Chapter 46
Neah
“Stop!” Alpha Dane snaps. His crimson eyes are on me even though he is looking at Devon.
“Don’t you want justice?” Devon asks me. “For everything that they did to you?”
“That’s enough.” Alpha Dane’s eyes shift to him. “Not another word. Neah has made herself clear.”
“I’m just saying…… The pack is hers. She can claim it and take her rightful place as Alpha of the Lycans.”
“And I’m telling you to stop talking. Right now. You will only answer questions. You will not push her on your own ideas. Do I make myself clear?”
Devon’s brow creases a little, but he does as he is told and closes his mouth.
Except for the eyes, he looked a little like my father, well, what I could remember of him. It was hard for me to remember any image of my father except for the one that haunts me. The memory of blood dripping down his face as I was dragged away. “You said they all knew.” Alpha Dane is standing in front of Devon. Was he trying to intimidate him? “How?”
“My spy told me.”
“Your spy?”
“You could have asked him yourself if you hadn’t killed him.”
I was certain Alpha Dane was going to hit him, but he just stood there, hovering over him. It reminded me of what Kyle and the others did to me. Standing over me, telling me the vile things they were going to do to me. Alpha Dane keeps his fists to himself, “Trey had no idea about the spy?” He asks
“No.” Devon’s eyes flick to me. “He was the only one who never laid a finger on you. He hated what they were doing to you. He wanted to beg them to stop, but he would have looked weak and he would have looked like a traitor..” “He still should have helped her though.”
“He was one Lycan, he couldn’t do anything except give me information otherwise Trey would have known.”
“What about you? You sat back and let them beat the shit out of her, just because you thought you might die?” Alpha Danes’ tone was cold.
He looks over at me. “If it had been Raven, I would have died trying to get her out. I would not have stopped. I would not have sat back and gathered snippets of information from an insider. I would have gone in and ripped peoples heads from their necks to save my sister.”
“It wasn’t that simple.” Devon protests. “I told you, I tried getting close to the house. Once Trey figured out who I was, he made it impossible. I tried.” Devon’s blue eyes lock on mine. “I really did try.”
“Not enough!” Alpha Dane snaps. He nods at Beta Eric.
“Let’s go!” Beta Eric grabs Devon by the arm and hauls him out of the office.
“That was not how I wanted that to go.” Alpha Dane sighs as he moves in front of me, “I wanted him to reassure you that whatever you turn into, is not a big deal. Instead, he gave you even more of a reason to hate yourself.”
“He looks like my father.” I mumble, not really taking in his words. “I…. I don’t want to believe it. But his eyes, they….they are like mine, like my mothers.”
“Could you sense him?”
“He smelled….. Familiar.” I shake my head. “There’s nothing up here.” I touch my temple. “I don’t even remember a baby in the house.”
“He claims he is nineteen. That makes him three years younger than you. You don’t even remember a toddler?”
“No, there is nothing.” I didn’t remember a baby or a toddler. I never even heard of talk about a man attacking. I never heard Trey announcing the need to up security. But what I do remember are the faces of everyone who had hurt me. “And I will hunt down every single one of them.” Alpha Dane murmurs as he takes a step towards me.
