I was, eyes were on me.
It takes Neah less than a minute to inspect my leg. “I don’t really know what I’m looking for, but it doesn’t look any worse.”
She drops down onto the edge of my bed. “You are hiding something from me. You could have had Damien lock at your leg and I know you could have seen your reflection in that massive mirror.
My cheeks fland I quickly turn away. That mirror had seen a lot the last couple of days. “It’s because of this darkness in me, isn’t it?”
She pauses. “Raven, just tell me, you know I hate secrets.”
‘I don’t know what it is. I just know Dane askedto keep you upstairs.
i She immediately gets to her feet. Puffing out her cheeks.
Focus on what Mallory said. You need to keepbusy.”
I pull out a handful of candy bars fromthe drawers@nd hand them to her. ‘Let them deal with it. Everyone hag your bestiiterests at heart. None of them are doing this to intentionally keep sétrets from you.”
Something hits the window, making both of us scream. Blood is smeared as though something had just slid down the glass. “What was that?!”
We both speak in unison and move to the window I pause when I see him. He was just as I remembered him and our eyes met moments before men started charging him. He disappears into the forest.
“Was…was that him?”
Neah whispers toas Damien crashes into the room “In human form.”
I feel a knot in my stomach.
Damiens arms wrap around me. He pulls my back in firmly against his chest. A reminder that he was here. “They will get him. But I want to know why you are in just a tee and panties.”
