“At the moment, I don't think it’s so much as they fear her. They fear what she might be able to do.” “Particularly Trey and Cassandra?

“They are the only leaders left, what do you think!

“What would Trey want to remind Neah of?"

“What do you mean?” He rises to his feet and stands face to face with me. Only the bars keep us apart. “What does Neah need reminding of?”

He cocks an eyebrow. “I don’t know what you are asking, Alpha Dane. Is she in some kind of trouble again? You have to let me out of here. You have to let me help her.”

“She is my mate.”

“lam aware, but she is surrounded by Wolves. She needs someone who is her own kind. Someone who gets what its like to be us.” “We have been over this, it's her call.”

“She doesn’t know you are here, does she, Alpha Dane? All these late night visits and she is blissfully unaware as you lot try to figure out her past. “Late night visits? I've been down here a couple of times since you have been here.”

“Your bestie comes down here a lot. I believe he is having relationship issues.”

“Why is Eric talking to you about his mate?”

“Sometimes a third opinion is better.” He shrugs his shoulders

“Do you speak about Neah?”

“Nope.

“What do you talk about?”

“Like I said, his problems and in return for me listening. he brings me things.” He gestures to his cell that now had a stash of fizzy drinks along with the bed, clothes and reading material. I would need to speak to Eric about this, not once had he mentioned it.

Devon's fingers curl around the bars. “I swear to you, Alpha Dane, I am not here to hurt her. You know you can make the decision to let me out. You don’t have to wait for my sister to decide.”

I still don’t trust him.’ Aero mutters “Why would Trey and Cassandra go into the city?” I ask, ignoring Aero as well as Devon's pleas to be let out.

“I'm not following.”

"They've kept themselves to themselves. Hidden away from <> other packs. None of us knew of your I kinds existence and now,they are going to neutral territories. Why would they do that?” Content bélongs to ~

‘I'm guessing for the same reason everyone else goes there. Looking for something or....someone. Neah had a run in with them, didn't she?” “Eric got her out.” Devon grins at me, “The hero. I knew he was a good man.”

“He's not interested in men.” I tell him again

‘Everyone € an be swayed, Alpha Dane They just havetohave <> that....ufivertainty.” He winks at ime. ‘Anyway, for Trey and the whore to go into the city, there must be a big reason. A plan of some kind.”

“Could they find her?” “Not Cassandra, but possibly Trey.

“Because of the blood connection?" holds this content.

He nods his head at me. “But they would have already had to have been nearby to know she was theres The saméas me finding Moonshine. I told you I could sense it, but itg@rew stronger the closer I got. It's How I knew I was going in the right difection.”

He places his hands on his hips and struts around the cell, muttering to himself. He comes to a stop and his blue eyes flash up to me. “Who knew she was going?”

“My sister, her tutor, and a couple of other females. And obviously me and Eric.” “All Wolves, right. You haven't got any other Lycans hiding here?” “Apart from Neah. Is it possible she could have told him, by accident. like open up a link between them?”

“Unlikely. The only other option is that they were already there for something else and Neah walked right into it. They won't come here, purely because you have the numbers.”

I stare at him, remembering how he had explained to us how Lycans had come to exist. He said it was a story and no one actually knows, but what if it was the truth?

“Devon, can they create more?
