I couldn’t ignore that

"Let me see" I said it so quietly I wasn’t sure anyone had heardmine for a moment "Samantha"

"Let me see your memories Drop your walls completely and let me see what happened back then This has tormented you for over a hundred years I know it has But I think I can help you learn what really happened"

"What really happened?" Kraven scoffed "Heshiny knife and a pair of fluffy wings for his troubles I remember how that knife felt when he sank it into my back"

It wasn’t until I looked at the demon that I felt a hot tear splash to ether as if whatever expression was on my face was the exact opposite of what he’d expected

"Don’t look at me like that, sweetness I don’t want your pity"

He called it pity I called it empathy "You’ve suffered all this time, too, but for a different reason You believe the brother you loved more than anybody else betrayed you for so for him, I know you would have Even now, you can’t help yourself when it comes to Bishop--"

"Adam," Kraven bit out the name "And he can’t even admit to his own daets in trouble You still want to save hier You can tell yourself you hate hiet the chance toto yourself Theht--no h, Kraven"

"I areed "But not when it comes to Bishop You still love him, you can’t help it That sort of love is unconditional, even if he hurts you Even if hekills you" I turned from Kraven’s now stricken expression to look at Bishop "Will you let htor even if it’ll work It’s always been accidental before"

Bishop was silent for so long I was certain he was ready to walk away and try to forget about this

But finally, he nodded "We can try"

"This is ridiculous," Kraven said, but there was an edge to his voice now So raw and pained that went miles deeper than the surface This pain he felt toward his brother went right to the center of his entire being "You two have your sexy little s to do"

When I reached out and grabbed his wrist he turned a very dark look on me that once would have scared me to my very core To be corip on hi anywhere"

He raised an eyebrow "I’m not?"

I shook my head "It’s time for the truth Are you ready to see it?"
