Chapter 0160 Raven The crutches were a nightmare, but not from my point of view.
Damien and Dane walk either side ofas though I was going to fall any second. Any stumble, I would hear them catch their breath and I was half expecting someone to say it would just be easier if they carried me. That's what Dane had done te Neah when she first chere.
I see a slight head shake from Dane that's aimed at Damien.

"And for a few hours." "Then longer won't be a problem, will it?" I grumble Dane unlocks the door and pulls it open I'm met with the stench of dried blood, piss and shit. Every ounce ofhas to stop myself from gagging. Why are we doing this?' Midnight groans.
Because it is Salem.' She knew the real truth, I had no idea why I wanted to speak to him. Closure? Understanding why he rejected me? Maybe to stare at the man who. had fucked up my ability to do anything physical for a long time? Who knows, I just know I had to see him. I had to look him in the eyes while learning how he could be so cruel.
'Oh, looks like we have more guests.' Roan mutters as Dane walks in, in frant of me. “Shut the fuck up!" Dane snaps at him "You shut up!" It was a pathetic response on Roans behalf. And before I know it, Dane is unlocking the cell door and is punching Roan in the face. His death couldn't csoon enough.
Turning around, I see him, Salem. Attached to the wall with chains. Damien hadn't been wrong either when he had toldthat Neah took a chunk of his leg. The remaining leg dangled from his hip at an odd angle, the bone still exposed.
Damien is already staring at him, his arms folded across his chest. but his face shows no anger, no frustration, itis practically unreadable. A statement I had heard from Neah many times but never quite understood what she meant until now.
Salem's eyes are on me. His snout pulled up into a warning. yet no sound comes from him. His eyes briefly move to the crutches before locking on mine again. I didn't know what I expected to feel, but feeling nothing is worse "Ask him whatever you want." Damien whispers to me. "I am not concerned about what he once was to you." "You hurt me." I mutter as silence falls. "Why me? I loved you once and you loved me. I always thought you rejectedbecause of my brother?" "I did." He pulls on his chains but it makes no difference, his chains had been shortened until he was practically pressed against the wall.
"You did? You didn't rejectbecause you were a Lycan? "Both.
"You wanted her, but Cassandra was afraid you would reveal the truth. Wasn't she?" Dane asks as he locks Roans' cell.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"And you ended up finding out anyway." Salem snaps. "Do you know why she wanted a contract with you? "You weren't around when the contract was in place.
"Years you idiot. Years she was planning that stupid contract idea of hers.
"It's true." Damien mutters. "A Wolf had discovered the pack. They didn't have the numbers needed for protection." "Roan." Dane replies, glancing back at Rean's cell. "Roan was the one who discovered Moonshine. Roan was the one moving in to kill you all. He admitted it to Neah." Dane tells us that Neah met Roan as a pup, though she can't remember and he becinfatuated with her and their kind. "Are you....serious?" I ask in shock.
Dane is too busy looking at Salem to answer me. He points to Roans cell. "Did he not mention that to you while you were making your little plans? If he had attacked Moonshine earlier, you wouldn't exist.
"You don't know that!" Salem growls "They were strong. They manipulated an Alpha. “You mean a child?" I snap, immediately jumping to Neah's defence. "Your current Alpha?" "She is not my Alpha!"
"Why are you trying to stick up for them, Salem” Damien demands. Can you still not see that Cassandra M e fucked you over. She promised. you the world and she gave you nothing apartfrom the desire to be a predator!" Content belongs to 4
Salem tugs atthe chains, growling, though it makes no difference. I'm ~N not sure what he hoped to m achieve but he wasn't going anywhere. Dane had nvade sure of that. The dungeons would be the last t thing Satém ever sees. Content belongs to 4
After Salem rejectedand broke my heart, I questioned the Moon Goddess and her plan questibhed fate too. Wondering if it was juste word thrown around to make people feel-Hetter about themselvegand abéut the future. To give them hope. Ashburn X
