“I don’t know their names, but I assume it was Witches or a Witch that bound her. No one else has that kind of power.””That is why I am asking you.”Devon shakes his head. “I don’t know what you want me to say, Alpha Dane. But there was no talk of a Witch or Witches. Trey worked hard to keep that pack concealed from other kinds. He wouldn’t let just anyone in.” “What do you mean by that?” Alpha Dane demands”Whoever bound her when she was a child would be the same one who bound her as an adult.””Do…do you know who he is talking about?” I ask Alpha Dane quietly. Maybe it was why he was so off with me.”Not yet.” Alpha Dane mutters, He turns to the stairs, holding his hand out. “Come, it’s time for your lesson with Klaus.””Lesson? Ooh, what are you practising, fighting?” Devon asks as his hands curl around the bars. “Is this Klaus a handsome man too. It gets a bit boring seeing the same faces down here.””Reading lesson.” I mutter, not really thinking about it.”It’s about time someone taught you to read and write.””What….what did you say?” I had kept it a secret for so long. Raven figured it out. I blurted it out to Alpha Dane, but I had never told anyone else.Devon doesn’t say anything, retreating back against the wall.”Answer her?” Alpha Dane growls”It’s nothing.”

Even Trey thought I could read, when the truth was I just learned to figure out what things were without reading the label. “Your story is starting to slip, Devon.” Alpha Dane paces back and forth in front of his cell. “I knew there was something off with you.””Honestly, it’s what he told me.””His name?””He never gave me a name.” He looks at me. “He was blonde, easily six foot. Almost black eyes. Always happy””You trusted someone in the pack who wouldn’t even give you their name.””They didn’t want to be caught.””Bull fucking shit!” Alpha Dane snaps. “I’ve heard some lies, but this takes the fucking piss.””He’s….telling….the truth.” I mutter, vaguely remembering someone that looked like Devon’s description S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ƒindηʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.”This guy wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him in the ass.” Alpha Dane snaps”He didn’t come to the house much… I dropped a list that Kyle had given me.” It was like an old memory, scratching to gain entrance in the back of my mind. Little pieces flickered through “He made a joke about me not reading it and then read it out to me.” Alpha Dane is staring at me. “Are you sure?””My memory is bad…. It’s like, most of the good stuff is gone from when I was little and I can only remember the worst parts.” My parents blood soaked faces instantly appear in front of me.”That’s what Trey wanted, Neah. If you remembered all the good things, you would have been a threat. He had to make you weak.” Devon mutters”Again, you know a lot for someone who was never in the house.” Alpha Dane growl as he grabs my hand, tugging me back up the stairs and out into the cool air.”I don’t like him!” He states. “Just something about him rubs me up the wrong way.” He grabs my shoulders, turning me around. “Partial truths do not mean he is telling the whole truth.” “You mean like you are not telling me why you are being so weird?”
