Chapter 490
Neah
“Can’t you just let me leave!” I hear Eris before I see her. Damien rolls his eyes as he sits across from my bed.
‘Does she ever shut up?’ Nyx mutters
‘No.’
“You really can’t stand her, can you?” I whisper to Damien
“Could you if she was making ridiculous comments to you every time her mouth opened? It’s not only that, one minute she is begging to leave, the next she expects me to do exactly what she tells me.” The door swings open and her eyes move straight to Damien. “Why are you here?”
“I’m here to support my brother and my Alpha’s.” He tells her
“Sit!” Dane commands and she shuffles to the empty chair.
“I don’t know what you expect from me. I’ve already said what I need to say.” She tells us.
“Well,” Dane starts. “Brax seems to think that you are lying.”
“”Brax?” I ask
“He was questioning her and he has made it very clear that our guest is full of shit!” Dane frowns
I stare at her and she lowers her gaze. Brax was never usually wrong about someone lying.
“Why were you speaking to Brax?” I ask
“I was seeing if he could help me. I didn’t expect to run into the other father of your kid!” She snaps as she glares at Damien. “That’s some messed up situation.”
“Remind me again why I should accept you as my mate?” He snaps back and Eris closes her mouth into a pout
“What about Alpha Silas?” I mutter
She straightens her spine.
“You were running from him?”
“Yes.” she murmurs
“Why?”
“I’ve already told Klaus.”
“And I’m guessing that was a lie. Otherwise Brax wouldn’t have held a gun to your head.”
“You couldn’t have seen that.” she scoffs
“I have eyes everywhere.” It was only Samara that had linked me but Eris didn’t need to know that.
She slouches back and keeps her head low. “I was running from him.” She drums her fingers on the chair. “But the story I gave them was a lie. I thought… I don’t know what I thought. Safety maybe. A chance to find someone who understands. Someone who will help me. I didn’t expect to find my mate.”
“Understand what?” Dane demands “If you don’t give us any information, how do you expect us to help or trust you.”
“Alpha Silas is a menace.” she whispers
‘She can’t even look directly at us when she is talking.’ Nyx growls ‘And she doesn’t seem to have any fear.’
‘She is lying.’ I whisper back.
“Is he, or are you just looking for an excuse to cover your ass?” Damien frowns at her
“When he killed Alpha Ryan, it was unexpected. A shock. Alpha Ryan didn’t have enemies. Alpha Silas came in the night. Slaughtered Alpha Ryan in his sleep. And I’m not talking about just slitting his throat. They ripped him open, spreading all his organs out on the bed around him. I found him.”
‘Pack takeovers are not unheard of.’ Danes voice echoes in my head. ‘But they don’t happen like they used to.’
“I sounded the alarm and when Alpha Silas discovered it was me, he promised to make my life hell. I became a slave to the pack I once knew. He would make me do stuff.” She shivers
“What kind of stuff?” I ask
“Do I really need to answer that?” she frowns “I’m pretty sure you can figure it out. I escaped by the skin of my teeth and just ran. I ran and ran until I scented Cooper. He was watching me and offered me safety.”
The words fall from her lips so easily, yet none of it felt like the truth. She kept her gaze off of me. She couldn’t even properly look at Dane or Damien. It was all crap, but I wanted to see how far she would go. “Call Alpha Ryan.” I tell Dane
“What? No, wait. You can’t, he is dead!” She panics
“Then it will be Silas that answers, won’t it?” she stares at me in horror. “If Silas answers, we don’t need to confirm you are here and it will tell us that you are partly telling the truth. If Ryan answers, then we will know that you are lying.” “Please don’t. He will know I’m here.”
“Who, Ryan or Silas?” Damien presses
“Alpha Silas. He keeps everything tightly wrapped up. People don’t get to leave the pack and if they do, well…. I’m pretty sure you can figure that out.” ‘That’s twice she has said that.’ Nyx mutters
“He keeps everything locked up. He doesn’t want anyone to find out that he is there. And if someone calls, you will become his next target.” Eris tells us
