He sits next to me, his crimson eyes lock on mine and a shiver runs down my spine. “Usually yes, but given that you were unaware of the tie and the fact you are still bound. I don’t know how it will affect you.” “Why would he do it? Why would Beta Kyle do this after makingaccept his rejection?” “That is something I am still trying to figure out. As for calling him Beta, stop. He doesn’t deserve that title and neither does your brother deserve to be an Alpha.” I was a nobody, it was my duty to call them by their titles. It as disrespectful to call them by their names.
“Tell me; when you found out that he was your mate. Did you hope it would change things for you?” I shake my head, still remembering the hate that was in Beta Kyle’s eyes. “It was a nightmare.” “Did your brother know?” I shake my head. “I don’t think so.” Alpha Dane just nods his head, he suddenly reaches out a hand and I flinch. I hadn’t flinched in so long. I had learned to control it because flinching means a worse beating.
Alpha Dane pauses, and then slowly reaches up to my hair and pulls something from it. He showsa little feather.
“Get srest. I will check on you in a little bit.” He flicks on a screen on the wall opposite the bed and handsthe remote. “I’m sure you will find something you like.” I didn’t have the energy to tell him that I had never watched television. It just made my life sound even more depressing.
Alone, I slowly get out of bed and make my way towards one of the big windows and sit in the big comfy chair while trying to ignore the pain in my stomach.
Sitting and mulling over everything I had been told, I couldn’t make any sense of it. Why would Beta Kylen continue to beatif he knew we were still connected? Or maybe that was why, maybe he was so disgusted by it, but then why would he force a blood tie on me, what did he hope to gain from it?
I watch as Alpha Dane appears outside. He walks like he is on skind of mission and a few moments e later Jenson and Eric cfrom another direction, meeting Alpha Dane almost directly in front of the window. The three of them have a quick conversation and then disappear into the trees, out of sight. I wondered where they were going, so I just watch, waiting for them to cback.
“You are supposed to be in bed, not sleeping in a chair.” Alpha Dane’s voice is quiet as he slides his arms underand movesback to the bed. He pulls the blanket up over me, but I try to sit up. “Sleeping will help you get over this quicker.” He gently pushes against my shoulders, trying to getto lie back down. lo.” I push back against him. “Somethings wrong.” “I told you your wound will hurt for a while.” lo.” I mutter sleepily. I couldn’t even make sense of what I wanted to say. “It’s a trick.” I mumble. “I think it’s a trick. “A trick?” I nod my head but my tired eyes remain closed as I fight the sleep demons to tell Alpha Dane my idea. “Get ssleep. we will talk about it when you feel better.” He orders When I woke, I made myself get out of the bed, there was no way I was letting myself get all sleepy again before I had a chance to explain myself. Splashing water on my face. I stare at my reflection in the mirror. My blue eyes were a little brighter and my skin no longer looked as dull. “You’re awake.” Alpha Dane mutters, makingjump. I hadn’t heard him cin. He walks right up behind me, his eyes locked on to mine in the mirror as I feel the heat that his body produces “How are you feeling?” He asks as his hands move to my hips.
I feel my own temperature increase as my neck and my face turn pink. His fingers creep under my top slipping inside the waistband of my joggers edging into my panties as his lips meet my neck and I let out a quiet moan.
“Neah?” My eyes snap open to Alpha Dane who is standing over”You really should be sleeping in the bed, not the chair.” He mutters.
It was just a dream. Just a dream. But the dream didn’t hide the fact that he could probably smell my arousal. So I clamp my thighs together. “Do you need help?” He asks “No!” I blurt out a little too loudly and he cocks a brow at me.
‘I was only offering to help you get to the bed.” I see the small smirk on his lips. He could smell me.
I lower my gaze. “I like to sit here, I like to watch.” I mutter, trying to keep the topic off of my dream. “It’s different.” “Different?” “You don’t expectto do anything. You are lettingsleep for as long as I need. And the food…… It’s just different.” I couldn’t explain it any more than that but he nodded anyway.
“Not everyone is a bastard.” He tellsas he changes his black tee to a red shirt.
He turns back to faceas he fastens his buttons. I was right when I first noticed no ink. Not a single tattoo could be seen, it was strange. Everyone in Moonshine was covered in them.
“Yes?” He asks “Nothing “Neah, I may not have known you for long, but I know when you have a question to ask. Ask!” “You have no tattoos.” “That’s not a question.” “Why?” “They’re not really my style. I know others havethem to show their dominance or to show they belong≫ toa pack But I’m sure you will agree that I don’t need them.” He points to his etimson eyes. “These areenough tc oshow my position in the world. ” He was right, I had never seen another Wolf with eyes like his. Though I thought it was skind of trick, contact lenses or something. “Trick.” I mutter out louder ‘I can assure you that these are my eyes.
lo.” I shake my head. “No, I was thinking about everything you toldbefore I fell asleep. The blood tie and still being partly mated.” His eyes narrow when I say ‘partly mated.’
“What if it S-a trick? You said blood ties allowcthe mate to walk around freely ip the other’s pack. Raventoldthat Moonshine had neverbeen heart I of and you said the bldod tie was 5 recent.” He is just staring at
“You toldthat sof your other brides had been snooping. I haven’t.” I add when I look up at him. “Could they get in, undetected because of the blood tie with me?” It was probably the most I had spoken in one ge since being here. “It’s a good idea, but no. You would have to be a member of my pack officially for that to work.
“Officially? You mean if you mark me?” I ask quietly. He had mentioned it but had said no more since.
“If I mark you.” Alpha Dane confirms.
‘But I can’t do that while you have? % a mate out there. You think the blood tie pain is bad, it’s nothing in. ~ nis comparison to being marked by one yetmated to another. It will kill you.” X

It was a surprise that she had said so much. More than a sentence and she would usually clam up. Maybe she was finally relaxing enough to feel she could talk more freely.
You still haven’t told her we could smell her arousal.’ Aero mutters I don’t need to. I’m pretty certain she has already put two and two together. The rosy skin was a give away.’ I know he is desperate to have her, to claim her. Just as I was, but we had a new problem. Kyle If I marked her, I would watch her die and there would be nothing I could do about it. Neah would be in so much pain as her body burned from the: inside out. I’m cruel, but the Moon Goddess’s rules were on another level.
Her eyes hover on my face. slightly off focus. I knew she was fighting back tears again as she replayed my words in her head.
Out of all my brides, she was the only one who surprised me.
Because she isn’t brain washed like the others.’ Aero muses.
No, but her awareness of our world is limited.’ I mutter back as Neah wipes away a stray tear.
“Are you going to takeback?” She asks in a whisper “Why would I do that?” “”Y… You said that you couldn’t mark me.” “Yet. I can’t mark you yet.” I rise to my feet and turn away from her. “Get smore sleep, Neah. I promise you it will help with the healing process.” “Are you leaving?” “I’m just going to see someone about unbinding you. You won’t be alone. Eric and Raven will be in the house if you need anything.” Meeting my brother in the foyer, he cocks an eyebrow at me. “Bit smart for a meeting with a witch.” “She wants us to meet her in a high profile place.” I look up and down at his jeans and hoodie, “I don’t want to bring more attention to myself than needed. I suggest you go and change.” He returns ten minutes later in a grey shirt and deep blue jeans. “Better.” I mutter The driver is standing next to the limo with the door wide open. I give him the nof the restaurant and he bobs his head. “Do you actually think she can help us?” Jenson asks as the door is closed on us.
“It’s a long shot. Even if she can’t, maybe she knows someone who can help Neah.” “You really like this one, don’t you?” My eyes flicker up to him. He had been warned one too many times about bringing up the women I was interested in.
He zips his lips shut, pretending to throw away the key.
