Chapter 77
“You’re letting him out.” Beta Eric asks and I couldn’t help but notice the slight pinkish tint to his peachy skin “It’s your choice.” Alpha Dane mutters to me. “And if you do decide too, there will be conditions that he has to meet. “Anything!” Devon beams at us. “I will literally do anything! I’m desperate for some sunlight.”
What if I make the wrong decision? What if I say yes and all this has been complete lies? What if the moment I let him out, he brings Trey straight to us? Choices were not my strong point.
Stepping out into the snow, Alpha Dane grabs my hand, just as Devon mutters something about the sun on his skin being a glorious feeling
“I am never going in a cell again.” Devon’s hand catches mine. “Thank you so much. I promise you, I will be the brother you deserve.” He straightens up in front of Alpha Dane and clears his throat, trying to force his voice a note lower and making himself sound almost serious.
“Alpha Dane, don’t fuck with my sister. I see the small twitch at the corner of Alpha Dane’s lips. He wasn’t a man who could be told what to do. He lived and played by his own rules. “Oh come on.” Devon muses, “I had to do the brotherly thing.”
“I will let you have that one.” Alpha Dane replies, “But I will remind you, that although Neah let you out, I can quite easily put you back in the cell and this time. there will be no benefits.”
“Sure sure sure.” Devon puffs out his cheeks, turning around “Someone’s on a mission.
I follow his gaze to see Veronica charging towards us. I would just like to make it a few hours without dealing with her. “Dane, I’ve been looking for you.” Her statement was for Alpha Dane, but her eyes were ogling Devon.
“Veronica, now is not the time.”
‘I’ve been speaking to some of the others.” She continues anyway.
“Of course you have.”
“They are worried about her shifting.” She points at me, even though it was obvious who she meant.
Devon snorts.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know you.” She mutters, a small smile on her face as she uses her biceps to squeeze her breast even higher. She somehow trips, bumping inte me and Devon helps her back up.
“You can call me Devon.”
As she stands, I’m certain I see something in her hand, but no one says anything. Maybe I was imagining things. “Are you a guest?” She twirls her hair like a teenager
“You could say that.”
She giggles at his comment. Could she not see that we locked alike? Or was this supposed to be some kind of payback because Alpha Dane had turned her down? Was she trying to make him jealous?
Her grey eyes flicker to me anda slight sinister smile crosses her lips before she retunrs her gaze to ~ Devon: “How about you and I get something to eat?” She flutters her eyelashes at him. Content. belongs to“ <
‘I’m sorry, but you can’t offer me what I want.”
Her mouth hangs open as she frowns. “You don’t even know me.”
“And yet it is very clear who you are. The disgruntled ex, right? You saw a chance to irritate Neah and it failed.” “You don’t know what you are missing!” Veronica snaps, curling her hands up into balls.
“Oh I do, and it is so not worth it.
“BASTARD!
“Veronica.” Alpha Dane steps in, “You said you had been talking to the others.” Her eyes narrow at me. “We want to know when she is going to shift. We want to know if you are putting us in danger!
“Who is we?
“YOu, Veronica, you mean you.” Alpha Dane sighs. He pulls me ing against him, draping his arm over my shoulders. “Veronica, you may have-saved my life, but you are ruaning out of life lines.” Cantent bélongs ~
“I’m only asking a question.” She splutters
His voice drops to that commanding tone of his. “You are questioning my decisions.”
“No!” She was.so angry that she wasn’t getting her way. It made me wonder hawemany things she had ~ been alldéwed to get away with over the years. Just for a second, I
wished that she could experie iance thedife I had. Maybe then ste wWéuldn’t be such a bitch. Gontent
