Chapter 0264


    “He’s working, but he will be back soon.” Dane smiles at her and steals a piece of her popcorn


    “Because he is an important man?” Dorothy asks with a pout.


    “He is. And when you are older, you will understand why?”


    “Okay.” She climbs up into the window and presses her face to the ss trying to look for Damien.


    Frowning when she can’t see him.


    “Mallory, will you stay here with the kids while I speak to my mate.” Dane asks


    “Yes of course, I love kids.”


    I cringe when she calls herself Auntie Mallory and tells them she will be staying a little longer, but I


    don’t have time to correct her as Dane is pulling me out the room.


    “I know you don’t like it, but I think she is on to something. I also know it’s bringing up shitty


    memories, but it will be a fast and quick way to weed out the bad. To find out who is really on your


    side.”


    “I won’t be able to do it.” Even talking of killing so many was making me fidgety. I needed to find a


    way to get rid of this darkness. I can’t live like this, constantly worried that it’s going to rear its ugly


    head.


    “You can’t grow it anyway. Well, at least I don’t think you can. It needs wolf blood.”


    He starts making a n. Talking about growing it in a safe ce where no children had ess to it.


    A part of me hated it, but something deep inside me bubbles with joy at the thought of killing more


    people. I hated the looming darkness.


    While Dane is checking in on Jenson, Mallory sits on the floor opposite me. We had been talking


    through mind link and each time seemed to get clearer and stronger.


    ''Tell me how you linked them all before?'' She asks, her high pitched voice echoing in my head


    ''I’m not sure. I was hiding with Jess. She made me feel like I could do it and it just happened.''


    ''No, there’s more to it than that. To be able to link that many at once, you need power, strength.


    Something you already have. But for some reason, it’s stopping you now.''


    ''I guess I wanted to protect the ones I care about. Jess was like a little sister. We were finding our


    way together. She was newly bitten, I was newly unbound. But I didn’t have this darkness. And the


    twins help my head stay clear.”


    “I’m not saying you need to shift. You epted your position right? Well now it’s time to truly believe


    in it. Believe that you are a fucking strong female Alpha. You have been bound four times and


    survived. That in itself shows that you are more than just any Alpha. So tap into it!”


    “Stop telling me what to do! Stop talking. I need to think!” The wordse out in a really strange


    tone. A voice that isn''t Nyx.


    Mallory stares at me with wide brown eyes, patting her throat. “What’s wrong? Are you having


    trouble breathing?” I panic as she continues to point at me and then point at her throat. Her mouth


    moves but no soundes out.

    There are footsteps hurrying this way. Thest person I expected to see was Eric. “You’ve ordered


    her to stop talking.” He tells me


    “What? No I didn’t. And how would you know that, you weren’t even here?”


    “She linked me.”


    “I don’t know how I did it. How did she link you? She’s a Lycan. Hold on, you’re her mate?”


    “Yes,” he flips his head to Mallory and then back to me. Frowning, “Mal said it happens when you


    are flustered.”


    “You were flustered about keeping Jess safe.” I know he is just repeating her words, but it’s weird.


    “You were flustered with her working you out. You’re flustered with making decisions.”


    “So how am I supposed to undo it?” Dane needed to exin a bit more about the Alpha order.


    “Just tell her she can talk.”


    “Just like that?”


    “Just like that.” He winks at me. I had missed Eric, he wasn’t the same man when he drank.


    “You can talk.” I mutter to Mallory.


    “And I have just cracked your problem.” She smiles at me
