Chapter 514

*There is a temporary Alpha.” Silas tells us.

“A temporary Alpha?” I ask

“Well, he isn’t the current true Kitson Alpha is he?” He smirks at me

“Are you his Beta?” Dane asks

*No, again, wrong word choice. From my understanding. A Beta for the current Kitson Alpha has already been established. That was what I was taught growing up.”

‘Is he talking about Samara? Nyx murmurs. I don’t reply. I’m too busy listening to all the information he is offering

“Who is running White Cliffs?” Dane presses. “Do you have a name for us? I was told you were given away to family. Not to White Cliffs”

*I do have a name, but you do not need to know until you decide to come meet with him.”

He doesn’t answer Danes other question

‘The family tree’. I mutter through mindlink to Dane. The name must be on there.’

Silas looks up and down the empty beach. “We can continue this conversation here, or we can take it to my rental. As I said, it is only up around the corner. I can offer some dry clothes while those dry out. You need to keep that pup warm.”

‘At least he doesn’t know everything. Nyx murmurs.

“We should go.” Dane tells him as he drops a protective arm around my shoulders.

*Actually Dane, I need a moment. I’m wet and I’m cold.”

Dane takes one look at me and nods

“Wise choice.” Silas agrees, turning away from us.

We follow him to a small beach house. “It’s not much, but it is only temporary.” He tells us as he starts stripping out of his wet top. “They are eagerly waiting for my return.”

Tattoos littered his chest and back. Animals, tribal patterns and even roman numerals are among the black shades.

“Do you mind?” Dane mutters at him

*Sorry. Privacy isn’t really a thing where I’m from.”

Dane wasn’t much into privacy either, but he seemed to be a little irritated by Silas’s blatant lack of respect. Was it because he thought I was suddenly going to jump on his twin? Cóntent from NóvelDrámá!!

Silas grabs a dry white shirt and fastens it quickly. “Here, this might work.” He offers me a robe, “Everything else will be too big. Bedroom is through there. I will start a fire. You can hang your clothes in front of it.”

I glance up at Dane, wondering what the chances were that he could keep the peace for a few minutes. “Thanks.” I mutter and disappear into the bedroom.

Quickly stripping out of the wet dress and underwear. I wrap the fluffy blue robe around me and sit on the edge of the bed in silence. There had been no words exchanged so far. No whispers. No heated argument. No talking at all. I expected something more than deathly silence.

‘They need to talk.’ I murmur to Nyx. They need to figure out each other.

“They will.” She tells me

A few more minutes go by and I hear Dane ask “Why are you really here?”

“I don’t think you are going to like my answer.” Silas tells him.

*So you are here for a reason then. You know she had hoped you weren’t here for some kind of power move. But it looks as though she might be wrong.”

“It’s no power move. I do not want anything to do with your pack. We were not raised together. I was not pushed to lead this pack that you inherited from our father. I don’t expect anything from you. I was given a different opportunity. One that is far more satisfying than being an Alpha.”

*Every Wolf wishes for a title.” Dane fires back and Cooper told a woman that you were an Alpha.”

*Cooper spun a lot of shit. I will say it’s a good job he is dead. And as for titles, it doesn’t work like that in White Cliffs.” Silas is probably giving Dane that lopsided grin. “Do you know the story of the war? How Lycans went into hiding so they could repopulate what they had lost?”

“I have been told.”

I quietly shuffle to the door. I open it just a crack to make sure I hear everything.

*Just because there are vast numbers now, it does not mean there is a need for more titles. In White Cliffs, everyone falls under two people. One Alpha and the one predetermined Beta. I could want a title, but it would be pointless. I can’t have something that isn’t mine.” He cocks a brow, “Well I guess I could, but that would mean killing the Alpha and I have no interest in that. Besides, I like my head where it is.”

I was certain Dane was staring at him in a way that said ‘you better tell me more.

*The temporary Alpha has a thing about removing heads. All Kitsons seem to have a style.”

Dane was likely mulling over me, ripping out people’s hearts. “You keep saying the temporary Alpha.”

*Temporary is what he wants to be known as. He handed over control of White Cliffs to his daughter a long time ago. But she skipped town to be with another man. So he was forced to step back up.”

‘Is he talking about my mother? Because that makes no sense if they could be with a Wolf.’

‘He said another man.’ Nyx mumbles back. “She was already with someone.”

I fling the door open and stare at the men. “I… I have a grandfather.”

“You do. And my job is to give you an invitation to come home.”
