I still had more questions, but I think this was his way of saying the conversation was over. I almost hope that he is reading my mind so he knows how frustrated I am.

His eyes flicker to me, but he doesn’t speak as we walk through the house and out the back door. He leads me across the grounds, nodding his head at various people but still doesn’t speak to me.

Stopping in front of a house, I couldn’t help but notice how it was run down in comparison to all the others here. Run down was the wrong term, not as perfect as the other homes.

Giant vines ran all over the building, snaking their way around the windows. Weeds stood tall in front of the house and the path that led to the door was full of cracks.

Alpha Dane raps on the door and pushes it open before someone even answers. He tugs me into the dimly lit house, giving my hand a little reassuring squeeze.

I shake my head at him and glance at Alpha Dane.

‘You will be fine, I will be right here,’ His voice fills my head again.
