Death never seemed so sweet as it did right now. The choices were clear, and in the end, one choice posed death while the other was only potential. Never in my life had ! felt as helpless as I had in that moment. –

Yet, something inside me told me not to be afraid. It told me to be strong. But how could I when there was a chance I was signing someone’s death warrant?

“Do the others know?” | asked, staring at the wall ahead of me, trying to judge where everyone’s minds were at.

Hale was quiet for a moment, but I knew that was only because he didn’t want to admit to me the truth. “Yes, they know.”

“What was their verdict?” I asked him, but deep down, I already knew what they were going to say. They would say no because they didn’t want me to die.

“Ivy…” Talon sighed, catching my attention. “I’m not worth it.”

“Don’t ever say that to me again,” I snapped in anger. “You are worth everything. All of you are, and I won’t have you thinking otherwise. Do you understand me?”

There was no mistaking the choice I would have to make, and even though I didn’t want to let them die because of my choice, I knew one of them that would in fact live far past us.

Damian.

Standing to my feet, I stormed from the room with Talon and Hale yelling my name.

“Damian!” I screamed as I searched through the house, seeking the tall form that pissed me off more times than I could count. “Damian!”

His dark eyes met mine from behind his desk, and as he looked at me, I could see the haunted thoughts that were crossing his mind. “They told you.”

It wasn’t a question. His words were a statement, and as I nodded, all he did was sigh and pick up the glass of amber liquid chasing it down.

“You knew all this time, and you didn’t tell me. Why?”

“Why?” he laughed. “Seriously right now Ivy?”

“Is it because you didn’t want to die? is that why you have waited to mark me so long… because you didn’t want to die?!” My thoughts of him not being selfish were slowly diminishing because i couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t have this told to me much sooner

“Of course, that’s what you would think,” he scoffed, “contrary to your belief, I have only known since the day I saved your ass in the woods We haven’t exactly had time to discuss this since then.”

Letting out a heavy breath, I sighed “I’m sorry.”

11 didn’t say anything as he took another sip and raised his brows, letting out a soft laugh. “Yeah, so am I I already know what you’re going to do, and if you want to take that risk, I won’t stop you I just wish that I could join that same quick dernise that the rest of you will have”

“Stop being so morbid, Damian There is no telling if I will die.”

Standing to his feet quickly, he slammed his glass against the far wall with a force I had never seen from him “It’s fucking bullshit, lvy! I have given everything up my entire life, and this is the fucking bullshit that I have to deal with. Fuck that.”

For once, his anger was pouring from him, and I understood “Then take back what you’re afraid of. Join the choice and

make death quick if that’s what you want.”

His eyes hazed over, and moving fast, I found myself pinned against the door of his office, the door cracking under the force of his aggression.

There was no sweet sentiment about what he was doing, and I was fine with that. Our relationship wasn’t sunshine and butterflies

It was raw. Carnal, and full of sinful power.

His hands dug at my skin as a possessive growl left his throat. “You’re mine, Ivy.”

Crashing lips upon mine took my breath away. I wanted this, and I would want this for the rest of my life. Damian gave me something the other didn’t. The ability to lose control of myself.

He may not have had the same gene that his brothers had, but he was far more dangerous than they were in all the right ways. He was an uncontrollable beast with a taste for power that took what he wanted without mercy.

And god I fucking loved it.

“Shit-” I gasped as layer by layer the clothing that concealed us was torn and tossed to the floor. His lips left a hot trail down my skin that sent pleasure straight to my core.

Pinning me in place, he gripped my thighs and brought me up to his shoulders. His mouth attacked my wet cunt, causing gasps of pleasure to escape me as I let him satisfy his hunger.

Over and over his tongue evaded me and when he wasn’t evading me, his tongue and lips were sucking on my clit, causing me to gasp out as the knot in my stomach built higher and higher.
