Chapter 329
“What are you talking about?” Dane frowns.
I don’t look at him but press a finger against my head. Hoping he understood that I wanted him inside my head to listen to my thought process. If I was right…. I didn’t want to be right.
Raven smiles at me. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Yes you do.”
Dane is staring at me now, like I have lost the plot. But stranger things had happened. And it was common knowledge that Raven and Jenson shared more than just a birthday. Abraxas had said they shared a piece of each other’s souls.
Abraxas also talked about how the darkness seeps in. It finds a spot and grows. What if that is possible between twins who share twin wolves? They did have a piece of each other in them.
“You moved them all in when I wasn’t paying attention.” Raven mutters. She stops struggling against Dane and Abraxas. “You moved more Lycans in when I wasn’t able to do anything to stop them.”
“What’s happening?” Damien asks. “Someone tell me what is happening!”
I watch Dane hold a hand up to him as I carry on questioning the person in front of me.
“Where’s Raven?” I demand and Damien stares at me in utter confusion.
“I knew you were smart Neah, the very first day that I laid eyes on you. You were peering out from around the corner at Moonshine. Barely” “Raven wasn’t at Moonshine.” Dane mutters.
“No, but Jenson was.” I stare at Raven’s face. She had made me feel at home here before Dane had. Her advice at the time was brutal, but I loved the honesty from her. Now, I didn’t even recognise the person standing in front of me.
How could someone’s soul be taken over by anothers?
My eyes burn as I try to hold back the tears. Was Raven even in there? She must be. Damien is still connected to her.
“How long?” I demand
Her lips curve up but she doesn’t answer. I grab her face. Claws inching out the tip of my fingers. She lets out a growl as they begin to pierce her cheek. “How fucking long?”
“Neah!”
I ignore Dane. I wanted answers and I wanted answers before anyone thinks of leaving this room.
Her dark eyes hover on mine. There is an emptiness to them like never before.
“It started in the hospital.” Her dark eyes move to Abraxas. “You told us about our souls. How a part of us lives within the other. I heard you and wondered if becoming my sister would work and look, it did.”
Blood spills from her cheeks, but I keep my claws steady. No more could come out or I will kill her… him…them, I don’t even know what to call it. “Where is Raven?” I demand
“Almost gone.”
“This is impossible.” Damien mutters. “You can’t take over someone else’s soul! Raven, come on, this is just because you are upset about Jenson. We know you are grieving.”
“You’re right, am grieving. I am
grieving over how pathetic this pack has become. Full of fucking Lycans in every direction I turn. One as the Luna, one as the Beta. What’s Next, oh that’s right, the heirs of the pack are Lycans too.”
My claws grow a little more, settling deep into the skin. “You were sleeping with one.”
“I wanted to see what it was like to fuck you. To see what it was like with you underneath me, moaning my name. I didn’t see Blair, all I saw is you Neah Kitson.”
My stomach ties itself up in knots, disgusted by Jenson. I knew he had gone to her because she looked like me. I knew he was trying to get something that wasn’t his, just like he had done with others.
‘I’m going to kill him!’ Nyx growls.
‘No. Not yet.’
I keep my claws locked in place, more blood leaks out as I bring my face in really close. That was the thing about Raven and Jenson, they looked so similar that when you are close enough, you can forget everything but the face right in front of you. I wanted to see him as I say my next line.
“But you will never have the real thing.”
Letting go, I watch the blood spurt from the wounds. They healed quickly as my claws retreated
“Bitch!”
A gun goes off, almost deafening me. As Raven’s body hits the floor, I turn expecting to see Abraxas pointing it at her, but it’s Damien.
