Tucking Neah into bed, she frowns at me but doesn’t quite look at me. “I’m okay.”
“No you are not.”
“I just need to sleep.” She tells me, closing her eyes.
*****
Six days of sitting by her bed in the hospital and she still hadn’t opened her eyes.
Beneath the surface, the girls are active and move like crazy, but Neah remains as still and as silent as the day I brought her in.
I had been alerted by Aero to go and check on her. I had walked in the bedrrom to find Neah coughing and spluttering as she gasped for breath. Fast asleep, she was choking on her own vomit.
The nurses had tested her for every possible thing they could think of, but everything came back fine. They couldn’t find a problem with anything in her body. It made it a hundred times more frustrating because there was nothing inside her that needed healing. Apart from being unresponsive, there was nothing else wrong with her.
I lean forward, resting my elbows on the bed and holding her hand between mine. I had tried linking her, tried searching her mind, but there is just silence. And everyday I beat myself up over it. Flickering between anger and guilt. I had done this by not telling her about Klaus. I had hurt her to the point that she was no longer functioning.
“Neah, you have to wake up.” I kiss the hand that I’m holding, desperate for a sign. Just like the other days, there is nothing. “The boys miss you. I miss you.”
A knock on the door pulls my attention away. Mallory comes in and hands me a coffee. “You need to keep your strength up.” She tells me
“The boys?”
“With Eric and Luca.” She tells me as she settles into the chair on the other side of Neah. “Evrin is a little more clingy than Logan, but he is okay. Eric is really good at keeping them entertained.”
“Thanks.” I murmur
“You know you don’t need to ask us. We will always help.”
“You were supposed to leave with the others.” I mutter
“You haven’t looked around your pack, have you Dane? None of us left. We all know what it could mean and yet we are ready to stand by you and Neah. All the children will be kept safe. Ryken has been working on something for the past week, in the basement of what’s going to be the new packhouse. Besides, Serkan hasn’t shown himself since that night.”
“That we know of.”
“Either way, we are not leaving. Your Wolves follow you. The Lycans follow her. Together, we make a strong team.”
She sits quietly, sipping on her coffee as I watch for any signs of Neah waking up.

Next chapter??? Must know what happens!!...
These new chapters ate shorter than paragraphs. Makes reading this story quite annoying at the moment...
So... after 546 now what? I know this cannot just be the end of the story? So when is there a new chapter? I've literally read this in 4 days!...
Hi, I’m usually a silent reader, and first of all, I love the story, but is it possible to avoid the blue texts? Cuz a lot of us are missing a lot of the story due to the texts not loading. I am missing a lot no matter have many times I try to reload. If not, that’s okay as well. Thank you for the amazing entertainment and content...
Loving this story! Can’t wait for you to add more 😁...
Is it just me or are the blue text not loading and every other time I try the captcha it pops up a new tab? Other than that live the story...
