Chapter 16
“Fucking witches. It would be so much easier if they had a scent.” Jenson mutters.
“That’s what you are concerned about? It’s a fucking good job you weren’t the first born. Did you not see her face when I mentioned Moonshine? Something is seriously wrong with that pack.”
“So what do you want to do?”
“I need to speak to Eric.” I drop some cash on the table for our drinks and head back out to the car. “Take us home.” I snap at the driver. “Chill.” Jenson beams at me, “it’s not his fault that you have your knickers in a twist.”
He goes to get in, but I grab him and slam his body into the side of the limo. “Will you shut, the fuck, up!”
“Why are you so touchy about this one? What’s so special about her?”
He climbs into his seat and as I take mine, he looks directly into my eyes. “She’s the one, isn’t she? You have finally found her.
I don’t answer him. Because right now, I had no idea how long it would be before I could claim her as mine. If the pack never returns home, how are we supposed to kill Kyle and end the bond between them.
Back at the pack house, I find Raven and Eric sitting in the office.
“How did it go? Is she willing to help?” Eric rises from my chair and moves around the desk. “She was going to help.” Jenson tells him.
“Was?” Raven asks. “Jenson, what the fuck did you do?”
“Hey!” He holds his hands up. “I didn’t do anything.”
“He didn’t.” I confirm. “Madame Curie heard the name of Neah’s pack and walked away.” “She walked away? Are you serious?” Raven asks
“Yes.” I rub my temples. “Is Neah okay?”
“Been in and out of sleep. A few screams of pain. What are we going to do? We have never been screwed over by another pack. Is that what they are trying to do? Are they trying to tear us down?”
“We will figure it out.” Eric tells Raven. “We always do.
I hear Neah scream.
“I will go.” Raven mutters.
I stop her. “There is nothing any of us can do. There is no medicine to give her. She has to go through it.” We can’t just leave her.’ Aero growls at me. ‘She needs us.”
I look at Raven and see the sorrow in her eyes. She was feeling guilty because she was almost blood tied to her mate. “I will go.”
Neah is tossing-and turning in the bed. She haetchanged out of the clothes she was wearing and was <> now in ‘one of my tee’s. Sweat glisteced her skin as she thrashed araue yet her eyes were squeezed . ~ Srovel.ne! oS
Moving closer to her, I feel the extreme heat radiating from her. She stills for a second before letting out another blood curdling scream.
Four days it lasted. Four long ucking daysxWith each new day, he slept. little less, but more was spent screaming or thrashi about4y) pain. No one slept in thé house. Eric, Jenson, Raven and mast of the omegas left atshightfall, jut so they could get sorte sleep.

The fifth day came and the house was quiet. I had taken to running in the morning just so Aero and I could think more clearly but as I creep into the house, there were no noises. No screams.
“Shit!” I charge up the stairs, expecting Neah to have disappeared. Instead, she was laid out like a starfish on her stomach. Her black sweaty hair hung over her face as she slept.
Is it over? Aero asks in a whisper as though he thinks she will hear him We won’t know until she wakes.’
Turning the chair around. I watch as she sleeps. I could hear her breathing and the steady rhythm of her heart beating. It was the slowest it had been in days and I hoped it was a good sign.
After an hour she starts stretching her limbs. She sweeps back her hair and locks eyes with me.
‘I’m naked.” she mutters
“You are.” I smirk, happy to see that she was feeling better.
“Can you look away? Please
“You’ve been naked for days. You were overheating. Raven put you in a tee but even that was too much. So I removed it.
Her cheeks turn pink and slowly spread down her neck. “Please.” She asks again as her hand searches for the invisible blanket. Getting to my feet, I grab the blanket that hangs on the back of the chair and toss it to her. “You really shouldn’t be so embarrassed.
“You….you didn’t do anything to me?”
“You were ikand not of sane mind. I am not nay brother.” I mutter, turming my bagk’on her. I could see her.> reflection in the window as she got to her’ feet and wrapped the blanket around herself, –
“You didn’t let Aero do something?” “No, he was more concerned about helping you.” In the window, I see how she presses her hand against her chest and she lets out a big sigh of relief.
“Trust me.” I add as I continue to watch her reflection, “You would know if I had fucked you.”
