“Raven, this is Abraxas. Abraxas, this is my sister Raven and the guy in the bed is my brother, Jenson.” The asshole stares at me, waiting forto move. I position myself next to Raven and the idiot smirks at me. As soon as we are alone, I’m going to stitch his lips shut so he can never smirk again.
He settles into a chair on the other side of Jenson, propping an ankle on his knee as he stares at my mate’s brother.
“He’s a Wolf?” “Thought you could tell the difference?” I sneer “That’s not why I was questioning it, Rogue. I’m questioning how he can be a Wolf.” “I don’t understand.” Dane frowns “You toldwhat he did to himself. That he practically killed himself to get rid of his Wolf so that he didn’t have a connection to Blair.” “Yes.” “Hmm” He’s staring at my mate in that strange way he looked at Neah.
“What?” Raven mutters. “What is it?” The asshole frowns as his eyes move down to my mate holding Jenson’s hand. “Humour me, let go.” “Why?” She mutters.
“Curiosity.” He said that quite a lot. It was annoying that he never explained himself. Not unless he wanted to.
“I can’t.” Raven whispers. “I’m not ready.” “He’s not going anywhere,” The asshole tells her She nods her head and her hand slowly retreats. Why did they listen to everything he said like it was law? How could I be the only one not to trust him? A smile appears on his face after several minutes of silence. “Okay, you can hold him again.” He mutters and leaves.
“I will be right back.” I tell my mate and follow Daneand Abraxas from the room. “What the fuck was that about?” “He’s not dead.” The asshole mutters.
“The machines……” Dane starts “The machines are letting him heal, very very slowly.” He runs his hand through the stubble on his cheeks! “Twin Wolves both in essence and spirit. Much like mates, they can connect on more levels. Surely you know this.” “I know their bond is different.” Dane replies.
“You should prepare yourself, your sons have the sbond.” “Really? Do you really get off on spewing this crap? Those machines are what are keeping him alive.” “Nah.” I square up to him and he laughs. “You should never have chere, asshole.” “Neither should you, Rogue.” His movement is quick and I feel a gun pressed to the side of my head.
“Abraxas!” Dane growls.
“I promised not to hurt your mate.” He smiles atas he staresdead in the eye. “I didn’t promise wouldn’t kill the Rogue.” His eyes narrow. “Your brain will make a lovely piece of art, smeared against the wall to our left. I might even put a fraround it.” “Son of a bitch.” “You shouldn’t talk about someone else’s mother like that. Not when you have your own family problems.” He pushes the end of the gun firmly against my temple.
“You two are worse than squabbling children!” Dane snaps. “Abraxas put the gun down. Damien go to Raven.”
“Looks like it’s your lucky day.” The asshole grins at me. “I was quite looking forward to hanging a frame. I was Her going to add a httle information.
‘Here lies the remnants of a Rogue. He thought he knew what he was doing, but the darkness took him instead.’ Has a nice sound to it, doesn’t it?” A low growl rumbles from my chest and he laughs. He taps the gun against my temple twice. “Remember, I’m always prepared, Rogue.” He winks atand turns away, acting like it was his decision not to shoot me.
Ashburn “Are you going to tellwhat that was about?” Raven asks quietly as I slam the door. She doesn’t look at me, her eyes are only on her brother.
“That asshole claims to be a Hunter.” “Isn’t he a Wolf?” “A Hunter of Rogues and Lycans.” She puffs out her cheeks and drags her dark orbs away from her brother to look at me. “Why would my brother bring him here? With you and Neah, Mallory and the boys” “The guy has issues with Blair too.” I groan “And Mallory roped him into helping Neah.” **** “He’s Dorothy’s father?” She is staring atas I break the news. It’s the most she had looked atsince Jenson had landed himself in here. It was a good thing, to get her tired mind focussed on something else even if it’s just for a few minutes.
“Apparently.” “Are you sure?” “I saw the way he looked at her. It’s the slook Neah and Dane have when they look at their boys.” “How is Dorothy taking it?” “Surprisingly well. She seemed to know who she was.” I frown, thinking about the way she hugged me. I thought she had been scared but now I wonder if she had been overwhelmed with her feelings. “She ran into his arms.” “She won’t stop loving you.” Raven givesa small smile.
“I’m not her father though, am I?!” It felt like my heart was being torn apart when I thought about it. “Don’t give up on it just yet. Dorothy adores you. You are the only one allowed to call her Dottie. She won’t just fade from your life.” “She will if he takes her. This is her hRaven. She loves everyone here. She’s a pack Wolf.” “If he is helping Neah, he will be here for a while yet. Blair hasn’t shown herself since you last saw her. Dorothy isn’t leaving your life that easily.” She scowls at”And you can’t kill him. That will destroy her.” Her gaze lowers to her brother and I knew I had lost her again. As she falls into silence, I mull over what the asshole said. ‘Twins in essence and spirit.’ And the machines weren’t what was keeping him alive.
I knew Raven said that their Wolves were twins too. Surely he couldn’t mean it was Midnight keeping Jenson alive? As much as I couldn’t stand the bastard, I needed to know if that was what he meant.
Dane and the asshole hadn’t gone far. They were still outside the hospital.
“What did you mean the machines are not keeping him alive?” I demand He smirks at me. I really wanted to wrap my hands around his throat and crush his windpipe.
“He was just saying that it’s Raven.” Dane tells”Con then, let’s hear your amazing theory behind this.” “Do you actually want to hear it, or are you just being an idiot?” Dane’s crimson eyes lock on mine. He doesn’t say anything and I don’t need to ask to know he wantsto choose my words carefully.
“I want to hear!” I mutter through a clenched jaw “He lives because of her. Twins who share twin Wolves are as rare as Neah is. But you know that, right?” “I’m aware.” “Their souls are intertwined.” He slots his fingers together.
“And how is that supposed to work? He left the pack.” “They leave a part of themselves with the other one. When I say she is keeping him alive it’s because….” “Part of her soul lives in him” Dane finishes for him. “She’s not dead, he can’t move on.”
“Nailed it!” The asshole claps his hands together and winks at Dane. “And that is why you, Dane, were able to feel his death and carry on. She can’t, she’s stuck.” “Does he have a soul?” Dane asks with a creased brow “I think you already know the answer to that.” “Okay then, wise one.” I mutter in my most sarcastic tone. “What do we do with him if my mate is the one keeping him alive?”
“There is nothing you can do. You have to leave it to the higher powers.
e The machines are allowing him to’ heal. But no one can survive without a soul. Maybe if they think he deserves it, they will give him a new one. But you better pray for it.” “Fucking nutjob.” I mutter, turning away. Never have I heard so much crap.
“You love my baby girl.” He shouts after me. “She will grow up to be just I likeand if somehow, I decide to let you live, are you going to make her believe she is losing the plot?” “You can’t guarantee that she will be just like you.” “It’s genetics and I have already seen it.” I was about to answer when Neah’s voice echoed in my head. ‘This is your Alpha. Your presence is required in Black Shadow.’ I look up, confused, I was already in Black Shadow. I was about to ask Dane what was going on when I see Mallory running towards us with a massive grin.
“She did it! She sent out a link to everyone.”
Abraxas “She actually did it?” Dane asks in surprise. He turns to face the direction of the pack house. “How?” Mallory shrugs her shoulders. “I wasn’t with her.” Dane scowls and not because he didn’t want it to happen but because Neah had managed to do it without guidance.
“I saw Damien over here with you two and just….” She stops and her brown eyes shift up to the hospital doors with a frown. She doesn’t question why we are here even though she wants too.
