Damien
Her floral scent is strong. Much stronger than Raven’s vanilla scent ever was. When I told Neah that Eris had a slight scent, I never explained that I knew it was the scent of my mate. Was I ready for another mate when I still couldn’t bring myself to easily talk about Raven?
*Are you going to say something?” She asks, staring at me with her golden eyes as she hastily ties her long obsidian hair into a low bun.
I turn to Neah, “We should take the body back to the pack.”
“You are just going to ignore me?” Eris scowls at me.
“I’m not ignoring you.” I frown.
*Is there someone else?” She presses
“Yes and she is dead!” I snap and she drops her gaze.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I… me and my big mouth.”
“I need time to process this. There’s a lot happening right now.”
“His heart is beating.” Neah mumbles before Eris is able to respond.
“What?” Neah’s hand is on his chest, but she takes a step back as his lungs expand.
“I broke his neck.” Klaus murmurs. “He has no abilities. He can’t survive that.”
“What do we do?” Samara asks
I move over to him, pulling my belt from my jeans. While Cooper is still out of it, I bind his hands, making sure he can’t move them.
“Cover his eyes.” Neah mutters, pulling off her sweatshirt.
I rip the sleeve off and tie it around his face. Pulling up his shirt, I frown, “His wounds have healed too.”
“What?” Neah leans over me to have a look. “How?”
“Is it possible that his own potions don’t work on him?” Eris asks. “Or maybe not completely work?”
“I don’t…” He starts moving, I look at everyone and put a finger to my lips. Cooper didn’t need to know what we were doing or where we were going.
“Klaus.” Cooper calls out. “I know you are still here. I can smell your delicious scent. I know you are frustrated but I can forgive you for what you just did to me. All you have to do is let me see those beautiful deep green eyes of yours.”
Neah shakes her head at Klaus, warning him not to speak or move. It was odd to see Klaus so angry. But he remains quiet. He knew it was some kind of trap.
A smile spreads across Cooper’s face. “Is the Alpha telling you to keep away? You know you don’t have to listen to her. She isn’t your Alpha.”
Klaus’s hands ball up and Samara puts her hand on his shoulder, shaking her head at him.
*Is someone going to say something?” Cooper presses. A level of irritation could be heard, though he was trying his very best to mask it.
Cooper starts laughing as we continue to be silent. The laugh was forced and his irritation was growing. “You can’t kill me, but you have figured that out now. I will continue to be your problem and you will never be able to stop it.”
Neah creeps up to him and leans down to his ear. “There is a way to kill everyone, but I want your death to be as slow and as painful as possible. Still being alive means I get what I want.”
“Have you learned nothing?” He seethes
Neah gestures to me to stand him up. “More than enough.” She tells him, “You keep telling me there’s always someone worse. Well I’m about to become your worst someone. You will have wished you had stayed dead just now.”
*Bring it on.”
Neah turns around and heads in the direction of the pack. Samara and Eris hurry past me and while Samara seems in a hurry to catch Neah, Eris’s golden eyes are full of wonder as they hover on me.
Klaus grabs Cooper’s left side as I hastily grab his right. We haul him to his feet. “You are making a mistake. Klaus, I can offer you so much more.”
Klaus breaks his silence. “No you can’t. If they don’t kill you, I will and I will be a damn site more thorough. You are right Cooper. Those initials on your chest are for me. My name is Klaus Daudet and I am a Witch Hunter.”
Cooper tenses up and tries to push all his weight in his feet to stop us dragging him forward. “It’s a trick.” He scoffs.
“No trick. You just didn’t do your research.”
“You are lying. You know I don’t like it when you lie.” Cooper growls. “I can smell your scent.”
“I’ve already killed you once. Why would I do that if we were mates?” Klaus challenges. I was really starting to see
a different side of Klaus. He has always been the voice of reason, but piss him off and it brings out a different side.
*I know you can smell me.” Cooper
“You are right, I can. At first I believed what you were saying was true until I spoke to another Hunter. What I was smelling is what tells me that I’m supposed to kill you. It was okay at first and then the more time we were together, it grew vile.”
