Dane

Anger resided heavily in her heart. Even after everything she had been through, Neah was never this angry. It was odd but fascinating to see the fire in her eyes, all because of this girl.

She leans back against the wall of Eric’s house. Tilting her head back to stare at the blue sky. Her body slides down until her ass hits the grass. She had so much anger and she had no idea what to do with it. No idea how to channel it.

“Jess will be fine.” I mutter, I wasn’t just about to throw a kid out on the streets. A kid that knows nothing of what she will become and I couldn’t risk returning her to her home. Her first shift will be a nightmare and if she doesn’t kill her family, it would be a fucking miracle.

“Right.” Neah murmurs. Her eyes are almost a solid black “Someone here will take her in. I won’t throw her out.

“This won’t be the first. will it? He will change more kids, and send them our way.” She looks up at me. “I knew he was bad, but this? This is sick, this .” she trails off, unable to streamline her thoughts

“What he did to you was sickening too, Neah

She quickly brushes her cheeks, ridding the tears before they had even appeared.

“I want him dead, Alpha Dane. I want them all dead.”

“I know. And I am working on it.”

His death needs to be slow.’ Aero muses. ‘He needs to feel every inch of pain that he has caused others. Neah needs her revenge.” The door is pulled open. “Guys. I could really do with your help.

I hold my hand out to Neah, she pauses, eventually taking it and gets to her feet. I notice how her eyes are almost blue again.

Jess is sobbing, her hands pawing at her skin as she examines the mark on her neck. “What…what did they do to me?

Neah seems to freeze. Jess’s words were probably something she had said to herself over and over. To hear someone else say it, it was probably causing flashbacks.

“Jess, come and have a seat. I need to talk to you about something.” I try to keep my tone warm. Her soft blue eyes catch mine and I see her gulp.

“Please sir, I just want to go home to my family. To my mum and Dad, to my little sister. Please? I won’t tell them anything. I won’t…” Her fingers dig at her neck

“We can explain that to you.” I offer, keeping myself calm and trying not to scare her anymore than she already is.

Her eyes search my face and more tears roll:down over her cheeks. Efic gets hera tissue, but she just stands there,staring at me, not even trying to hide her tears. “I’m not… Ln not going home, am I?” Content ‘belongs to“ <

It’s not as simple as that, I’m afraid.”

She wipes the sweat from her NN hairline. Eis quietly moves to the open. seat at the table. Tuckings” strands of her red hair behindher ears. “Please, please don’t. Hurt me.”

“I’m going to tell you something that you probably won’t believe. All I request is that you have an open mind. “Your eyes are so weird.” She wipes the snot from her nose as she tries to control her racing heart. Crimson eyes would be strange if I were human.

“The bite on your neck was from a Lycan.” There was no point circling the issue

She closes her eyes and shakes her head. “Like….like the stories.”

“Stories?”

She takes the glass of water from Eric and drinks it slowly, swallowing every last drop. “Stories in the library” she murmurs, putting the empty glass back dewn

How was it possible the human library had more stories about Lycans then we did?

“Was I hunted? Was I chosen? Why would you want me? I’m nobody. I barely scrape by at school. They all hate me because. …well, because they do.”

Fifteen year ald girls were such hard work. She had missed the point that I was trying to make. I definitely don’t miss being fifteen. “I don’t have all the answers right now. I am working on them.” “So.” she sighs. “what you are telling me is that you are a Lycan?”

“lam not a Lycan

“OMG youF ‘rea fucking Vampire.” Her chair is thrown back as she jumps to her feetShe holds her fingers irra cross:as though that would be-the thingtto save her. “The eyes.should hawe known.” She screeches
