“Can someone even apologise for something like that?”
Mallory tuts with a frown. “It’s unforgivable. The words won’t mean anything. I know that if it were the other way around, Neah wouldn’t be apologising to me.”
No,’ Nyx murmurs, ‘We would have made sure we finished the job!’ “You should leave!”
Raven snaps at Mallory ‘I’ve not killed anyone, not since that day.”
Maltory mumbles, ignoring Raven.”I’couldn’t. I shift purely. to scare- people. To make them back off. wnake threats, but it’s rare I ‘low through. That day changed “
“And that’s supposed to makefeel sorry for you!”
I snap.
“No, that’s notwhat I’m saying. I they used me-too. Cassandra did. She told m meties about you. Lies that believedat the tbecause I = thought she was the most amazing person and I wanted to makeher happy. I wanted her to believe I was wérthy.”
“By hurting a defenceless girl? What the fuck is wrong with you?”
Raven growls She shrugs her shoulders, “Everything.
Mallory’s eyes shift betweenand Raven. “I helped him find Jess.”
“I can’t listen to this.”
I whisper to Raven.
Raven neds her head atand tellsto go lie down.
I leave the both of them talking as I head upstairs to rest. Trey and Cassandra are dead, I didn’t think I would need to deal with anymore people from my past.
I was in and out of sleep when Dane appeared, bringing with him the stench of blood “Is Roan dead? mutter sleepily “Not yet.”
He leans overand presses his lips against mine. “We are having sfun first.”
He pulls away fromand seconds. later the shower is turned on. I wait for him to get in before? sit up and ask the burning question. “Why did you bring her here?”
He pauses to look through the glass door at me. “I was asked to bring her.”
“By this Damien guy?”
“Yes.”
“After what she did to me?”
“What she did was horrendous, I am not disputing that. And I am thankful that she didn’t kill you. But just like you are haunted by your parents death, she is haunted by what she did to you.”
“Good!”
I lie back and stare up at the ceiling. “She deserves to be haunted.”
He doesn’t respond and finishes his shower as I lay in silence. Eventually, he climbs into bed, pullingin against him. “I am not asking you to forgive her. I am not asking you to becfriends with her.
“I don’t understand why she is here.”
I mutter, fighting the tears “She didn’t have to helpfind Jess, but she did anyway. If it wasn’t for her. Jess would likely not be here.”
“That doesn’t answer my question.”
He rests his hands on my stomach and exhales. “I don’t have an answer right now. Or at least I don’t have anything to say that will make you fee better.”
Sitting up, I stare at him, “You always have an answer.”
He doesn’t speak. In the darkness. I watch his chest rise and fall. It wasn’t like him. He always had an answer and that unsettledas much as Mallory being here.
At the breakfast table, I sit my face in my hands. I felt like crap.
“Con.”
Klaus speaks softly to me. “You are nearly done.”
He taps the book in front of me. “Sorry,”
I mutter. “Dane said you weren’t feeling your best this morning.”
He offers a smile.
“No one warnedabout this side of pregnancy. And I’m so fed up of fucking ginger biscuits!”
He grins and taps the book again. “Try to focus on this.
I read a few more sentences and look up at him. “Has he said anything to you?”
“About Mallory? No.”
“But he’s with her now.”
I glance to the window “He said he is showing her around.
“Why?”
“I didn’t get a chance to ask. But I assit’s so she knows where everything is.”
“Do you think he is mated to her? Is that why he is welcoming her with open arms? “What?!”
Klaus splutters his drink all across the table and the book I’m supposed to be reading. “It’s just… I was mated to Kyle and Dane at the stime. He could have another mate out there.”
“That explains why you look so tired. Were you up all night, thinking about that?”
I look away “Neah, I don’t know if it’s your hormones playing tricks on you or you are gequinely overthinking it, Rut there is: 5 NO way. Dane is an honest guy. You know how long it took him to find you.”
He closes the book I in fromt of me. “Let’s go for a.walk.”
Conten belongs to swnevel’I’m supposed to be resting.”
“What good is rest going to do if you are just going to lie there stressing out?”
Stepping out into the warm morning sun. I see Dane, standing on his own. His arms folded across his chest as he observes the pack “You should be in bed if you are not studying!”
He mutters as we approach him.
“Where’s Mallory?”
I demand and he cocks a brow at me.
“Settling in at her temporary home.”
His crimson eyes move to Klaus. “Can you give us sspace?” Klaus tellsthat he will catch up tolater and givesa wink as he walks away.
I take a deep breath and ask the question that has been plaguingall night. “Is there something going on between you two?”
‘I’ve been waiting for you to ask since I read your mind last night.”
He smiles, trying to break my tension “And? “No.”
He pullsinto his arms. “You are my only mate. You are the one I love. You are the one carrying my children.”
“Then helpunderstand because I feel like I am losing my mind!”
I blink back the tears that are trying to escape.
