Blair I was expecting his dark eyes to be wide with my announcement. Instead he just stares atlike I have just asked him if he had a good day.
“Are you not going to say anything?” I demand.
“What do you wantto say?” “This isn’t one of those times where you wait for my instructions, or you need to follow my orders. I just gave you the answer to why I don’t shift. Why I mentioned losing control. Why I find it easy to kill Rogues, well, kill anyone. And now you are just staring at me!” He continues to watch me.
“There have been hints for months and you have been too dumb to see it!” I snap, sudden rage boiling through me. This is why I never let anyone get close. I never wanted them to figure it out, but Jenson has been here for months and he still hasn’t figured it out.
“Dumb?” He cocks an eyebrow at”It’s fine. Just pack your things and go.” I hide any emotion that I’m feeling. I knew it would cto this and I had been prepared for this moment since he snaked his way into my heart.
He gets to his feet and doesn’t move any further. He jams his hands into his pockets. I was expecting his heart to be thundering in his chest. A Rogue had killed his mate. That’s what had led him to me.
“I knew the moment you sniffed out Damien. I’ve just been waiting for you to tell me.” “What? That was months ago!” “Damien once said being Rogue heightens your senses, allowing you to sniff out other Lycans, differentiating them from the Wolves. You sniffed him out when he followed me. You knew he was there when I didn’t. I knew then that at spoint in your life you had been a Rogue.” It takes a lot to surprise me, but he has my jaw hanging open.
“If I hadn’t known about Lycans and unaware of the information I know about Rogues. I wouldn’t have put two and two together. But you are right about one thing. Little bits of information have slipped through. Which probably wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t fallen for you and stuck around. I’ve been waiting for you to tellBlair. For you to feel safe enough withthat you could finally announce it.” It’s my own heart that is rampaging as I clutch the rolled up yoga mat to my chest. He had known and he hadn’t said a word. Lettingkeep my secret, lettingdecide when to share.
“You…you still want to claim me?” I was pretty sure if the window was open and a breeze passed through it would knockoff my feet. No one, not a single person had wanted anything fromother than to kill something or someone. They hadn’t ben interested in my life in any shape or form.
“I’m still here aren’t I?” “Why?” I splutter, still in shock.
“You are the first person I’ve loved.” “But we are not mated.” “And? Why should that stop us? If I claim you, you are mine and I am yours. I don’t care if you were a Rogue in the past.” I turn away, because he just didn’t see the seriousness of what being a Rogue is or was.
“That’s why I don’t shift, Jenson. I told you I lose control. You think that bastard was bad. When was Rogue, was hundred times worse. It’s why I made it a mission to hunt them down and get rid of them. And not shifting allowsto keep control.” “Okay.”
“A Rogue killed your mate.” I don’t even know why I was trying to push him away. He was probably the best way. thing that has happened toin my whole life. Even if he did annoyhalf the time.” “You didn’t. And maybe that’s a sign. Because if he hadn’t, I wouldn’t have met you.”
It was too much. I walk over to the hooks by the door and grab my keys.
His hand grabs hold of me, spinninaround and pressinginto the wall, his warm body flush with mine. “Don’t run away.” “I’m not. I just….” I don’t even know what I need at this point. To kill, to drown myself in wine, a good fucking. I don’t know. I just need to clear my head.

He pries the keys out of my hand. “I will drive.” I give in and let him take them. While I slip my feet into swedges, he askswhere I want to go.
“Just drive.” I mutter and follow him out the front door.
He doesn’t speak as he winds the car through sback roads. He lets my thoughts run wild. Waiting forto take the lead.
I’m not even sure how far we have travelled when he pulls the car in under strees, but I could see the sun appearing in the distance.
“Drive!” “I’ve been driving for hours. We will need fuel if I keep it up.” He mutters.
It was now or never.
“I have spent my life searching for my half sister. To right the wrong that happened toand my mother. She was impossible to find until recently. All I had to go on was a nand when our kind are hidden from the world, do you know how hard that is?” He keeps his mouth closed but watchescarefully.
“I developed the desire to kill when I was a teenager and I was damn fucking good at it. It comes naturally. People paidto get rid of problems. A handy way of earning money while doing the thing I loved at the stime. Do you know how rare that is? Of course you don’t, I’m sure big brother had enough money to get you anything you wanted.” It was a bad dig, and I knew it was because I was so angry.
“Did Damien ever mention being evil?” He shakes his head “Honestly, I didn’t spend that much twith him.” “Shifting and killing does something to Lycans.” I shake my head. “It turns us into even worse monsters than what we already are and sometimes, there is no stopping it.” I sigh. I had never told anyone that before and it was so mentally draining to even think about it.
“You cback from being a monster.” His dark eyes linger on mine “And one day, I could lose that battle all over again.” He might as well hear the truth now he was learning my secrets.
“How long has it been?” “Four years.” “And you still think it’s a possibility?” I nod, watching the sun rise over the hills.
“Why?” My eyes flash to his. “What do you mean ‘why’?” “Why is there still a chance that you will go back to that life? Surely if you don’t want it, then you just don’t go back to it.” “If only it was that simple. The only way I can think of explaining it is that it has a hold on you. Lycans were not designed to live like humans or even Wolves. We were designed to keep the population under control.” “Numbers of humans keep growing and are slowly destroying the world so we knock them back down. Though sRogues go too far.” I add “You are talking about that town that I told you where Salem was from.” I nod. “They should have moved on. Their mistake.” “You’ve never spoken about it have you? You’ve kept that all to yourself for years.” “If you haven’t noticed, it’s not like I have friends, is it?”
He pulls the lever and slides the drivers seat back as far as it can go. He reaches over and unclips my belt. Grabbing hold of me, he pullsonto his lap and grabs my face, pulling it close to his. “You have me.” His lips hit mine with a new force. Rough and messy as his tongue forces my lips apart.
I had given him the worst news aboutand yet he hadn’t flinched om backed away He letget everything out without pushing too much for more information.
Twisting my body around until I’m straddling his thighs, Ilock my arms around his neck, and kiss him back as ferociously as he kisses me. He understoodfar more than anyone else had. I had let him in deeper than anyone else.
