You truly believe she is our mate? Destined to be with us and no one else?’ I ask I feel it in my bones.’ Aero mutters smugly “You…. You haven’t said anything?” Neah whispers. Her eyes are still low.
Even her little stutter hadturned on ‘I have a few errands to run,” I say as I stand up She bobs her head and as usual, doesn’t question me. However, I do feel her eyes onas I walk out the door. Moving through the house, I could hear my brother arguing with Eric “You can’t be serious, Eric!” My brother hollers “I am deadly serious.” Eric snaps back. “You think just because you are Dane’s brother, I will let you get away with crap. Well not this time. It’s not happening. Regardless of who you are, I outrank you!” “Con, Eric, I will make it up to you.” I frown ‘What the fuck has he done now?’ Aero groans ‘You know Jenson, he has probably lured Eric’s partner into bed.’ Pushing the door open, I glare at my brother. “What the hell have you done now? “Go ahead.” Eric snarls, “Tell him!” “It was ages ago.” My brother pleads. “We got drunk, okay. That was it, just one night. It never happened again.” His dark eyes flash toand I knew immediately that I had been right.
“Seriously? You slept with Kelsie? What the fuck is wrong with you?” I snap Eric and Kelsie had been together since they were thirteen, they had two kids together. Maybe it wasn’t his hands that needed cutting off. Aero laughs at the thought.
Eric was livid even though he hid it well. Eric’s eyes flash at me. “Tellyou are not going to let him get away with this?!” I loved my brother, but he was out of control “Jenson.” I mutter coldly.
“I know, I’m temporarily grounded. Won’t leave the house unless accompanied by you or Eric.” “No, not this time. You have had warning, after warning and you don’t change: To you it is all fun and.~ games: “I keep all of my emotions out of my tone. “So I will givéyou a chaice.”
” – He stares atwith his dark eyes.
“Banishment or.
My eyes flash to Eric’s, he knew what was coming next and even he was surprised by it.
“Or what?” Jenson asks.
“Death.” I state clearly.
His jaw drops open. “Are you actually serious? I’m your brother. You raisedand Raven. Ewill change. I won’t do it again “Clearly I did not raise you well enough!” “All because I slept with his other half?” Jenson scowls.
“But it’s not just Kelsie, is it? What about all of my-brides that you slept with? Wha about all the women that you havebedded that belongtom someone else. It’s almost as if itis a challenge for you. To have thec women that are already taken. Endugh I is enough, Jenson. As said, you have had warning after warning and you have still tried to hit on my bride.” “Bullshit!” He is on his feet. His eyes turning grey. If Aspen wanted a fight, Aero was right here and ready for him
“Really? Whatis the comment you made about Neah being family? Implying that she is to be shared? Raven tellseverything, Jenson If En. you wapt to chase women that don’t belang to you, go elsewhere and do it-tMless with the fucking humans for tent belonggto + sw.ne “Better yet, leave and take Kelsie with you.” Eric snaps “You wantto take your boys?” He asks with a cocked brow. “No, just her.” Eric growls “Bro, you can’t do this!” Jenson pleads with”Eric isn’t the first to tellthis. I have a list as long as my arm. Now your tis up, what do you choose
Jenson shakes his head, his dark eyes wide in shock. “I will leave.” He mutters. “I just…. I just need a few hours to pack my stuff.” He mutters in shock “Supervise him!” I tell Eric.
“Not a problem.” Eric follows Jenson from the office as I link Raven ‘Are you free?’ The news would be better coming from me.
Sure, where?’ Office.” ‘On my way.’ She chirps happily ‘She isn’t going to be happy.’ Aero states what I already know.
‘And that’s why it is better coming from us.” Raven is quick to appear. She’s her usual happy self which means that Jenson was yet to link her. ‘Is this about Neah?” “No. Your brother has been up to his usual tricks.” “You said this isn’t about Neah.” “It’s not. It turns out that Jenson slept with Kelsie.” “Are you serious?” Her dark eyes are wide. “Why the hell would he do that? “It was stago. but has only cto light recently. Raven, he has chosen to be banished. “You’re banishing our brother, my twin?” “It’s gone on lang enough. He has been given warning after warning and he still doesn’t change. Do you know how many complaints I receive every day because of what he does? I can’t fault that he is an excellent Gamma, but sadly, his abilities no longer outweigh his activities.” She folds her arms, “Crap. Where is he going to go?” ‘I don’t know. “You mean you don’t care!” “Of course I care about my brother, Raven. But there are only so many warnings I can give him. If it had been anyone else. they would have been long gone and you know as well as I do, that he has taken advantage of being my brother.” She slowly nods her head and sighs, “I understand.” She’s taking it alot better than I thought she would.’ Aero mumbles and I agreed, but then again. for twins, they weren’t exactly the closest.
“You can stayjr in touch if you feel the need. You are his twin, I will not hold that againstyou. But from this day. forward, he is no longer a membet- ao of this pack. That means not giving him ifo rmation, not telling hi inn of mine or anyone’s location. No filling in on any attacks. Yourte I him nothing. Understood?” sw.ne She nods.
“Raven, I need to hear you say it: “I understand. I will not in any circumstances give him information.” “Good. I believe he is in his room packing if you want to say your goodbyes.” She doesn’t say anything as she leaves.
She will get over it.’ Aero mutters, ‘We have to do what’s right for the pack.’ I wasn’ta complete arsehole. I gave him keys toed car and handed him enough maney that should see hina through fer a few months until he figuressthings out. But essentially, he wason his own because no other pack would take him.
“You made the right call.” Eric tells mas we watch the black ear disappear from sight. “I know. It’s been a long tcoming.” “Would you have killed him if he had said death?”
“I don’t know.” If it had been anyone else, yes Fwould have done, but 2 could I fave gone as far as ending my fave gone brother’s life? Who knows.”What about’ Kelsie? She didn’t leave with hice.” I~
“She’s trying to use our sons as a reason for us to stay together.
Fifteen years we have been together, and she throws it it away on fucking Jenson He looks up at the house where we both could see Neah sat in the chair by the bedroom window. “Good job you got him out before he got to her.” And in that moment, I realise that is all it would have taken forto kill Jenson, finding out he had fucked my mate. “Have you told her yet?” Eric asks.
“About?” “Her being your mate, obviously.” “It’s complicated.” I sigh “It’s a little unfair to not tell her, considering you made her part of the contract.” “She’s still mated to someone else.” “You do want her, right? I mean surely you wouldn’t have brought her here if you didn’t want her.
“I want her, but I also need her to wantand not just because of sfucking matebond.”
Neah
In the kitchen, I find Raven shovelling food in her mouth. Her dark eyes were tearful and her face blotchy from holding back the tears “Aren’t you supposed to be in your room!” She snaps at”I was…. I’m hungry and um…. Alpha Dane said that if I ever was, I could… help myself.” I stutter. Raven had never been short tempered with me. “Are you okay?” I ask quietly.
“Jenson has been banished.” she splutters and the tears break free. “Oh,” I puff out my cheeks as I think of swords of reassurance, but all I could cup with was an apology.
Her dark eyes linger on my face. “It’s not because of you. It’s because he is an idiot. I warned him so many times that Dane would only put up with it for so long. And I’m trying not to cry, but Midnight is grieving for her twin and I can’t control it.” “Your wolf?” I couldn’t remember if it was her or Alpha Dane who had taldthe nof her Wolf.
“Yes, because not only are Jenson and I twins, the Wolves we were gifted by the Moon Goddess are twins too. Midnight knows it was his own fault but still she sobs.
Slipping into a seat opposite her, I frown. I didn’t understand the separate Wolf thing. None of Moonshine had them, well not that I knew of. But then, it wasn’t like they toldanything.
“Can I ask you something? “As long as it’s not about Jenson.” “Is it normal to have another voice, your Wolf, like living inside your head?” She tilts her head to one side as she stares at me. “We all have one. Well, not you, but we all have one. When we shift, they take over and we beca voice to them. It’s a spiritual thing. Surely you know that.” I had already sort of mentioned it to Dane, but alot was going on and I hadn’t brought it up again. “It’s just, all of you here talk about them. My brother never did, in fact I never heard of anyone referring to their Wolf at Moonshine. Is that weird?” “Super fucking weird. If they have a Wolf that is anything like Midnight, who doesn’t ever stop talking, you would soon know about it. Have you told Dane?” “Sort of, I haven’t discussed it because….” I look down at my stomach “and then there was an attack and now he seems to be avoiding me.” ‘I’m telling you, Neah. That is really weird and Midnight wants to know if you have ever seen their Wolves.
I shake my head “You saw us shift and take down that beast. Are you really saying you have seen nothing like that at Moonshine?” “My brother had a rule. Shifting was to be kept in the woods.” “You need to tell Dane.” She shoves a bit more food in her mouth.
