There will be no pups if I’m dead anyway. Just the claws.’ Pain rips through my entire body. I could feel the claws pierce my fingertips as Mallory kept talking to him. Reaching behind, I plunge the claws into his stomach. His hands instantly let go of my throat as he yells in pain. My feet hit the ground and as I’m about to run, I lose my balance, landing face first in the dirt.

“NEAH, GET THE FUCK UP!’ She screams again.
There is shouting aroundwhen warm hands slip under my shoulders, helpingto my feet. Mallory’s face comes back into view.

So much anger-that needed to get off of my chest. Yet, asl stared back at her, nota single word leaves my lips. Every ounce of confidence I had is washed away. “You need to move!”
Mallory mutters. “I can take it from here.”
Raven appears at my side, looping her arm with mine and glaring at Mallory.
“I was just trying to help!”
Mallory frowns at Raven “Let’s go.”

“Roan.”
I mutter when we are away from the party.
“Dane is dealing with it.”

I ask quietly
“YES!”
She snaps again, avoiding eye contact. “You shouldn’t have Shifted.
“It was just my claws!”
I grumble, but as I study her face, I knew something was off “What’s wrong? She sighs, turning her back to me. “This is going to sound mad.”

Neah “What are you talking about Raven?”
I mutter as she tugsinto the house “It’s not her scent.”
Raven mutters. She shakes her head avoiding my gaze. “It’s on her. It’s someone she has been near.”
“Another Lycan?”
“I don’t know, there’s no way to tell the difference. You….when you first chere you smelled like a wolf. Though you had an odd scent too, from being bound. She said there were Rogues? What if it’s one of them?”
I shrug my shoulders, I didn’t know how to answer her. I didn’t have a clue what a Rogue was.
“I never thought….not after Salem.”
There is a hint of sadness in her eyes “You loved Salem.”
“A part ofstill does.”
She sighs. “He was everything and…. And he threw it away because of my brother. Because of my pack.”
“Do you think this new mate won’t meet your expectations?”
I was grateful for the distraction, even if it is only temporary.
“I don’t know. I just know he is going to have to be pretty amazing forto even consider accepting him.” “I will trade problems.”
I half smile at her “Your problems are my problems.”
she bumps her shoulder into mine. “And one of them is heading our way.”
Through the open front door, we see Mallory making her way towards us. Her hands are shoved into her jeans pockets. A frown etched on her face. What right did she have to be angry? She was lucky we hadn’t killed her already.
She stops just outside the front door. Her eyes on me. “Can we talk?”
The Audacity!’ Nyx snaps “I have nothing to say to you.”
I make it clear with my tone that I was not interested in anything she had to say. She nods her head, a small smile plays on her lips. “You don’t stutter anymore.”
My eyes narrow, “Why are you here? Why did my brother bring you here?”
“He was asked too.”
“By who?”
Raven demands “My best friend. Look, I didn’t want to come. I wanted to stay in my town, but the Rogues are difficult. Damien said they are becoming feral, impossible to control Raven’s dark eyes flicker tobefore returning to Mallory. “And where is this Damien?”
“He stayed behind, he is trying to kill the Rogues. He said if he does, he will meethere.
“This mate of yours, is he a Lycan too?’ “He is not my mate, but yes, he was bitten just like the rest of us.”
She shows usthe bite mark. “Well, = => almost like all of us.”
Her brown eyes settleonand she takes a step closer. “I believe you are the only puré bred left.”
a “That’s far enough.”
Raven holds a hand up to her. Placing herself betweenand Mallory.
“I still can’t believe you are alive.”
Mallory shakes out her blonde hair. “You should be dead. I thought I had killed you “Is that why you are here? To finish the job?”
Raven asks “No. Of course not.”
“Then why weren’t the first words out of your mouth an apology?”
Raven snaps.
