Chapter 0275
Damien
“I don’t like him. He is fucking shifty. He ims to know stuff about Lycans and Rogues. It’s a load of
bullshit.” I mutter though Raven isn’t listening to me. She is busy staring at Jenson.
The guy is hooked up to every machine possible and she spends all day here, watching for the
tiniest clues. Looking for something that just isn’t there.
The only reason he is alive is because of the machines.
Turn the venttor off and the other one that’s keeping his heart pumping and that would be it, but
she couldn’t ept that, even with her vast knowledge of medical stuff. Or maybe it was more that
she wouldn’t ept it.
Big ck circles sit under her eyes from theck of sleep. Her lips are chapped from theck of
fluids and every piece of food I put in front of her went uneaten. Even her favourite ice cream.
“This wasn’t supposed to happen.” she whispers, gripping Jenson’s unresponsive hand. “We were
supposed to stick together. Look after each other. And you had to go and ruin it!”
A single tear trickles down her cheek as she stares at her brother. “You couldn’t just ept it, could
you?”
“Raven, he can’t hear you.”
“You don’t know that!” She snaps at me. “He could still wake up.”
Even Dane knew it wouldn’t happen.
“Raven, you need to sleep.” I press. I needed to get her out of here, even if it were only for a few
hours.
“I can’t leave him.”
“He won’t be alone. I’ve asked us toe and sit with him.”
“It has to be me. If something happens…”
“Then us will link you. This isn’t good for you. You need to rest. To eat. It’s no good if you are
making yourself ill too. You won''t be able to help him if you are making yourself suffer.” I press,
hoping that she would finally understand what I''m telling her.
Her dark eyes flicker to mine. “I can’t leave him, Damien.”
“You will only be in the packhouse. You are not leaving him.”
She sighs and slowly peels her hand from her brothers as us appears.
“Anything us, promise me if there is anything, you will tell me.” Raven pleads with him, “A finger
or a toe twitch, the machines. I need to know. Please.”
“Of course.” us nods. He takes her seat beside Jenson and I still have to drag her away.
Tears fall more freely when it is just us. In bed, she lets me curl around her until her body is
perfectly nestled into mine. I hoped my presence would be enough to make her feel something
other than sadness and fear.
She cries and sobs into the pillow like nothing I have ever seen.
Being like me, youe to learn that death was expected. It truly is the only guaranteed thing in
life.
We are born and we die. What happens in between is up to us. And though my own death is not
something that scares me, the idea of losing my mate to it does. The worst thing is, I could feel
everything she was feeling, but I couldn’t make it better. Only one person could and he was being
kept alive by machines.

She falls asleep from crying. Her eyes are left puffy from all the tears and her cheeks are flushed
red from her hands constantly brushing them away. But she was asleep and I wanted to keep it that
way. At least for a little while.
Carefully moving away, I watch her for a moment, making sure she doesn’t wake. A tiny snore
escapes and I knew she was out and unlikely to wake for at least a few hours.
The house is empty and I find Neah sitting on the steps in front of the house. A deep frown etched
on her face as she stares at Abraxas performing some sort of martial arts.
"Dane?"
“Dane took the boys and Dorothy to Eric’s parents.”
“Is that a good idea?”
“They miss their own grandsons, well, the ones they thought were theirs. Dane thought the kids
might cheer them up.”
“And he thought it was a good idea to leave him alone.” I nod my head in Abraxas'' direction.
“This is all he has been doing for thest hour.”
“You offered to watch?”
