Neah”Where did he take her?” I demand as I step out through the back door into the pitch black of night. I had no idea what time it was, but the adrenaline was pumping through me anyway. Several guards move closer, yet keep their attention on the surrounding area. “I don’t know.” Dane mutters back, grabbing my wrist to stop me. “Just let him be, there is nothing you can do.””Maybe I can save her….””Neah she isn’t dying, she isn’t hanging on to life by a strand. She is dead. Salem tore her heart out.”My heart plummets. A part of me had hoped he was wrong, that Jenson had taken Jess to find a way to help her. “He took…. He took her heart?””Among slicing her up pretty bad.”I feel Nyx’s sorrow along with my own. Jess was just a kid. She was family. She was like me. She had helped me see what I could do.”Why?” A single tear rolls down my cheek. I don’t even try to fight the flood that’s about to come. I’m so angry. “Why would he do that to her?””I don’t know. I thought his end game was to get at Damien, but he has nothing to do with Jess.””You said she let him out.””According to Roan.”‘We can speak to him!’ Nyx murmurs. ‘We need to know why Jess was down there!’I nod my head in agreement and repeat the words to Dane.”No. I need you to stay in the house.” He tries to tug me back through the door. I slap his hand away. “Neah, we don’t know where he is. We don’t know if his plan is to come after you next or Damien, even Raven.””Or Mallory.” I mutter, watching her stumble forward, towards us. Her arms cling against her stomach. Blood profusely spilling over. She can’t walk in a straight line either, almost like she is drunk.

Lifting her from the ground.”It’s Salem.” I hear her mutter.As Dane brings her closer, I see her dirty blonde hair is stained with blood and parts of her intestines hang from her body. My stomach back flips as I fight the urge to gag. Apparently I could handle holding a heart but intestines were just too much. Dane brings her inside. His eyes glaze over as he drops her onto the table.I just stand there, watching. She was probably on the verge of death and not a single bit of me cared. She should have died instead of Jess.”Let me see.” I hear Dane tell her.She removes her arms and if she was upright, all the organs of her abdomen would have fallen out.Raven comes crashing in through the kitchen door, almost tripping over her own crutches. Her dark hair is stuck out everywhere and I see a mark similar to mine on her neck, just peeking out of the tee. She had finally let him claim her. Damien is right behind her. He grabs Mallory’s hand, holding it against his own chest. “Hold on. Just hold on.” His dark eyes flicker to me. “Don’t let her die. She doesn’t deserve this.”It took me far too long to realise that Raven was waiting for me to say something. To give her the go ahead to save another Lycan because technically, Dane wasn’t their leader. I was. But was I cruel enough to say no after what she did to me? Was I cruel enough to let her suffer a long and painful death?Nyx was oddly quiet too.”Save her.” Dane mutters before I get a chance to make my decision. “Neah is my mate, we both lead this pack and she is my guest. Save her, Raven.””I need stuff from the hospital.” Raven mutters as she inspects Mallory’s open wound.
