Eric bows his head and they load the beast back into the vehicle, driving him off towards the dungeons.
She can’t look like that.’ Aero mutters in my head. ‘She just can’t.’ Why aren’t you saying anything?’ Aero demands as I move back through the house.
Things were starting to fall into place. The fact I had never heard of Moonshine until the call came. The secretiveness of the pack. How they suddenly disappeared and kept disappearing. How Neah has never seen them in Wolf form. How the beast had been hiding in a tree. The comments Neah had made about getting their Wolves at thirteen.
What if that was what we were missing? They didn’t disappear, they went up and out of sight. hiding high in the trees, knowing that we wouldn’t be able to find them.
I quietly sit in the chair in our bedroom, watching my mate sleep. Was she one of them and just didn’t know it yet? If I find a way to unbind her, is that what she will become? She’s our mate!’ Aero mutters as though that answered all my questions.
I wake to the ngise of the showe running. Thebed is empty, and Neah’s clothes are piled up on the ~ end of the bed. Looking to the = showety see her, sitting on the ttoor, the waiter cascading down over her small fras she leans agains the gfass. ~ “Neah?” She doesn’t move.
Ripping open the shower door, she has her knees‘pulled to her chest. “I..1 don’ realty remember my parents.’ “she mutters. “Butl see their faces. I… I see the blood ~ runnigg f from their noses and the corners of their eyes. I see the way they claw at their throats a& they splutter up blood. I remember how their eyes locked with mine as they took their last breaths.” N I had been worried that she had felt the breaking of her bond with Kyle, when really, she was reliving the final moments of her parents’ lives. It wouldn’t matter how many times I say it isn’t her fault. She was haunted by the final image of them.

Pulling off my shirt, I step into the running waterSliding myself down the cool tiles’until I was sitting on the floor next to her. In one quick m movement, I pull her naked body onto my lap and lock my arms«’ around her, holding he tightly” against me. Hoping it would be eriough to make her feela tiny bit better. To make her understand that she isn’t alone.
She rests her cheek against my chest, taking a few deep breaths, Her rampant heart slows until it’s beating Ο regularly. I really wanted to fuck her and could feel my cock hardening beneath her. “Let’s get you dressed.” I murmur, much to Aero’s annoyance.
As much as I had needs, now was not the time. Though I was becoming more and more surprised by my own will power. Neah stands completely still as I wrap a towel around her, she sits on the bed as I dig out sclothes for her to wear. “The contract is void, right?” She mutters behind me. “You are done with my brother, right? “Yes.” “So I’m free to go without you killing me?

Turning back to her, she is staring atwith those big blue eyes. Her bottom lip quivers a little as she waits for my answer. I didn’t want her to go, but what if she was one of these beasts? What would I be letting myself in for? e….Are you going to kill me?” She asks again jo.” It didn’t matter what she was. She clings to the towel wrapped around her which was hitched up around her thighs and barely covering her.
“Put these on.” I pass her the sweatshirt and joggers out of the cupboard. I would rather she wore less but it made it a little easier when she was covered up.
Because that’s going to stop you!’ Aero muses Turning away from her, I let her dress. “Why do you think I want you to leave? “I’m part of the contract.” She doesn’t stutter this time, almost like she found it easier to talk towhen I wasn’t looking at her. “You were.” I agree, keeping my back to her. “But I don’t plan on killing an innocent woman.
Don’t you dare!’ Aero growls at me.
“If you want to leave, you can. I will ensure you are set up and will provide you with everything you need.” You fucking idiot!’ Aero yells. He wasn’t the least bit bothered that Neah might not be a proper Wolf.
I have to give her a chance to think for herself.’ I snap at him. ‘To let her make her own decisions.’ “Where would I go?” Neah asks quietly “Wherever you want.” I sigh, it sounded like she had already made her decision. “There are plenty of areas where no packs have control. Mutual zones.” ‘Stop telling her the good things!’ Aero was pacing in frustration. And as much as I didn’t want her to leave, I felt it was only fair to tell her options. ‘Tell her she will be unprotected. That there are more dicks than Trey. Tell her to stay!’ I hear her pad across the carpet and settle into the chair and turn to look at her. The soft blue sweatshirt made her blue eyes pop even more. “Can I think about it?” She asks quietly “Sure.” She brushes through her hair and I catch the scent of something different mixed in with her strange scent. Lavender. Yet the more I thought about it, the more I realised her strange scent wasn’t as strong as it once was Matebond!’ Aero chuckles, ‘About tyou believe it!’ Sometimes, I really wished that Aero and I were separate beings, just so I could punch him Hey!’ He moans at me. ‘I’m not the one who is pretending. Just fucking claim her.’ ‘I have to go and check on something.’tmutter like sfucking school kid who had bumped into thei Kerush, “If you needsomeone will be able to link me: Don’tworry, I’m not leaving the baékgrounds.”
She nods her head atwhile Aero continues to callan idiot. ‘Whatever, we have a beast to interrogate!’ I tell him as I hurry from the bedroom and down the stairs. Before descending the dungeon steps. I could already hear Eric demanding answers, but he wasn’t getting very far, the beast was not talking back.
“What the fuck are you?!” Eric shouts just as I appear.
The man wasin human form and Eric or someone had been decent enough tagive him sbasic clothes.ta wear. The man was = huddledin the corner, but now, without the blood and the smeared mud, I could see that he wasn’t that ofa. Maybe eighteen at a.bush.
“What’s your name?” I ask, keeping my tone level.
“He won’t answer.” Eric mutters. “I’ve been trying all night, he won’t speak.” I turn to look at the young guy in the corner. They had strapped his legs down with chains, giving him little to no room to move. “Are you injured?” I ask The guys still doesn’t look at me.
“Does Trey know we have you?” He still sits in silence.
“Do you know Neah?”
His eyes flash my way. They are blue, exactly like Neah’s. “Is she alright?” στη “You are locked in a dungeon and your concern is if Neah is alright? “Please tellyou got her away? That you got her out of that house? Eric cocks his eyebrow at me.
“Who are you?” I ask, not giving him any information about Neah. “And what are you?” She doesn’t know me, or at least l>.
don’t think she does. My nis.
Devons m her true brother andl’am what’s called a Eycan, the sas E Neah.”
“What the fuck is a Lycan?” Eric snaps “Exactly what you saw. Part Wolf, part human.” His blue eyes move to mine. “Did you get her out?” “What do you mean, true brother?” I demand “Neah only has one brother and Trey isn’t him.
“Don’t bullshit me! “I will tell you everything.” He stretches out his arms “You would be the first.” I snap, losing my patience “lam not loyal to Moonshine. I am a Rogue.” Devon tells us He’s fucking nuts!’ Eric links me.
“Rogue?” It wasn’t a term used among Wolves. You either belonged to a pack or you didn’t.
“Rejected by my pack.” Devon mutters unphased.
“Let’s say you are telling the truth. How does Neah not know who you are?” “The sway as she believes Trey is her older brother.
