DaneI walk into silence. Neah looks as though she is on the verge of tears. Though she clutches her stomach as if she is about to vomit again.”What…what do you mean?” She mumbles to Madame Curie”Exactly what I said.” Madame Curie’s eyes flicker up to me. “I cannot give you the answers you are looking for.””How much?” I offer, knowing exactly how she works.She shakes her head at me and pauses. “If I took money from you for this, the answers I would be giving you, will be unsatisfactory and unworthy.” She looks back at Neah. “I am sorry that I played a role in your upbringing.” “Twice!” I snap”And I wish that I could give you the information you seek.” She sighs”You said you wanted to take one last look at me, the Lycan Alpha. What does that mean? Am I dying?” Neah demands”Everyone is.” She smiles sadlyI shake my head in disbelief, I had known Madame Curie for a long time. “Neah, she is talking about herself.””You were always the smartest Alpha, Alpha Dane.” Madame Curie winks at me and turns her attention to my mate. “Yes, he is right, Alpha Neah. I have been around for a long long time and my time is coming to an end.” “Oh.””What I can tell you is that your boys will thrive. You just have a journey to get there.””That’s all you can tell us?” I ask, watching my mate”That is all the information I have.” She rises to her feet. “Now if you don’t mind, I would like to enjoy the few days that I have left.”She turns to leave, “Oh, but there is something else. Your mother was just as sick as you are, for Lycans, that is just how it is. Most likely because of the human essence in them. Try some ginger biscuits. Your appetite will soon return.” As she leaves, I hear Roan shouting after her, demanding to know where she is going.”She made it sound like I was dying?” Neah whispers with a frown”Madame Curie is like that. You should have waited for me. I would have been able to read between the lines for you.””I still don’t know.” She whispers. “I still don’t know what they are.””Maybe, for now, we just take each day as it comes. When you feel them, I’m sure you will think differently about them.” Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒindηʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.She nods and suddenly looks up at me. “There is something I need to tell you.””He beat you to it. For once, in his life, I think Jenson is actually doing the right thing.””It will break her.” Neah muttersI knew they had been talking, exactly like I had hoped she would. Jess had confided in her when Neah fixed her hair.Neah didn’t share anything with me, telling me that it was not for her to say. That Jess had asked her to not talk about it and I respected her choice.”All you can do is be there for her. Be that person that you needed when you were growing up.” I tell herThere’s a knock on the door and Roan doesn’t even wait for an answer. “What the hell did you say to my witch?””One: It’s none of your business. Two: You don’t own her. And Three: you are in my house, watch your fucking tone!” I growl”I called her here to help with whatever this is.” He waves his hand at my mate. “You wanted answers and now, she has walked away without even looking back. What did you say to her? Or did she tell you that we are all fucked?” “She is dying.” Neah mutters. “She can’t help you anymore.””What the fuck are you talking about?””If you keep insisting on talking to my mate like that, I will break your fucking neck!” I growl. “Madame Curie is dying. She has days left. She doesn’t give a crap about you ‘owning’ her.”
