“What are you talking about?” Dane frowns.
I don’t look at him but press a finger against my head. Hoping he understood that I wanted him inside my head to listen to my thought process. If I was right…. I didn’t want to be right.
Raven smiles at me. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“Yes you do.”
Dane is staring at me now, like I have lost the plot. But stranger things had happened. And it was common knowledge that Raven and Jenson shared more than just a birthday. Abraxas had said they shared a piece of each other’s souls.
Abraxas also talked about how the darkness seeps in. It finds a spot and grows. What if that is possible between twins who share twin wolves? They did have a piece of each other in them.
“You moved them all in when I wasn’t paying attention.” Raven mutters. She stops struggling against Dane and Abraxas. “You moved more Lycans in when I wasn’t able to do anything to stop them.”
“What’s happening?” Damien asks. “Someone tell me what is happening!”
I watch Dane hold a hand up to him as I carry on questioning the person in front of me.
“Where’s Raven?” I demand and Damien stares at me in utter confusion.
“I knew you were smart Neah, the very first day that I laid eyes on you. You were peering out from around the corner at Moonshine. Barely”
“Raven wasn’t at Moonshine.” Dane mutters.
“No, but Jenson was.” I stare at Raven’s face. She had made me feel at home here before Dane had. Her advice at the time was brutal, but I loved the honesty from her. Now, I didn’t even recognise the person standing in front of me.
How could someone’s soul be taken over by anothers?
My eyes burn as I try to hold back the tears. Was Raven even in there? She must be. Damien is still connected to her.
“How long?” I demand
Her lips curve up but she doesn’t answer. I grab her face. Claws inching out the tip of my fingers. She lets out a growl as they begin to pierce her cheek. “How fucking long?”
“Neah!”
