‘See, lying.’ Nyx presses’If you don’t stop nagging me, I will find a way to block you!’ I snap back at my Lycan”Can you get Dane and Abraxas?” I ask Mallory.”Sure.”Maddie’s eyes widen a little and her heart starts to race all over again. “Are you going to let them shoot me?””Just need to check something.” I offer a smileShe sits in silence, fiddling with the ends of her hair as we wait.Dane is the first through the door, he walks around and presses his lips against my forehead. Maddies chestnut eyes follow the movement and I see a tiny hint of a smile. “Where’s Abraxas?””He’s coming. He was cleaning up his mess.” Dane tells me.Maddie shudders and combs through her hair with her fingers. “He really is dead?””Yes. Are you okay?””It hurts, but that’s because he marked me, right?”I explain to Dane that this Enzo guy wasn’t actually her mate. That he was keeping her as his property. It made me so angry and I’m a little disappointed that she didn’t get to kill him. There wasn’t anything quite like watching the life drain from those you hate. Shaking my head, I close my eyes and focus on my sons as I push the dark thoughts away when I catch the scent of Abraxas.

He watched me alot.”You mean Eric and Klaus.” Dane reminds him of their names”Yes. They said they will let you know when more Lycans arrive.” His hazel eyes move to Maddie. “You’ve told Neah you can’t shift?”Her head snaps back over her shoulder to glare at him. “How did you know that?”Abraxas smiles. “I know a lot of things.” His hazel eyes move to me. “I believe you wanted to see me?””What else do you know?” I still wasn’t a hundred percent sure if I believed everything that he had said, but he did know an awful lot.He casts his eyes over her, “All good.””What’s happening?” Maddie asks, her voice going up a notch.”Can you shift?” I repeat, but keep my eyes on Abraxas.”No, I swear.”Abraxas yawns, “She’s telling the truth.””Are you some kind of psychic?” Maddie muttersAbraxas laughs. “No, I’m a Hunter.”
Maddie almost falls out of her seat as she tries to back away from him. “You lured us here to be killed by a Hunter?” She demands, edging behind the desk toward me.”You are right to fear me.” Abraxas tells her, “Though right now, you are of little interest to me.” He shoots her a wink.She turns to me. “I know you are the Alpha, but what the hell are you thinking?”Dane growls at her and I hold a hand up to him.”You know about Hunter’s?””Most Lycans do, so why is he here?””Abraxas wants Blair dead, as do I and several others.” I tell Maddie”Hunters kill our kind.” She splutters as her eyes dance between us. “You are making a mistake. He will turn on you.”Abraxas laughs again. “Don’t make me change my mind about you gingernut.””Brax!” Dane snaps at him”I will be outside unless you need me for anything else.””It’s fine.” I take a deep breath and watch Abraxas head out with a grin on his face. “Maddie, you don’t have to help us. You don’t even have to stay here. But if you want to, you are more than welcome.” I had already decided that I wasn’t going to force any of them to help. Something Dane and I massively disagreed on.For so long, I had hoped for Lycans to die out, especially when I was told that they are a dying breed and then I got pregnant, with my own Lycan sons.

She probably didn’t have anywhere to go, especially if she had been passed around and sold.”Abraxas did want me to give you this.” Dane mutters, dropping a wallet on the desk. “He took it from Enzo before he threw his body in the fire. After all the stuff you’ve been through, he thinks it’s only fair for you to have access to Enzo’s money.””Why would he do that?” She asks as her brows shoot up. “He’s a Hunter. I’m a Lycan. He kills our kind. Is it some kind of trick?””No one really knows how his mind works.” Mallory mutters”I shouldn’t take it, should I?” Maddie asks quietly.”Yes, you should. I think you should think of it as payment for what he did to you. Compensation!” Mallory mutters happily Maddie slowly picks up the wallet. “He has millions.””I will get Klaus to set you up your own account and move the money across.” Dane smiles at her. “Welcome to Black shadow.”
