Chapter 0265


    Mallory


    “She’s not angry.” Eric tells me as he walks me home. “You have to remember that she hasn’t been


    a Lycan for long. A lot of things are still new for her.”


    “I know. They lied to her, convincing her that she is a Wolf.” They kept reminding me of that every


    chance they got. But she also needed to know that her past didn''t define her.

    “It’s more than that. Imagine what it’s been like to be lied to her entire life. To be thrown into


    something she knew nothing about. To have had everything taken from her. From where I’m


    standing, she’s handling it pretty damn well.”


    I smirk. “us said something like that.”


    “We are not wrong. Compared to what she was like, she’s a different person now.”


    “You think she’s frustrated?”


    He nods with a sad smile. “Frustrated with herself, because trust me, you would know if she was


    angry. Everything is a learning curve. Not everyone settles into something so easily. I know she is


    capable of doing what you are asking her too. I was there when she ordered hundreds of Lycans,


    bitten and pureblood to bring her their own leader.”


    “Okay, but we are running out of time.”


    “You don’t know that. ir showed up once and then didn’t show up again for months.”


    “Right.” I frown, but my gut instinct was telling me we didn’t have months. “Howe you were in


    the house?”


    “I was speaking to Dane.”


    “And?”


    “He has asked me to be a second Beta.”


    “Alongside Damien?”


    “Yes. And I have agreed. I need to get back some normality.”


    We stop outside my house and the light catches his eyes. He had beautiful eyes that were different


    colours depending on how the sun caught them. Right now they were almost an aquamarine, but if


    he turned his head a little more, they looked more honey coloured. Strange yet fascinating.


    “Not tonight. I need to work.”


    “Right.” I try to keep the disappointment out of my tone. I knew he could feel it. But he doesn’t say


    anything and that frustrates me.


    He kisses my forehead and turns away, telling me he would see me in the morning.


    We had slept together the day he marked me and then again when I was in heat. That took ce


    when Neah believed I was avoiding her. When the reality was, I was in bed with Eric having the best


    orgasms ever. It had to be something to do with the mate bond connecting us to make it feel so


    damn good.


    Since then, nothing but a few kisses and I feel like my insides are wing at me to pin him down.


    Time together was limited because he still didn’t seem to know how he felt about our situation. One


    minute he wanted me nearby, the next he was telling me to leave.


    Now, there were just two reasons for me to stay here. At least that is double the amount from when


    Ist checked.


    Following my usual routine, I make a cup of tea and take it outside, settling on the stones that make


    up my small porch. Only tonight I wasn’t watching people.


    us had lent me an oldptop and I was determined to find something to do with other Lycans.


    I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for. Maybe strange sightings, strange animal rted deaths.


    I might as well put my mind to some use if I wasn’t going to getid tonight.


    The grounds of the pack get quieter and quieter until darknesspletely sets in. I had already


    refilled my cup three times and still, I had found nothing. I should have expected it really. We kept


    our location hidden when we were protecting the Rogues and us had mentioned something


    about Lycans going into hiding ording to this Aldous Kitson.


    Plus humans were naive to what happened around them. Those stories of wars were just myths to


    them, unless someone brought you in, like Cassandra.


    Just when I’m ready to give up, I find a story from around twenty years ago about a teenager saving


    a woman from a monstrous beast.
