“You killed him?” His tone is empty, but he continues to stare atlike he had since we first met.

“Yes, he is dead.” I don’t know what it is about this man, but he brings out my irritation just by existing. “That makes you the last one. Well, you and Jess.” I don’t like the way he is looking atand his eyes settle on my stomach. “Do we know what they are?” “Dane’s heirs.” I mutter back “You know that is not what I am asking.” “And still, that is what they are!” I snap. “Unborn members of this pack. Can I ask you a question?” “Ask?” “The bitten, the ones changed, whatever you want to call it. How did they end up in your city? “The sway as they ended up in the city down the road.

“How long have you known there were Lycans?” He stares at me, pressing his lips together.

“You knew. You knew before they started turning up in your city. When you were told, you barely reacted. How long have you known?” He shrugs his shoulders at me.

He’s an asshole!’ Nyx growls “You didn’t cjust because of the contract, did you? “In parts, yes. I don’t walk away from my commitments. Though I was excited to hear that the great Alpha Dane had finally settled down. I was curious until I heard your name. Neah Kitson. It’s not a nyou forget easily.” He rises from the chair.

I frown, taking a step back. “I’ve never met you.” “But you have. A long tago. You were little, a few months old. I was ten, maybe eleven. Your parents were in my family’s city. They abandoned you.” “No, you are lying.” A growl comes from deep inside me.

“It’s the truth. I watched them leave you in a basket down an alleyway. A blanket tightly wrapped around you. The idiots made a mistake there as your nwas on the blanket.” He rolls his eyes and turns away fromas he sighs.

“I took you hto my parents. By the tI got you home, you had already shifted, multiple times.” He smirks as he checks his reflection in the mirror. “A strange little monster, but I couldn’t leave you alone.” I shake my head, it couldn’t be true. I had been bound. I couldn’t shift. “My parents spent a week tracking your family down “You are making it up.

His dark grey eyes find mine. “Moonshine ig situated in the middle of nowheresFar away fromany other civilian life. Far away that nes other packs can easily find it. The houses large, but not as big as mast packhouses. Gardens sit out the I back.” He continues to-describe my old house. MN I feel my heart hammer.

“Your parents tried to say you were kidnapped, but there were no other scents on you. Just theirs. To be honest, they didn’t even seem happy that you were being returned. I begged my parents to keep you. But they said they couldn’t. They said you were a powerful being.” “My parents loved me!” “Are you sure about that? Wasn’t Trey raised as-your older brother so that he couldbe the next Alpha? Weren’t they the ones who had you~ bound twice before Trey did it to* * He rubs I his jaw, “The i impression got from them is that no matter what they did, you kept surviving. Like somehow you weresupposed to. Maybe to lead you to this moment. He points at my stomach.

“You were going to kill Trey and Cassandra?” I whisper

“Not until a couple of years ago, when those who had been bitten began uraing up in my city. At first, wem thought it was Vampires, but > then E they started shifting. I knew whatthey were, I had seen itbefore. Anctit had to have something to do with that pack you belonged too.” “Two years?”

“Maybe more. Their plan had been in It place for a long time, Neah. It was just amped up after you met Dane. They were likely going to breed you until you dropped dead. “All the ones who were bitten are dead now, aren’t they!” I snap “Not quite!”

I realise how quiet the house is, and my heart plummets “Where’s Jess?” He smiles at me.

“What the fuck have you done to her?” “She’s safe, for now.”

Neah “Where is she?” I feel my blood boiling. She couldn’t be far. Klaus said she had been with Eric and Raven. Where were they? He couldn’t have taken them all out.

But then, if he had wounds. They would have healed by now.

I turn away from him. quickly moving through all the rooms on the bottom floor. Roan stays on my heels, followingfrom room to room. Laughing as I discover the emptiness of each room.

“The moment Trey died, the contract between us was over!” He murmurs behind me. Just kill him! Nyx snaps.

We can’t, we have no idea where Jess is. And he knows that.’ “Don’t go getting any ideas from that beast inside of you!” He smirks at”Jess is just a kid.” I snarl at him “I know. That is why I said she is safe for now.

“She is part of this pack!” I snap. “You are breaking your contract with Dane.

“The contract was over the moment you killed Trey. Dane said it himself, when the threat is over, the contract is over. And i am not threatening your pups.” “So what? This is skind of payback? You were the one who wanted Dane’s help and now you repay him like this?” ‘I did repay him. I helped kill the Lycans for both of you and she’s not part of his pack. She is part of your pack. I suggest you tell your beast to step down.

My eyes gave it away, turning black as Nyx pushed herself forward. But shifting right now was not going to help us. Where was Dane? He must be able to feel my panic.

I close my eyes, trying to understand what benefit Jess would bring him.

“It was me, wasn’t it.” I mutter. “You said you were fascinated byshifting, but you can’t havebecause of Dane. So you are taking your chances with Jess. Which is disgusting, you are almost twenty years older than her and she is a kid. She is fifteen!” He doesn’t know.’ Nyx murmurs. ‘He doesn’t know she has a mate. If he tries anything it will kill her.’ Roan shrugs his shoulders at me. “Do you really think I’m bothered by age?” “What are you trying to get out of it. pups? Lycan heirs? He smiles atand I feel sick “She can’t give you pups.
