Chapter 0445 "I know, it's just..." "Dark memories?" She nods her head. "If Dane had never cto that house, I could be in a whole different situation right now. Or maybe even dead. I would never have gained my Lycan. I probably would have died never knowing who I really was. And it's not just Trey, Cassandra or even Kyle or the others. It's where I watched my parents die. Something I was framed for." Her blue eyes lock on to mine. "How is it that one word can take you right back there?" "It's the way our brains are wired. But you survived, Neah. You becsomething that they never got a chance to see. You have several hundred Lycans here that will follow you into battle if needed and you wouldn't even need to order them. They would do it freely." "Thanks Damien." She givesa small smile.

"Then I better go and pack a few things and make sure the boys are ready for Mallory." "Not Athena and Sebastian?" "No. They haven't had to deal with Evrin shifting yet. And I'm not sure they are ready for that." Dane drives while Klaus sits in the passenger seat telling Dane about how and why Brax thinks he is a Witch Hunter. I roll my eyes because Brax seems to be getting more and more things wrong lately and I wouldn't trust a single word that comes out of his mouth.
"That doesn't make sense." Dane mutters I glance over at Neat while listening to the conversation. She's asleep with her arm tucked up behind her head to create a makeshift pillow.
"She's nervous." Dane mutters. "Sleeping will give her a break." "She toldit was the memories." I reply "You knew what Cassandra was like. If I had it my way, I would have seen her head on a spike for the life she forced my mate to live." "You think this will give her closure of the past?" Klaus asks "We will find out soon enough." At the fuel station, we switch over so I can drive. The moment Dane gets in the back, he pulls a sleepy Nesh towards him. She curls up next to him, her head on his lap and his hand protectively on her stomach. I wondered if either of them knew yet.
Following Dane's directions, we turn off into a narrow road. But the trees and bushes have becso overgrown that we have to abandon the car and walk the remainder of the way.

"Where are the other houses?" Klaus asks "Around back. It's backwards here. The main house isn't protected by the others." Dane replies Ripping the Ivy from the door, I push it open. The musty scents of dust, death and decay fill the air. Klaus gags as he enters and I try not to laugh. "Are you sure you are a Wolf?" I muse "It was unexpected." He mutters back "No one has been here for a long time. How could it be unexpected?"
Neah doesn't move from the porch. Her eyes are wide as she stares up at the front of the house Dane move's back to her, holding out his hand without saying a single word. She sighs, but she takes it and follows him inside. "Split up?" I suggest and Dane agrees Upstairs, aside from the smell and dust, everything appears immaculate. One by one, I search the bedrooms, not finding anything of importance.
There's a tiny bedroom at the end of the hallway, not even big enough to swing a cat. I knew it was Neah's bedroom the moment Ppushed open F the door. Her scent still lingered but there was nothing here other than a small bed and an old rotting wooden dresser. No photos, no toys or artwork. "She arrived with just a carrier bag of clothes," Klaus mutters as he steps in behind me. "The first tI met her, she was so afraid. She probably thought she was leaving one hell for another." "Back when I was Human. I killed other Humans that were like Trey and Cassandra. Ones that hurt children and took thern away from their parents. Sometimes it was even the parents that needed punishing. If I had known...."
'That was how Cassandra was. Even Mallory said she didn't see it and she spent a lot of there. We nevereven knew of Moonshine's existence. Not until the leader asked Dane for help. It was a bit of a surprise that there was a pack living so close and yet it wasn't on our radar. That was the mistake Trey made. That's when everything went downhill for him." "Yet it was Neah that suffered." Ashburn
