Chapter 177

Damien I would usually have been impressed by Neah’s kill if I wasn’t so worried.

Mallory nudges me, giving me the same look of concern. I knew what was going through her head and I slowly shook my own. We would need to be really careful.

Raven keeps her head buried against by chest, grossed out by how Neah had killed Roan. Neah had made him suffer over and over until she decided enough was enough. Or rather, she was done playing with her prey.

“Raven, go with Mallory, I need to speak to Dane.” Her dark eyes peer up at me. “Why, what’s wrong?”

“I just need to confirm a few things, that’s all.” I reassure her, hoping it would be enough information to keep her from pushing. It wasn’t that I wanted to keep secrets, but Dane was Neah’s mate, he should hear the information from me first.

“Come.” Mallory smiles at her. “You are mated to my best friend, we should get to know each other.”

Dane is looking at me suspiciously but Raven follows Mallory anyway. A few moments pass and he orders Eric and Klaus to go with them. just in case Salem was about. Salem wouldn’t show himself yet, whatever he was planning, he was dragging it out, much like how Neah had killed Roan. I wonder if she knew she had spent hours torturing him.

“What?” He snaps when the dungeon door is closed and it was just us and a dismembered Roan. “There was something you told me about her Lycan being a separate spirit. “And? I know I said you could kill Roan, is that what this is about?”

“No. It’s just. since I have been here, I have come to understand that when her Lycan is pushing forward her eyes are dark, almost black. It’s her Lycan that helps her find the courage to kill.

“Yes.”

“They weren’t black, Dane. They were her usual blue colour. She had no help from her Lycan. She wanted to kill. She wanted to torture him. His strange crimson eyes lock with mine. “She has a lot of deep seeded anger. And it’s not like any of us are angels. Not from what she told me.” I nod, half a smirk creeping across my lips. “She told you about my past.

He continues to stare back at me and I could see why so many were put off by him, but he didn’t scare me. I had dealt with much worse.

“We all have a past Dane. Every single one of us, but I’m talking about the present. The one where you are at risk of losing your mate.

He slams me up against the wall. his arm pressing against my chest as he tries to hold me in place. “I suggest you take that back.”

‘I won’t ever laya finger on her.” shove him back and straighten out my shirt. “made apromiseto = => protect tier. I am telling you that you need to stop her from killing anyone elsesNow matter how much you agrée with it.”

“I’m not going to stop her from wanting to put things right. It’s her right to hurt those who have hurt her.

“Then listen to me, Dane, because you will lose her and it won’t be to death.”

His brows fuse as he glares at me.

He shakes his head. “You are wrong.” “Mallory saw it too.

“She was just getting revenge for Jess.” He defends Neah, but I hear the scepticism that he tries to hide in his tone. Deep down he could see it too.

“Think about it, Dane. You grew up knowing how-te punish people. Making thet pay for their sins. Most Rogues didn’t. The ability to kill with ease became anew adventure and I see that I in Neah. You said it o yourself. For the best part of’sixteen years she was a Slave. Her abilities wére bound. Her true lifewas kept from her. And she has gained everything back in less than a year.”
