Chapter 0260
“How do you feel about that?” She wouldn’t be the first to be marked against her will.
Mallory shrugs her shoulders. “We are working on it. Anyway, I know I have no ce to say this.
Can you just hold off from killing Jenson for a little while, just let me puzzle things together first. If I
can’te up with anything, then you can do what you want.”
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
“You are right, you don’t.” Truthfully, I didn’t want to kill him either. “Forty Eight Hours Mallory.”
Forty eight hours.” She repeats and turns to the door.
“Say hello to Eric for me.”
She spins around wide eyed, staring at me. “I didn’t say anything.”
“You don’t need to, Mallory. He was supposed to be in the party to rescue you. Turns out he had
already left the pack. I’m just grateful he wasn’t out buying more alcohol.”
“I said I wouldn’t say anything.” She splutters
“And you haven’t. Just answer me this, is he still drinking?”
She shakes her head at me.
“Good. Forty eight hours.” I mutter and she hurries from the office.
I sigh, spinning my chair until I’m facing the window. How had ite to this with Jenson? My father
would be livid if he was here. I felt this overwhelming sense of failure when it came to my brother.
Like I had failed him and my parents.
Jenson and Raven had been raised in exactly the same way. When they were children, they had
rules to follow, just like everyone else. Where Raven stuck to the rules, he never did. Time and time
again he would cause problems. This time, this time he had really fucked up and he might have just
cost me my family.
Neah slips into my office. Her scent quickly reced the others. She’s quiet too. Waiting for me or
maybe it was because she could feel my anger.
“You were listening?”
“I was sat on the stairs. Damien and Raven are arguing. Mallory has just run out the door, I don’t
think she even realised I was there.” She pauses and even her heartbeat is quiet. “Forty eight hours
isn’t that long, Dane. You gave me longer.”
“You were scared shitless. You needed time to adjust when I brought you here and you weren''t
nning on killing us.”
She moves in front of me, blocking my view of the window and sits on myp. Her arms slipping
around my waist as she rests her head against my chest. “You know your brother better than
anyone. He has helped you get through wars, helped you build your contracts. Mallory said
something isn’t adding up. Did he really give you nothing when you were interrogating him?”
“The only thing he madements on, was me bringing the Lycans here. I can’t even force an
answer from him because I am no longer his Alpha. I will give Mallory the agreed forty eight hours.
Then I will make a final decision.”
Her head bobs up and down, “And if ir turns up?”
“ir can be killed. To be honest, I’m surprised she hasn’t turned up yet. It’s already been a couple
of days and there have been no reports from the guards.”
“What’s that saying Raven uses? No news is good news.”
“In most cases, yes.” I muse, “But when we are waiting for her to show up, it’s the furthest thing
from good. Where are the boys?”
“Sleeping. If you hadn’t noticed," She points to the dark sky, "it’ste.”
“Will you stay here for me? I need to ask my brother a few more questions.”
She nods and slides off myp, staying in the office as I make my way back to the dungeon.
Jenson is in Wolf form. Laid on his side while his lungs struggle to inte. It looks like Mallory is
right, he is trying to kill his Wolf spirit.
“Look at me.” I demand. But he stayspletely still.
“Look at me Jenson!”
His body starts to shift to human form. It’s slow and painful to watch, like it is using everyst bit of
energy to make it happen. He lets out a bloodcurdling scream as his back snaps back in position.
He stays on the floor. Panting and screaming with each bone break.
I had hurt a lot of people. Some of my punishments were beyond cruel, but this was horrendous and
it isn’t even my doing.
“She’sing.” He mutters and passes out.
