Haunting-Adeline

fucking children and get off on it. They thrive off of it. Do you think any
amount of punishment in this world will ever make up for even one child
they tortured and killed?”
I snap my mouth shut, tears burning my re nas.
“And what’s worse is that despite claiming you as my own, the Society
had already marked you before I even came into the picture. Which means
you are in danger, whether he’s dead or not. Did you know he tried to have
you kidnapped at Satan's Affair? While you were running through Annie's
Playhouse, he was in the middle of siccing his dogs to kidnap you. And I
made sure that didn’t fucking happen, Addie.
“If you thought you had any fucking chance of ge ng rid of me, get it
out of your head. You need my protec on more than you need my cock,
but I fully intend on giving you both.”
My eyes widen and my heart drops. The Society has been targe ng me?
Jesus Christ, what the fuck did I do in my past life to deserve this shit?
I was in so much danger and never realized it. Never even felt it looming
nearby.
Because the man pinning me to the ground kept me safe and protected
so I could enjoy my night.
My lip trembles as he con nues. “He was an evil man, Addie. And one of
the worst things he ever did was put you in danger. The worst thing I ever
did was make it so easy for him to find you.”
The tables have turned. Where I once accused Zade of failing to keep me
hidden from Mark, I am now confessing the harsh truth. He never really
stood a chance against fate.
“You couldn’t have stopped him from no cing me,” I admit on a so
whisper.
“Maybe not, but I brought you further into his sight. I had hoped
claiming you would save you, but Mark was always going to turn you in.
And every motherfucker who even comes within a mile of your house is
going to have my knife in their throats.
“I have never pretended to be a good person. But what I did do was
create my own fucking morals to live by. I will keep killing every deranged
individual who resides on this goddamn planet if it means children don’t
have to die, and you don't have to live in danger.”
