I can’t tell if he is lying or not.’ Aero mutters.
Devon points to his eyes. “Our eyes. They are identical, passed down through our mother and her mother and her mother before.” “Anyone can have similar eyes.” I mutter “You are right, they can, but what colour were Trey’s eyes?” He smirks at me. “Look, why would I bother telling you this? “To buy yourself time!” I snap.
‘I’m in a dungeon, I can’t go anywhere.” He mutters with a sarcastic tone.
“Letsee if I can get this straight. You are something called a Lycan. Aman that claims to be Neah’s younger brother. Someone who she doesn’t know. And Trey isn’t related to her’ “Nailed it. Well almost. I didn’t say he wasn’t related. I said he wasn’t her brother!” “Who is he?” “Our uncle!” So she is an Alpha.’ Aero murmurs in shock. ‘Being bound twice was not just because she has the essence of powerful blood. She is an Alpha by birth right. The first born.” Ifit’s even true.” “He doesn’t believe the Alpha role should go to a female.” Devon continues, “He portrayed himself as an older brother because of the bigger age gap between him and my father. The pack agreed with him.” “How do you know all this? ‘I had someone on the inside.” “Had?” “They chere to check Neah had made it here, alive. I believe you killed him.” “He shouldn’t have attacked my Wolves.” “Oh I know. I tald him to be silent and unseen. It turns out, he did neither.” “How old are you?” “Nineteen.” Three years younger than Neah. If he had indeed been removed from Neah’s memory. She wouldn’t know.
“I know you dan’t believe me, but you saw me, yousaw what I look like in Lycan forma My adopted parents got a massive shock when I turned = thirteen.” ‘Bless their souls.” He smiles, his blue eyes shifting back to me=”She doesn’t know what she is, dées she?” He checks his nails, picking dried blood from them “Why didn’t you stop him?” “Trey, I tried, several times. They got craftier. I couldn’t even get near the house.” “They didn’t kill you? “Oh they tried.” He puffs out his cheeks. “Please tellshe is alive. I don’t have to see her. I don’t have to talk toner. I just want to knowthat mys sister finally got out fron@under Trey’s thumb and that sheis safe.” Céntent belongs to “She got out.” I confirm “Is she safe?” “Yes.” “Can I talk to you?” Eric asks, using his head to gesture to the steps.
“Do you think he is telling the truth?” Eric asksthe moment we are outside. ‘I don’t know.
“He wouldn’t say two words to me, yet the moment you cdown, he tells you everything.”
“Keep questioning him.” I mutter. “I need to check out this Lycan shit. “I warn him. “If he is” No violence,” I, N truly her brother, I don’t want her findidg out that you beat hindto a putp.” – “No violence.” He confirms, “As always.”
In my office, Neah is slowly spinning in my desk chair. She doesn’t even hearwalk in and jams her feet into the carpet when she spots me. stopping the chair from turning.
“Are you looking for something?” I ask. The need to tear her clothesn from her body was growing more En: and more intense. She nods, “You.” “You should have got someone te link me.
“I could wait. I’m used to waiting.” She givesa tight lipped smile “How can I help you?’ “If I give you your heir, will that mean I can stay?” Ads by Pubfuture
Neah
His face wrinkled up into a mixture of surprise and confusion. Maybe there was even a little hint of anger there. But I just wanted to know where I stood with him.
My life at Moonshine, although unbearable, was predictable. I knew what I was supposed to be doing and when I was supposed to be doing it. I knew people would cto my room to hit me. I knew that the only food I was allowed was leftovers. if there was any. Here, each and everything was a surprise. They spoke tolike I was actually one of them.
I had thought about it while I was alone. Pulling at every thread of conversation with Alpha Dane. He had said I was the only one he had ever wanted to mark and maybe now that the contract was over with my brother, he would be willing to make a new contract with me.
“Is that what you want? You want to providewith an heir, nothing more?” Now I could hear his annoyance.
I lower my eyes. “It’s what you want isn’t it? Someone to give you an heir. Wasn’t that the idea of these contracts with female Wolves? So make a new contract with me, just me!” I had no idea where my confidence was coming from.
“You don’t need a contract. I have already said you can stay.” I nod, but I knew what Wolves were like, especially the men from Moonshine. I heard them every night. I wanted to make sure that no one here would touch”I see,” He murmurs, “You want a contract for your safety.” “”Y…yes.” I knew I was pushing my luck. He was an Alpha, I had no right to request something from him.
I feel him staring atand kept my eyes low and my mouth shut. I had said what I wanted to say. It was his move now. “No.” “Oh.
“It’s not fair forto draw up a contract and expect you to sign it when you can’t even read.” I feel my shoulders drop with disappointment. I was certain I was making the right move.
‘I will make you a verbal agreement. One year. You stand by my side for one whole year, three hundred and sixty five days and then if we are happy, you carry my heir.” “W…What’s the catch?” “No catch, Neah. It’s as simple as that.’ “What if ygir find your true mate?” A. year was.a long time, I was willing-to carry his heir now and maybe then, the fantasies would stop creeping into my mind.. – “L won’t.” “You….you can’t be sure.” ‘I’ve searched for ten years, Neah. I would know if I had found her. Do we have a deal?” I glance at him and he is watching me, waiting for my answer.
“Isn’t this why you wanted to see me, to make a deal?” He presses “Why a year?” I whisper.
“I think a year serves its purpose. There are a lot of questions surrounding my ability to keep a woman. You know what happened to the others.”
“Who decides when the year is up? What if,something bad happens ity that time? What if.. what if I da> something wrong or can never be unbound?” – He smiles at me. “You ask a lot more questions than Trey ever did.” “I just…”
“You want to be sure.” His smile turns into a grin. “You may not be able to read orwrite, Neah, but you are smart. You really should give yourself smore credit. So let’s try it this way. You act as my mate or bride, whichever term you prefer, for arventire year. During which, you wilkbe protected by the entire pack. I Will teach you how to pratéct yourself. I will search for someone to unbind you. I will provide you with a life that you deserve. I will get yo a tutor so you can learn to read and write. I will provide you with anything you need.” C sa
A life that I deserve. It didn’t seem possible. “Okay.” I mutter in om elmutter inom е agreement Alpha Dane was still smiling, pleased with himself about his new deal.
“Good. Now that is out of the way. You can cwith me.” He holds a hand out expectantly, patiently waiting as I take it. “Where are you taking me?” I mutter, a sudden surge of panic races through me. “I told you, training would start when you are healed.” Walking across the grounds, he keeps his hand on mine. I wasn’t sure if he was trying to make a point or not. Though I didn’t care, his warm hand was comforting.
As we move, I spot Beta Eric, standing outside of a small building with no windows and a single door and quietly wondered where it went. Alpha Dane pushes open a set of double doors that lead into a gym. It was already busy with sweaty men and women “Everyone out!” Aloha Dane orders.
One by one, they grab their things and exit the building until it is just us.
“Right.” He guidesto the mats and turnsaround. “Make a fist.
I ball up my hand and he shakes his head.
“Givea thumbs up.” He waits as I do what I’m told. “Now wrap your thumb around the outside.” He grabs my newly formed fist, “If you punch someone with your thumb on the inside, you will break it. And while you can’t heal, I would prefer it if we don’t have any more hospital trips.” After watchinghit a punch bag a few times, Alpha Dane tellsthat maybe it’s better to teachhow to block attacks first. I would have been more frustrated if I hadn’t agreed. The punch bag had barely moved.
He spends tteachinghow to defend myself from attacks that cfrom the front. But the moment he moves behindand locks his arms around me, I don’t move. Getting lost in the warmth that enveloped”Neah, are you going to try and do something?” His minty breath grazes my skin as he whispers into my ear. A hand is pressed flat to my stomach while the other locks my shoulders in place.
