“You won’t touch my mate or my sons.” “Are they Rogues?” “No. They are all Lycans.” His lip curls up, “You got Lycans for kids? how fucking unlucky.” I step forward, the bars of the gate the only thing separating us. My eyes lock on to his. “You don’t touch them and you don’t harm them.” “Have they started training yet?” “They are babies.” He cocks an eyebrow and looks down, muttering “so much for the breed dying out.” His hazel eyes flicker back up to mine. “I won’t touch them.” “Or harm them.” He rolls his eyes. “Fine.” I pull the gates open, letting him and the others in. “When do I get to meet this female Alpha?” “A few hours,” There was no way I was waking her up again.
“I ain’t waiting hours.” “If f you want to kill sRogues. You will wait.” I snap. It was my pack. I wasn’t letting spsycho tellhow to run it.
Abraxas sits in the corner of my office, taking apart his gun and cleaning it as the others tellwhat happened. Every now and again he would chip in, confirming what the others were saying, but never adding any new information.
“Hey,” Neah’s voice travels down the stairs, “I can smell a….” she trails off as she enters the office, staring at Abraxas.
Abraxas is on his feet. “You weren’t kidding when you said she was identical.” He gazes at her far too long for my liking.
“Who are you?” Neah’s defence was up immediately. Her arms fold across her body as she glared at him.
“Your knight in shining armour.” He muses, bowing in front of her. “And a Rogue’s worst nightmare.” “I don’t need a knight. This isn’t sfucking fairytale where you slay the dragon.” She stares at him. Her whole body is tense.
“Blair.” He mutters her nand sits back down, returning to cleaning his gun.
“You’ve dealt with Blair?” Neah asks with a small frown.
“I have unfinished business with Blair. But I hear many of you do.” He m shrugs his shoulders and chuckles. “I would like to be the one to kill her, but I heard there was a queue.” “What did she do to you?” Neah questions “More than enough and she needs to pay for that. You see Neah, I want to put a bullet right in the centre of that pretty little head of hers. I want her to pay for everything she did to me. Every damn little thing. I want my eyes to be the last thing she sees.” “She did more than kill your parents, didn’t she?” Mallory asks, stepping towards him. I watch Eric reach out to try and grab her, just missing her arm.
“You don’t need to concern yourself with that. As long as she dies, then my day is made.” Abraxas tells her There was obviously something he didn’t want to share or maybe wasn’t ready to share, yet I couldn’t help wondering what else it was that she did to him.
They ask him more questions. Most he doesn’t answer, swerving them m with his own questions. Othe answers were short and abrupt, but I also see him watching Neah. His eyes following her every movement.
He wasn’t just curious about her, he seemed fascinated. Was it because she looked like Blair or was there sother reason that he was yet to tell us?
Abraxas It was almost uncomfortable how much she looked like Blair. I knew it wasn’t her.
Apart from the eyes, her soul gave her away. The darkness hovered in her, but she hadn’t gone Rogue yet. She was fighting it and she had been fighting it for stime, a long time.
No other Lycan I had cacross had been able to fight it off for so long. Once the darkness sets in, they have weeks, maybe months at most. Yet somehow, Neah had been fighting it for well over a year, maybe even most of her life. Unaware that it was even there.
A Hunter’s instinct would be to kill her. To put her out of her misery. To end her before she does too much damage. But even I could see there was something different about her.
The edges of her soul are tinted black, but unlike others, the majority of it is bright. It shouldn’t be possible and yet, here I was, seeing it for myself. Like she was in a constant battle. She hadn’t won it yet, but she was trying.
They ask more questions, trying to get more answers fromabout Blair. Mallory tells them that Blair killed my parents, but there is so much more to it than that. And that is something I didn’t share with anyone. But they wanted to know and they kept pushing and pushing apart from Neah who was quiet.
They didn’t need to know anything else about me. I cto do a job and that was all that mattered.
Neah stands and I find myself standing too. I tuck the gun into my waistband as Dane leans down to kiss her cheek. A similar gesture that I would make to my mate.
I wanted to speak to Neah alone. I wanted to see if the colour of her soul would change. “Can we speak?” “Why?” Her walls go up immediately as she stares back at me. Big blue eyes trying to process what my plan could be.
“I’m used to working alone. I’m used to hunting in a certain way. If I’m to work with you, I need to know how you operate, what your intentions are and what you are planning.” It was a lie. I could already see how she worked. Act first, think later, common for those that have lived a life of trauma. Maybe that was when the darkness started.
“I don’t think that is a good idea.” Crimson eyed Dane mutters.
“Is she not capable of making her own decisions?” I challenge. She was his mate and technically a Luna of his pack and an Alpha in her own right. She was far from weak.
“It’s not her judgement I’m questioning.” He mutters back.
“I said I wouldn’t hurt her. Unlike you predictable Wolves, I am able to control myself.” I flick my eyes back to Neah who was hovering by the office door. Her hand already on the handle ready to leave and yet she hadn’t.
I pull the gun back out my waistband.
Her eyes follow it as I drop it onto Dane’s desk. I could still kilther if I wanted too. But maybe this would make her feel at ease. Instead, I see something else.
The light of her soul dims to grey and her eyes darken. It took a lot less tthan I expected wonder if she knew what was causing the darkness. Or whether she had been convinced it was something else.
Her hands clench into fists at her side and she shakes her head, puffing out her cheeks. It takes a souls growin minute before her soul is growing with light again. She had more control than what her Lycan liked.
