“He rejected me.” I splutter.”I am aware. A good job too.” He takes the seat next to the bed, watching me. “It would have made it harder for me to find you.””Is he dead?” I sigh, why did this man make me feel so irrational so easily?”No. He is in the dungeons though. Alpha Neah is trying to get more information out of him or break him. I’m not really sure. I just know she has banned me from going down there.” “She shouldn’t be alone with him and she doesn’t like to be called Alpha.” I mutterHe cocks a brow at me. “She is more than capable of handling herself. She took a chunk out of his leg in payment for what he did to you.”That made me feel a little better.”You can’t kill him, can you? You want to, you really want to. I can see it in your eyes, but you can’t bring yourself to do it because he is your brother.”Damien doesn’t answer me, he just snorts and shakes his head.”You talked.” I mutter, remembering hearing him speak as a Lycan.”Yes.””How? You are not like him.””I was once.” My hands clench the blankets and his eyes move down to them. “I won’t hurt you.””I’m not scared. I’m frustrated.” I sigh “I don’t….. Dane said you told him that there was no coming back from being like that.”

He had told me I should be scared of him. That I should fear him.”I did.”I slowly nod my head. “I give you permission to reject me.”He scowls at me.”You clearly couldn’t make up your mind before, but now, I’m damaged. I’m giving you a free pass. I won’t fight it. I won’t refuse your rejection like Jess refused Jensons.””Aren’t we all damaged in some way?” He stands up and moves closer to me, cupping my face. “I’ve been waiting days to taste you again.” He leans down and presses his lips to mine. Softer and gentler than last time, like he was savouring the moment.My arms loop around my neck, pulling him in closer and I feel him smile against my lips. Little sparks of electricity burn through me as his kiss deepens. But he is careful not to press himself against me this time.He pulls away when there is a knock on the door. “There will be more than enough time.” He mutters, taking in my frustrations. “But I am not rejecting you, mate.”My heart skips a beat againNeah opens the door. She shoots Damien a look of disgust and then smiles at me. I notice how she is rubbing her small bump. Something she didn’t have the last time I saw her. How long had I been out for? “She thinks I put you in danger.” Damien makes sure Neah hears him before stepping outside of the room. I see that he doesn’t leave though, standing guard as Neah closes the door.”He didn’t know.” I mutter. I wasn’t even sure what I was trying to defend. “He didn’t know it would come for me. I didn’t know that Salem was a… a Lycan!””He should have told us. He should have explained to you what he is.””Was.” I mutter. “But that’s not what’s annoying you, is it?”Neah sits in the chair. “Eric wasn’t going to tell me.” She looks at my confused face. “When the Rogue took you, Eric was guarding me. Dane wanted me to stay put. If I hadn’t gone, you could be dead right now.” “”But I’m alive.”
