Chapter 464

Klaus

“Useless!” Samara scoffs from the ground. “I’m not useless!”

“I thought this was what you wanted.” I keep my tone even. “I thought you wanted her back.”

“I wanted you more.” Cooper turns away and walks inside. Helping Samara to her feet, we follow him in.

“You weren’t even going to bother, were you?” Samara demands, “You were just going to leave me there like some fucking rabid dog!”

*You served your purpose, I’m moving on to better things.” He sits on the sofa, unphased by our presence

“What does that mean?” I ask before Samara says anything else.

“Time will tell.”

*Just for once in your life, say exactly what you mean” I snap. “You know I don’t like it when you use riddles and skirt the meaning.”

He glares at his sister, “She is of no help to me anymore. So I replaced her with someone that is willing to do the job.”

“Who?”

He smiles at me and his sage green eyes light up.

“If you are trying to say that it is me, you are wrong. I’m not ripping apart a pack for you.”I tell him. “I’m not destroying the best thing I have ever known.”

*Calm down. You Klaus, would never do something like that. That is why it isn’t you.”

*Then who?”

“He’s already blown up the packhouse.” He speaks with a smile, “Tell me, who was injured. Your beloved Alpha? His son’s? Or the female Alpha? I’ve been waiting for news since I saw the smoke.”

*You were nearby when it happened?” I ask

*One of many places that I have visited recently.” He runs a hand through his blonde hair, brushing it back out of his face.

If he had been nearby, even projected himself, why hadn’t he met Kade like he promised?

“Why are you doing this?” Samara asks

“Because little sister, there are so many people who think they know better.”

I snort. It was the same conversation he had tried to push on me. He was utterly delusional.

*So who was killed or injured? Please tell me.” He waits expectantly

*No one.”

“What do you mean?”

*The house was empty Cooper. Not a single soul was inside. All you created was strength as the pack rallied around to put out the fire.”

“He told me…”

*You mean a kid lied to you?” I knew Neah didn’t want us discussing Kade but Cooper had already brought it up. *Fucking little brat. Just when I thought I could get through to another child.”

“Another child?”

“Me.” Samara whispers. “He is talking about me. After clad died, I was the first.” Her head snaps up to him and I see pure rage. “You weakened me. You told me stories that made me believe that you were doing the right thing.”

“And you were dumb enough to believe it!” He tells her

“What you have been doing is wrong! None of us deserved it. None of us. Do you even understand that? You made me believe the Moon Goddess put you here for a reason. You said all those people were being punished by her. That you were just the messenger. Is that what you told the boy?”

He opens his mouth to retaliate. But Samara carries on ranting at him.

*You are worse than evil. You deserve to lose everything. You took away people’s abilities. You took away mine, promising me that it was the best way to keep me safe” She shakes her head. “You made me believe I was doing the right thing. You shielded me from who I am. I lost my friend because of you. I lost everything because of you.”

She lunges forward and grabs hold of him, ripping him out of the sofa. His eyes are wide at the unexpected move. He wrestles her and fights for dominance as she pins him to the floor. Locking her hands on the shoulders of his jacket, she repeatedly smashes his head against the carpet while screaming at him.

I catch sight of how black her eyes are. They are just like Neahs when her Lycan is pushing through. But I don’t do anything. I stand there and let it happen. Because Samara is right, this is the least he deserves.

“Get off of me you stupid bitch.” Cooper swings an arm, all it hits is air.

A growl rips from Samara and she starts shifting. Her weight easily holds him down as the ripped fabric of her clothes falls to the floor to reveal her overly large Lycan and still I don’t do anything. Her attack grows more violent, slicing him with her claws. Biting into his skin as he fights back, but nothing is deep enough to kill him. Like she is purposely holding back.
