Chapter 0225


    Dane


    He’s being serious. I see the way he stares at me with his ridiculously dark eyes. If he was a Wolf, I


    would have knocked him down a peg or two.


    “I don’t think they are or were even remotely interested in Salem.” I roll my eyes. I was just happy


    salem was dead. I didn''t really care who did it as long as I don''t have to deal with him and his


    fucked up ways anymore.


    “Remember it was Salem who killed Jess. I’ve watched Jenson, I’ve seen how his mind works. He


    convinces those around him to do the work for him.” Damien mutters


    “No he…”


    Damien cocks a brow. “You don’t see it Dane? He was head of war tactics. They don’t put


    themselves in the middle of it all, not usually. They try to control the situation. They see what they


    think is best and have everyone around them fight the battle so that they can stay in control.”


    ‘How is he always right?’ Aero mutters


    Damien leans back in the chair, screwing up his nose at the lingering scent of Eric. “He would


    actually fit in well with the Rogues. Maybe that''s why he went to the Lycan that looks like Neah. He


    wanted someone to do his bidding.”


    “Damien!” I give a warning growl. He was pushing it.


    “Weren’t you the one to tell me Jenson always wanted what you had. Your position, your power,


    your mate?”


    “You are treading on thin ice!”


    “You just said that maybe it was a good thing that I didn’t agree with you on everything. I never


    came here to be yourckey. I came here to protect Neah and if that means helping you see things


    that you can’t or just refuse to, then I will tell it how it is.”


    “I know somewhere in there, you care for your brother, Dane. Because I cared for mine too, right up


    until he crossed the line. But you are letting that cloud your judgement even now. I will protect Neah


    and if that means killing this woman that looks like her….”


    “ir.” I seethe


    “And your brother. Then I will.” He continues


    It was clear that he was serious.


    “All your ideas are hypothetical. We don’t know if it was her that killed Salem.”


    “What’s the likelihood of it not being her or them?” Damien challenges. "As I said, Jenson rarely


    does anything for himself."


    ‘He has a point.’ Aero mumbles ‘Jenson wants your spot. He finds someone that just happens to be


    Neah’s half sister and now….’ He trails off


    ‘What?’ I snap


    ‘He wants the pack.’


    I was about to answer my Wolf when the phone in the corner of my office started to ring.


    My eyes shift to it. Thest time it had rung was when I had received the request from Moonshine.


    The phone was there for other packs to contact me when they needed my help, though they


    wouldn’t ring unless they were desperate and since nearly all my contracts were severed during the


    battle. It didn''t ring anymore.


    And contacting me always came with a price.


    I hold a hand up to Damien, insisting he stays.


    I pick up the phone without speaking.


    “Dane, this is Ryan, the Alpha of Ashburn city.” He blurts out before I even say hello. I wanted to


    laugh at the way he introduced himself. He still hadn’t quite figured out how to assert his dominance


    as an Alpha.

    “I hope you don’t think that I want to enter into a contract. I never contacted you. They came to me.”


    He sputters out in a hurry, almost tripping up on his words. “I told them the same. And though I am


    grateful for what they have done, I was hoping there was another way I could repay you.”


    They? So ir had lied when she said she hadn’t seen my brother for months.
