Neah
I sit hunched over with my forehead on the cool wooden desk as Dane, Eric and Klaus try to come up with a plan. But every scenario was a waste of time. Salem was smart. He had outsmarted Raven, Jess, even his own brother.
Turning my head to one side, I glance at Mallory whe is asleep on the sofa. Klaus had said it was unfair for her to be alone while in recovery and my mate had agreed for him to bring her to the office
Her eyes are closed and her arm dangles over the side of the sofa, but I had a sneaking suspicion that she wasn’t really asleep. That she just wanted to hear what was being said.
We should say something?’ Nyx mutters Not yet.” I reply. I still didn’t trust Mallory. I may have helped save her life, but that didn’t mean she was trustworthy.
Everything surrounding her seemed too good to be true. The others didn’t see it yet and constantly reminded me that she was trying, but they will see what I see, it’s just a matter of time.
Damien had told me more about his past then what she had. All she kept harping on about was what she had done to me and that made me suspicious.
I see her eyelashes move, but all she does is roll over, so that her face is towards the back of the sofa. I won't be able to know for certain if she is faking sleep.
“Are you okay?” Dane moves around the desk to me, partially blocking my view of Mallory.
“Tired.” I mutter. It wasn’t a lie. The movement of the twins inside me had been non stop all night. I had barely slept a wink. “Do you want to lie down?"
I see Mallory tense. waiting for my answer, “No.”
He leans down and kisses my cheek when there is a knock at the door, dragging my eyes away from Mallory.
Klaus opens it to Damien and Raven. Her cheeks are a little flush and my guess was that she had been in heat as they hadn't left her room for most of the day.
"Now what's your problem." Dane mutters
"Salem has been trying to watch Raven.”
"What do you mean?" I sit up.
“Bloody handprints on her windows and his scent.” Damien replies.
"How?" I ask in surprise, “Your room doesn't even...”
"I know. We haven't figured that out yet.”
"Please tell me I get to kill someone today!" Damien asks
Dane had agreed to let Damien kill Roan
“Well you are in luck, today is the day.” Dane smiles. “We need to get him out of the picture. ‘About damn time!’ Nyx mutters.
Klaus wakes Mallory. Though she practically springs up from the sofa when he touches her, almost as if she wasn't really asleep like I suspected
The seven of us head to the dungeon. Roan was supposed to be having his death sentence dealt in front of the entire pack, but given the circumstances, Dane decided it would be best if we got it over with in the dungeon.
Roan laughs as we stand in front of his cell. His eyes drifted across each of our faces as though he was reminding himself on who to haunt after his death.
“Go on then, do it!" He gloats.
Dane clears his throat, his crimson eyes lock on to the asshole in the cell. “I am sentencing you to death for your acts of crime against the Alpha and Luna known as Neah Kitson.”
Roan laughs again. His smile takes up most of his face. He had lost a lot of weight since being locked up and it gave him even more of a creepier look than before.
“I assume the girl is dead.” Roan asks as Dane unlocks the cell. “Why would you assume that?
“When she was down here he told her he would kill her. She still opened the cell anyway, but she wouldn't open mine.” He spits on the floor. “She deserves to be dead.”
“Deserves? After you had her kidnapped by your brother, you think she deserves to have her heart ripped out?” I was fuming “Careful now, Neah, you are carrying a precious load. We wouldn't want anything to happen to the twins.” “You will be dead soon. Those twins are nothing to you.” Damien growls
"Rather invested, aren't you, Lycan?” Roan’s grin seems to grow further, practically reaching his ears. “My pack is coming for me.”
Dane bursts imto laughter. “No. No they are notRoan, Your Beta has taken over Ashburn city. Your pack wants nothing to do with you. In fact, your Beta wants to be called wher your heart has s opped beating. “Content belongs t to 4
Dane unlocks the cell, moving in with Eric. “You are a liar Dane. You know they will seek revenge for my death. They won't rest until you suffer.” Dane and Eric hold him still as Damien unlocks his chains. Raven slips an arm around mine, using me to steady herself.
“Go on then, kill me. You will never find out the truth about the young redhead.”
Neah,' Dane links me. ‘He is just trying to get in your head. He is trying to buy himself time.”
“The truth,” I mutter, removing Raven's arm from mine and stepping into-the cell. I lock eyes ~ with the gatint looking man. “The < truth oth at she was just a girl, who had her ife turned upside dowh’ You don’tknow what that's like, but roaybe if I rearrange your_ergans, you will feel what it's likevfor just a few seconds. Damien move.”
Damien glances at my hand that was already quickly becoming claws. He steps around me as one by one my claws pierce Roan’s chest, like slicing into soft cheese.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
He fights the screams. His body sweats profusely as he struggles against my claws but that only makes them sink deeper.
Slicing his flesh open, he struggles against Dane and Eric, who refuse to let him drop to his knees.
“Isn’t this what you want, Roan?” I hear the darkness to my own words. I had so much rage surging through me.
“Please, please stop or kill me quicker.” He begs.
“You don’t deserve a quick death.” I mutter, pulling my claws free of his flesh. The wounds partially knit together, just for me to slice through again. I repeat the action three more times, putting all my anger into his slow and painful death.
His head drops low as he coughs up more blood. I knew my claws had penetrated his lungs this time. I could tell by the strange whistle that comes from his mouth
Forcing my claws in deep, I squeeze the lungs and tear parts of them from his chest.
His entire body trembles until Eric and Dane let go of him, letting him fall face first in the pool of his own blood and piss.
Leaving the-cell, I see Raven with her head buried against Damien's chest but his. €yes are on me along with Mallory’ s. I hope they both could see that-twas not worth fuckingawith. Nat anymore. “
I don’t stop, and walk straight out of the dungeon, if Salem wanted to attack, I will be ready to rip him apart.
