She glances down to her hand resting over my heart. It beated steadily under her touch. Yet her own heart starts to race and the wind catches in her hair, firing her scent in all directions.

"You were going to die?" She asks with a hint of concern "We all die eventually, Raven. What I mean, is that I had enough of the sshitty life. Eat, sleep, hunt. repeat. I had a desire to break free from it. Her eyes flicker back up to mine. "And Mallory helped you?" "She did. She gavea home. She beca friend and is now practically a sister. She remindedthat just because I beca beast. it didn't mean I needed to live as one. She still reminds me." "And just like that you turned back?" "No, it was a long process.

I frown, she shouldn't be saying sorry for something my brother did to her.

"Maybe I should just go lie down." she mutters with a scowl. Her frustrations are clear. "Spend stwith Neah." "Are you sure?" She nods and waits forto pick up the crutches. I watch her hobble off in the direction of the packhouse. Looking up, I see Mallory hovering. Her arms folded across her chest as she looks at anything but me. "Mallory? Do you need something?

"Did it?" I mutter, unamused.

"Con, Damien! You know it was. What's it like, having a mate?"

"Mallory, if youare after gossip, then I have nothing for you." I knew it wouldn't bevenough to settle her. Ins the past he had openly admitted that geSsip was one of the things she missed about being human. Livitig the way we did meant she lost that part of her humanity,too. "Fine. What about Salem? How did it go with him?" "Has Dane not been to see you?" "No. Why would he want to see me?"
