Chapter 10

Dorian

A fter two days of absolutely nothing, Raven finally emerged from her house and went straight to work. She looked like she was on a mission when she marched her way through the parking lot, and while I have no idea what’s going on, I plan to find out.

Her phone hasn’t had any movement other than incoming calls and texts since Friday afternoon, but she’s up and moving around now. That’s a good sign, at least. I scroll through my phone while I stake out the law firm she’s employed at and begin shopping for The Hunt. Everyone will need masks, and Raven needs that special outfit that will mark her apart from the other prey. It will mark her as ours.

As I scroll through different Christmas outfits, I’m interrupted when a phone call comes across my screen.

“What do you need, Malachi? I thought you had everything under control for today.”

“Yeah, I fucking got it, you prick. I'm just letting you know everything is done and ready for the night. I’m going to grab some early dinner so I’m good to go for my shift tonight,” he spits out quickly before hanging up on me.

Brother is fucking on edge. Not sure why. I know he enjoyed fucking her multiple times the other night. Maybe it just has to do with excitement. I know I’m ready to chase our little death angel through Sica Hollow. I’ve never been more excited in my life.

I hit order and put my phone away just in time to watch a very pissed-off Raven storming out of her office with an arm full of files. Not going to lie. I’m curious as to what is in those files, but that part of her life is none of my business. It’s not like it’ll be her life for much longer. Might as well let her do her thing for now.

I put my car in drive, making my way out of the corner of the parking lot to get in line behind her about two cars back so she doesn’t see me at all. She swerves in and out of traffic as she makes her way through, and am only slightly surprised when she stops at the local grocery store. I pull into the parking lot and find the perfect spot with a line of sight so I don’t miss her leaving.

Grabbing my phone, I pull up my orders and send a screenshot to Malachi, who immediately responds with a winky face emoji and a thumbs up. I'll take that as an approval of the purge masks and how I made sure to upgrade them to get the ones that have the LED lights built in. Or maybe it has to do with the barely there outfit I picked for Raven. A super short cropped top sweater that ends just above the tits, a micro mini skirt, crotchless panties, and her iconic black x pasties will be perfect with the doc martins I picked out. Not jack shit will be covered, but fuck is she going to look amazing in this. The fact that the shirt says “Fuck Me Daddy” makes it so much better.

My phone hits the seat next to me, and I tap the steering wheel and wait. This woman is taking for fucking ever. Part of me wants to text her and tell her that she’ll only need dinner for tonight since anything else will mold in her absence, but there’s no fun in spoiling the surprise. But just as I’m about to walk inside and check on our little death angel's whereabouts, she struts out with bags full that she drops into the passenger seat of her car and then climbs in to drive away.

Hopefully, she won’t be making any other stops. I’m getting bored and have better things to do.

I continue to follow behind her, keeping Malachi updated the whole time, and just when we are a few blocks away, I make sure to let him know to finish up and lock up.
