“How long have you known?” He doesn’t answer me. “How long?” I ask again

“Since the day she turned up. She’s a fucking kid. She started following me around a few days ago. I’m assuming because are starting to settle down with her body.” His eyes flash at me. “I will reject her. I am not waiting around until she is eighteen. I might be dead by then.”

“That’s why you were explaining the bond to her. You were trying to prepare her.”

He nods. “As much as you think I’m an asshole, I do care about some things. That girl has been through enough, the rejection would probably tear her apart.”

It was weird hearing him talk like this. A kinder side. A side that showed he wasn’t always an idiot. “You walked in just when I was about to reject her.

“Maybe make sure that she has someone with her when you reject her. She will need it.”

“Sure.”

“Dane!” Roan’s voice travels through the house and Jenson rolls his eyes again. He sticks his head out the door. “My brother is busy, what do you want?

“Madame Curie is here.”

My back stiffens and Nyx is already muttering to herself. She hadn’t even met her but she already hated her for binding my abilities. She strolls into the house with a small bag. Asmile creeps onto her tanned skin as her eyes find me.

“How are you feeling, Alpha Neah?

I didn’t like it. I didn’t like hearing it. I didn’t like her saying it

Her eyes move down to my stomach and her grin seems to grow. “Twins, how wonderful.”

“You know?” Roan asks her with a frown

“I see what I need to see.” She turns around in a small circle. “I believe Alpha Dane wishes to see me.”

“He is a little busy right now.” Jenson tells her. “You are more than welcome to wait in the office.”

“Very well.” She turns back to me. “Il would love your company.”

Jenson catches my wrist. “If you don’t feel comfortable. it’s fine, you don’t have to.”

I refocus ofthe witch. She knew I» was haying twins, maybe she knew more..{’m fine.” I mutter, pulling my wristaway. lf she tries anything, I

will just kill her. –

The men watch me move to the office. Madame Curie closely = fo lows-A little too close for my*> ~ liking +make a point of sittingin Danes chair, behind the deskvand facing her and the door. C ritent bélongs to ~

“How are you feeling?” She asks me as she makes herself comfortable.

I don’t answer her and instead fire my own question. “You said that you see what you needed to see. Where are Trey and Cassandra?” “Waiting.”

“Where?”

“That, I’m afraid, is something I cannot be sure of.”

Annoyance was growing inside of me.

“I believe I am here to check on you.” She studies my face.

“You don’t need to.”

“I know. Yotrhave it all handled.” She mutters with a smile. “You know, when I first met you, I knew you~ were different. You were a special little pup. Just as those thatgrow inside of you.” <

“Are they Lycans?”

She smiles at me. “Lycans are a dying breed. Even those that have been turned will not produce Lycan pups.” “They are Wolves, like Dane?

“Is that what you want, Alpha Neah?”

‘I want you to answer my questions.”

“As much as I would like to give you the answer you are looking for. I am afraid I can’t.”

“You mean you won’t.” I sigh and shake my head, “Why did you even come here?’

“I owe Alpha Roan and I wanted one last look at you as the Lycan Alpha.
