Chapter 9

Reid

“Looks like we were worried for nothing.” Damian leans against a tree, staring at the cabin across the clearing wistfully.

Between the sounds of the four of them going at it, there are random snippets of laughter that bring a small smile to my face. The fact that Sabrina has found a way to be happy in the middle of the hell that our lives have become really helps put things into perspective.

Good things happen when you stop trying to control everything that happens in your life. We can’t choose what happens to us, only how we react to it, and Sabrina? She refuses to let this hold her back from living. If that’s not proof that we’ve used being cursed as an excuse to justify our misery rather than do something about it, I don’t know what is. But I do know that I was right in the beginning, even if I didn’t understand it back then.

She really is at home in the darkness that the rest of us refused to embrace. Sabrina’s better at being cursed than any of us, and that’s how I know that it’s going to be okay, even if I don’t know how. Simply being around her will teach us how to thrive where lesser men have fallen prey to something we were never meant to contain, and that comfort takes the fear out of the unknown.

“Yeah,” I murmur. “Looks like it.”

After another minute, I do another scan of the woods and begin the trek back to the warehouse. Damian kicks off of the tree trunk and falls into step beside me, the awkward tension rising with every additional step away from our buffer, and as much as I’m reluctant to admit it, Hunter had a good point. While we agreed on a cease fire between the seven of us, I’ve still been avoiding Damian as much as possible, subconsciously holding a bit of a grudge. With Ash exploiting any weakness he can find, I need to figure out how to let it go and move on, and honestly, I’m not sure why I’m struggling so much.

It’s why despite the fact that I was a better choice to help the Slaughters, and how desperately I want to understand exactly how they make the drug that fucked me up so badly, how they could synthetically replicate the effects of a claiming bite, Hunter kicked me out to join Damian on recon. We needed to be sure that no one circled back to the cabin after we left or decided to riot after Kaige and Damian killed members of their packs.

And he knew exactly what he was doing, because once he planted that seed in my head, neither me nor my inner demon would have been able to focus on anything that was happening at the warehouse. All we’d have been able to picture was my brothers getting killed, of Sabrina being dragged out-

“Dude.” Damian’s fingers snap in front of my face and I scowl, pushing his hand away.
