His eyes narrow at me. “Eric is checking. Who are you talking about?””Nyx.” I mumble. “In my head. A Lycan.” I was really struggling to get the words out, between her talking to me and trying to tell me what to say and my own thoughts, things were becoming muddled. He grabs my shoulders, his eyes quickly go to my bare feet and he groans. “How long have you been up here?””Midnight.” I whisper. I had looked at the clock moments before Devon barged his way into my room.I cling to Alpha Dane like a monkey as he lowers us back down to his bedroom window. Inside he wraps a blanket around me and quickly closes the window.”Tell me what happened. Tell me everything?” He settles into the large chair, watching me with his crimson eyesI stutter a lot, trying to get all the information out. He just nods his head, letting me get everything off my chest”And claws appeared.” I mutter. “I….I pulled out bits of his heart.” I urge at the thought of it, remembering how the pieces stuck to the end of my claws. It still didn’t feel real.”You partially shifted?” He asks when I don’t say anymoreI close my eyes and nod. I could hear in his tone that he didn’t believe it. That he thought I was lying.”And you have a Lycan who is talking to you? In the same way as Aero speaks to me?”I nod again, because it hadn’t matched anything that I had learned about myself. Trey never had a Lycan spirit inside of him. Devon said it didn’t happen. Yet here I was with Nyx whispering things in my head. “Is she talking to you now?”I puff out my cheeks and bob my head.”What is she saying?””That you don’t believe me. But…but you can read my mind, you have to know that I am not lying.””Right?” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒind ηøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.”But it’s not that you don’t believe me, is it, Alpha Dane. It’s that you don’t think it’s possible for me to kill someone like Devon. Even though you can read my mind.”His crimson eyes study me. “Partial shifting is not a thing. But then again, these days, I never know what is going to happen.”I didn’t want to show him, but he was leaving me no choice.’Do it?’ I whisper to Nyx. ‘Just like before.’I actually feel her eyes roll and it was the oddest feeling. I pull my hand out from under the blanket and hold it out. Within seconds, there is a sharp pain that shoots through my entire body. My hand slowly transforms, growing bigger as thick claws inch themselves out of the tips of my fingers.The actual shift didn’t hurt, it was the moment before. It was….strange”How does it make you feel?”I turn my clawed hand over, inspecting it. Tufts of dark fur spread up my wrist but fizzled out as it met my human flesh.”I don’t know.” I murmur. I had hated the idea of me shifting. Hated the idea that I would become something else. I hated how this was kept a secret from me since I was a kid. But the partial shift, it saved my life.’See,’ Nyx mutters. ‘It’s really not that bad.'””You don’t know?” Alpha Dane repeatsI shake my head and my claws retract as my hand shrinks.’I’m sorry about your men.” I whisper, still staring at my hand. “I believed him. When he said Trey was attacking, I believed him.””You had no reason not to. You fear Trey. If someone tells you he is coming. I wouldn’t have expected any different.”I frown because I knew I was an idiot”He lied to us all. And we all fell for it. I’m just as much to blame. I should have known that taking too many on a pack run would be a mistake. I put my trust in the wrong man. That won’t happen again.”
