"Dorothy is waiting for you." I mutter as Abraxas approaches the house with a shotgun resting on his shoulder. He looked incredibly pissed off, like he had just heard the worst news in his entire life and he had only just arrived back.

"Right." He dips his head at me, "I best go see her." A small smile appeared but it didn't change his pissed off look, instead it made him look darker and creepier. What had happened out there?

“And your mate is in the hospital.” I add as he brushes past me.

He freezes, but keeps his composure. "My mate was killed. I will never have another mate."

"We both know it doesn't work like that. Damien is Raven's second mate. Maybe it was time for you to be mated again."

He slowly turns his body around until he is facing me. "I don't know what you think you know, Neah. I. Do not. Have. A. Mate!"
