StarNovelChapter 0315 "I'm not letting you go anywhere." She stares atwith her wide chestnut eyes, trying to understand me. I spot the matches nearby with a small aerosol can.
"You started the fire, didn't you?" I ask as the flames move from one charcoaled tree to the next.
"No." She mutters, but her answer comes out full of desperation and sadness. As if she was a child being scolded over spilt milk "Your soul tellsdifferently. The evidence tellsdifferently" She turns fromand starts crawling back towards the fire, dragging herself across the forest floor and ignoring every bit of pain she is feeling.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPinning her to the ground, I straddle her hips as she lets out a sob.
"Why?" I demand. "Why would you do this to the person that took you in?" "What do you mean?" Tears trickle over her soot smudged face.
"You've burned Mallory's house down." "I didn't...." "I've seen it. You've taken away the hof a pregnant woman." "No." She whimpers. "That wasn't supposed to happen. It was supposed to be me." Her heart races and she squeezes her eyes tight. Her sorrow and her pain weighed heavily on her.

Not while I feel the fire licking at my skin like it isthat is walking through the flames." She manages to grab my hand with the gun, and pulls it under her chin, locking her hands tightly over mine "I can't live in fear anymore. Please just kill me?" She tries to squeeze my finger over the trigger, though her weakness barely makes my finger move.
Death is what she is hoping for. Death was a way to escape me, but I wasn't letting her go anywhere. Not yet.
"I am not going to kill you, not yet. But you keep your mouth shut about what happened and how the fire started. Do you understand?" Lifting her from the ground, I cradle her in my arms as she hooks a burnt arm over my shoulder. It had been years since I had held another female like this. Her jasmine invades every inch of me. I hated it and I loved it.
I couldn't admit what she was to me, but I couldn't let her do something so reckless either.

"Didn't think you liked Lycans?" Neah blocks my gaze as she folds her arms across her chest and narrows her eyes at me. She wasn't going to let this go anytsoon.
"I don't."
