The office door is suddenly thrown back on its hinges as Jenson barrels in. He doesn’t even acknowledgeand leans on the desk. The men stare at each other and I knew instantly the conversation was being held through mind link. That is not a good sign Alpha Danes’ eyes momentarily flicker to me. It was quick, and if I hadn’t been paying attention, I wouldn’t have seen it. “What’s wrong?” I mumble, half wondering if I actually wanted to know. Jenson turns around to look at me. “The Lycan that has just been taken down asked to see you.” “M….me?” ‘Stop panicking!’ Nyx snaps. * Ask him why?’ “Why… why did he want to see me? “That’s a good question. And it isn’t a he.
‘It’s… it’s only ever been men that have turned up. Was she bitten?” He nods his head. “I think it will be a good idea for you to talk to her.” “She’s alive?” I splutter in shock. They hadn’t even hesitated to kill any of the others, why didn’t they kill this one? Alpha Dane moves around his desk. “Neah, she’s a kid. There are certain lines I won’t cross’ “A kid? “Fifteen to be precise.” Jenson sighs. “She is saying that she was dropped off by a blonde woman. Told to walk through the forest and to not turn back. And to ask for someone called Neah.
“Cassandra?” “She didn’t give a name, but yes, likely. She is very emotional. She is tired. She wants to go hto her parents. She is very confused.
She’s a kid, Neah, we can’t ignore her.’ Nyx murmurs “Where is she?” Tears are brimming in my eyes and I have no idea why. I didn’t know her and yet I felt so sad for her, she was turned because of”With Eric.” Jenson tells”Are you sure you want to do this?” Alpha Dane eyescarefully.
I nod my head while sucking my bottom lip between my teeth. Jenson leads us across the grounds towards Beta Eric’s house.
“He took her to his home?” “Smaller place to keep an eye on her.” Jenson mutters Beta Eric opens the door to the three of us, just like everyone else, he looked exhausted. “She’s cried herself to sleep.” He gestures for us to cin. A young redhead is laid on the sofa, curled up in a small ball, much like how I used to sleep back at Moonshine.
“Has she said anything?” Alpha Dane asks “Her nis Jessica. The last thing she remembers I is going shopping with her fiends before she woke up> in the catof s’hoity toity’ = woman. ). Then the tears started. agaitand about five minutes-ago, shecrashed out.”
‘Why would they turn a kid?’ Nyx asks. “This is low.” Beta Eric murmurs as he drapes a blanket over the redhead “We all know that they don’t care how low they stoop.” Jenson mutters We let her have-a good thirty minutes to Aap before Beta Eric wakes her. The tears flow the = <> momentshe sees all of us staring” at her. Ashe sits up and brushes-her shoulder length hair behind ter ears. S& the bite mark on her neck..
“Jessica?” I ask softly. I knew what it was like to be surrounded by these men, to feel way out of your safety zone “Jess.” She whispers and her soft blue eyes dart around the room “Jess, I’m Neah.”
“What’s wrong with me? I’m…. I’m hot….1 feel sick I want my mumah promised her I would be hfor dinner” Big fat tears roll down her face which she quickly brushes away. She doesn’t know.’ Nyx mutters.’ She doesn’t know what’s been done to her.” “Can someone takehome?” She continues to weep.
“Unfortunately not.” Beta Eric mutters. “It’s not safe for you at the moment.” She lets out a little whimper as Alpha Dane gestures forto follow him outside. “What do you want to do?” He asks “Me?
He nods his head at me. “The girl has no idea what she is, or even where she is.”Why would they do this? Why would Cassandra do this?” “They are appealing to your heart. The men are not working, and they have just discovered that someone has found their way in.”
“I hate them.” Neel my hands ball up into fists as-{close my eyes. “They ruined mynife and ruined they have ~ young girls too, Who i is what,mever going to be able tago homeagain? Never going to be able to-see her family and friends?” “Do you believe her?” “I smell her fear.”
Dane Anger resided heavily in her heart. Even after everything she had been through, Neah was never this angry. It was odd but fascinating to see the fire in her eyes, all because of this girl.
She leans back against the wall of Eric’s house. Tilting her head back to stare at the blue sky. Her body slides down until her ass hits the grass. She had so much anger and she had no idea what to do with it. No idea how to channel it.
“Jess will be fine.” I mutter, I wasn’t just about to throw a kid out on the streets. A kid that knows nothing of what she will becand I couldn’t risk returning her to her home. Her first shift will be a nightmare and if she doesn’t kill her family, it would be a fucking miracle.
“Right.” Neah murmurs. Her eyes are almost a solid black “Someone here will take her in. I won’t throw her out. “This won’t be the first. will it? He will change more kids, and send them our way.” She looks up at me. “I knew he was bad, but this? This is sick, this.” she trails off, unable to streamline her thoughts “What he did to you was sickening too, Neah She quickly brushes her cheeks, ridding the tears before they had even appeared.
“I want him dead, Alpha Dane. I want them all dead.” “I know. And I am working on it.” His death needs to be slow.’ Aero muses. ‘He needs to feel every inch of pain that he has caused others. Neah needs her revenge.” The door is pulled open. “Guys. I could really do with your help.
I hold my hand out to Neah, she pauses, eventually taking it and gets to her feet. I notice how her eyes are almost blue again.
Jess is sobbing, her hands pawing at her skin as she examines the mark on her neck. “What…what did they do to me? Neah seems to freeze. Jess’s words were probably something she had said to herself over and over. To hear someone else say it, it was probably causing flashbacks.
“Jess, cand have a seat. I need to talk to you about something.” I try to keep my tone warm. Her soft blue eyes catch mine and I see her gulp.
“Please sir, I just want to go hto my family. To my mum and Dad, to my little sister. Please? I won’t tell them anything. I won’t…” Her fingers dig at her neck “We can explain that to you.” I offer, keeping myself calm and trying not to scare her anymore than she already is.
Her eyes search my face and more tears roll:down over her cheeks. Efic gets hera tissue, but she just stands there,staring at me, not even trying to hide her tears. “I’m not… Ln not going home, am I?”
It’s not as simple as that, I’m afraid.” She wipes the sweat from her NN hairline. Eis quietly moves to the open. seat at the table. Tuckings” strands of her red hair behindher ears. “Please, please don’t. Hurt me.” “I’m going to tell you something that you probably won’t believe. All I request is that you have an open mind. “Your eyes are so weird.” She wipes the snot from her nose as she tries to control her racing heart. Crimson eyes would be strange if I were human.
“The bite on your neck was from a Lycan.” There was no point circling the issue She closes her eyes and shakes her head. “Like….like the stories.” “Stories?”
