Chapter 0151


    Damien


    Repositioning myself in front of the bedroom door after checking on Neah, I see that Raven is long gone.


    I shouldn''t have kissed her. She may have tasted amazing. but I shouldn''t have let myself go like that. I couldn’t bring myself to reject her, not yet.


    Maybe I didn''t want to, not truly. Though she wille to hate me eventually.


    Mallory creeps up the stairs towards me. Her lips pressed into a thin line that gradually crept up into a smile as she makes her way towards me. “Do.


    you think she will speak to me if you are here?” She asks hopefully, ncing at the door.


    "Mallory, we have been over this."


    “Damien, I have to try."


    “Nothing has changed.” I mutter. I wanted Neah to listen to Mallory, but it had to be on her terms. I had already learned that about her. “And she is


    definitely not in the mood right now. If you go in there, she will probably kill you on the spot.”


    “Oh,” She leans against the wall next to me. “How am I supposed to get her to listen to me?


    “You don’t. You keep your head down. You do everything that is asked of you. You be respectful to everyone here. And then, just maybe, she will see


    that you are trying and be willing to speak to you, but for now, she is pregnant and if she feels a threat, it will be game over for you.”


    She sighs.


    “I have told you it won''t be easy. I thought you had trust issues, but the Alphas ability to trust is on a whole different level.”


    She frowns at me. “She trusts you.”


    “No she doesn''t.


    “Then why are you guarding her?


    “To show her that I mean what I say.


    Mallory rolls her eyes at me. We both had a very different belief system. She expected everyone to ept her as she is. Whereas I had always had


    to work for it. Human or not.


    “You know as well as I do that her abuse didn’t end after you almost killed her.” I add


    “Right.” Maltory bobs her head at


    me. "I stiltean''t believe you told the


    others the truth about him being”


    your I brother.” She changes the


    subject because it was still ard for


    heeto talk so openly about.Her past.

    “But you wouldn''t have told them if he had never shown up here, would you? And you haven''t tald them everything. You won''t be able to keep that a


    secret forever. They will figure it out!


    She knew me too well. But I also knew she wouldn''t b.


    I hadn''t liked Mallory when I first met


    her. But wher there are just two of


    you that a egoing through the same


    shit, it was pretty hard to not formsa


    bond and now, I couldn''t imagine’a


    worldywithout her. She had helped


    methrough some of the worst shit


    isamy life and had done mere than


    her fair share with the other Rogues.


    She gives me a sad smile. “You have slotted right in here. Who would have thought you would like pack life?”


    “You just need time. Isn''t that what you first told me when I found you?


    Mallory bobs her head. “True.”


    “Go back to the house. There’s no point in you standing here with me.”


    I will see youter?” She asks


    “Sure.”


    "At least you and Jess like me.” she mutters as she turns away.


    I watch Mallory hurry back down the


    stairs, until ofice again I am alone.


    My thoughts ‘drift to Raven and how


    she hada''tbacked away from mess


    Nota single ounce of fear in hers”


    eyes Anger and annoyance, yes. But


    nofear, even when I pushedher up


    against the wall. Almost as if she


    were expecting it. Content belongs
