Chapter 165
“The point of this conversation was to decide my brother’s fate. Correct?” Damien mutters. “Well that has been decided. So are we done?” “Yes.” Eric retorts
“Good. If you will excuse me. I have things to do.
Damien walks around the table and picks up my crutches. Holding them out to me, he doesn’t speak. he just waits.
Slowly getting to my feet, I take them from him. With the smallest of head movements, he gestures to the door.
He walks ahead of me, slowing his pace and allowing time for me to catch up. “Where are we going?”
“Somewhere where it is just you and me.” His voice is low and full of intent.
He leads me to the hospital. It wouldn’t exactly be the place I would have chosen, but at least we would be alone.
As we get close, I see his expression change. The lustful look in his eyes, long gone. “Stay here.
“Why? I thought
“The girl. She is in the hospital.
“Jess?” I call after him as he hurries on. Why would she be here? She hasn’t had any breakdowns since she first got here.
He pauses when he is standing outside the doors and glances back at me before disappearing inside. Seconds later, there is a gush of air almost knocking me over as my twin charges past me and into the hospital
Making my way over, I’m hit with the metallic smell of blood and my brother yelling at Damien. “What the fuck did you do to her?!” “She was already like this.
“Fucking liar. I told my brother we shouldn’t trust you.” Jenson is pointing a scalpel at Damien.
“Jenson, he was with me.” I shout
“Don’t stick up for the asshole just because he is your mate!”
“You can confirm it with Eric and Klaus. We were in a meeting, talking to Dane. We have literally just left the house.” I plead with him “Bullshit. We should have killed you along with your bitch.”
Dane hospital!’ I link my brother, hoping he would come quickly.
I step forward enough to see Jess around tke corner. Her body ~ sprawled out on the floor. There wasn ‘teven a chance of saving her, not awhen her heart had beer-vipped from her chest. –

Dane arrives with Klaus. I watch Dane’s eyes shift between all of us before landing on Jess. “Check the dungeon.” Damien mutters as he stays squared up to Jenson. “I smell him.” It’s impossible. He can’t escape
“lam telling you, Dane. He was here and if you tell your brother to stand down. I will be able to check the girl and tell you if it was him.”
“He’s lying He’s admitted it himself, he used t to be a Rogue. He’s fucking playing: us!” Jenson jabs the soalpel at Damien. Damien expertly moves out of the way.
”
“He will screw with everything and you are letting him get near Neah.”
I knew Jenson would be upset, probably-to the point he couldn’t= think straight. But what the fuck he thought he would achieve with a scalpel is beyond me. Especially when Damien could heal. Content bélongs to ~
“Go!” Dane snaps at Klaus. He turns to Jenson. “Let him look at her.
“You are on his side?” Jenson spits
“I am on the side of finding answers.” Dane is somehow calm as Jenson tries to take another swing at Damien
“Jenson stand down, that’s an order.”
He tosses the scalpel to the floor and backs up but keeps his eyes locked on my mate. “! will fucking kill you!
Damien ignores him as he carefully moves around Jess. He crouches and leans over her. Without touching her, he inhales the scents He frowns and shakes his head as he leans back on his heels, “I don’t understand.”
“What? What is it?” Dane demands
“I think he shifted.”
