“Is she okay?”
I ask Klaus about Mallory as Neah leaves.
‘It was close according to Raven. He sliced her st@mach up pretty well but somehow, she didn’t lose much, flesh. Raven was able to put it alls back together. It might just takea while for her to wake up.”
He pauses, “I ant sorry, Dane. would cto thi If I had known it is, I would have told you.”
Conten belongs to “I know. It’s in the past. What we have now is a Rogue on the loose. And I have no idea who its next target is. Did Roan say anything about the Rogues’ plans?”
He shakes his head at me. “I would say Lycans, but it went after Raven first.”
He shrugs his shoulders. “Maybe it is whoever is fair gbecause it doesn’t seem like it’s here just to piss off Damien not anymore.”
“No, but what else do the first two victims have in commen?” “Neah, but that doesn’t explain Mallory.”
He gestures to the unconscious woman on the kitchen table.
“Death.”
Mallory mutters huskily, her eyes still closed. “He wants to bring death to everyone.”
Damien Her fingers remain tightly coiled around mine as I lay her on her bed. Raven doesn’t speak a single word as tears continue to roll down her face in uncontrollable sobs. The pain she is feeling is unforgiving and until now, I never knew that losing a twin was almost the equivalent of losing a mate.
It didn’t matter that he was still alive. He had rejected the pack and that included his own siblings. And it had broken her.
Did he feel the pain, or was he caught up in the loss of his unclaimed mate? Either way I don’t think I will ever be able to forgive him for what he has done to my mate.
Raven cries herself to sleep. Blood from helping Mallory, still stained on her skin. She lets out little whimpers in her sleep, eventually falling quiet as she slips into a deep slumber.
Cleaning up the blood, she doesn’t move and I hope that my touch is somehow bringing her scomfort in her sleep. She had been to hell and back in recent days, she didn’t need this toa.
Slipping out of her bedroom. I make my way towards the stairs, stopping outside the Alpha’s room when I pick up her scent. I could hear the gentle shuffling of her feet as she paced back and forth behind the door.
“I know you are standing out there.”
She calls out. “You can cin.”
She continues to pace after I have entered. Her hands are on her hips as she moves, a deep frown etched into her face “Alpha Neah, you should be resting. Especially given what has happened tonight.” I murmur, my eyes moving down to her rounding belly. It was. crucial that her twins survived. They were the future of Lycan kind.
“Damien, please don’t keep referring toas Alpha and I’m fine. Is Raven okay?”
“Sleeping.”
“You marked her, so how is she really feeling?”
She presses “Like her heart has been ripped from her chest. She’s in pain.”
She nods as she continues to pace. “I will kill him Damien.”
“Jenson? “You know that I’m not talking about Jenson.”
She stops and stares at me. “Are you going to try and stop me?”
lo.”
I might have done it if it were another time. When the idea of an Alpha or being in a pack was of no interest to me.
“Good.”
She starts moving again and pulls a jacket from the closet “Let’s go.”
“Right now? Even I know that’s a bad idea.”
“You said you wouldn’t stop me.”
‘I’m not trying to stop you. I just think we could choose a better time. When emotions are not so amped up. I’ve seen people make massive fucking mistakes because their emotions got the better of them.”
She rolls her eyes and drops onto the bed.
“He is causing havoc. You nearly lost your friend and your mate because of him. How are you so calm?”
“Practice. You wouldn’t believe it if you knew what I used to be like, before I beca Lycan.”
I add. She smirks, and mutters lightheartedly “What were you, skind of mass murderer?”
“To those that deserved it.”
I watch the colour drain from her face, yet her blue eyes round in curiosity. “That’s why she turned you.
I ned. “She thought I would be a good asset to her little club.”
“Humans, I assume, if it was before you were turned? “Yes.
“How many?”
“I stopped, counting.”
Ishrug my shoulders. The number of bastards I number of b had killed didn’t mean a thing.< compared to those who I saved. “Fifty?”
“No.”
“A hundred?”
“That’s when I stopped counting.”
“What do you mean by those that deserved it?’
‘Those thathurt children and young.
women. If had known what om Cassandra and Tr Frey were doing to yous would have ripped them apart.”
. “That’s why you are loyal tanow, because you feel you owesomething?”
“Yes.”
“Have you tald Raven about your past?”
“No. No one likes to hear that news.”
“You shoulttell her. You have claimed Ker, how do you think she”
will feetif you keep a secret likethat from. Her? e Because trust me, I know whatit’s like to have secretskept from you your whole life.”
She sucks her bottom lip between her teeth as her eyes narrow. “You could have easily killed him. But you didn’t. you even purposely missed his heart after he had hurt Raven.
“And that was an emotional mistake.”
“Because a part of you hoped that your ald brother was still in there?”
I don’t answer because I don’t need to. There was nothing more forto say on the matter. I decide to change the topic. “Why don’t you wantto call you Alpha?”
“It’s not just you, I don’t like anyone callingit.”
“But you use the term when needed, like when you were squaring up to Salem. And I heard that you used it to get the other Lycans to stop attacking Black Shadow.
A small crease appears on her brow. “I was made to call people by their status my whole life. If I didn’t, I got punished. Even with Dane I still said it for a long time. It’s not something that I want to force people to call me. It makessound….”
“More powerful than the rest of us? Because we all know you are.
