Chapter 292: CHAPTER 292 Unrequited

　　"Rake… I know what I'm supposed to do here. And I do want to help him. But I don't know if I can."

　　"You can. You already have."

　　I shook my head. "That's not what I meant. I mean… I want to see him heal. I want to see him win. I want to root out these wolves my family has been working with. But the idea of surrendering to him again…"

When I left your house and started on my way here, I had to spend the entire time talking myself down from just using his trust to get close and… Honestly, Jesse… I wanted him dead."
