Chapter 473
“We’re leaving.” I call out to Eris.
Her head pops around the door with a spoon in her mouth. She steps into the room with a jar of jam in one hand as she carefully scoops out another spoonful.
“Oh, you are actually going through with it?” She licks the spoon clean. “I just thought because of how long you were taking, you weren’t actually going to go through with it.” She puts the jar on the side and licks her lips, smacking them together. “Wait, can someone at least tell me where I am? He took me in the middle of the night and I haven’t got a clue.”
“Few miles from Black Shadow.”
“Wait, that’s it? That’s as far as I’ve made it.” She turns to a smiling Cooper. “You absolute prick.”
“What is it?” I ask
“I’m from Nightfall.”
“Nightfall, where is that?”
She casts a glance at Cooper. “It used to be called Ashburn city, but the new Alpha renamed it.”
“Alpha Ryan renamed the pack?”
“Alpha Ryan has been dead for a long time. The new Alpha is Alpha Silas. He slaughtered the Alpha and took his place, moved his men in.”
“He wasn’t someone already in the pack?”
She shakes her head. “He was an outsider.”
I turn to Cooper, “And you didn’t think he was worth punishing?”
He just smiles at me. I might have to ask Neah to remove his lips first so he can’t do that anymore.
“He wants to rule the Wolves.” Eris tells us
“Well, he took the pack.”
“No, you don’t understand. All Wolves around the world. He thinks they should fall under him.”
“Why?”
She shrugs her shoulders at me. “The same as anything I guess. There are some people in the world who are just so power driven that nothing else matters. The problem is, there are a lot that agree.” “Get what you want, mate?” Cooper asks
“You are not my mate.” I tell him for the hundredth time. “What did you do, Eris?”
“Well, I sort of made a promise that I never planned on keeping.”
“What kind of promise?” Samara asks, she was so invested in what Eris was saying, excited by the gossip
“Honestly, it’s not that bad. He just…it didn’t exactly go down well and if he gets his hands on me, he will, without a doubt, kill me.”
“It must be bad.” Samara scoffs
“You are all so dramatic.” She throws her hands up and walks over to the sofa. Puffing out air as she sits. “I aborted the Alpha’s pup. I had a one nighter with him, before I even knew who he was. The contraception I was taking clearly failed and then he attacked. It wasn’t just Alpha Ryan that died, so many others did too. He spared me only because he recognised me from our night together and I knew right then, I couldn’t keep it.”
“I spent days in the mansion with him. He made all these promises to me and asked me to make them back to him, then he slaughtered my best friend. So I did what I had to do. I found a Human hospital because I couldn’t go to our doctor, because it would be a sin and I probably would have been killed that day. So when I could, I slipped out. I had a decent gain until he found me.”
“And that’s why you took away her abilities?” I snap at Cooper.
“I have my reasons.”
“You should tell your Alpha about Alpha Silas. If you live nearby, you will become a victim. I guarantee it.” Eris tells us
I keep my mouth shut, she didn’t need to know how many Wolves and Lycans there are in the pack.
“Come with me.” I offer again. “You can tell them yourself.”
“Why? You don’t know anything about me!”
“We have someone that will be able to tell if you are lying.”
“”I don’t understand.”
“If you are telling the truth, you have nothing to worry about.”
