“Where’s the fucking fun in that?” He looked so disappointed by the idea.
“Cto the pack with us. And I will explain everything on the way.” “I aint no pack lackie!” “I thought you wanted to kill Rogues?!” Sometimes, having a mad man close by was better than having him far away and knowing about us.
Surprisingly, it takes less convincing than what I thought it would. That could be a bad sign, or maybe knowing that he could get a chance to kill loads of Rogues is what tipped the scales.
Klaus and I wait in the kitchen as Eric followed Abraxas around the house as he collects his weapons.
“Have you linked Dane?” I ask Klaus as another duffle bag is dropped onto the floor. Seven large bags and still counting. This guy was packing sserious shit.
“Done.” Abraxas mutters, dropping a fifteenth bag. He had changed into jeans and a crisp white tee. “Let’s get the show on the road, though I want the girl with me. Just in case.” “If you touch her….” Eric starts.
“Yeah, what are you going to do about it, Blondie? She will be dead before you even get out of your car. It’s pretty simple, you don’t fuckover, she gets to live.” Much to Eric’s annoyance, I agree.
We help Abraxas load his truck and just before I get in, Eric pullsin against him. His lips mould against mine. “Don’t do anything stupid. I don’t like this guy.” I nod and slip into the passenger seat as Eric gives Abraxas one more glare.
Abraxas doesn’t askanything during the journey. He fiddles with the music a few times, but mostly stews in silence.
Shit, he hates Blair.
“There’s something you need to be aware of.” I blurt out “I fucking knew it.” He pulls a handgun out of his belt and points it at me.
“It’s not what you think. You were right, we didn’t tell you something and not because we were hiding it.” The words fall quickly from my mouth. “The female Alpha looks almost identical to Blair, the only difference is Neah has blue eyes.” “Is this a joke? Has Blair got you believing that crap?” “I swear, I have seen them both at the stime.” I probably had less than a second for him to decide if I was telling the truth or not. And I had no way to prove it. Think! “Do you have a phone?” I had the office phone number memorised. Something Dane had madedo when I first moved to Black Shadow in case I got into trouble.
“Why?” “So you can hear her voice. She sounds nothing like Blair.” For a brief second, he lowers the gun and pulls a phone from his pocket. I dial in the number and Dane answers.
I switch it to speaker phone so Abraxas can listen in. “Dane, is Neah awake.” “Mallory, is everything okay?” “I just need Neah on the phone. It’s urgent because we will be at the pack soon.” All hell will break loose if Abraxas thinks they are the sperson. And he has enough weapons and ammo to take down half the pack. Maybe more “Hello? Mallory, is that you? Why didn’t you just link me? Neam mutters through the phone.
The car in front with Eric and Klaus slows. Dane was probably linking them and Erid/will know that my heart rate is through the roof again. “Ask her something.” I mutter at Abraxas He reaches over and hits the end call button.
“Why did you do that? I was trying to prove who she is.
“I heard exactly who she is.” “You can tell, just like that?” “Just like that.” He repeats “But how?” “It’s a gift.” “She said like ten words.” “It’s enough.” Why did I just feel like every organ fell out my ass?
Dane Damien and I waited at the gates. It was still dark outside though the sun would be rising shortly. I was curious and cautious about this Abraxas guy. He had agreed to chere far too easily and that wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
The call with Mallory was even stranger. The guy didn’t speak, yet Mallory told him to ask a question, specifically to Neah and I still had no idea why. The line went dead just as quickly and a sleepy Neah stared atas if I had just pranked her.
The cars cto a stop on the other side of the gates. Klaus is the first to exit the car. Shortly followed by an angry Eric.
“I told you to not stick a fucking gun in her face!” Eric yells as he turns towards the vehicle behind them.
“You can never be too careful.” An unfamiliar voice retorts. Though his tone appeared to be emotionless. “And I warned all of you, I didn’t want any surprises. You can chill now, she is still alive!” “It’s okay Eric. It was my fault.” Mallory mutters. “He hates Blair so I had to tell him about Neah. I didn’t want him to accidentally shoot her because they look alike.” ‘What the hell happened out there?’ Aero asks’That’s what I’m trying to find out.’ I mumble back The four of them move towards us. Eric and Mallory walk behind Abraxas, while Klaus keeps his presence close to him. The guy didn’t seem to care. He strolled forward like he was on an evening walk. A bag slung over his shoulder, his hands shoved in his denim pockets.
He comes to a stop in front of the gates, his hazel eyes locking with mine. “Dane.” “People outside my pack refer toas Alpha.” “Yeah, ain’t doing that. Not when you let scum in your pack.” His eyes momentarily move to Damien and he spits on the ground. If there hadn’t been gates between us, Damien would be wringing his neck.
“Show sfucking respect.” Damien growls.
“Respect is earned.” Abraxas snarls back. “And I have no respect for your kind, Rogue.” “I’m not a Rogue!” Damien’s nostrils flare as he grips the bars of the gate.
“But you were. And you still feel the pull.” Abraxas grins at him. “How long before you are pushed over the edge, Damien? A week? A couple of months. Either way, I’m happy to end your miserable life.” “You told him?” Damien demands as he glares at Mallory.
“No, I swear.” Mallory mutters. “It’s like I said, he just knows things.” ‘A mental case by the sounds of it.’ Aero rumbles Abraxas stares atbut points to Eric, “Why don’t you tell him, Blondie!” “My nis Eric!” He snaps back. Eric moves forward, frowning, “The guy claims he can tell the difference between Lycans and Rogues. Calls himself a Hunter.” “It’s not a claim, Blondie. It’s a fact. A centuries old fact.” “Whatever, just keep away from my mate or I will put a bullet through you.” Abraxas laughs like it’s a challenge. “Now are you going to letin? You lot did askto chere.” “Why did you agree so easily?” I press “She madea deal.” He points to Mallory. “And if that deal doesn’t hold, I’m going to go on my own little killing spree. Starting with her.”
Mallory puffs her cheeks out.
Whatever she had said, she had done it to herself.Xdon’t for protect herself. X don’t blher for that. But the decision isn’t up to her. “I’m the only one around here who gets to make deals.” I growl “Is that right?” He mocks “He can tell the difference.” Mallory blurts. “I said he could kill the bach Lycans it will be easier than growing blood of wolfsbane. Word won’t be able to get out.” “Is that true?” “It’s what makesa Hunter.” “As long as I get to kill something, I’m happy. So it’s your choice Dane.” Abraxas smirks at me. His lips peeling back over his teeth into a grin
If I said yes, I was letting a mad man onto my lands. If I said no, a mad man knew of our location.
“Tellmore about being a Hunter.” “The info is pretty much in the title. What more do you need?” Abraxas smirks at”Do you kill Wolves?” “It’s happened.” He shrugs his shoulders “Your priority is Rogues?” He dips his chin at me.
