Abraxas

“She actually did it?” Dane asks in surprise. He turns to face the direction of the pack house. “How?”

Mallory shrugs her shoulders. “I wasn’t with her.”

Dane scowls and not because he didn’t want it to happen but because Neah had managed to do it without guidance.

“I saw Damien over here with you two and just….” She stops and her brown eyes shift up to the hospital doors with a frown. She doesn’t question why we are here even though she wants too.

“We need to prepare.” Damien stares at me. “But I’m guessing you are already prepared for this.”

“This was why I was asked to come here. To put down the Rogues.” I wink at him

He rolls his eyes at me and turns to Mallory. “You are coming with me where I can keep an eye on you.”

“What about Raven?” She questions. “That’s why you are here isn’t it? Is Jenson still alive?”

“Raven will be fine.” I tell them and again I’m met with irritated glares from Damien. He was so easy to wind up. I just needed him to explode, then I will have an actual reason for putting him down and no one will question it.

He gives me one final glare before walking off and tugging Mallory with him, leaving Dane and I behind.

“You have got to stop doing that.” Dane warns me. “He is my Beta, he has done nothing but help this pack and Neah for that matter. He has spent the last year raising your daughter. You need to at least respect him for that.”

“There’s a reason Wolves and Lycans don’t live together, Dane. The Lycans run the risk of tipping over into the Rogue life every single day. Wolves don’t, it’s as simple as that.”

“Is it? Because if you haven’t noticed there are several of us that are mated to Lycans now. A bond created just for us. If we are not supposed to live together then why were we mated in the first place?”

I open my mouth to answer but he continues

“You’re telling me that you have had centuries worth of information passed down to you, yet somehow, you are still stuck living in the past. Living by your insane made up rules that were created however long ago. Have you ever actually taken the time to get to know a Lycan?”

I don’t answer because I could see that he one hundred percent believed himself.

He shakes his head at me. “I think for someone that can read souls. You are blind to a lot of things.”

“I’m a Hunter by birthright.”

“You are also a Wolf by birthright. You shouldn’t forget that. Now come with me. We need to see my mate.”

I trail a little behind him as we head towards the packhouse. Mulling over his words. I was born to be a Hunter. It was in my blood. I couldn’t change that, nor did I want to change that.

Neah is pacing in the office. Her eyes are cast down as she moves back and forth. She only stops when Dane clears his throat.

“I did it. I sent out a link.” She murmurs unsure of herself.

“So I hear.” Dane smiles at her and I watch their souls explode with love for one another. Their kind together was wrong, but at the same time, their souls were made for each other. What the hell were the higher powers up to?

“It was the right thing to do though, wasn’t it? It’s what we said I needed to do?” Neah checks with him

“Yes.” He reassures her as he pulls her against him. “How did you manage it?”

She smiles, “Dorothy.”

Dane cocks an eyebrow as he looks back at me. “Dorothy helped you?”

She nods and a part of me feels sick yet proud that she called already tap in to her Hunter abilities. Though my Hunter daughter had helped a Lycan. A shiver goes down my spine.
