When Neah shouts, Damien pulls away. Forgetting me like nothing had just happened.My heart is pounding in my chest as he enters her room, leaving me semi aroused in the fucking hallway, with the taste of his lips on mine. ‘What the fuck was that?’ Midnight gasps in annoyance.’I have to get out of here!’Slowly, I back away, reaching the stairs. Tears creep in at the corner of my eyes.”No, not happening.” I mutter to myself as I run down the length of the stairs, wiping my eyes. I’m not a crier and I was not about to start now.Hurrying across the grounds, I enter the hospital. It was my safe place. The only place where I had control. Where everyone in the pack relied on me. Sinking down behind the station. I sit quietly, letting Midnight calm me. Why had I let myself get sucked into it? Why had I let the bond cloud my judgement? ‘We can’t help it.’ Midnight whispers. ‘He brings out feelings that we haven’t felt in a long time.”He’s not Salem.”No he’s not. Salem did us dirty.’ I hear her annoyance, though she will never admit it.Frustrated, my hand slaps against the tiled floor.”Angry?” A low voice comes from the other side of the station making me freeze. I thought I was alone.I couldn’t smell anything. I couldn’t smell another Wolf. That could only mean one thing.’Dane.’ I link my brother. ‘It’s here. It’s in my hospital.”What are you talking about?”The Rogue.’ I whimper’We are coming!'”I would rather you come out.” The low voice rumbles. “I just want to talk.” The beast speaks’We should shift.’ Midnight mutters’No, it will attack.’Slowly, and keeping my back to it, I get to my feet. I had no weapons or anything nearby that could be used to do some harm.Turning, my breath hitches in my throat. I didn’t get a good look at it in the forest but what I see in front of me is so much worse than the Lycans we fought. Damien was right, they are monsters.It holds its gaze with me. Its nostrils flaring as it tilts its large head to one side. Dried blood coated its sharp teeth and snout. Did it kill someone to get in here?”You smell of the traitor.” It growlsI stare back, refusing to blink in case it moves. A part of me had thought Damien was lying when he said they could speak.”How…how did you get in here?” I always locked up when I left”Is that what you will worry about when you are dying Raven?””You know my name?” I squeak. My eyes flicker to the door, where was Dane? Or anyone?”Who are you looking for?” It sounds like it’s trying to laugh. “Your new mate? Maybe your big brother? Or perhaps even the female Alpha? None of them can save you, Raven.”‘Keep him talking.’ Midnight mutters. ‘Buy yourself some time.'”You’ve been watching me?” I follow Midnight’s instructions, maybe then I would stand a chance.”You can call it that if that makes you feel comfortable.”It hadn’t moved an inch since I had been talking to it. Was it trying to freak me out?”Your eyes keep darting to the door. I assume you have linked one of them.” It rises up on its hind legs. “So now it is time for us to leave.”It jumps over the counter at me, its clawed hands locking around me before I have a chance to do anything. It holds something over my mouth. No matter how hard I fight, the more I breathe in whats over my mouth, the more I feel my body getting weaker and weaker. My arms and legs grow heavy and are barely able to move.It wasn’t like fighting one of the bitten where their goal was just to kill in the sloppiest way. This one seemed to know exactly what I was going to try, like they knew me.I couldn’t fight any longer and my head falls back against a solid chest.
