Chapter 0283


    Damien


    Raven isn’t in bed when I return. The hours of sleep she needed once again evaded her and I


    already knew she would be back at Jenson’s bedside. Praying for a miracle.


    I don’t stop when I hear Dane and Abraxas in the kitchen. He was spewing some bullshit about


    seeing souls like he was some fucking God or maybe that was it, he just had a Godplex.


    Bringing him here was a mistake and I would prove it.


    In the hospital, I find Raven exactly where I expected her to be. Hunched over Jenson, fighting


    sleep, gripping his hand.


    “You are supposed to be in bed.”


    “Can’t sleep.” She whispers


    “us was watching him.” I remind her


    “I know.”


    She’s clinging to his hand again. Her thumb circled the back of his hand as though that would wake


    him up.


    “Did something happen? Did us link you?”


    She shakes her head, arge tear rolls down her cheek.


    I stand there, watching her, trying to think of something to say when I hear his voice. Why the fuck


    was he here?


    I pull the door open to face Dane and Abraxas.


    “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!”


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Nice to see you too, Rogue!” He grins at me and Dane rolls his eyes.


    “Why are you here, asshole?” I snap back. If he was going to continue to call me Rogue, then I had


    a few choice names for him too.


    “I asked him toe here.” Dane interrupts us


    “So he can look at Jenson’s soul?” I mutter sarcastically.


    “Exactly.”


    I stare at Dane, surely he didn’t believe the crap this asshole is sprouting.


    “His soul?” Raven whispers behind me.


    “Raven, this is Abraxas. Abraxas, this is my sister Raven and the guy in the bed is my brother,


    Jenson.”


    The asshole stares at me, waiting for me to move. I position myself next to Raven and the idiot


    smirks at me. As soon as we are alone, I’m going to stitch his lips shut so he can never smirk again.


    He settles into a chair on the other side of Jenson, propping an ankle on his knee as he stares at


    my mate''s brother.


    “He’s a Wolf?”


    “Thought you could tell the difference?” I sneer


    “That’s not why I was questioning it, Rogue. I’m questioning how he can be a Wolf.”


    “I don’t understand.” Dane frowns


    “You told me what he did to himself. That he practically killed himself to get rid of his Wolf so that he


    didn’t have a connection to ir.”


    “Yes.”


    "Hmm" He’s staring at my mate in that strange way he looked at Neah.


    “What?” Raven mutters. “What is it?”


    The asshole frowns as his eyes move down to my mate holding Jenson’s hand. “Humour me, let


    go.”


    “Why?” She mutters.


    “Curiosity.”


    He said that quite a lot. It was annoying that he never exined himself. Not unless he wanted to.


    “I can’t.” Raven whispers. “I’m not ready.”


    “He’s not going anywhere,” The asshole tells her


    She nods her head and her hand slowly retreats. Why did they listen to everything he said like it


    wasw? How could I be the only one not to trust him?


    A smile appears on his face after several minutes of silence. “Okay, you can hold him again.” He


    mutters and leaves.


    “I will be right back.” I tell my mate and follow Daneand Abraxas from the room. “What the fuck was


    that about?”


    “He’s not dead.” The asshole mutters.


    “The machines……” Dane starts


    “The machines are letting him heal, very very slowly.” He runs his hand through the stubble on his


    cheeks. “Twin Wolves both in essence and spirit. Much like mates, they can connect on more levels.


    Surely you know this.”


    “I know their bond is different.” Dane replies.


    “You should prepare yourself, your sons have the same bond.”


    “Really? Do you really get off on spewing this crap? Those machines are what are keeping him


    alive.”


    “Nah.”


    I square up to him and heughs. “You should never havee here, asshole.”


    “Neither should you, Rogue.”


    His movement is quick and I feel a gun pressed to the side of my head.


    “Abraxas!” Dane growls.


    “I promised not to hurt your mate.” He smiles at me as he stares me dead in the eye. “I didn’t


    promise I wouldn’t kill the Rogue." His eyes narrow. "Your brain will make a lovely piece of art,


    smeared against the wall to our left. I might even put a frame around it.”


    “Son of a bitch.”


    “You shouldn’t talk about someone else''s mother like that. Not when you have your own family


    problems.” He pushes the end of the gun firmly against my temple.


    “You two are worse than squabbling children!” Dane snaps. “Abraxas put the gun down. Damien go


    to Raven.”


    “Looks like it’s your lucky day.” The asshole grins at me. “I was quite looking forward to hanging a


    frame. I was going to add a little information. ‘Here lies the remnants of a Rogue. He thought he


    knew what he was doing, but the darkness took him instead.’ Has a nice sound to it, doesn’t it?”


    A low growl rumbles from my chest and heughs. He taps the gun against my temple twice.


    “Remember, I’m always prepared, Rogue.” He winks at me and turns away, acting like it was his


    decision not to shoot me.
