“She wasn’t with Blair.” I whisper, confused. “She was found chained in a bar full of humans. About a year ago.
Damien brought her back here. We took her in because she is a Wolf and…..” I trail off, I wasn’t prepared to tell another stranger about my past or how I felt I had to save Dorothy because no one had saved me.
“A Hunter.” He mutters. But he still watches me, like he knew I had something else to say.
“Blair took her?” Dane asks as he tries to keep the wriggling twins in his arms.
Abraxas lowers the gun, but his finger still hovers on the trigger.
“Dorothy and my pregnant mayq ere with my parse Has ona hint ‘She killed all of them except Dorothy.” He laughs, “Fucking whore took her. I guess she got bored with looking after a toddler and pawned her off.”
“You should still kill him.” Nyx growls. ‘Just for pointing that shit at us.’
“That doesn’t prove anything.” Damien snaps as I try to ignore my Lycan I watch as Abraxas slips two fingers into his jeans pocket. He pulls out a small photo and hands it to me. A
pregnant HEED) sigre9back With bight dren eyes and a smile that could light up any room. A small girl leans over the woman’s shoulder,
beaming at the camera. Dorothy got all her looks from her mother,
including the dimples when she smiled.
A sadness fillsbecause his mate looked to be due at the tof the photo which means si@waskiled shortly btéMards. Abraxas had lost everyone in the blink of an eye.
Including the only person to survive Blairs attack on his family.
Dane moves towardsand both boys reach out foras I show him the photo. He saw it just like I did. There = a, y was no mistake that the young girl was Dorothy. p— °
“Are you really believing this shit?” Damien demands “Damien put her down.” Dane tells him.
“You have got to be kidding me. Look at her.” He points to the girl clinging to him I had. She hadn’t made a sound. But there were also no tears and she wasn’t panicking. She had been listening to everything as she hugged the one man that she truly trusted.
“Damien!” I didn’t want to order him, but I would if I had too, especially now that I was getting the hang of it.
He stares atfor a few moments and mutters, “She’s my kid.” “She’s his too.” Reluctantly, he lowers her until her feet are touching the grass. Dorothy grips on to his hand as she stares at Abraxas. It was like everything slowed down as she let go of Damien’s hand and ran into Abraxas’s open arms.
“I’m here, baby girl. I finally found you.” He reassures her.
Damien turns and starts to walk away when Dorothy calls out to him. “Daddy don’t go.” He turns his head over his shoulder. “I’m not going anywhere, Dottie. I’m just going to check on Raven.”” When Damien is out of sight, Abraxas asks us why we have been letting a Rogue look after his kid.
“You said she is a Hunter too.” Dane smiles. “Well she chose him to be her safe person. He’s the only one she confidently talks too about what happened to her. Whether you like it or not, she chose him and he will always be a part of her life.” Dane steps forward, putting his hands over Dorothy’s ears. “Point a gun at my mate again. I will pull your organs out through your ass and feed them to you.” “Fair enough. Though you would need to be quicker than a bullet.” Abraxas smirks back “Then I suggest you sleep with one eye open.” Dane takes the boys up to the house. He wantedto go with him but I found myself rooted to the spot, staring at the strange Wolf.
“Dorothy, could you go and help Dane.” I didn’t want to separate her and her father, not after just getting her back. But the way he had been staring atwas like he knew something else about me.
I see Eric appear twenty metres away. I’m guessing Dane linked him when I didn’t follow my mate away.
“Blondie has been watching for a while.” Abraxas tells”He doesn’t like you calling him that.” “I’m not here to make friends.” “Would you really have shot me?” “The moment your beast was free.” He nods “In front of Dorothy?” “She’s a Hunter.” I pause, I remember how Damien had said Dorothy hadn’t really reacted to the slaughtered humans in the bar, and even her nightmares weren’t filled with them but with the things that had been done to her.
“Thank you for keeping her safe.” His words takeby surprise. A few minutes ago, death was staringin the face.
“How did you know?” “That you were on the path to shifting? I see it. I see the darkness moving in. My question to you is, how do you hold it off?”
‘What is that supposed to mean?’ Nyx presses. She sounds annoyed, had felt her anger towards others. But Abraxas seems to have sent her to a whole other level. “Why do you want to know?” “Never seen anyone do it like you do it. I’m curious.” “I was given sadvice.”
“From the other assholes? I would take that with a pinch of salt. There is a difference between them and you. They have already gone Rogue.” “They shifted back. Mallory more easily than Damien and they both have been fine.” “In my experience, it doesn’t stay that way.” “They’re different.”
“You keep telling yourself that. There will ca twhen something triggers them. Something throws them over the edge and they are unable to return from it.” “You don’t know them.” “I’ve been doing this a long tand right now, I’m more concerned about that Rogue that has attached himself to my daughter.” Ashburn Abraxas “She adores him.” Neah tells me. I could see that myself. Dorothy wasn’t old enough to use her Hunter abilities, to her, she may have seen the man who saved her, but to me, he is a ticking tbomb and I don’t want her anywhere near that.
“Would you let your boys near someone you deemed unsafe? I saw the way you looked at Dane when he stood betweenand the Rogue. Two squirming babies in his arms. He put them directly in the line of danger.” “Obviously I wasn’t happy.” “You still held it together.” She frowns at me. But it is a frown born of confusion, not anger. If it were anger, she would have that little crease that formed between her brows earlier. Something that surprisedconsidering I had pointed a gun at her. Even Mallory had acted like she had been jabbed with a taser.
“I’m sorry she did that to you.” An apology was the last thing I expected. She was a little more unpredictable than I first thought. Maybe she was what all the Lycans needed. Maybe she could be the one to keep them all in line.
