I agree, the flickery eyes gave him away.
“Just tell us!” Dane snaps as he loses his patience He sighs, “Fhe reason I cto find. you before we were called to the. forest. Was because I managedto find.out more about the one who died on their third binding.”. ~~ “And? “Maybe we should do this inside.” “Here is fine.” Dane snaps, annoyed with how long it is taking Klaus to tell us whatever it is he has found out.
He looks around, checking to see if we were alone and I find myself doing the same. His actions were makingnervous. They tried binding her after she becAlpha. That’s what killed her. If they get their hands on you….. “You think they will bindand it will kill me?” I mutter. Nothing is ever simple, is it?’ Nyx groans Klaus lets out a heavy sigh and nods “That’s not gaing to happen.” Dane stares at Klaus. “Do you think I’m going to let her out of my sight long enough for them to grab her?”
Did he just-forget that I left the house ony own? Or that Raven and I went ΟΠΤ & into the forest without him? keep my mouth shut, now wasrot the tto say something stepid “
“Well, no. It’s just, there was talk of how stupid this Trey is. What if it’s all an act? Devon kept saying that Trey wasstypid that Cassandra was behind it all. If you think akout it, it’s probably both of them. What if they just want us to believetthat one isAveaker than the other.
Dane is scowling and I have a headache brewing. “It makes you nervous?” Dane mutters “Of course it does.” I raise an eyebrow at Klaus. He was tall and wide like most of the men here. Though he wasn’t like the others. Preferring to be shut away reading and researching. I don’t think I’ve even seen him training with the others.
There was a moment where I questioned Dane about Klaus really being a Wolf. He reassuredthat Klaus went on every pack run and had done so since he had been in Black Shadow.
“You were bullied.” I mumble remembering what I had been told. “You never knew when something was coming and that’s why this is making you nervous.” His deep green eyes lock with mine. I knew my words rang true.
“I like you, Neah. I don’t want to see anything bad happen to you.” Tell him it won’t.’ Nyx murmurs I repeat her words and Klaus sighs, like he doesn’t believe it. His green eyes slowly move up to Dane. “What do you wantto do?” The news ofaccepting my position travels thick and fast. Dane was inundated with questions and spent most of the afternoon and late evening in talks with his pack.
He had pulled them back from the forest, insisting everyone gets a decent amount of rest and to fuel up while they can.
We didn’t know when they would attack, we just knew they would. So Dane was telling them to sleep while they could. Though he was expecting a lang night.
It was almost midnight when I’m pulled from my sleep. Panic tears through me, this was it, this was happening “Jensons awake.” Dane mutters to me. He flicks on the light, almost blinding my tired eyes. “He wants to speak with you.” “I thought we were being attacked.” My hand is pressed to my chest “Come!” Dane grabs my hands. pullingup into a seated position. He is already moving to the closet to pull out clothes for me.
We trudge across the grounds to the hospital and I couldn’t help but notice how many Wolves were awake and moving around at this hour “What are they doing?” “Prepping the pups.
“You are letting the pups fight?” I ask in shock, disgusted by the idea.
‘No, it wort-be safe here for them >. and I need to preserve my pack. The elder Wolves are taking them to> another location until it is safe to return.” I breathe a sigh of relief. “Jess too?” “That will be up to Jess. She is still an emotional wreck. And technically not part of this pack.” It wasn’t what I wanted to hear. I wanted to know that she was going to be kept safe. She had been thrown into a life that she didn’t deserve. He presses his hand against my lower back, guidingtowards the hospital.
I could hear Jenson talking before we even opened the doors. He was demanding that Raven let him out.
“You are not fully healed yet!” Raven snaps at him as we enter the hospital. “Besides, you wanted to see Neah and she is here.”
As soon ast step into his room, ~= Jenson’sdark eyes lock with mine He told” doesn’t speak, kad they told him2Did he know that I had accepted my position? ~ He knows.’ Nyx mutters
Seconds pass where no one speaks and yet it feels like hours. His onhours. His dark eyes remain onas if he was trying to figure something out. “What are you thinking?” Dane asks him. “It depends. How close are you willing to let them get?” The idea ofbeing bait was changing. I knew it washe was talking about. It’s what they were after.
Dane searches my face before returning his gaze to his brother. “If they get close enough to touch her, you better be prepared for the aftermath.
There was thatwarning tone again.
Low but spiked full of danger. A personal warning to Jenson that it> his plan fails, Dane will kill him. re almostscaredabout how far he waswwilling to go to protect n me. Almost.
Dane “But…” “It’s not negotiable!” I snarl at my brother. There was no way on this plthat I was going to send my mate to her own death. “Dane, you broughtback here for this very reason!” “There has to be another way! I was grateful that Raven had convinced Neah to go for a walk with her. She didn’t need to hear Jenson and I arguing. Because knowing her, she would probably agree to his insane idea “They will know, Jenson. They won’t be stupid enough to think that I’ve abandoned her. They will wait, they will know that sof us linger. They will know that I will not leave her unattended!” “That’s precisely why it will work.” If he wasn’t lying in a hospital bed, he would be feeling the full force of my fist.
‘You were the one who wanted to bring him back!’ Aero mutters “Sometimes, the best plans are the most obvious.” Jenson sighs while refusing to look at”Well find another fucking way!” I drop into the chair next to his bed. I don’t know why, but I expected better from my brother. Surely he knew that I was not willing to play with Neahs life “Just hearout, will you?” He snaps back at me.
I wave a hand for him to continue knowing full well my answer would still be no “You can link her, right?” He asks.
