Chapter Twenty-Four

After pushing through the crowd to get to the exit, I spot Keenan out the front of the place talking to a few of his friends I’ve seen before. Just as I was about to reach Keenan, a Russian conversation drew my attention, stopping me in my tracks.

I know there are a lot of different cultures in New York, so hearing someone else speak Russian wasn’t that rare. But the man the voice belonged to was. I will never forget that voice. Searching the crowd for where it came from, I find the source. Standing a few meters away was Adrik Orlov. Just one of the three men who took my innocence. Who held me down as I screamed for him to stop because my insides hurt. Just one of my father's sick fucks who followed his every order and was only too happy to do so. I didn’t know I was having a panic attack until my throat constricted and I was trembling.

I stood there staring at one of the men who always appears in my nightmares. He’s always there staring back at me with those dark empty eyes as he laughed at my tear-stricken face. The young girl in my dreams always begged him to stop but he never did. Even when I passed out and woke up again, he was still on top of me, thrusting away as I stared at his face, imprinting his to my mind forever.

“Lake!” Turning me quickly to face him, Keenan grabs my face as he calls my name again and again trying to capture my attention.

But nothing could break me out of my thoughts.

That was, until I saw Keenan look over my shoulder and stare straight at my haunting past. Then his bright eyes turned so dark I thought I was staring into the eyes of myself when I kill. What frightened me more was that his grip started to loosen, getting ready to storm over there to my deadly past who wouldn’t think twice about snapping Keenan’s neck.

Forcing a breath down my throat I grab his hands, silently begging him with my eyes not to do what he’s thinking of doing. I’ve never been so afraid of Keenan than I was in that moment when his eyes connected with mine again. I wasn’t afraid for my life, but his. I’ve seen that look so many times before when I catch my reflection after a kill that wasn’t planned. When I lose control and my demons win, that’s the look I see now in his eyes. I can’t let him go down this road, I need him safe.

“Don’t.” He continues to watch me until I see his eyes start to brighten as his breath becomes normal again.

“Lake..” He starts breathlessly but I cut him off.

“Go hang out with your friends.” I turn to leave and follow the retreating demon but Keenan's hand clamps around my arm, instantly reminding me of when Mason grabbed me the same way weeks ago.

“Don’t go, Lake.
