"Keys." I mutter, holding out my hand for them. I wasn't letting Brax drive after that fucking car chase. I didn't need to die in something so meaningless as a car crash.

Brax rolls his eyes and hands them over. "Pussy." He mutters with a smirk

*Really? Do you want my help or not?" I tut back at him. "Because I'm more than happy to go back to my mate who is looking after Dottie!"

"Fine." He snaps, walking around to the passenger side.

"It annoys you that Dottie likes Samara, doesn't it?" I muse and feel him glare at me.

"Acceptance takes time. You can't deny that."

Tuming the car around, I head in the direction of the beach. It was a good distance yet and the only company had was a man who likes to kill my kind for fun. He was useful, I knew that, but it doesn't mean he won't suddenly change his mind and try to put a bullet in my head. If he ever tries taking me down, I will take him down with me.

And he probably knew that.

*Are we certain that Silas doesn't know about Serkans location?" He asks, fumbling with the radio

*You were the one who told Dane that Silas was telling the truth."

"He was, about the invitation. Or as we now know, the truth he believed."

*Neah said soemthing similar earlier." I frown. "About how if you don't know differently, you believe it. How it was her truth."

*She isn't wrong. The brain works in funny ways. She also didn't have Nyx to help her replace her way."

I look over to him as he continues trying to decide on a radio station. "Will you choose a damn channel!' "There are situations." He mutters with a scowl. "In Neahs case, everyone around her followed the same pattern. In Moonshine, no one was allowed to shift around her, so she never saw what they looked like. She was fed bullshit on a day to day basis. If your mind doesn't know any better, it becomes your truth whether it's a lie or not. Your brain has the ability to alter your memories. It's like raising a child to believe certain things. If she had known the truth, her life could be very different right now."

Mallory had told me all about Neah when she first started helping me. If I was certain she had survived Mallory's beating, I would have gone to replace her then. "So ultimately, they are lying without lying."

"Nailed it. Sometimes it's not always black and white, there is a whole range of colours to wade through."

"Are you talking about the souls you see?"

He nods and waves his fingers through the air while grinning. "Yours is all kinds of colours."

I roll my eyes at him. I was probably the only one who still hadn't asked him about my own soul. I didn't care to know. No one should know everything.

*This guy, Serkan, seems to have a weird hold over everyone in White Cliffs." He tells me. "You told me that Lycans were stopped from coming to see Neah."

"That's what Silas told the others at the beach." I confirm. "They had heard her call and they were excited but yet they were blocked by Serkan from coming. But Silas didn't know why."

"That right there could possibly have been what triggered all this shit."

"Because Neah linked them?"

He bobs his head. "She was doing something to benefit her family, not knowing there was another Kitson out there. He knew of her, yet has never bothered to meet his granddaughter. Stop the car." He demands

"Why?"

*Just stop. I need a moment."

I pull off to the side of the road. "What now? We need to get to Silas."

"It's rare for me to say this, but I think you might be right." He tells me

I snort, "About what?"

*Neah hasn't reached her full potential." He slaps the dash, smiling. "Even after all this time, there is still a part of her that hasn't been unlocked."
