Chapter 0183


    Raven


    Who do you think it is?" Midnight mutters as we follow Neah out of Mallory’s room. She was all hyped up after learning that one of the strategies to


    help Neah would be sex. She was desperate to know who Damien had been sleeping with while he was going through it and her jealousy was


    starting to rub off on me.


    We should go back and demand the information!” She sulks


    Neah is more important.” I mutter, though I wanted to know the answer toc. They were in the middle of nowhere. There was a female Rogue and


    Mallory. It couldn''t have been the Rogue. Did that mean he sleeping with his best friend?


    No. No. That was all before me. I can''t be jealous of his past.


    Raven.’ Danes voice interrupts my thoughts. ‘Keep Neah upstairs.’


    What''s going on?" I link him back.


    I will exinter. For now, Neah doesn''t need to see this.’N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    Neah was already at the top of the stairs when I stopped her. "Hey, can youe and help me with something?”


    "Raven, I''m starving.” She mutters with a groan. “And if I''m to get through this, I at least need to keep these two happy.” She rubs her stomach.


    “Then you are in luck. I have some candy bars in my room and it won''t take long.”


    Her shoulders drop as she sighs. Thankfully she turns back and follows me to my room. “What do you need help with?


    “l...." shit I hadn''t actually thought of anything


    Ask her to look at your wound to make sure it''s not infected. You can''t see the back of your leg.” Midnight mutters in a hurry.


    I repeat Midnight''s words to Neah, she nods her head and follows me to my room


    My eves flicker to the window, half expecting to see another handprint, this time, there is nothing there. Being watched was something I had never


    really had to worry about until now. And it felt like no matter where I was, eyes were on me.


    It takes Neah less than a minute to inspect my leg. "I don’t really know what I''m looking for, but it doesn''t look any worse.” She drops down onto the


    edge of my bed. “You are hiding something from me. You could have had Damien lock at your leg and I know you could have seen your reflection in


    that massive mirror.


    My cheeks me and I quickly turn away. That mirror had seen a lot thest couple of days.


    “It''s because of this darkness in me, isn’t it?” She pauses. “Raven, just tell me, you know I hate secrets.”


    ‘I don''t know what it is. I just know Dane asked me to keep you upstairs.


    She immediately gets to her feet. Puffing out her cheeks.


    i


    Focus on what Mallory said. You


    need to keepbusy.” I pull out a


    handful of candy bars fromthe


    drawers@nd hand them to her. ‘Let


    them deal with it. Everyone hag your


    bestiiterests at heart. None of them


    are=doing this to intentionally keep


    sétrets from you.” Content belongs

    Something hits the window, making both of us scream. Blood is smeared as though something had just slid down the ss.


    "What was that?!” We both speak in unison and move to the window


    I pause when I see him. He was just as I remembered him and our eyes met moments before men started charging him. He disappears into the


    forest.


    "Was...was that him?" Neah whispers to me as Damien crashes into the room


    “In human form.” I feel a knot in my stomach.


    Damiens arms wrap around me. He pulls my back in firmly against his chest. A reminder that he was here. “They will get him. But I want to know why


    you are in just a tee and panties.”


    "He was out in the middle of the grounds, in broad daylight. He threw something at the window. I''m his target.” I mutter, feeling a rush of panic.


    "He won''t get to you.” Damien tells me. “I will kill him myself.


    "What did he throw at the window?” Neah asks. "I can’t quite see.”


    Damien pauses. “I think it''s best you speak to Dane about that.” He reaches forward and pulls the curtain closed.


    “Tell me!” Neah demands


    “Neah, he’s right, wait for Dane.”


    I see thest thing I want to see. Her


    eyes slowly darkening, until there is


    only a very faint ring of blue. What if


    Darien was right? What if this I is it?


    What if we had run out of time?


    ‘Damien, don''t.” I mutter, at the same time. I knew the next words out of Neah''s mouth would be an order. An order he couldn''t refuse.


    “Tell...”


    “Dane’sing.” Damien interrupts her. “He will give you all your answers, probably more than what I can give you right now.”


    She stares at him and very, very slowly, the ck in her eyes retreat. Thank the Goddess for that.


    “


    eah?” Danes.softly spoken voice


    ills the roof; He only ever spoke to


    her like that: Sometimes it seemed


    like he was almost afraid of breaking


    her orTnaybe he knew ! wouldhelp


    reasan with her more. I just knew he


    never spoke to the rest us in that


    way.


    pumpl


    Her eyes sh to him. And for a brief moment, I expected the darkness to return.


    She''s scary when she is like that.” Midnight murmurs. I agreed and sometimes, it almost felt like I barely knew her.
