Chapter 427
Neah
“And she was nice?” I ask Maddie, not quite believing what she was telling me about Blair
‘Blair has to be playing us, right?’ Nyx mutters
“She was. Brax made her nervous and she did keep checking to see where he was. But ultimately, she didn’t have anything bad to say about anyone but Cooper. I don’t really know her and that’s why I suggested that I be there. I thought if she is pretending, she would at least let it slip to someone she doesn’t know, or someone that has gone through something similar. I even showed her the bruises I still have and do you know what, she said I should be resting. But I told her I wanted to help.” “You didn’t have to do that.
“I know, I just wanted to contribute. You and the Alpha are both letting me stay in the house and I don’t even have my Lycan abilities so I figured this was something I can do.”
“Has Brax spoken to you about your Lycan?” I ask
“He suggested you bite me and turn me back.”
‘He what?’ Nyx replies, shocked by the idea
“I told him I wasn’t even sure thats what I wanted anymore.”
“That’s….that wasn’t what I was talking about. There may be a chance that this lack of abilities is temporary. It might come back.”
She frowns and shakes her head. “No.”
“What do you mean “No.?”
“Cooper told me. It’s a bit hazy, you know.” She taps her temple. “But he definitely told me. He said it was my punishment for being with Brax, that I would never get to experience being a Lycan again. Only those who are worthy deserve it.” ‘It wore off of Samara?’ Nyx murmurs
“He said never?” I query
Maddie nods. “Something about how he doesn’t make mistakes”
“He doesn’t make mistakes?”
“Sorry,” She raises her shoulders, “Like I said, it’s still a bit fuzzy and sometimes it doesn’t sound right in my head. Now and again I will get a clear memory and know it’s not from a dream. I remember him standing over me and saying those words.” ‘He doesn’t make mistakes? It feels like there is a hidden message?’ Nyx murmurs
‘I agree.’
“Do you remember anything else Maddie?”
She shakes her head. “I’m sorry, Neah. I try and Brax keeps asking me. When I try to remember it, it feels like I’m being pulled into a dream and I can’t always tell what is real or not. Is it alright if I go and lie down, it’s been a long day?”
“Go ahead.” I smile at her as Nyx continuously repeats the words Maddie had just said.
‘He doesn’t make mistakes.’
‘It’s a weird thing to say, right?’ I mutter to Nyx
‘Yep!’ She pops the p. ‘Everyone makes mistakes. Do you think she knows something?’
I shake my head. ‘I don’t think there would even be a chance she could keep it quiet from Brax. Either verbally or because he sees it in her soul.’
Dropping on the sofa, I pull my legs up under me. “Do you think he fucked up by saying that to her?” I speak out loud as I yawn
‘Like I said, everyone makes mistakes so there is a good chance. Maybe Cooper thought she was out of it? Maybe he thought she couldn’t hear him?’
“Maybe.” It was so frustrating. Nothing with Cooper added up. What was his purpose of getting some of Dane’s Wolves on his side? Why target Blair and then Maddie? Why did he have this hold over Samara? There weren’t any links between any of them. ‘Power?’ Nyx mutters
“Then why hasn’t he come after me or Dane? He isn’t achieving anything by going after the people he has. Maddie wasn’t even able to shift and he knew that!”
I hear the front door open and seconds later I’m hit with Brax’s scent. He drops on the sofa opposite. His hazel eyes studying me. “Dane isn’t happy.”
“I know.” I mutter.
“He feels he is losing the pack.”
“I know.”
He leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees, “That could mean trouble, Neah. For everyone. I am aware Dane has his ways, but I’ve seen what happens to angry Alphas. I’ve seen their packs become non-existent.” “What do you suggest?” I mutter, “Because some of this pack seem to be forgetting who is in charge.”
“We go after Cooper. Deal with him once and for all. Bring Klaus home. Just you and me. Simply in and out and we leave Cooper with a bullet lodged in his brain.”
“I’m not doing that. That’s exactly what Cooper wants us to do. As much as Klaus is my family, he is safe while we are not intervening. Cooper thinks Klaus is his mate.”
