Chapter 208
Neah
“My Daddy said that you are not like me.” Dorothy mutters with her face scrunched up as she doodles.
Damien was back and was currently in the office with Dane. Raven had come to find us but was now moving back and forth, chewing on a hang nail.
I eye her suspiciously, while Dorothy keeps asking me questions
“No Dorothy, I’m not like you. I’m like Damien.”
“Daddy?”
I nod as she wrinkles her face up. As far as I was aware Damien hadn’t told her he was a Lycan.
“Raven.”
She freezes and looks at me. “I can’t talk about it,” she murmurs
“Did you…. Did you see Salem?” It was still worrying that no one had seen him. Maybe someone had killed him and I wouldn’t have to deal with that anymore. That would be a miracle. “No.” She answers at lightning speed
“Who’s Salem?” Dorothy asks from the kitchen table.
She was still busy doodling but was obviously listening.
“You don’t need to worry about that.” I smile
Raven glares at me, but what did she want me to do? Tell the six year old that the monster that killed all the people holding her hostage was Salem?
“Grown up stuff.” I add. She shrugs her shoulders and scribbles harder.
“Okay….okay… I can’t take this anymore.” She runs her hands through her dark hair, chewing on her bottom lip as she stares at me. “I saw Jenson.” “Oh, is… is he okay?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t speak to him.”
I was about to hug her. I knew she had struggled with the loss of her twin and was still struggling. Even if she would never admit it.
“Damien followed him. He was with another woman.”
I snort, “Well that took less time than I thought.” He hadn’t been able to do anything with Jess because of her age and the mate bond. Yet we all know he can’t keep his dick in his pants. “Who? Do I know them?” “I’m not supposed to tell you.”
“Raven, you are starting to freak me out. I don’t like secrets, you know that.”
“Damien said she looked like you.” The words tumble from her mouth as though they were burning through her lips. They come out hushed and fast.
“I mean, it’s not hard. Lots of people have hair like mine.”
She shakes her head at me. “Maybe it’s better if Damien explains it to you.”
“Raven, please.” I murmur. I hated being kept in the dark
‘Maybe….’ Nyx starts
‘Not you.’ I shut her down. Me and my Lycan were still not on proper speaking terms and I actually felt better for it.
Raven’s dark eyes lock with mine. “He said she was practically identical to you.”
“What are you saying? That I have another family member out there? Another Lycan?”
“You really should speak to Dane and Damien. I will stay here with Dorothy.”
I pause with my hand on the door and look back over my shoulder at her. She mouths ‘I’m sorry.’
I was too. I had been dragged through enough lies and secrets and hated every bit of it. Yet Dane still insisted on keeping things from me.
Waddling down the hallway to the office. I can hear both Dane and Damiens heated discussion. Deciding when the best time would be to tell me.
“It’s not fair to keep it from her.” Damien snaps
“She is my mate. I’m just trying to keep her safe.” Dane retorts.
“Isn’t it easier to be safe if she knows what she is dealing with?” Damien asks “She is the only female Alpha and now there is someone roaming the streets that looks just like her. Do you know how many scenarios have gone through my head?”
“Look. We still don’t know who she is.” I could imagine Dane was on his feet, glaring at Damien. He was so caught up in the argument that he hadn’t even picked up on my scent, hovering outside the door.
“Jenson probably went to her because she looks like Neah.” Dane sighs. “He is like a child, always wanting what he can’t have. He has tried fighting me for the Alpha spot several times He has tried fighting Eric for the Beta position. But instead he lost and he chose to fuck Erics wife. Did he even seem sorry that the kids, his kids, are dead?”
