Chapter 265

Mallory

His hazel eyes narrow. He knew who I was talking about. Still, he doesn’t lower the gun.

“That bitch still alive?” He growls through clenched teeth

“Yes. Hopefully for not much longer.” I give him a small smile, hoping that I had found a way to break the tension. He doesn’t return it. “We are looking for help.”

“Is she telling the truth?” He asks Klaus and Eric.

“Blair is why we are here.” Eric tells him, “Now lower the fucking gun.”

“Nah, you bastards are on my property, I can do what I want. If you don’t want a bullet lodged in her pretty little head, you lot better start talking.”

“Here?” Klaus asks, “We will attract the humans’ attention.”

“Look around you! It’s the middle of the fucking night. There are no other houses back here, why do you think I lured you around here, dumbass?!” Now he smiles. “Fucking pack idiots.” He spits on the ground.

They tell him everything, well, almost everything. Every now and again I would feel the gun ease off my forehead only to be shoved right back against my skin. I could heal, but it still hurt.

I keep perfectly still, I don’t need to give another reason for him to fire that thing off.

“You expect me to believe all that?” Abraxas growls, still keeping his eyes on me.

“Little far fetched to be a lie, don’t you think?” I mutter

“I’ve met a few good liars. That bitch is one of them.”

“Blair?” What did she lie to him about?

“That’s the one.”

“Can we just talk about this?” Klaus asks. “Wolf to Wolf?”

“You’ve got more to say?” He seems amused.

“So much more.” Klaus mutters “If you are willing to listen.”

Abraxas grabs my wrist and spins me around, locking his arm across the top of my chest as he backs us up, he tells them “You’ve got five minutes.”

Eric’s face is unreadable as he and Klaus follow us. Abraxas pulls me into a darkly lit kitchen. Black and white tiles covered the floor in stripes. Black cupboards lined the walls with black marble countertops sitting on top. Nothing how I expected it to look considering the outside needed a little work. But I guess I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Or in this case, a house.

Eric and Klaus slip in, moving in opposite directions.

“You can split up or stay together, doesn’t matter. One wrong move, she’s dead. Now maybe someone should start trying to convince me that I should let her live.”

“What do you want?” Klaus asks

“Blair.” Abraxas mutters.

“A lot of people want her. Both Alpha’s. Another Lycan. Her.” Eric points at me. “She’s caused problems and you will have to get in line.”

“I’m pretty certain she fucked my life up first.” Abraxas snarls. “Take me to where I can find her and this one gets to live.”

This was not at all why we had come out here.

“What did she do to you?” I ask

“She killed my parents.”

“Why?”

“Because they were Hunters and they destroyed your kind.”

I had quietly literally walked into another hostage situation, only this one seems less like I will make it out alive.

“But there is something you haven’t told me. Why is there a Lycan Alpha in a pack with a Wolf Alpha?”

“They are mated.” Eric tells him and for a moment, I wondered if that was the worst thing he could say.”

Abraxas bursts into laughter. A deep belly laugh that echoes through the room. He pushes me away and Eric grabs me, pulling me in close, a protective arm going around me. Abraxas really was a nut job.

“You lot are fucking nuts!”

Really? He thinks we are the ones who have lost our marbles.

“You pack Wolves are so fucking predictable.” He points between the men, “I assume one of you is the Beta because the Alpha certainly ain’t here.”

Neither Klaus or Eric speak, I think they were just as confused as I was. Speaking of Klaus, he hadn’t said anything for a while.

“Anyone want a beer?” Abraxas asks, pulling open the fridge.

“Sorry, what is happening?” I was used to unpredictability, but I had gone from being held at gunpoint to being offered a beer, like it was a casual afternoon meet up. This guy had to be on something. “You just had a gun pointed at my head!”

“Precautions.” He straightens up, his muscles tensing. And I have to remind myself that we were here for a reason.

“A few things you should know about me, Lycan.” He flips the cap off his beer and takes a swig. “I know when I’m not being told everything. I know that she,” He points at me, “was Rogue at one point. I know exactly what a Rogue is, I’ve been hunting them for twenty years. You didn’t tell me much that I didn’t already know, and I’m one hundred percent certain there is still more to your story. So what’s the catch?”

“We are looking for Lycans. The female Lycan Alpha needs support.” Eric tells him

“So why doesn’t she just link them? She’s the last one, right? Pretty powerful? She can call them in.”

“Uh….”

“Like I said, I know my shit.”
