It was a surprise that she had said so much. More than a sentence and she would usually clam up. Maybe she was finally relaxing enough to feel she could talk more freely.

I don't need to. I’m pretty certain she has already put two and two together. The rosy skin was a give away.’ I know he is desperate to have her, to claim her. Just as I was, but we had a new problem. Kyle

If I marked her, I would watch her die and there would be nothing I could do about it. Neah would be in so much pain as her body burned from the: inside out. I'm cruel, but the Moon Goddess's rules were on another level.

Her eyes hover on my face. slightly off focus. I knew she was fighting back tears again as she replayed my words in her head.

Out of all my brides, she was the only one who surprised me.

Because she isn't brain washed like the others.’ Aero muses.

No, but her awareness of our world is limited.’ I mutter back as Neah wipes away a stray tear.

“Are you going to take me back?” She asks in a whisper

“Why would I do that?”

“"Y... You said that you couldn’t mark me.”

“Yet. I can't mark you yet.” I rise to my feet and turn away from her. “Get some more sleep, Neah. I promise you it will help with the healing process.” “Are you leaving?”

“I'm just going to see someone about unbinding you. You won't be alone. Eric and Raven will be in the house if you need anything.” Meeting my brother in the foyer, he cocks an eyebrow at me. “Bit smart for a meeting with a witch.”

“She wants us to meet her in a high profile place.” I look up and down at his jeans and hoodie, "I don’t want to bring more attention to myself than needed. I suggest you go and change.”

He returns ten minutes later in a grey shirt and deep blue jeans. “Better.” I mutter

The driver is standing next to the limo with the door wide open. I give him the name of the restaurant and he bobs his head. “Do you actually think she can help us?” Jenson asks as the door is closed on us.

“It's a long shot. Even if she can’t, maybe she knows someone who can help Neah.”

“You really like this one, don’t you?”

My eyes flicker up to him. He had been warned one too many times about bringing up the women I was interested in.

He zips his lips shut, pretending to throw away the key.

“Alpha Dane.” She greets me with a smile. “It has been a long time.

“Madame Curie. Thank you for agreeing to meet us.” I watch how she drowns her drink so I offer to get another. “No need, but tell your brother to sit down. He is drawing an awful lot of attention to himself.”

JENSON! I link him and he silently slides into the booth.

“Now tell me more about this girl.” Madame Curie asks

“She's my bride, as I mentioned on the phone.”

“Yes, but why are you coming to see me? Have you chosen a human, is that the problem?"

“No, no, she is definitely a Wolf, it's just her abilities have been bound

“Twice.” Jenson mutters

“Twice?” Madame Curie asks. She leans back in the seat. "Is this why you want to meet me, you believe I have something to do with it?” “No, not at all. I was hoping you would know of a way to unbind her.”

“There is a way, yes. It won't be easy, but tell me. Why was she bound?”

I look around, dropping my voice. “She was accused of killing her parents. But she was just six. Then she was bound again when they realised she could scent her mate.”

She taps her long nails on the table. And smiles I ‘Strong Alpha blood 2 must rit through her veins. Sa r assume you want her to have her wolfto break the bond with ber mate?” ta. -

“It's a little more complicated than that, but yes.”

She purses her lips as she studies me. “It can be done, but it will cost.”

“Give me a number.”

She puts her elbows on the table and rubs her knuckles. “One million.

Jenson spits his drink out all over the table. "Bro, you can't be serious. Not just for some girl. You can go out and choose another mate.” “Shut up!" I snap at him.

Locking eyes with Madame Curie. I nod, “Done, you unbind her. You will get your money.”

She bobs her head and rises from her seat. “Just one thing, Alpha Dane. as it will help. Which pack is the girl from?”

“Moonshine.
