Chapter 0061 There was that rare spike in her thoughts. Almost a dark side that was trapped by who she had becover the years. Most people would find it unsettling, but it turnedon. It was enticing and I wanted to bring it to the surface There's a brisk knock on the door that's accompanied with Raven's scent. Stopping our conversation, and from Neah's thoughts, I could tell she was grateful for the break.
"Cin." I call to my sister "Hey," Her eyes move betweenand Neah, trying to read the situation. “Can I take Neah shopping?" "Shopping? "There's a couple of us going into the city. I thought maybe Neah would like to join us. Or am I interrupting something serious again?" "It's up to Neah." I look at my mate, still listening to her thoughts.
She shakes her head. "I'm not....I'm not ready for that." her eyes flicker to me,. "It might not be safe." "Nothing can go wrong. It's neutral territory. No one is allowed to fight there. And I will be there." Raven pleads. "We will keep you safe." "Who is we?" I ask curiously "Me, Klaus..." She names a couple of others "Klaus is going?" Shopping was definitely not his thing.

She mocks, “And I assumed you would prefer us to have a chaperone." "So you roped him in? "Yep!" I turn to Neah. "She isn't wrong. The city is neutral. I trust Klaus." "What about Trey?" She whispers.
'I'm assuming the city is somewhere he wouldn't go." I fix my eyes on Raven. "If there's a problem...." "We will get her out of there." Moving to Neah, I pull her around to faceproperly, "Raven has been to the city at least once a week since she was a kid. She knows it better than anyone. f you don't want to go, then that is also fine." "You don't....you don't wantto go." She keeps her eyes low. "I can feel it." "I would prefer you to be somewhere that I can easily reach you at any point of the day. But that is not going to help you get over your fears. I trust my sister, I trust Klaus, they are not going to put you in danger. And if anyone tries anything, they would be fucking stupid." "All the Wolves know who my brother is." Raven adds. "Salem made sure of that." She claimed she didn't blme for Salem rejecting her, but certain phrases hadthinking differently. Choosing not to respond to her comment, I keep my attention on my mate. "It's your choice Neah." "What if I...." "We will have to trust that you won't. I could feel Raven's eyes burning into the back of my head. I still hadn't told her that Neah was a Lycan.
"I'm sorry, what??" Raven's eyes immediately go to Neah when I break the news. "Are you seriously tellingthat she looks like that thing you killed?" "Yes." "So she isn't a Wolf?" Raven is glaring atas she demands answers. "Technically, from my understanding. they are part Wolf.
"Technically?" She splutters "Yes." 'Well this is going well.' Aero groans "Okay, so the guy in the dungeon, claiming to be her brother. He is one too?" Raven asks "Yes." "And you are letting him live?" "For now. Are you challenging my decision?" It was a rhetorical question. A warning to drop the attitude.
She turns to Neah, quickly softening her tone: and dropping her attitude: Most likely realising that what she is asking, would apply to Neah. 'Are you rokay?" Content belongs ite) Neah shakes her head.
"Then you definitely need to cinto the city. Get away from this crap for a few hours. Clear your head and spend a shit load of my brother's money." Neah's blue eyes flash to me.
"It's your choice." Reluctantly, she agrees to go, though she spends the next hour checking that I was okay with her decision She asksa final tbefore getting in the car with the others.
"Just try to enjoy yourself." I tell her Raven pulls her into the car. "I will keep an eye on her. If it's too much, we will cback." "You don't normally like the clingy ones." Eric mutters as we watch the car drive away.

"She mosthyfocussed on the news I was letting Devon live. Took her a m momentto realise that if she wanted Devon-dead for what he is, she would be a hypocrite for notuvanting Neah dead." Content belongs to -

I nod my head in agreement. My sister had never been the greatest at social engagements, it's why shen preferred the hospital "There's something I need you to do for me." I mutter as the car rounds the bend and it quickly leaves my sight. “You wantto keep an eye on her?" "Just as a precaution." Ashburn >
