I see the evil glint in his eye. “Kill them all.” I whisper The two Lycans that had dragged Cassandra to me, back up, only to be attacked by Roan and several others.
All hell breaks out as Dane gives the order to attack.
Blood creeps out of the corner of Cassandra’s lips. Her eyes are wide in fear as they remain on me. I wanted to see the blood pour from her, just like she had made it pour from my parents “You deserve this and so much more.” I whisper as my claws retract from her flesh
She drops to her knees as tears fall from her eyes. It was the first tthat I had seen her weep for anything. “You are a monster!” She croaks out. “Iam what you made me!”
My claws plunge into her chest. curling around her heart as shem chokes, With a tud, Xrip it free from her chest. holding it in my hand as it continued to beat for a moment. Her body sways before hitting the ground and when I look up, I see Roan staring at me. His expression, unreadable.
Dane Three days it took to burn all the dead. Three days is how long Trey had been in my dungeons, still clinging to life. Three days where Neah hadn’t spoken a word about what had happened.
She sits in her usual chair in my office, nibbling on a ginger biscuit. MadCurie had been right about them and it was finally settling her stomach enough to eat decently. Though today, instead of her legs pulled up to her chest, they are crossed under her.
Her dark hair hangs around her face and she seems content, but I had a million burning questions about the prick in my dungeons. “I can kill him.” I mutter, without looking up. “If that’s what you are having an issue with, I can handle it.” She doesn’t answer me.
“Neah, why did you let him live? You killed his mate.
She sighs, “He needs to suffer. Why couldn’t they say no to my order? The question takesby surprise. I thought she knew why.
“You were their Alpha. That’s why you could order them. It’s different with Wolves. As you know a Blood bond can mean you respond to two Alphas. There are also cases where Wolves can seek refuge in another pack and pledge themselves to that Alpha. You are the last living Lycan Alpha. There was no one else that they could obey. They had no choice.” “Right.” she mutters, picking up another biscuit “And the sooner we kill Trey, the sooner the other Alpha’s can leave.” She looks up atwith a frown.
“They were called here to protect you and the pups, under obligation of their contracts. Trey is still alive, which means there is a threat still present. They won’t leave until it’s been dealt with.” “I’m not ready.
They were not the words I was expecting to hear.
I stare at her, unable to read her mind. Nyx was still blockingout, making it impossible to read her properly. “You are not ready?” I ask softly as she frowns “You are going to think I’m mad.” “He is the last tie you have to Moonshine. Or rather, your parents.” I had been trying to figure out why she was keeping him alive, especially when she hadn’t even been down there to see him. This was the only answer I could cup with.
“See, stupid.” she mutters “They destroyed you. They beat you, they starved you, they let the pack abuse you.” “I know!” She snaps at”You are struggling with giving up the idea of the life you could have had. The life you now have here. Where you are loved, where you have friends, where you have adopted a sister who adores you.” Her lips tug up at the comers. “My life is messy.
“And I wouldn’t have met you if it wasn’t. But maybe it is tto close the door on your messy past and focus on the future and the pups you are carrying.” She nods her head at me, “Will you cwith me? I’m still not ready to face him alone.” We step down into the dungeons as Trey groans and his stomach rumbles from hunger.
“Look who it is.” He sneers, struggling to get to his feet. His hands coil around the bars as he tries to keep himself upright. Fading bruises lingered on his face and I could smell that my brother had been down here recently.
“Cto get spunches in?” He snarls at me.
Neah doesn’t speak. Her fingers stay tightly locked with mine. Her blue eyes are wide as she stares at Trey. All that confidence she had appeared days ago, has now suddenly disappeared into thin air.
This man put more fear in her than she had ledto believe.
“Can’t speak.” Trey mocks her. “You always did have trouble with your words. Stuttering over the simplest word and now look, nothing at all.” “Shut the fuck up!” I snap. “You have no power over her.” He smirks, “Her trembling body says otherwise.” “You were there!” Neah mutters breathlessly. “You were in the shadows. You watchedput that lemonade in front of them. You did nothing as they bled out.” I realise it’s not that she couldn’t let go. Instead she was still looking for answers.
“You are right.” Trey smirks A small creasBappears on Neah’s forehead agshe closes her eyes. ‘They all knew, didn’t they? The => chaos, the people running around: They soreamed for help and yat-not one-af them tried to help. They all knew, didn’t they?”
“Yes.
A tear leaks out of her closed eyes. “You were planning this for a long time.”
“Since the day y you were born.” Trey tells her withé a shrug of his shoulders. You were supposed tor be the producing more Lycans, more ofthosen who will carry t the Alphaplood. They saw something special in you, but I was the-one to realise what it would meat for our kind. There was hope for us.” “So you lied to her.” I snap “We did what we had to do!” “Why the contract?” I question
