Chapter 0518
Dane
Neah pokes her food around her plate. She doesn’t think I’m watching, but I am. I’m always watching. Especially since she passed out
Her eyes flicker between blue and black as she speaks to Nyx. But this time, I stay out of her head, letting them vent to one another.
Her blues flash to me as I end my conversation with Aero. Tonight was supposed to be about me and my mate. We are supposed to be having time together, away with the constant noises of the pack. A break from the chaos of parenthood.
As usual, nothing is ever simple and now the brother I never knew is here. Too close to home for my liking.
“You need to eat.” I tell Neah
“If it’s not my bladder, it’s my stomach.” She replies, taking the tiniest bite of potato.
“Did you tell Silas that Cooper was dead?” I ask
“I didn’t think I needed to. I didn’t say anything, because it seemed like he already knew.” She puffs out her cheeks. “He called Cooper an asshole. It seems like he upset more people than just us.”
I nod. “Well, he has left now. So for the time being, we can forget his existence.”
She stares at me a little too long. An eyebrow raises as she nods. She knew I wouldn’t just let it go. But at the same time, I wanted her to have all my attention. It’s been spread a little thin lately.
I ask her the question that she has been dying to get the answer too She had asked Damien a couple of times now, but it was still too early. “Do you think they are Wolves or Lycans?” She wanted to know, but was yet to make it clear on what she thought about it.
“I thought I wanted to know. But does it really matter? As long as they are healthy, right?”
“Right.” I smile
“And I still don’t know if I’m ready for four.”
“You are more ready than you know.” I lift her hand off the table and bring it to my lips, kissing the back of it.
“Well, we could both be wrong.” She shrugs her shoulders at me. “Half breeds exist. Klaus told me so and then there was Cooper, Half Lycan, half Witch, What if I produce girls that are a combination of us. Will the world be ready for that?”
“I don’t even know if the world will be ready for Evrin.” I murmur. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findηøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
She stares at me with wide eyes.
“Your parents were not ready for you. You didn’t get to experience the life you should have had. They stopped that from happening. Evrin is you. The difference is, he is allowed to live
his life. Shifting and all.” I smile at her
Neah lowers her gaze. “Do you think there is something wrong with Logan? I thought he might have shifted by now. He was the first to crawl, to walk, to learn new things and it just seems like Evrin has suddenly flown by.”
“No, of course I don’t think anything is wrong with him. He will shift when he is ready, even if that means waiting until he is thirteen. Maybe the boys are both supposed to be Alphas. One as a leader of Wolves and the other as a leader of Lycans.”
“Maybe you are right.” She mutters with a scowl
“Only time will tell.” I glance at my watch. “To be honest, I was half expecting a panicked link from Athena or Sebastian by now.” I grin as she pushes another piece of food across her plate.
“Do you want to get out of here?” I ask. The evening was tainted and I could see she wasn’t as relaxed as when we left the pack.
“Home?”
“No, there is somewhere else I would like to take you.” I tell her. I was ninety nine percent sure she would never have been. I had searched her mind and couldn’t find even a hint of a memory of it.
