“Dottie.” Damien mutters. “Please eat your breakfast.” “I’m just playing Daddy.” “You can play as much as you want when you have eaten.” She continues to pull faces at the twins as she settles on a chair at the table.
“How are you?” Damien asks while putting pancakes on Dorothy’s plate.
I nod, because if I let out how I really feel, I was scared that there would be no coming back.
When breakfast is done, Raven takes the kids to go get cleaned up and dressed for the day.
I sit there, watching Damien move around the kitchen clearing up. “How did it feel?” He pauses and slowly turns back to me. “I’m assuming you are askingwhat it felt like to becRogue.” My shoulders drop as I nod my head. He puts down his plates and sits back at the table opposite me. A crease forms between his brows.
“At first it felt right.” I snort. That was the last thing I thought he would say.
“I’m going to tell you how it is, Neah. There is no point in lying. You talk about the darkness and that’s exactly what happens. It creeps in, sticking to your insides like a cancer without you knowing.
There will be little flashes of it and it’s always there, tightly coiling around your insides until there is no goodness left.” He leans forward to grab the juice and pours himself another glass. I’m sure right now, with this conversation, he would prefer something much stronger.
“Decisions will becdarker and you won’t realise until it’s too late. When it finally happens, you feel free. Everything becomes easier. Life makes more sense.” “But eventually, you end up trapped. A vicious cycle, destined to achieve one goal. That life that was once freeing becomes the very bane of your existence. You have to fight it, Neah. You have to be the Alpha you are supposed to be and you can’t do that if you beca Rogue.” “Do you think my past has led to this?”
“Likely, yes. There is something inside of you that looks for freedom and you feel as though you are yet to find it. You need to look around you Neah. Everyone here cares about you. No one here wants to harm you. You are not beaten, you are not starved. You have a mate that adores you. You have everything going for you. Do not let one scorned woman tear you down from who you are supposed to be.” “It doesn’t stop.” “It will never stop.” He frowns “The darkness will always be there. It will never fade. You need to learn to channel it. But don’t let it becyou.” “You still fight it, even now?”
“I will for the rest of my life.” He smiles, his eyes lighting up. “Raven om helps, but she doesn’t know how mych. She’s a beacon of light in the darkness and when I feel the darkness slipping. I seek her out. Mallory and I can help you as much as we can, but until you find your own light, it will be a battle.”
The question burns and I should force it down, but it tumbles from my mouth as though it needed to be heard. “What if I can’t? What if… What if this is too deeply embedded inside of me?” “Do you really believe that?”
Blair “Where have you been?” Jenson demands as I saunter in to my own apartment. “I thought you would be hhours ago.” “I didn’t realise you were my husband!” I snap in annoyance.
I was already in a bad mood because the prick I had been chasing the last couple of days had managed to get away, again.
He rolls his eyes atas I take off my jacket and hang it by the door. “And I’m trying to do you another favour by getting rid of him so he doesn’t ruin our fun. Isn’t that what you want?” The Rogue was hanging around and I didn’t want it anywhere near Black Shadow. It would just cause an unnecessary problem.
I wanted all attention on me.
Jenson purses his lips, a crease forming between his brows.
“I’m doing this for us. Killing Lycans, Wolves and others isn’t a new hobby of mine, Jenson. I’ve been doing it since I was a teenager and this Rogue is not the first I have cacross. Though he does seem to be smarter than the others.” I frown, pulling the knives and gun out of my waist band and dropping them on the coffee table.
His face relaxes a little and I press my lips to his. I had never let a man worm his way into my heart like he has. It was almost endearing.
His dark eyes move to my weapons. He was looking for blood, but they were still just as shiny as they were when I left hours ago. “He’s still alive?” “For now. The fucker knows exactly what he’s doing. I should just let him carry on. He’s certainly gunning for someone in Black Shadow. But he will just kill them, he won’t tear them apart and destroy them first.” “You should have told me. I would have helped.” My eyes flicker up to his. “There are sthings I need to do alone, Jenson.” He still didn’t like that part of me. Even though he had called’Lone wolf’ when we first met. He still didn’t quite understand my need to do things myself. Neah and Dane were different though, the plan needed both of us.
And every moment this Rogue takes of my tmeans I spend longer away from getting my claws into my darling half sister.
I press myself up against him, letting him feel every curve of my body. He rolls his hips intoas his hands make their way along the sides of my body. I already feel his hardening length pressing against me. I always thought I had a high sex drive but his was on another level.
He nuzzles into my neck and a soft moan releases from inside of me. He sucks and nips on my skin and then his teeth start to sink.
I pull away, glaring at him. “What the fuck do you think you are doing?” I storm to the mirror and see small e hples where his teeth were getting ready to claim me. Thankfully they were already healing and I had got out before he had a chance to finish. “You would be able to link me.” He justifies “That’s your reason! How fucking dare you! I told you I would let you know when and if I am ever ready for that stalk back towards him, my eyes in slits as I grab a knife off the coffee table. He backs into the window as I position the knife under his chin, pushing the tip into his flesh, watching as a tiny bit of blood appears.
He holds his hands up. Sometimes I think he forgets that I’m the one who let him into my life. That I’m the one who makes the decisions. That I’m the one who lets him stay.
“Don’t you ever do that again!” I snarl. “Because trust me, when I say this, I will cut out you tout your intestines and string up by them for the whole fucking world to see.”
I’m surprised when his hand wraps around mine. Pressing the knife a little deeper into his skin. “Then you should killnow. Because I want you to be mine in every single way!” My breath hitches in my throat and I have trouble concealing it. At spoint, he had crossed the lines from being usable, to fuckable to now, where he is actually desirable. He still has a long way to go, but willing to kill himself foradds another notch to his bow.
The dribble of blood turns into a trickle. Running down over the blade and into our hands. He doesn’t flinch and his gorgeous dark eyes stay on mine.
It’s only when my hand loosens on the knife that he lets go. The knife clatters to the floor and I was momentarily grateful for the dark carpet. I would have lost my shit if blood was on a cream carpet. It’s almost impossible to get out.
I watch his wound heal, leaving a smear of blood on his neck. Damn he looked hot.
But no, I won’t give in to him, not tonight, not after he pulled that shit.
