Chapter 0547 Neah "Athena is happy to have the boys another night." Dane tellsas he takes off his shirt.
"I should be with them." I frown "Another night is not going to hurt them." Dane replies as I start to get out of bed. "And you need to rest." He leans down and softly kisses me. Lifting my tee, he tugs at it and kisses my bump. "Now tell me, why are you wearing clothes to bed?" "Just in case." No one wants to be caught out in the middle of the night while naked.
"You won't need them." He smiles atI tug the tee back over my bump, "It's hard to rest when I know that Serkan is somewhere nearby. He can't have just disappeared into thin air. Have you heard anything?" As much as I trusted Damien, I knew he would link Dane and notif there was a problem. Especially while I was supposed to be resting.
'It's like they have forgotten that we have been pregnant before. Nyx murmurs in annoyance I know. But I guess with everything that happened last time, everyone is just being extra cautious.' She huffs, though I felt the exact same. Apart from being ridiculously tired all the time, I felt fine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter years of being left to battle through life on my own, it was still hard to accept that there are people who care for me.
I look over to Dane and watch him in silence as he finishes undressing. When he gets into bed with me, his hand plants itself on my lower back and he pullsin closer, until his face is inches away from mine.
"Whether you are pregnant or not, I would still want to make sure you are safe." He whispers in the dark. "And before you tellthat you can protect yourself, I already know, but it doesn't change my desire to keep all of you safe." "Do you think he will try again soon?" I ask quietly. I hadn't seen Serkan at the gas station, just the aftermath. Only Dane had managed to get a small glimpse of him. While I hid in the bathroom like the scared little girl I used to be.
"He knows that you are pregnant. Thankfully, he still doesn't know about the boys. If he wants you dead, he will probably try again while you are pregnant." "And if he finds out about the boys, he will cafter them." I mutter and see him frown.* Before that happens, I will rip his heart from his chest. I mumble and curl into him.
The bed is empty when I wake. Lettingsleep in had beca new habit of his. Sometimes I liked it, other times it was frustrating. At least this time, I was in Black Shadow and not srandom hotel.
From the dim light creeping in around the curtains, I could tell it was early. I had probably only been asleep for a couple of hours.
Yawning, I creep across the floor, trying to remember where the squeaky floorboards are as I tiptoe around them. I didn't want to wake Mallory or Eric this early, not when they had stayed up with us to talk things through.
Silently making my way down the stairs, I almost miss the bottom step when I realise I could scent Silas. Peering around the comer, I see him sitting at the kitchen table, casually drinking coffee like he had been here his whole life.
"What are you doing here?" I splutter, feeling the pressure of my claws against the tips of my fingers.
"Arrived ten minutes ago. If you are looking for Dane, he is outside talking to Damien." "Why are you here?" I demand "Brax has gone to White Cliffs to retrieve my mate and child. Damien broughthere on the agreement that I would help you guys. That was the deal I was offered and I took it." "Just like that?" My hands move to my bump as one of the girls gives my bladder a sharp kick.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I figured this would be the best choice." "Why would he do that?" I ask "I guess he follows his Alpha and likes to make deals." "Not Damien." I speak through my clenched teeth as my bladder is booted again, "Why would Brax go to White Cliffs?" "Thalia wouldn't leave." He lowers his eyes. "She didn't believe me. But then again, why would she? I'm making her leader suddenly sound like a monster. Brax went because he said he isn't tied to the pack, they would be more accepting of him." "But she's your mate." I frown "If I go, we will all be killed." 'Brax must believe him if he offered to go.' Nyx sighs "Why didn't she believe you? You are mated. You have a child." I demand
"Apparently that stands for nothing when I am trying to take her away from the hshe knows and loves." He scowls. "Believe me, it doesn't scowls." make sense toeither, not after everything we have been through." "So Damien thought it was a good idea to bring you here? To our home?"
He dips his head and then locks his crimson eyes on mine "I'm sorry lit you disagree, "What if Thalia..." "She won't." He mutters before I get a chance to get my question out.
"You don't know what I'm going to ask." "You think she is working with Serkan." He stares at me.
"It wouldn't be the first Witch who has worked with him." I snap. "A fated mate bond is supposed to be the strongest thing in the world. It should outweigh what your Alpha wants or needs. She shouldn't have even questioned you." X
