Chapter Sixty-Four

Darius

His eyes widen and he steps towards me. ‘What do you want Darius? I will pay you whatever it cost you to save Nerissa. I will not be held hostage, now name your price or leave.’ His eyes flash orange and I know his wolf is on the brink of taking over. ‘Calm down Cronin. You were always too quick to fly off the handle instead of having a decent, grown-up conversation.’ I move away from Nerissa and his anger subsides. Interesting. I thought she was nothing more than a fuck but obviously Cronin has some real feelings for the fish lady. His room is just as I expected, boring. Nothing that has his personality in it. The furniture is exquisite and ridiculously expensive and the whole place would be at home on the front page of any interior design magazine. That isn’t Cronin. At least it isn’t the man I had gotten to know.

I move silently over the plush carpet and sit down on the comfy sofa near the window, where I sat for ages in the darkness listening to them sleep.
