All sets of eyes are onas I wait for someone to answer. “You you can smell them? Alpha Neah asks En.
quietly. “Yes. For a few days now. “I can’t.”
She looks over at Dane whe is still frowning and slowly returns her gaze to me. “How… how can you?”
‘The sameway as I was ableto 2 m track mybrother through the forest. The sway as how Dalways. knew where the other Rogues \ were hiding. I can smell Lycans.”
Raven “Wait.”
It was alot of inforamtion in the space of a minute. “I have a million questions. So it wasn’t because he was your brother?”
“It was both.”
Damien mutters back. “If he hadn’t been my brother, I still would have been able to track him “I didn’t think Lycans had a scent when they shift.”
I glance at Neah who still has her head down. A deep frown etched into her brow. “I thought you found me, because of me?’ In the second that those final words left my mouth, I knew I sounded needy, and in front of everyone. Midnight laughs which does not help Damien stares atwith those dark eyes and I fight the blush creeping up my neck. “Of course we do. It’s just subtle.”
Damien replies. “But nevertheless, it is there.”
“Subtle?”
Dane asks “I don’t know what else to tell you, Dane. Would you rather I had not been able to scent my brother? “Of course I’m not saying that.”
Dane snaps.
“Alpha Neah, tell them. Tell them that we have a scent in Lycan form.”
Damien looks for confirmation but Neah is staring at her stomach.
Gently nudging her, she looks up and blinks a few times as though she is trying to remember the conversation. “I can’t smell them. Why didn’t you tellI was carrying Lycans? Damien tilts his head to one side. “I thought you already knew.”
Neah opens her mouth to say something. Not a single word leaves her lips. Instead, she gets up and hurries out of the room, Dane following closely behind “To us, they have a Wolf’s scent, but only if they are in human form.”
Eric tells him. “When they shift, we can’t scent them.”
“And the Alpha? Is what she saying true?”
“Yes.”
Klaus replies “She trackedin the forest, better than Dane and you.”
Damien gestures at Klaus. “She had to have known.”
Eric shakes his head. “Though she spoke of how her legs carried her through the forest to find you. That she had no clue where she was going, just a feeling. Nothing to do with scenting you. Although she can now, because you have pledged your loyalty to her.”
‘We really need to ask him about that.’ Midnight murmurs “And Jess.”
Klaus adds. “She can scent Jess too.”
“I tried to look into it.”
Klaus murmurs. “There is limited information on your kind. We are pretty much learning as we go.”
“Something to do with her being bound in the past?”
I ask “Possibly.”
Klaus replies. “Maybe not every ability of hers is unlocked yet.”
“Ability?”
Damien asks “She can partially shift.”
Eric tells him I watch as Damiens eyes widen in surprise. “That’s new.”
“It did take long enough for Nyx to make an appearance.”
I add “Who is Nyx?”
Damien is looking at all of us, like he is missing something.
“Neahs Lycan.”
I frown at him. I thought this would be something he already knew. But then again, he was abonverted Lycan. What he knewis what he had learned
Eric explains it to him. Damiens head slowly moves up and down as he takes in the information.
“So all Alpha’s?”
He asks
“No, just ones born in the blood line.
So Dane,and Jenson, in this pack.”
I tell him. “Neah too, obviously. “It explains who you were talking to in the forest. What about that prick in the dungeon, he has an inner spirit?”
“No. His father took over as Alpha a long tago but wasn’t blood related to the original Alpha.”
“But you won’t be an Alpha? Nor will Jenson? ‘Jenson and I have a different N mother.to Dane. So the gene was still passed to us. And I’m glad: wont be. I don’t want to havetto deal with that.”
“Guys, as much as this conversation is interesting to you. We are losing the point.”
Eric snaps
Damien leans. back in his chair, his dark eyes stilfon me, a hint of a smile on hissips. Why was it that anytfie learned something new about mre, we were surrounded-by other,people? He couldn’t say- How he-tea ly felt or he could, hejust chose not too, like what he-had to Say was for my ears only.
“The point of this conversation was to decide my brother’s fate. Correct?”
Damien mutters. “Well that has been decided. So are we done?”
“Yes.”
Eric retorts “Good. If you will excuse me. I have things to do.
Damien walks around the table and picks up my crutches. Holding them out to me, he doesn’t speak. he just waits.
Slowly getting to my feet, I take them from him. With the smallest of head movements, he gestures to the door. He walks ahead of me, slowing his pace and allowing tforto catch up. “Where are we going?”
“Somewhere where it is just you and me.”
His voice is low and full of intent.
He leadsto the hospital. It wouldn’t exactly be the place I would have chosen, but at least we would be alone.
As we get close, I see his expression change. The lustful look in his eyes, long gone. “Stay here.
“Why? I thought “The girl. She is in the hospital.
“Jess?”
I call after him as he hurries on. Why would she be here? She hasn’t had any breakdowns since she first got here.
He pauses when he is standing outside the doors and glances back atbefore disappearing inside. Seconds later, there is a gush of air almost knockingover as my twin charges pastand into the hospital Making my way over, I’m hit with the metallic smell of blood and my brother yelling at Damien. “What the fuck did you do to her?!”
“She was already like this.
“Fucking liar. I told my brother we shouldn’t trust you.”
