“Crap.” Raven pulls off her jacket and wraps it around me. It barely covers anything, but at least didn’t have to walk around completely naked. She rushes over to Jenson who hadn’t moved since he hit the tree. “Is he….is he dead?” I whisper.
“No, but it looks like he may have broken his back, it’s why he is still out. It takes a couple hours to heal. I have to link Dane.” I nod, and refocus my gaze on the dead Lycan. Apart from the five small red dots on his chest. it looked as if he was sleeping.
‘He won’t Wake.’ Nyx mutters. ‘The heart is pterced, blood is slowly, leaking, Out into the cavity. she lets out asmall laugh and I have to-do everything in my power not to laugh. with her.
I had been afraid to shift. Afraid to becthat monster that attacked the pack. But standing here, over the dead Lycan. I realise it had felt. Freeing Footsteps churtling towards us. Alpha Dane appears with Klaus. Their eyes immediately go to the dead Lycan. Neither of them speak as their eyes refocus on me, taking in how I am only wearing a jacket.
“You shifted?” Klaus asks quietly. “Fully?” I don’t move.
“She did.” Raven splutters. “She shifted and she killed him without hesitation.
“Jenson?” Alpha Dane asks, his eyes momentarily leave mine to look at his unconscious brother.
Raven repeats what she has told”Klaus, help Raven take him to the hospital.” As soon as they have left, he pulls off his own shirt. replacing the jacket Raven had given me. It was longer, skimming my thighs this time. His finger settles under my chin and he tips my face up to look at him. “You enjoyed it, didn’t you?” I didn’t want to say yes. I didn’t want to tell him that I had never felt more powerful. I didn’t want to say that I would kill the Lycan a hundred times over if it gavethe samount of joy that I had just felt. I didn’t want to admit the truth to him.
His lips brush my cheek, his hot minty breath grazes my skin. “You don’t have to say yes. I can read your mind.” He steps away fromand grabs the Lycan by it’s ankles. dragging it across the ground and through the trees. “Where….where are you taking him?” “I need to get rid of him. I can’t have them littering my part of the forest.” I follow him through the trees to a clearing and Alpha Dane quickly sets fire to the body. It goes up in flames quickly. The scent of burning flesh quickly ripens the air.
Alpha Dane moves away from the body and stands behind me. His arms loop around my waist and his lips quickly find the mark on my neck. “How many more will come, Alpha Dane?” I ask quietly as thick smoke fills the sky.
“I think it’s about tyou stop callingthat. don’t you? You have more than earned your place here.” it felt wrong to-drop the ‘Alpha’. I had spent years faving it drummed intoto respect people of power. If I-> didn’t, it § Would be met with a slaps y only stopped calling Trey and Kyle by their positions because II was ordéred to.
“You are an equal.” He murmurs in my ear. “You are an Alpha.
He turnsto face him, his hand pressing against my lower back as he holdsclose to him. His crimson eyes search mine. “You…you didn’t answer my question.” I refrain from saying his nand he knew.
His lips curve up. “Because there isn’t an answer.” “You are…you’re waiting on me?” I sigh. screwing up my nose as the burning flesh grew stronger.
“Yes.” “Why didn’t you tellthat I was part of the plan, that you are relying on me?” Because he thinks we can’t handle it!’ Nyx snaps.
шо.
‘I wanted you to be ready.” Alpha Dane murmurs. He combs a strand of my hair behind my ear. “As much as I love this darkness in you. You this have to be ready. We don’t know what they will throw at us.” I stare at him, feeling the heat of the flames behind me. Maybe this was the only way. I will always have your back.’ Nyx murmurs I push Alpha Dane away as I take a step back. “I, Neah Kitson, accept my position as Alpha of the Lycans of Moonshine.

My heart beats.so loudly that it makes my bédy vibrate. Voices echo in my head, Sounds of anger, apnoyaniee, all shouting at me. Nyx workshard to shut them down blocking out each individual antil I hear a familiar voice. O “We are coming for you.
Neah I hadn’t heard Trey’s voice since the day we returned to Moonshine. It sends a cold shiver down my spine when it rattles through my head. My body involuntarily trembles at his words because every word had always inflicted fear.
“You hear them?” Alpha Dane asks quietly? I nod, “Alp……” I trail off when he cocks his eyebrow at”Equals.” He mutters. “You can’t go around calling everyone Alpha, Beta or whatever now.” His lips curve up. “You are far past that. You are an Alpha “D….Dane,” I splutter. It sounded so weird, and wrong rolling off my tongue without the Alpha in front of it. “Nyx is shutting them out. But Trey broke through. They are coming.” I turn back around to look at the body that is engulfed in flames. The bones had almost been licked clean, and the sneaking idea of doing the sto Trey and Cassandra pops into my head. I wanted to make them feel every inch of pain that I had felt. Burning them alive might just work.
I didn’t feel like that little shy girl anymore.
I knew Dane was listening to my thoughts, he always did when I went quiet or when I was deep in thought. His hand catches mine, his fingers quickly lace with mine, locking us together. He leans in close “As much as I want to fuck you right now, we need to go and prepare.” He seemed to love this weird dark side of mine that creeps in. Dane pullsthrough the forest at a quick pace. His eyes constantly move to make sure we were not heading into danger.
We break through the trees, back into the main pack area. Klaus is heading straight towards us. His arms swinging by his side with a force that seems to be propelling him “Jenson has broken his back in two places. He will probably be out for the rest of the day.” He tells Dane as he comes to a stop. Yet his deep green eyes keep flickering to me. Did he know? “Two places?” Dane confirms Klaus nods his head. His usual bun has been pulled out and his long dark hair hangs around his face, making him look murderous. “He will be out for a while yet.” His eyes move down to our interlocked hands, “What’s going on? Did you deal with the body?” Dane nods, “They are coming. We don’t know when, but they will be coming. Jenson was right.
Klaus’s green eyes settle onproperly “You’ve accepted, haven’t you? That’s how you know they are coming.” I slowly nod my head at him, because he didn’t sound happy when he askedthe question. It felt almost like an accusation “What’s wrong, Klaus?” Dane questions “Nothing, I…. I’m just surprised, that’s all.” “Surprised? “After everything that has happened. I guess I didn’t expect….,” he frowns. “I guess I didn’t expect it to happen.” He is hiding something.’ Nyx murmurs.
