“What an absolute bitch!” I snap to myself in annoyance. How could they come from the same father but be so different.
Damien swings the front door open. He had made sure Neah had returned to Dane before joining me.
“What the fuck was that shit you were playing at?” He demands. “I had to tell Neah that it was my idea for you to be hiding in the fucking trees.”
“Why did you do that?”
“Because everything you do, she finds suspicious. You are just lucky she believe it. Are you trying to get yourself killed now?”
“No, I just… I thought I could help by keeping watch. No one will let me join in on guard duty so I figured I would do it myself and we all know Rogues and Lycans like trees.”
“Why didn’t you just tell me what you were doing?”
“Because you probably would have said no. You seem to have forgotten that I used to watch over the Rogues before you. That I would keep an eye out for anyone driving through the town. And it was a good job I was in the trees. Neither of you saw the gun that was stuck down the back of her stupid leather leggings!”
“A gun?” He meets me with the same surprise as when I saw it.
“Yes! Not the first thing that comes to mind for a weapon used by a Lycan, right, but I know what I saw!”
I hold the pot of coffee up to him and gesture if he wants one. He nods, slowly sitting at the table as he absorbs my words.
“You think she was going to kill Neah?”
“I don’t know. All I know is that the moment she asked to speak to Neah alone, I had to do something. Neah may still hate me, but if I can prevent her death, I will.” I shrug my shoulders. I was tired of trying to prove myself but I will continue to do it as long as I am here and alive.
“I appreciate what you did.”
“But she doesn’t, does she?” I sigh. “I don’t know what else I can do, Damien. If I just sit around, I feel like I’m just waiting for the day that Neah decides enough is enough and she is going to have me killed. If I do something, it’s wrong. If I don’t do anything, it’s wrong. I’ve said it to you many times, but maybe now, now is the time I leave, for good.”
“No.” His answer is blunt. No reasoning to why he said no. Just the one singular word.

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...
I love this book!!!...

I love the way you are continuing the story. It's easy to follow, easy to pause, and easy to get back on track with. Me having three little children, it's hard to find "me time" but when I do I get caught up with this book. I love it!!!!...
