Chapter 0010

In the kitchen, Dottie tells Dane what she told me as she waits patiently for her bowl of ice cream.

"Do you know where he is now?" Dane asks when he thinks she has finished.

She closes her eyes. Her long lashes fan out across the tops of her cheeks. "It's dark. He needs to turn on a light.

I think... I think Daddy is hiding." She shakes her head and presses her hands to her temples. "It hurts."

"You can see his soul?" Dane asks in confusion. "From here?"

She shrugs and shakes her head. "A feeling."

Danes eyes move to me. I didn't have an answer. It was the first time I had heard of it, but then again, she did have a bad feeling about Raven at the end.

"Is he still with Klaus?" I ask Dane. "You said they were together. I will link him."

He holds a hand up to me as a strange glaze appears in his crimson eyes. A range of expressions from concern to annoyance to anger flicker across his face.

"He's mad," Dottie whispers to me. She shoves a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth as she quietly watches Dane.

"They are alive." Dane finally announces. "They got out before the fire could take hold. Brax, Klaus and his mate, Xavi." His eyes settle on mine. "Silas's mate, Indy and her friend."

"Really?" Dottie asks. "They found her Silas's friend?"

Dane nods. "And they escaped into the sea."

"Deepwater," Dottie mutters.

Dane smiles, "They are hiding in a cove and waiting for the sea to die down so they can return here. We need to be ready for what follows them."

"What about?" I didn't want to say her name in front of Dottie. As requested by Neah, I hadn't told Samara about her mother. I needed to know more before she knew the truth, and I didn't want Dottie telling her.

"I don't know. Klaus said there was an incident. He wouldn't tell me more than that."

"Daddy is going to be okay?" Dottie asks.

"I won't make that promise to you, Dorothy," Dane tells her with a small smile. "All I know is that he is okay at this moment. And he will be home as soon as he can."

She nods and shoves more of the melted ice cream in her mouth. "I'm sorry everyone had to leave school."

"It's okay." I kiss the top of her head, and she smiles at me.

"Can I play with the boys?" She asks hopefully.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Sure," Dane tells her and helps the boys down out of their chairs. They eagerly follow Dottie from the room, giggling as they chase her.

"What are you not telling me?" I ask when it is just the two of us.

"Indy is a half-breed. Half Wolf, half Witch that Silas mentioned. But she and Brax have blood-tied themselves to one another."

"Blood tie? What about Maddie? You said Indy is Silas's true mate."

He frowns. "I don't know. Maddie doesn't deserve this, but there must be a reason they did it."

"That doesn't make any sense, why would he blood-tie himself to a Witch? After all the shit with Cooper and now

Thalia."

"Your guess is as good as mine as to why. We both know Brax likes to work on his own terms."

I glance at the door where Dottie had left with the boys. "What do you think she meant by Brax turning on a light? Is this woman a threat?"

"She is not the same person as Thalia, and it sounds like she has been helping them." He shakes his head." Dottie said something similar to Silas. She might be talking about something different, but like I said, we need to prepare ourselves. This might be the thing that brings Serkan out of hiding."
