Chapter Twenty

White

“Do you think she realizes she’s been staring at the same scribbles for over three hours?” I ask Doe from where we sit by the fire. Jupiter is still huddled in the corner, and I’m having a hard time not going over and smoothing the cute wrinkle between her eyebrows. I have to keep reminding myself that throwing everything into this relationship could be dangerous for Jupiter, but my instincts won’t listen. I simultaneously want to take her away for safety and fuck her raw. It’s a maddening conundrum, one that now makes me understand what the Hatter goes through. Jupiter is so bright that I just want to wrap her around me and claim her as mine, no matter the danger.

“She’s clever, your mate,” Doe whispers. “I like her.”

I smile as Jupiter frowns in concentration and crosses something out on her paper.

“You should have seen her working with chemicals. The lab coat is very sexy. I’ve imagined her wearing nothing but the coat.” Doe looks at me, and I chuckle. “Perhaps, when we’re not in danger of dying horrible deaths.”

“I can hear you, White,” Jupiter says, not even looking up. She continues staring at the paper in front of her.

“You were meant to,” I reply, grinning. “I need to put the idea out there for the future.”

She snorts but doesn’t spare me another word. It’s incredibly sexy, watching her brain work through different scenarios. I knew the moment I saw her studying me that there was something special about her.

“You’re a good match,” Doe whispers, her voice even lower than before. “Don’t fuck it up, White.”

“You’re talking about before,” I acknowledge, frowning down at the fire as I poke the sticks inside.

Doe nods.

“You have a history of freezing like the rabbit you are. She needs you. You cannot freeze when she needs you the most.” I look over towards Jupiter again, my heart clenching at the sight of her, her red hair wild around her shoulders, twirling the charcoal pencil between her fingers. “You want to die, White,” she continues. “You have for a long time. But you are a Son of Wonderland, and you have a job to do. That woman cannot help save our world if you’re fighting against it being saved.”

I swallow at her words, dropping the stick I’m holding before running my fingers through my hair.

“I don’t know if it’s in my nature to be anything else, Doe,” I rasp, my voice thick with emotion. “I will always be just a rabbit.”

Doe shakes her head.

“You have to be more, White. For her, you have to be more.”
