The Current Situation

Dean's POV: 

So, you all know I helped Elena escape from a deranged Alpha—Kane.

Was it my fault he was deranged?

Debatable.

Technically, the darkness is his. I just help him out. I take it from him, absorb it, let it fester inside me so he can play pretend—so he can be the good Alpha, the noble leader, the protector. But sure, let's all blame Dean, the evil twin, the monster, the shadow lurking in the night.

But back to the issue at hand.

So yeah. I took Elena. Stole her right from under him.

And honestly?

I didn't plan to get intimate with her.

I really didn't.

I swear.

It wasn't the plan.

I just needed to get her away from him, let her breathe, she was after all on heat

But her scent… her blood.

It was intoxicating.
