“~ a “What do you want? These people have done nothing to you. I have kept you safe. I have fed you. I provided you with a place to live without being hunted, I taught you how to survive! “And look where that has got us!”
“And who’s fault is that? You are the reason I am like this.”
He growls and lets Raven drop a few inches only to catch her by her foot. He swings her back and forth like skind of pendulum.
“And that is your reason for taking it out on her? Why did you wait, hun?”
‘I’ve been waiting for this for a long time, Damien. You have taken everything from me! And now, it’s tto take something of yours.”
“a Everything? You are blamingfor being like this; yet you wanted it. Fed up of yourshitty little human life, you asked forit. You knew what she had turnedinto and you still weat to her.id you think this would”
magically solve your problé ems?”
He growls at me. It had always been the same, even as a human, he had never liked the truth “You didn’t have to becthis. You chose this path. No one chose it for you. So blme all the fuck you want. She doesn’t deserve it “Never thought I would see the day where you had a soft spot for a girl.”
He mocks, continuing to swing her.
“What if I mark her?”
He pulls Raven back up, holding her neck close to his sharp teeth. “That would make things far more interesting.”
“We both know that you can’t mark her.”
“It’s such a pity, but I could rip her precious little throat out. What do you think?”
He laps his tongue over her bare neck. “Delicious!”
A feral growl comes from deep inside my chest, but he doesn’t seem to notice. It was bad enough he had her, but to viclate her in front ofwas a step too far He rotates her around. “Or maybe a chunk of her thigh? Would you still want her then?”
“Let her go!” I snarl at him “No.”
He jumps to another tree, keeping his grip on my mate. “If you want her, cand get her!
Charging up the nearest tree, I follow him closely. He laughs, jumping through thettees like an overgrown, monkey His claw’s are tightly = = wrapped around Raven so she \° doesitt fall. His feet make sof thebranches crack as he lands. Making it harder forto-follow his exact trail.
He stops, suddenly spinning around to look at me.”Enough of this shit.
You took what was mine and now I’m O taking something of yours. I know you like to suffer. So let’s see how you cope without her, brother.”
I see Raven’s eyes open just as he sinks his teeth into her leg. She lets out a blood curdling scream as he rips her flesh away, exposing her bone. Blood spurts from the hole as he laughs. He stares atas he slowly chews her flesh.
“I will fucking kill you, Salem!”
Neah.
“Hi Eric.”
I mutter as he slips in my room. “Is everything okay? “It’s fine.”
He mutters, locking the door. “Dane just wants you to stay here for now.”
“Why?”
“No particular reason.”
He’s lying.”
Nyx mutters I know.’ I spit back Eric doesn’t look atas he moves around the room and checks the windows. “You know if someone wants to get in, they can just break the glass.”
He avoids my gaze.
“It’s back isn’t it? The Rogue Lycan. That’s why you are here and Damien has gone.”
He givesa weak smile. “It wasn’t that long ago that you didn’t really say what was on your mind. Keeping your thoughts to yourself and not wanting to know the truth.”
“Dane has gone after it, hasn’t he?”
“He’s with Damien and Klaus, yes “Dane toldwhat Damien said about the Rogue. How they like to play games? If you are checking everything is locked, you think it’s going to chere, don’t you? You think it’s going te cfor me?”
“It’s just a precaution. We don’t know what it wants.”
“Where?”
Eric doesn’t answer”Eric, tell me.”
“It was at the hospital. It has Raven.”
“What? Why?”
I stare at him, why hadn’t he just toldthat in the first place? He’s not stupid, he knows you will want to help.’ Nyx murmurs “I don’t know. All I know is that it was at the hospital when Raven linked Dane. “And? “It’s taken her into the forest. Neah, Dane wants you to stay here.”
“It’s a Lycan.”
I mutter “A Rogue Lycan.”
Eric replies. “You can’t do anything, it doesn’t listen to anyone.”
“But Damien thinks he can help?”
I frown Eric’s shoulders drop.
“There’s something you haven’t told me. What is it? “The Rogue is Damien’s brother.”
He looks over at me. “I don’t know the ins and outs. But this is not the first the has gone after Raven.”
I stumble back, sitting on the bed. I could feel my own deep frown, annoyed that this had been kept from me. Why hadn”t Damien said anything? Or my own mate. Raven was my friend I march over to the closet, pulling out sboots. “Neah, you can’t, you have to stay here. The twins.”
“lam not leaving her! “Think of the twins! ‘Lam. Do you think it’s just going te. stop if itt kills Raven? What aboutall the children in the pack? They will be easy targets and I would have just stood aside and let it happen!”
He blocks the door. “I can’t let you go, Neah. Danes orders!”
“Move Eric!”
“I need to protect you.”
“Then cwith me.”
I glare at him.
“Dane is going to kill me.”
He mutters as he steps to one side “Then don’t let anything happen to me.”
I snap as I stride through the door.
Eric followsthrough the house, insisting that this is a mistake.
I swing around to face him. “Maybe it is, but Raver doesn’ deserve this. They were alftu rned because of me. And now-because there is one that e has taken too far, she might die? I can’t let that happen, Eric. If she’ hadi’t been around when Verbnica druigged me, I wouldn’t be-here today. So please, be on ry side and helpfind her.”
He nods his head atand we quickly make our way down to the forest.
I step into. the forest quietly and ask Nyx to black Dane. I knew he had: asked je not to do that butI didn’t need him worrying aboutwhen his sts er was missing. OnlyBric is to-know lam here.
Moving quickly, my legs seemed to know exactly where t wanted to go, tolgo, carrying twithout question. I’m not sure how far we have travelled before I hear a scream. A scream that sounded like Raven
“Are you sure about this?”
Eric whispers, grabbing my arm I nod, “I have to try,”and charge forward leaving Eric behind I could hear Damien talking. It tooka moment to see him, high in a tree.
