DamienShe was a pretty little thing. I thought that the moment I first laid my eyes on her. My mate. A Wolf. Though she didn’t deserve someone like me.I watch her move around the Alpha. She is quick and thinks on her feet.Her dark hair is loosely pulled back into a hair bobble with a few escaped hairs at the top of her neck. As her dark eyes catch mine, I notice a fleck of light brown just under her left pupil. She quickly looks away, returning all her attention to the Alpha, smiling as the heartbeats fill the room.Her happiness makes her scent of strawberries explode and for a brief second, I wondered if she would taste of them too.I barely notice Dane pushing past me. I just watch her lips move as she scolds them both.When the all clear is given, I finally ask the question that had been playing on my mind since I first scented Neah’s pregnancy.Raven shoots daggers at me, like I had asked the worst question in the world. She gives me a short and sharp “No!”Dane’s strange red eyes find mine and I remember what he told me earlier. Raven isn’t a fan of us. Maybe she hated the idea of being mated to me.I step outside the room, leaving the three of them alone. Though I don’t leave completely, standing guard over her room instead. I will protect the Alpha even if she doesn’t want me too.Dane steps out, closing the door to the room. “The question you asked, it’s been asked multiple times by the asshole in my dungeon. That’s why she is so short with you.””Sorry.” I wasn’t the type of person to apologise, but he had to know it was a genuine curiosity, nothing more. In theory, if I don’t reject Raven, they become my nephews too. They become my family.”The guy in the dungeon, he’s the one who wants the pups?” I askHe nods his head at me. “He was also the one who had Jess removed from the house. It was his brother that you left for the Rogues.””Right.””Thanks for convincing her to be checked out.” Dane mutters. “Just give my sister time, she was rejected by her first mate.””You know?” I ask surprised. My intention was to keep it quiet, at least until I had figured out if we were compatible.”She’s my sister, of course I know.” He slaps me on the back. “Like I said, give her time.”Her first mate was an idiot for rejecting her.He heads back in the room and Raven takes his place. She stares at me with those beautiful dark eyes and I can’t help but glance over the rest of her. The blue shirt she is wearing, hides her frame. Yet the skinny black jeans shows off her legs and ass. “You want to protect Neah?” She asks quietly””Yes.””Why?” She raises her brow at me and presses her lips together. “She has Dane. she has the entire pack.””She is our life line. The only pure blood left.” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.”Right.” Her brow creases as she folds her arms up over her chest. She sighs. “If you are going to reject me, can you get it over with? I have stuff to do.”I keep my mouth shut and just watch her. I could see the anger bubbling up in her eyes, the longer I didn’t speak, the more irritated she grew.”Fucking Lycans!” She growls and storms offWith a quick glance back at the Alpha, I follow Raven. She marches across the grounds and into the forest. Is that what they do here, they don’t tell anyone where they are going?Trekking after her, I keep my distance. She winds through the trees, dragging her hands across each trunk. It took me a minute to realise she is marking them with her scent in case anything happens. “He’s an asshole!” She speaks openly to herself.”No.” She muttersWho the hell was she talking to? There was no one here.She makes her way to a stream. Pulling her boots and socks off, she rolls up her jeans and wades into the water. Her eyes are glazed as she continues talking to herself. Mostly complaining about me.I listen to her one sided argument with amusement. She couldn’t be linking the Alpha. Only her mate and other Lycans could do that. Yet it sounded like it was someone who knew we were mated. So who was she talking to?With her eyes glazed over, she is oblivious to me watching her. Even when I step out from the trees in full view, she doesn’t notice me or the creature that is hunting her.I had been so concerned about making sure the Alpha was protected when Raven seemed like she needed it more.The crack of a twig draws her attention back. Her glazed eyes focus on me, but I hadn’t moved. I wasn’t the one responsible for the sound.”What do you want?!” She snaps at meI hold a hand up. Listening to the sounds of the forest. It takes me a second to hear the erratic heartbeat. Shit, it must have tracked me here.”Raven, get out of the water and move towards me.”She doesn’t move and glares at me”Raven. You need to move now!”She turns to look behind her. The leaves of the bushes start to move. Raven starts to back out of the stream in my direction.Spinning her around to look at me, I see the panic written on her face.”Run, find Dane.”She takes off running as the Rogue Lycan shows itself to us. It’s on all fours as it creeps forward. The Rogues had found it easier to move that way, Using four limbs to propel itself even faster.Drool hangs from its bared teeth. The snout is wrinkled up as it growls at me. Its claws pierce the dirt as it slowly makes its way to the stream.It sniffs the air “A whole place full of Wolves.”It was something I should have told Dane. Not only had they become feral to the point that they could no longer shift back, but they had learned to speak.”You are not welcome here.” I growl back. “You need to leave before you end up like the others!”It laughs at my words, yet it backs up into the bushes where it came from. The erratic heart fading until I could no longer hear it.”FUCK!”The surviving Rogue was the worst one of all. It had a hunger unlike the others. I had seen it make its food last for days on end. Enjoying the screams of its victims, torturing them as it ate a tiny piece at a time. But I was partly responsible for that. I brought them food when they couldn’t find any.I hear footsteps, quickly moving through the forest. I smell Raven but she is accompanied by others. Dane appears first, closely followed by a couple of other men and Raven.Her dark eyes scan me, like she is checking me for wounds.”Where is it?” Dane demands.”It backed off.” I mutter.”You brought it here? It followed you?” Dane presses”Apparently.””Why didn’t you kill it?” A man with long dark hair asks meI sigh, only Mallory knew the truth but I had to tell them “He was my younger brother.”
