“It’s the better plan.” Brax nods as he messes with his mop of black curls. “Neah isn’t wrong. If there are others involved, they would expect her to come back looking like a mess. Or maybe never coming back at all.”
“And you don’t want us to tell Klaus?” Mallory asks as she bounces Logan on her knees, “Why?”
“As much as I appreciate all the work Klaus has done for this pack and for Neah, I’m worried someone will use his desire for knowledge to get information from him. He is very open about answering questions and that might just get him into trouble. The only people that need to know what is happening are in this office.”
Everyone nods apart from Neah. Her blue eyes lock onto mine but she keeps her lips pressed together. She knows there is more to what I’m saying, but chooses not to share.
“Any signs of Maddie?” Damien asks.
“No.” Neah sighs as she rocks back and forth with Evrin in her arms.
“And you didn’t kill Blair?” He presses.
“No.”
“She was scared.” Brax adds.
“You were scared?” Eric asks Neah, confused.
“No, Blair was.” Brax smiles to himself
“She deserves to be after everything she has done.” Damien frowns at Brax. “I thought you of all people would have ended her.”
I watch Brax look over at Neah. She had told him not to, though I hadn’t had a chance to ask her why.
‘Maybe because she has lost her abilities.’ Aero mutters. ‘Maybe she doesn’t see her as a threat anymore.’
“There were no others in the area. Eric and I did a sweep.” Brax is telling the others. “There were no other tracks. It was just those three.” “But there were also no scents.” Neah adds. “There could have been more and we just didn’t know about it.”
“So they have found a way to completely mask their scent? How?” Damien asks
“I’m guessing Cooper has something
to do with it. mean, he took away Blair and Samara’s Lycan abilities without binding them. And
according to Samara, he’s done it to others too, both men and women, both Wolves and Lycans. The guy doesn’t have a preference. Neah tells them
“But Maddie?” Mallory asks. “She hasn’t done anything wrong. She has problems, but who doesn’t? So how does she fit in all of this?”
“He didn’t like that he saw us together. I was going to kill him. Madison stopped me, she said she would talk to him. She should have let me pull the trigger.”
“You didn’t know he was going to do this.” Mallory mutters.
“I should have trusted my instincts but……” He doesn’t finish. We had all been there. Caught up in the moment with your mate, so much that you don’t always think properly in the moment. A few seconds could change everything.
“Have you had any problems with the dead Wolves?” Damien asks, taking the attention away from Brax.
“No.”

“That’s not completely true.” Eric mutters. He looks over to me. “A couple of years back. Fallon was one of the ones questioning your decision to let Neah stay, just after you announced she was a Lycan. Remember, he was trying to get the pack worked up, but it just didn’t happen.”
“Why would he wait this long to do something?” Neah asks. “Why wait until there are more Lycans here? Why wait at all?”
“Because he is an idiot!” Brax mutters, cleaning his gun. “All he needed was someone else to confirm his problems. My guess is Cooper did exactly that. And now those three are dead. Nothing short of what they deserve.”
“Will you put that away!” I snap. Brax rolls his eyes at me and slips the gun inside his belt.
“What about the others? Past problems with them?” Damien asks Eric.
“No, in fact they have always done exactly what they are supposed to do. There has never been any trouble from them. Jenson didn’t fuck either one over. They have always been proud to have been part of Black Shadow.” He turns to me “Just like everyone else. We could be dealing with any number of problems, Dane or we could just be dealing with this one Lycan. We just don’t know.”
“Can you tell?” Neah asks Brax
“Possibly,”
“I need a better answer than that.” She snaps at him
“I will see what I can do.”
“Don’t go killing any of them without talking to me first.” I tell him as he heads for the door.
