Alpha Damon (Sienna) novel Chapter 344

Her lip curled faintly.

And for the first time in years… I felt something sharp crawl up my spine.

Fear.

She reached past me, her fingers closing around something on the table behind me.

A gun.

My breath caught.

She stared at it for a long moment, then looked back at me, and the corner of her mouth lifted in something that wasn’t quite a smile.

“I wouldn’t have thought,” she said quietly, her voice calm as still water, “you’d be scared of death. Honestly, have all people. I would have thought that you would embrace it when it came to something that was close to battle. At least you would die trying to fulfill your goal. But here you are trying to persuade me with gentle failing words.”

I swallowed hard. My throat burned.

“Delilah,” I tried, my tone breaking. “Please… I didn’t intend to stand against you. You knew who my enemies were. You chose to side against me. You chose to side with them. But I can prove to you that I’ve changed. I can prove to you that it does not have to be this way. You can have everything that you wanted. You always wanted a family, didn’t you? Now you have your sisters. You’re going to have me, a father. You know who your mother is. You saw how cold she was and how she needed to die. You saw that this did not happen simply because…”

But she cut me off as she stepped closer, raising the barrel of the gun to my chest.

“At least,” she murmured coldly, her finger curling around the trigger, “I don’t miss. Because the last thing that I would want to do is keep a man like you alive. It would be such a shame for those who lost their lives for me to actually acknowledge your presence and for everything that I believe in.”
