He hadn’t realized that she entered the room and looked down at his hands when Diana spoke. They were covered in blood and a dead body on the floor with the scalp laying feet from him. Gabriel hadn’t realized what he’d done until she came in. Everything had happened so fast. All he knew was that this man had something he wanted, something he needed. Something he C R A V E D.

It didn’t seem likely.
Should he try seeking redemption for his actions? Was there any point when he had felt so good? He could feel his whole being changing from what he’d done.
“Did you want something?
