“Of course you can, you dumb bitch. You have Alpha blood coursing through you. Really, Neah, I expected more from you.” “You… you linked me.” “And yet you still haven’t figured it out.” He tosses the apple core off the roof and points to me. “Alpha blood.” As if that answered everything “It was just a game!” I feel anger bubbling inside of me. like nothing I have ever felt before. “Just a fucking game! He takes a step back from me, laughing “Is that it, that is all you think I’m worth! I believed in you. I…” Ishake my head, lost for words.
“So did everyone here. Eric, Klaus, but you were the biggest believer of all. As if twould hide out in a forest all day-watching Alpha Trey’s house for years, no no, my job was far mere important.” – I had been so stupid “You are just going to handover te him?” “Kicking and screaming if you don’t cwillingly.” He shrugs his shoulders “You are a fucking arsehole!” I push myself up on my feet. “I should have let Alpha Dane rip you apart.”
Neah His eyes were on my hand. Weird hollow rasps cout of him as blood trickles down the front of his top.
Very slowly he looks down. Like thad stopped to allow him to process what had happened. His hands shake as he touches his chest, he croaks and his body sways. Without a single thought, I shove him off the roof. Standing still until I hear his body hit the ground with a deafening crack Sitting down, I pull my knees to my chest, letting the cold night air rustle through my hair. I had just killed someone.
I turn my hand over to look at it. it had partially shifted. Dried spots of blood still lingered. Running my thumb over the tips of my fingers, I feel nothing no pain, no sharp edges under my skin. The claws had disappeared as quickly as they cI’m sorry about that, but that prick needed dealing with.’ The voice rumbles through my head, unbothered by what had happened. There was no one on the roof but me. And it certainly wasn’t Alpha Dane who was speaking to me.
You are right, I am far from a man.’ I hear the amusement in her voice Who…who are you?” I’m Nyx, your Lycan. And it looks like we found each other at the right time.” We don’t… You are not supposed to be in my head.’ Its funny what a little Alpha blood and a few bindings can do.’ I was annoyed, if I had a Lycan, why hadn’t she shown herself. ‘Where have you been?’ I’ve been right here, but those fuckers hadshut down.” It was an odd sensation, feeling her roam my mind. ‘The period?’ I whisper Bingo!’ Stunned into silence, I keep my arms wrapped around my legs. Is this what Alpha Dane and the others feel like when their Wolf is talking? You will get used to me, Neah. My job is to keep us both alive.’ I let out a snort. I had done alright on my own until now. Sort of.
From now on.’ She adds By the tthe sun rose, my entire body was shivering. Ionly had on the tee and joggers I had worn to bed. My feet were bare and even though thy body could give off aot of heat it wasn’t enough to combat the sdld night air and I wouldn’t let \y cforward so we could climb down. I was still too afraid to beca monster. I would rather freeze to death ” Neah? Neah are you okay?’ Alpha Dane’s words race through my mind.
Looking over the edge of the roof, I could still see Devon’s mangled body alongwith the people he had ~_ killed. There were no others, the x groundsswere quiet. What aboutthe kids2What about the ones who were toa.dld to take part in the patk run. Where were they? How many had Devon killed? I’m on the roof.’ I mumble through the link “Why didn’t he feel my fear or my panic?” I ask out loud I blocked it. It was tfor you to stand on your own two feet. As much as he is hot, he can’t protect us all the time.’ “You blocked him?” I shout out in annoyance She doesn’t answerand she doesn’t say anything else.
Alpha Dane and the others cout of the forests They halt when they see the dead bodies that surround the packhouse Very slowly, Alpha~ Dane’seyes search the rooftop,>> looking for me. The moment te sees meshe just stares back at ie. He théught I had killed them:I’m coming up.’ He mutters
He expertly scales the side of the house like he had done it a million times before. His feet and his fingers quickly finding ledges to hold on too. As he climbs over the top, he just watches me. “It…it wasn’t me! Well, just Devon.” I whisper. “Did you shift?”
much.
m “No. a little….. She talks soothers?” What about the kids and the others?” X
His eyes narrow at me. “Eric is checking. Who are you talking about?” “Nyx.” I mumble. “In my head. A Lycan.” I was really struggling to get the words out, between her talking toand trying to tellwhat to say and my own thoughts, things were becoming muddled.
He grabs my shoulders, his eyes quickly go to my bare feet and he groans. “How long have you been up here?” “Midnight.” I whisper. I had looked at the clock moments before Devon barged his way into my room.
I cling to Alpha Dane like a monkey as he lowers us back down to his bedroom window. Inside he wraps a blanket aroundand quickly closes the window.
“Tellwhat happened. Telleverything?” He settles into the large chair, watchingwith his crimson eyes I stutter a lot. trying to get all the information out. He just nods his head, lettingget everything off my chest “And claws appeared.” I mutter. “I….1 pulled out bits of his heart.” I urge at the thought of it, remembering how the pieces stuck to the end of my claws. It still didn’t feel real.
“You partially shifted?” He asks when I don’t say anymore I close my eyes and nod. I could hear in his tone that he didn’t believe it. That he thought I was lying. “And you have a Lycan who is talking to you? In the sway as Aero speaks to me?” I nod again, because it hadn’t matched anything that I had learned about myself. Trey never had a Lycan spirit inside of him. Devon said it didn’t happen. Yet here I was with Nyx whispering things in my head.
“Is she talking to you now?” I puff out my cheeks and bob my head.
“What is she saying?” “That you don’t believe me. But…but you can read my mind, you have to know that I am not lying.” “Right?” “But it’s not that you don’t believe me, is it. Alpha Dane. It’s that you don’t think it’s possible forto kill someone like Devon. Even though you can read my mind.” His crimson eyes study me. “Partial shifting is not a thing. But then again, these days, I never know what is going to happen.” I didn’t want to show him, but he was leavingno choice.
Do it?’ I whisper to Nyx. ‘Just like before.’ I actually feel her eyes roll and it was the oddest feeling. I pull my hand out from under the blanket and hold. it out. within seconds, there is a i sharp pain hat shoots through:my entirepody. My hand slowly. transforms, growing bigger.as thick laws inch themselves outof the tips of my fingers. The actual shift didn’t hurt, it was the moment before. It was….strange “How does it make you feel? I turn my clawed hand over, inspecting it. Tufts of dark fur spread up my wrist but fizzled out as it met my human flesh “I don’t know.” I murmur. I had hated the idea ofshifting. Hated the ~ idea thati would becsomething else. Enated how this was kept a secret fromsince I was & kid. But:the partial shift, it saved my life.
See,’ Nyx mutters. ‘It’s really not that bad.’ “You don’t know?” Alpha Dane repeats
I shake my head and my claws retract as my hand shrinks.
I’m sorry about your men.” I whisper, still staring at my hand. “I believed him. When he said Trey was om attacking, believed him.” “You had no reason not to. You fear Trey. If someone tells you he is coming. I wouldn’t have expected any different. I frown because I knew I was an idiot
“He lied tots all. And we all fell for it. I’m just agmuch to blame. I should have known that taking toomarty on a pack run would be a mistake: I put my & ttust in the wrong man. That won’t happen again.” Ashburn >
Dane The bastard had killed eight men. They all had families. Swere older with children of their own, swere younger, freshly graduated and wanting to prove themselves as warriors. It should have been a simple task, protecting my mate.
