I set the small black box on the trunk and sit down next to it, I shift back into my skin and slip into the robe the King gave me before I ran off. I haven't gone on a run like this in a while and it served to clear my head. I don't feel stiff and uncomfortable anymore. "You look good." Violetta, the Falcon's second steps out of the darkness. "Better," "This is what he wanted, I take the box and toss it at her. She catches it with ease. Her eyes spark bright red. The light of a passing car makes them reflective.

"You did well. The City will soon be ours," she is tiny and a wolf, but I know enough about her to know better than to addres her as anything other than a threat. Violetta Wilde looks harmless but she's a vicious animal. "Small talk, Violetta?"

"Not our thing," she nods a smile tugging at her lips. I just wanted to tell you that I've seen Kenzie,"

Where?"

"She's-"I hear the sound in her throat. Something between a whine and a growl. "She should be on her way Wood. Perhaps she's putting herself back together,

"If you see her again, tell her we don't live in the city anymore,"

here. To Red

doubt I'll see her again," she turns to leave and pauses. You got out. She's out now. Don't come back, Pernicious. Find her and don't ever look back,"

"What t do you mean she's out?"

Without an answer, she melts into the shadows and disappears. Scent, presence, and all. I stand here for a bit just staring at the ground where she had stood. I slip out of my robe and shift. Crystal takes the robe in her mouth and runs back in the direction we came from. I didn't tell her where the girl is.

It takes me a moment to realize that we're just outside of Red Wood. The spot where I first shifted. The place where I lost my virginity that same night. The King opens up the robe when Crystal drops it. I change into my skin again and let him help me into it. "Did something happen?" "Mackenzie is on her way here. Will you ask Nate to keep an eye out for her? Let her get to Jacob

"Yes," he opens the passenger door for me. He puts my seatbelt on and stays still for a moment. "Why does it feel like that?" he asks. When I don't answer, he tilts my head up. "What is this place?"

"This is where I shifted for the first time. Where Darren claimed me." I whisper. I turn enough to be able to look past his shoulder. The top of the oak tree where it happened peaks just over the hill we're on. "We should go,

"Yeah,"

"he goes to move and stops. He cups my cheek and gives me a sad smile. It takes him a moment before he pulls away and shuts the door. t night's guilt comes flooding in again, louder and more demanding. I know the King feels it because he doesn't say a word on the ride back. It only feels that much worse because not only am I dragging myself across the mud but I'm also hurting him. Forcing him to feel this hell with me. I couldn't be more pathetic if I tried. My phone pings and I lift it glad to be rid of the tension for a moment. The f****ng **le paid me for the blood. Six hundred and fifty thousand. My phone rings in my hand and I lift it to my ear. Oct 18 Chapter 72 "Guess

that means you're staying on the path you're on," I answer. "It was the Lycans who turned me into what I am," the old man sighs. "I can take you out of there if you want me to. I've known you for ten years now, Pernicious Phurry. I know the world hasn't been kind to you. I broke my promise once-" Then you know I'm not the forgiving type. I don't want this Falcon. I've had enough. There is nothing wrong with this system. Leave him be,"Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Is this our final farewell, Miss Nelson?" I haven't been called that since Darren marked me. I couldn't wait to shed that f****g disgusting last name. My father f**** it to hell and back. If his enemies found me it wouldn't be pleasant. He knows that. "I've given you a lot. I dare argue too much. You can turn around and drop this or I will give you my full attention. I will never stop hunting you. I will dedicate my life to it. No drugs. No liquor. No restraints. You are one man. Even if they kill me, I will give everything to the kings and it'll be the entire wor world after you. Emiliano Cordova,"

There is a long pause. A very long pause. This is the one thing that Darren never stopped me from doing. Digging my grave deeper than most. The old man had us and we knew that one day, we'd want out. Even after Darren's death, I never stopped snooping. It's the only thing that's me. No one taught me or gave me that ability. I always considered it something that was just built into me and it's the one thing that's kept me alive all this time. "I can't drop this and you'd be taking the fall with me." You think I nk give a f***k &

about spending the rest of my life in prison? I'm in prison now. Drop this. I am still an ally. Move against me and we cross the line drawn between us. I'm not asking you to stop what you're doing. I'm not asking you for a single thing. You don't even have to lift a finger. I'll I clean this all up. Go on my way like it never happened," "How do you know who I am?"

You

"I know a lot of things I shouldn't. Kill me and they all go viral. Keep helping the prince and it becomes a political issue.

I shouldn't be arguing with him. It doesn't matter, but the rage I feel for standing in the place where I consummated my mating while mated and marked by another man is suffocating me and I have no other place to put it. I want him to come after me. I need him to. "How do I do I remedy the situation?" he asks after a while and to say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

"Cut him off. By morning, he's going to be nothing but a spoiled little a***ole who tried something way in over his head."

"You promised to bring me the girl,"

"She's on the bench not far from where we met. She won't wake up until morning,"

"And this ends our transaction? Will you delete the information?

"No, I won't. It'll remain with me and my King. Until our last breath,"
