Chapter 0244
“She’s giving me a chance to prove myself.” I shrug my shoulders. “It’s all I can ask for.”
Damien and Dorothy stay for a little while. It was funny to see how far he hade from the beast I
had first met. Never in a million years did I think we would end up in a life like this. And there was no
way I was losing it, not now she was giving me a chance.
I wait until after dark before slipping out. Climbing up into the trees of the forest without being seen.
Up high, it was easy enough to move from branch to branch all the way to the edge of the pack.
There were some guards on duty, but the second their backs were turned as they looked for me and
my scent. I jump and run. The sooner I got information for Neah, the better. But I was doing this the
old way. No tech. I needed to witness things with my own eyes.
Breaking into a parked car was children’s work. It was an older red nissan. It didn’t really draw the
eye because it wasn’t fancy and that was exactly what I needed.
I head towards the city. That was where Damien hadst seen her. Though, she was probably smart
enough to know that staying in one ce won’t do her any favours. Yet from what she was wearing,
it wasn’t like she was hiding in a cave or a run down building. She had somewhere she called
home. Somewhere to fix her makeup and store her overly expensive clothes.
I was just about to head back to ck Shadow when I see her car poking out from behind some
bins. They had tried concealing it on a drive next to a quaint house.
Quietly moving around the bins, I check the te. This was definitely it and for now, it was all I
needed.
I turn and head back up the street towards the stolen car when I catch a whiff of a familiar scent.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
Jenson steps out of the shadows by the parked car. His arms folded across his wide chest. A crisp
ck suit covered his frame. Something I never expected him to wear.
“Mallory.” My name leaves his tongue like a poison as he rolls thest few letters of my name.
“What are you up to, Mallory?”
My eyes narrow and he starts tutting at me with tiny head shakes as he steps closer, towering over
me. Though I could make him look like a child if I shifted.
“I see she has you wrapped around her manicured fingers.”
“Why are you here, Mallory? Did lover boy send you?” He chuckles to himself at the sadment.
Some things never change.
When had he turned so dark? Damien was right about one thing, Jenson would have fit in perfectly
with the Rogues. Maybe that''s what ir saw in him.
“I came alone.” I had no idea if he had linked her yet. My best bet was to keep him talking. “I was
curious.”
“About?”
“ir. She looks just like Neah, are they twins?” I lie. He had seen how short tempered Neah was
with me. Even the other day when ir had turned up and he had been in the car., he could see
Neah looked pissed with me.
“It’s none of your business.” He curls a lip in annoyance that I had even asked
“You are right. It’s my downfall. Curiosity has always gotten the better of me.” I keep lying. I could lie
to anyone as long as it isn’t my Alpha.
He presses his lips into a thin line and nces at the old red car.
“I stole it.” I blurt out. “Dane would never let me bring a car out to look for you.”
He nods. He seemed to actually believe me.
“You were stupid toe alone, Mallory.”
“It’s not like I have anyone on my side anymore.” I shrug my shoulders. “Damien has Raven. The
pack hates me. I wanted to find somewhere I would feel wee." Every lie feels like fire burning
my insides.
“Then why did you stop ir?”
“I was still trying to help. I’ve spent so long trying to help, but it''s time to give up.” I drop my
shoulders, trying to look defeated. “Is Mallory here?”
“She’s working.”
“Oh.” I dete even more. Trying to keep the look of surprise buried. What work did she do and why
was her car still here?
“Get in the car and go home.”
“It’s not my home.” I mutter. “But I will go.”
He watches me slide into the car and start the engine. Only backing onto the pavement when I start
to move. I had got what I needed for now.
