Neah

When I wake, I’m alone. My body ached. My vagina throbbed. The sex had been amazing. And now, I was thankful that my intense urges and desires had calmed. I could finally think clearly. But now I was paying the price.

Tiptoeing across the room, I wince at the pain between my thighs. Turning on the water for the bath, I don’t even wait for it to be full when I step in. Easing my aching body into the hot water.

The door opens and I catch Alpha Danes’ woody scent before he steps into the room. His crimson eyes move to the bed before searching the room for me.

“Sore?” He smirks, making his way over to me.

I ned and sink further down into the water, until itis lapping at my chin

“It won’t always be like this.” He smiles at me as he leans over the bath, kissing my forehead.

He moves away and sits in the big chair by the window. “You don’t remember much from your childhood, do you?

I shook my head, knowing that he had turned the chair around and was watching me.

“Has Devon…. Has he said something?” I ask quietly

“No.” He mutters, but he sounded different, as though his thoughts were elsewhere. “I haven’t seen him.”

“Did I do it wrong?” He was the only guy I had ever been with. I couldn’t be certain that I had done my part properly He laughs and shakes his head. “No, you were perfect.

I soak in silence, waiting for him to tell me what’s on his mind. But he doesn’t. He just quietly watches me, the same way he did back in Trey’s office. A look of curiosity.

When I get out of the bath and start drying myself. he crosses over to the closet, fishing me out some clothes to wear. Something that I was slowly getting used to.

“Are we going somewhere?” I ask as he gets out a pair of trainers for me. I was hoping just to stay here and relax. “We need to speak to your brother. I have some questions and I would prefer it if you were there to hear his answers.”

He said he hadn’t spoken to him. What had happened while I was asleep?

Traipsing ifthe snow to the dungeans’made me feel a little = uneasy, Something had definitely

happened and I wasn’t sure ft even wanted to know. Content bélongs to 7

Alpha Dane pulls the door open, stepping into the darkness first. He flicks the lights on as he makes his way down the steps.

“Devon?” Alpha Dane calls out. “Are you awake?

“You’ve brought me a guest, how can I not be gwake for my sister.” He mutters witta yawnaslstepin . front of Wis’cell. He looked well, x someone had given him a small-bed tosl lee on, some water and ae change of clothes. He had been given more than what I had when Trey and Kyle were punishing me.

“You look comfortable.” Alpha Dane speaks quietly

“Your gorgeous. Beta was kind enough to bang me a few things. He thought itymight make me more => conversational with him. He seemed a littleannoyed that I would only” speak to you.” He grins. “Te me, is he-Seeing anyone?” 4

“He isn’t into men and I’m pretty sure he has made that quite clear.” Alpha Danes tone is low

“Such a pity. Anyway, how can I help you?” He pushes himself to his feet, stretching out his limbs: “Witches.” Alpha Dane mutters,

“Witches? Any witch in particular? Not that I’ve met any.”

“You said you had inside information. Was there talk of Witches visiting. particularly surrounding Neah.

My head snaps in Alpha Dane’s direction, but he was solely focussed on Devon.
