Chapter 483
Klaus would fall for something like that. I didn’t blame him, if it had been the truth, I would have helped too.
“So Cooper just happened to find you?” I ask
“Yes.” Eris mutters. “He made me believe we were mates. But i know that was a lie.”
“Where did he find you?”
*Running through a forest. I had to get away, I had too…
“But you knew nothing of Lycans?” Ashburn city knew about Lycans. Blair had already informed me of that because it was where they killed Damien’s brother
“What’s that got to do with anything?” She frowns
“My curiousity.”
She shakes her head at me. “Not until he told me. Everyone smells the same. And then he took everything from me. He locked me up, injected me with something.”
“No.” Samara scowls. I glance at Samara who is shaking her head. “No, you said he muttered a spell over you.” *He did after he injected me with something.”
“But Klaus asked you if you had been drugged and you said no.” Samara presses
“I thought you meant like pills or something.” Eris mutters
“Samara,” as much as I hated what I was about to ask, I needed Dorothy not to see what was about to happen.” Can you take Dorothy back to the house with you?”
I keep the gun pressed to Eris’s temple as Samara leads Dorothy away. “You don’t need to do this!” Eris whispers.
“I wouldn’t normally, but I’m giving you one last opportunity to tell the truth.”
“Brax.” Dane mutters from behind me. “Put the gun down. Neah wants to speak to Eris.”
“She’s lying.”
“That may be so, but Neah still wishes to talk to her. And I know you respect Neahs requests.”
I slowly lower the gun in frustration and watch as Eris breathes a sigh of relief.
“How is Neah?” I ask. I had watched them race her across the grounds to the hospital. I thought the twins might have already been putting to much strain on her body. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.
“She is okay. Just needed some fluids and food.”
*The twins?”
He pauses, because I hadn’t said anything. “They are good too.”
“She’s pregnant?” Eris mutters
“Yes. Feeling bad about lying now?” I ask
She doesn’t answer
“Eris, come with me.” Dane instructs. I watch her walk over to him. She regularly tosses her hair over her shoulder and gives me one final glance as they head towards the pack hospital.
I should go inside to Maddie, but I needed to check my daughter was safe.
Knocking on the door, Samara answers. Her body stiffens a little. “She’s in there.” She pulls the door further back and steps to one side. My eyes move to her hand where I see a unicorn sticker.
“She likes you?”
“I think so.” She mutters and briefly smiles at the sticker.
“Dorothy?”
“In here Daddy!” She calls back.
I make my way in and find the room decked out in sheets and blankets. Dorothy sticks her head out “Do you like my den? Sammie made it for me.”
Looking over my shoulder, I see Samara standing further back, cautious. “You seem different.”
“I doubt if you would believe me even if I told you, but Dakota has helped me understand a lot of things and still
is.”
*Or maybe with Cooper gone, you have become free to be who you were always supposed to be.”
I follow her to the kitchen as she offers to make me a drink. Her soul was healing. It wasn’t quite there, but it will
be.
“You like Damien, don’t you?” I ask
“He’s kind to me. He didn’t have to let me stay here. He didn’t have to lend me his clothes. He didn’t have to do anything.”
“You know that’s not what I’m talking about.”
She places her hands on the counter and tips her head back. “He is mated to someone else. I can’t do anything about that.”
“Do you know that sometimes, the mate bond isn’t for everyone.”
“What do you mean?”
“Not everyone who is together is together because of a bond. Obviously it is better that way, ninety percent of the time. But not always. Some people choose each other because they fall for each other.”
“Why are you telling me this? You hate me. I know you came here to check that your daughter is safe around me.” “Because I can see when someone is trying to turn their life around.”
