She whimpers, her face creases up from the pain in her leg “He needs space. He has just lost his mate.”
“But he…”
“Raven, give him space.”
“You can’t do anything for him.”
Damien speaks softly to her. “This is something he has to deal with.” She slowly nods her head as he wraps an arm around her shoulders. I see her shrug him off with a frown. “What does he look like in human form?”
I ask. I had never had a chance to meet Salem before he rejected my sister.
“Well, I don’t know now. He used to have chestnut eyes. but those eyes that I saw were like black holes.”
Raven whispers. “His hair matched his eyes.”
A smile creeps up on her lips as she recalls him “A tattoo on his neck.”
Damien adds “Like yours?”
He nods. “A family thing.
“About six feet tall. A wide smile.”
Damien growls as she continues to describe him to us. Again as he tries to reach for her shoulder she moves out of the way. The latest bit of news about luring humans to their death had clearly upset her.
Sending out a link to the entire pack. I remind them that the only guests we have in the pack are Damien and Mallory. Anyone else was to be taken out on sight.
“Stay in the house, Raven.”
“You think he will cforagain?”
“I don’t know, but this way, I know where you are.”
She nods her head, glancing back at the pool of blood where Jess had been. “Do you wantto tell Neah?”
“No, that should cfrom me.”
Raven hobbies out of the hospital, Damien 1 closely following her. She”
was already snapping at him to’stay away 4 from her. They were having a muet rockier start to their bond than what Neah and I had. I hang back, not wanting to get caught up in their issues Cleaning upthe blood, I try to decide how I was going to break the news to eah. The twins were already- taking their toll on her and this news might just be the thing that tips her over. ~ By the tI make it back to the packhouse. Damien and Raven are having a full on argument, right in the foyer.
I side step ardund them, following my mates scent to the kitchen. She rolls her beautiful blue eyes atas she stuffs toast in her mouth. When she sees my face, she lowers the toastand scowls. “Why is there bloed on you?”
Conten belongs to a “He got out.”
“Roan?”
I shake my head “How?”
I tell her our theory. Still not mentioning Jess.
“I can find him.”
she mutters, am brushing, the crumbs from her hands “No. He will be smarter this time. Damien is certain of it.”
She shuffles on the chair, her brow knitting together. “How did he get out? He can barely walk, if he can He can even walk at all. “We have reason to believe Jess let him out.”
“No. She wouldn’t… she….”
She trails off as her blue eyes findmine. “She’s dead isn’t she?”
Raven “You don’t get to fucking tellhow I should feel.”
I jab a crutch in Damien’s direction. “Raven, I don’t do that anymore. I haven’t done it for a long time.”
“And what if a deer isn’t good enough for you? What if whatever we hunt on a pack run isn’t good enough? Will you disappear into the city to get a human fix? Will you lure a human to their death because I have not got the patience or the desire to deal with that.”
“I have a brother who right now might be losing the plot over his dead mate. I have a pregnant friend who is probably receiving sof the worst news she has heard in a while. And an ex mate that is loose in the pack and could be coming afterto fuck up my other leg. So stop tellinghow I should feel!”
My shoulders rise and fall with my heaving breathing. My heart hammers in my chest as he stares at me. It was all too much. The drips of information The secrets. Is this what it would always be like? “Raven…”
“Stop, just, stop.”
I stamp one of the crutches on the ground to prove my point, almost losing my balance in the process. I’m mad too!’ Midnight snaps Damien narrows his eyes at me.
I drop my shoulders and shake my head. “There is nothing you can say toright now, Damien. I…I just can’t right now.”
I turn, ready to habble to the kitchen. He grabs me. pullingback around to face him as the crutches fall to the floor. “You don’t get to walk away. If we are going to argue, we are going to find a solution before either of us walk away.
“You don’t get to decide that.”
My hands push against his chest but he holdstight. refusing to let go.
His dark eyes roam my face, yet his grip never changes. It seemed like forever before he spoke again. “Go on then, walk away.”
I couldn’t. I couldn’t move or maybe I didn’t want to.
“Not so easy, is it?”
He whispers in my ear.
“Promise me. Promiseyou will never lure a human to their death. Promisethat you will never feed on one again.
“You didn’t need to ask. But you have my word.”
He gently presses his lips to the corner of mine.
Closing my eyes, I bask in his scent, letting my theughts and questions of his past fade from my mind. Losing- myself inthe moment as his kiss deepens: His hands slide up thes back of my tee, his rough fingertips grazing my skin as he pullitffoossibly closer. He breaks away, but keeps his face inches from mine. “There is only one thing I’m hungry for, Raven.”

at all times.”
His teeth graze my skin as hemoves back towards my collarbone. “You want to claim me?”
I whisper back.
“I want you to be mine now and forever.”
His teeth sink into my flesh. A primalness takes over him and from his grip. I knew there would be En bruises forming along my torso. A hand leaves my back, locking into my dark hair as he pulls my head back further, allowing his teeth to sink even deeper. I wince at the pain, though it quickly subsides and is replaced with a longing. A longing for something more. It even takes over the pain that radiates through my leg
“You want more?”
