Page 109 of His Little Devil

Pulling away, she stands, then leaves the room.

The vision changes.

I'm stillin Wellson's room, but he's alone now. I watch as he smiles in his sleep, and whispers, “Snow.”

“So, how about that movie now?”Don says from the kitchen as I come out of my vision.

I want to jump up and tell him that Wellson is going to wake up, but then Silver will know that we lied, and what if that changes the future?

Will he wake up if she doesn'tsee him at that exact moment?

Too many uncertainties and I’m not risking it. I miss my brother.

Walking into the kitchen, Don's holding Silver in his arms, staring into her eyes.

“That was amazing.” Silver sighs, then stretches. Don hands her the fresh bowl of popcorn he conjured.

“Arrow, movie?” Don asks and I nod. We walk back to her room, and settle in for the movie she chooses.

“This was the perfect birthday,” she says, then looks at the door. “I wish Wells was here though. I'd like to see him before I leave.”

“Why do you think you're leaving? We just got you back,” Don says, pulling Silver into his arms and holding her tight. He's becoming frantic and I know this isn't going to end well.

“You’re mine, Silver. Didn't you feel it? The way our souls connected?

“I did, but Donnie… I'm married to the Devil. I live in Hell. There is a reason that the window won't open for me as much as I'm sure the front door would remain closed… Luke is giving me a gift. To spend one last amazing night with you guys, but I'm still as trapped as if I was in the Underworld.”

“I'm not going to stop fighting for you, princess. You were mine first.”

He looks over her head at me, asking with his eyes if I agree with him. I nod and he sighs, relaxing against her.

He's right. Silver is ours. Fuck Luke. Now that I've had her and know she's mine, I'm never going to give her up.

SILVER

I can't sleep. Something just feels off about this place. The air is too still and where is Wellson?

Donnie holds me tighter in his arms and I look up at his face. He fell asleep with a smile on his lips. I wish I could stay, but I know this is only temporary.

It's like some kind of innate feeling inside of me. Warning me that Luke will be coming in a few hours.

Sighing, I gently roll over to face Jax. He surprised me last night. The way he grabbed me and kissed me.

I'm so torn. I love Luke and Kane, but Jaxon Arrow, Donovan Blake and Wellson Birch have had my heart for a long time.

He looks so peaceful in his sleep. There are dark circles under his eyes. I know I'm to blame, but hopefully now they can move on.

I'm meant to rule Hell by Luke’s side. My time in Salem is over.

Carefully, I remove Donnie's arm and wiggle out of the bed. I take one more look at them, then leave the room.

Walking down the hall, I stop in front of Wellson's room.

His presence is heavy here, but something is off about it. Taking a deep breath, I open his door and step inside.

There is a nightlight in the corner of the room, illuminating him sleeping in the bed. But he's too still.

There is a second bed in here and an armchair full of blankets. “I knew something was wrong. Why wouldn't they just tell me?”
