Untouchable Darkness (The Dark Ones Saga 2) - Page 4

“Hey, guys.” I managed a weak wave.

“You found her.” Genesis winked at Mason.

“Wolves have amazing tracking abilities.” He puffed out his chest then received a punch from Ethan.

“Please.” I rolled my eyes. “You probably used the find a friend app on your phone.”

“Still counts.” Mason nodded and then tapped his head. “Tracker.”

Genesis laughed softly then looped her arm in mine. “Don’t run away. Next time just talk to us.”

“Talk,” I mimicked. “About Cassius? About the fact that my entire existence up until now has been a lie?”

The only thing that had changed in the past few days was that my hunger for Cassius had grown to epic proportions.

He’d rejected me all over again.

After kissing me, mind you.

And the place where my heart was supposed to be felt like it was slowly being ripped from my body.

I didn’t just desire Cassius.

I needed him. Because I still didn’t understand what I was or what I was capable of, and he was the only Dark One remaining who could actually tell me.

We were the last.

And it kind of sucked.

Dark Ones were typically male. I knew how they worked. But a woman? Who had Siren tendencies?

Ugh. I got a headache just thinking about it.

“You need him,” Genesis whispered next to me. “He’ll come, he just needed some time.”

“Needed some time?” I snorted. “People who need time calmly tell their family where the hell they’re going. They don’t sneak off in the middle of the night without a trace! It’s like he fled the freaking country!”

“To be fair he left his passport here,” Mason joked.

Genesis glared. “Not the time.”

He held up his hands and let out a little bark at my expense.

“He fled the country,” I repeated. “To get away from me, from the awkward situation…” I pointed at myself and looked down. “From this.”

“There’s nothing wrong with you.” Genesis squeezed my shoulder. I’d always pitied humans like Genesis, breeders, ones who were brought into the immortal fold in order to produce children with the immortals.

Then again she’d been the game changer. She’d brought balance to our world. Now she was like a goddess to our people and to her Vampire husband.

While I felt more human by the day.

I couldn’t help but think that one day I’d wake up and simply… not exist anymore… or not care to. And that thought terrified me.

I could f

eel the darkness inside, swirling, trying to grab ahold. The bond between me and the darkness was building, strengthening, and I was so afraid I wasn’t going to make it.

When I’d saved his life.
