He opens up Qne of the books. “This one.”
He seeped really pumped about finding this information. “It _ talks abgut how Lycans showed — themselves to humans around five centuries ago. That there was 3 war between them. Alot of bothsides lost lives but ultimately, the humans won.”
“Okay.”
“There is no mention of Lycans being wiped out, Dane. Just that they won. Don’t you see, Dane, they survived.”
“We can’t say that. Not when I have never cacross any.”
I had made deals with a lot of packs and none of them had anything hidden so deeply like Moonshine had.
He shakes his head, opening up the other book. “This one talks about the war too, but this one says the Lycans won the war.”
“If Lycans won the war, there likely wouldn’t be any humans.” “That’s what I thought but there’s more. This one says the Lycans won the war, but they knew they didn’t have the numbers to take on the world after losing so many in the war.”
He smiles and then frowns.
“They wanted tto repopulate and they couldn’t do that with humans knowing about them. They went into hiding. Leaving the humans to believe that they won.
Hiding? Where?’ Aero mutters and I repeat the question to Klaus “It’s not specific. I’ve searched the book and there is no mention of it. Just that it was important to keep the knowledge of Lycans quiet.
“Why were we not taught anything about this war in school?”
“Think about it If they wanted to go into hiding, le last thing they needed was Shumans or Wolvesdiscovering information years down the line,”
His deep green eyes flicker up to fine, “We were told abqut a war; Dane if you remember your Higtory.”
“The Great Wolf War.”
He nods his head. “It was known as that, but what if that was just a cover up. I feel like such a fucking idiot. Of course the Lycans worked to wipe out all information. But then why would someone write a book?”
I cock an eyebrow. “It probably wasn’t supposed to end up there. It was likely supposed to stay with the Lycans”
“You are probably right.”
He taps the book, mare excited than ever. “The guy whe wrote this kept talking abot’ the importance of a blood line. His-blood line to be precise. “
He closes the very old book and hands it to”The War.”
By Aldous Kitson.
Ashburn
Kitson, it was a rare name. Cf all the Wolves and the very few Lycans I had cacross, Neah was the only one with that surnleft. “An ancestor?” I murmur, turning the brown book over in my hands.
“I would say yes, just by the way he talks about bloodlines. Neah is a female Alpha, her genetics had to cfrom somewhere.”
“Are the Lycans a threat?”
‘I don’t know.”
He mutters. “It talks about them rising again, but it was centuries ago, Dane. And all of those would be long dead. So it would be descendents.”
“Damien has always believed there are more out there. Are you tellingthat my mate was not just the leader of Moonshine but is the leader of every Lycan out there?”
He nods his head at me.
“Have you told anyone else?”
“No, I cstraight here.”
“Good. keep it that way. I need to figure out my next step.”
More Lycans, would they be a threat to our kind? What if there are more like Salem? Too feral to think straight. “She couldn’t control Salem.”
I mutter, “Not completely.
“Damien toldsomething about that. It’s something to do with the rejection. Like Jenson, Jenson rejected you as his Alpha and rejected the pack too. It’s likely that Salem did that but possibly long before he met her. I’m not sure anymore. New information is seeping out everywhere.
“Do you really believe that?”
He sucks in his cheeks. “I only really believe what I read and what I see for myself. ‘I need to speak to Damien.
Klaus followsupstairs. Knocking on Raven’s door, I call out to Damien, only to find him stepping out of the room next door where Dorothy slept now.
He yawns and looks at his watch “A bit early isn’t it?”
I ned to the door he is pulling closed, “She okay?”
“Still a few nightmares. She’s getting there.”
Damien sits in the chair in my office, his legs spread as he leans forward and rests his elbows on his thighs. “So I was right. “It seems that way, yes. Why, why did you think there are more?”
“Shortly before I was bitten, Cassandra would talk to me, tellingit was such a shthat I wasn’t a true Lycan. Muttering something about how I would have been a good specimen in the Lycan pool but because I am a bitten Lycan, I wouldn’t be as good as the true thing.”
He chuckles. “If only she could seenow.
“That doesn’t imply there are more.”
“You’re right. But when I questioned her, she didn’t really givean answer. To me, that suggests there was and is a lot more than I know about. A lot more than any of us know about.
“But you have been around, you’ve never cacross any?”
“Cther than Mallory and the Rogues, no. Even when I was hunting for Salem, I didn’t cacross any Lycan scents.”
“So it could just be a load of bullshit.”
“Ccn, Dane. We all know you don’t believe that.”
Damien shakes his head at me. “What if they have found a way to conceal themselves? “You are talking about masking their scents? “Yes.”
I look over to Klaus. “What do you think? “Maybe there is an element of truth in his words,”
He shrugs his shoulders “So there could be, what, hundreds more? “It’s a big country, they could be hiding anywhere. Didn’t you tellMoonshine hid up in trees?”
Damien presses I nod.
“What if they went the other way? What if they went underground?”
They both fall into silence. Waiting forto speak.
“We are not going to do anything.”
I mutter after discussing it with Aero.
They both raise their eyebrows atin surprise.
“Neah will, be giving birth in about a month. We have enough shit going on with-Salem and the possibility that he might return. Plus you have Dorethy. I don’t need anymote crap right now.”
“But…”
Damien starts
‘No. I’ms ihwatehing my mate constantly for any change. What do you think finding.qux there are more butt Lycans out there will do to her? She doesn’t need itand I sure ashell dost need it.”
id “They are her kind. Your soon to be born pups kind.”
“I am doing what’s best for my mate and you need to keep your mouth shut. I mean it Damien, if a single word of this gets to her you will regret it.”
He snorts.
“You haven’t seen the things I’m capable of. And I will do what I need to do to protect my mate.”
My eves flicker to Klaus who had already lowered his head in submission to my tone, but Damien stares back at
“Fine.”
He snaps. ‘But I’m telling you, this will backfire. If I have learned anything about your mate, myAlpha, spe fueking hates secrets. Now if you-wil excuse me, I need tego and check on Dottie.”
– He slams my office door shut behind him If the situation were different, I probably would go looking. Just to get answers for Neah. They had been in hiding for centuries, it won’t hurt for them to stay there.
