“Just help me understand. You are the natural Alpha of Moonshine. why will they not bow to you?" Roan asks Neah. “You have the power. I can feel it. it's fucking strong!”

The Alpha’s had been here for two days and they still kept circling this question. Especially Roan. He was fascinated by the idea of a female Alpha and he always found a way to be present. Asking the same questions, trying to get a different answer.

“They don’t believe in a female Alpha.” Neah replies, exasperated

“Yet, they still want you.” He leans against the wall. “They are so desperate to get you that they are creating pricks that don't know how te handle themselves.”

She gently thumps her head against the desk, tired of the same questions, “They want me because I will produce more Lycan Alpha's for them.

“The two that are leading the campaign. The male is her uncle.” I tell him, “the female is his mate. We believe they can't have kids and that is why they kept Neah alive.”

“So you thought it was a good idea to put a pup in her?” He cocks a brow at me “I did.”

“That's ballsy. What if they try and keep one of the twins for themselves? You must see the flaw in that plan, right? I know you, Dane. I know you have one of the best war planners in your pack, was this his idea or yours?”

“Does it matter? You are here to protect them.” “It's a dangerous game you are playing, Dane and you are putting all of our packs at risk.”

Fucking idiot.’ Aero mutters. He hated how Neah was being questioned. He hated how our word wasn't good enough for the Alpha’s. And he was becoming desperate to get to the surface.

I straighten up, glaring at him as my tone drops. "It's the least you can do, Roan. Especially after what we did for you." He takes notice of my warning

“Are you trying to draw them out, is this the idea?”

"Yes. Though it's been a little quiet since she killed one.”

He looks over at Neah. “There's nothing to her. She really killed one?"

"Two." I mutter with a smile. "She used her claws to tear out the first's one heart. The second, she punctured it’s heart.

I follow his gaze. Neah’s eyes are closed and she is resting her cheek on my desk. I was worried about her, she hadn't eaten in days and even water was a struggle to keep down. Some of the others had noticed too. Though when they started asking questions, I shut them down.

I decide to give her a couple more hours. If she was still struggling, then she will be going back to the hospital. “Fucking crazy.” Roan mutters for what felt like the hundredth time. “They would stand a much better chance if they had their true Alpha in place.

“I know that. You know that. but for some reason, they think they know better.” holds this content.

“And that (Ewhy they are dying out:~ Roan chuckles. “No offence.” Hew smilesat Neah, and then frowns: ‘Has’she fallen asleep? You know that's not normal right?” ~~

Checking over Neah. I move her from my desk chair to the sofa. She doesn’t stir, completely out for the count

“You should get her looked at.

“Raven says it’s early pregnancy stuff.”

“We both know that is not normal.” Roan cocks an eyebrow at me

“She's a Lycan. None of us know what's normal. She doesn’t even know what normal is as they lied to her her entire life.” “What about the witch confidant you use? Maybe she has knowledge on this.

“Madame Curie? She hasn't been seen in a while and no one has left the pack grounds.”

“She's in my city.”

“What? Why?”

“It's a long story. I can put in a call. But you and I both know she doesn't come cheap.”

“Call her!

He whips a phone out from his pocket and holds it up to his ear. I hear her the moment she answers. “Alpha Roan?” “You are requested at Black Shadow.

There’s a pause before she answers. A long sigh echoes down the phone before she tells Roan that she is on her way. “She responds to you?" I ask curiously when he hangs up.

“I caught her in a spot of bother.” He smirks. “Let's just say I’ve learnt a thing or two from you over the years.”

He rises tohis feet and glances over at my sleeping mate. His eyes haver on her atittle too long before he turns-back to me. “I never thought would see the day where yowfound a mate.” ” “

“Neither did I. If anything happens to her...

He smiles at me. “Oh I know, I've already made that mistake once.~~ This world will never be the same. It's better to be on your side than against you.” Content belorigs to -
