Silas

The first set of thuds on my door force me to turn the shower off. The second set suggested that they belonged to someone who means business.

"Who the hell is that?' Lyall growls

Pulling on a pair of shorts, I silently tread down the stairs, leaving puddles of water on the floor. There were two scents lingering on the other side of my back door. One that I remember from earlier. The other one, I wasn't so sure of.

Flinging the door open, I take a step back, barely avoiding the punch that came my way.

"What the fuck?" I growl as Damien squares up to me.

"Where is he?" He demands

"He's not here." Dane had called me to tell me that Serkan was already here and what had happened. It made no sense. Serkan never leaves White Cliffs. He didn't even leave to chase down his own daughter, he had sent someone else to do that.

"He's not here." The other guy confirms. He was at the beach the other night. He had turned up with Damien, quizzing me on the exact same questions that the others had asked. Neah and my twin seemed to accept that his words were true like he was some kind of prophet.

"And I don't really care about him right now." I add. "I have more important things to sort out.

*Your mate?" The guy with hazel eyes asks

"She won't leave. She thinks it's some kind of trap. She kept asking me if I was being held against my will. If someone was forcing me into saying she wasn't safe. She has my son and she won't leave White Cliffs. But if I go there, we will all be killed and if I don't go there, they will probably be killed. You don't get it."

"Yes I do." The hazel eyed man tells me. "My first mate was taken from me, killed by another. She was pregnant with my unborn pup. Do you know where that woman lives now?"

I shake my head

*Black Shadow."

"What?" Why would Neah let someone like that live there? She was clearly friends with this guy.

"Do I like it? No. Do I want to rip her limbs from her torso everytime I see her? Yes. But what is even more bothersome is that my mate has struck up a friendship with her."

I see the way Damien cocks an eyebrow at him. Maybe some of it was news to him.

*And him," He points at Damien, "He lost his mate, your sibling. So if anyone knows what you are going through, it's us. But right now, she is still alive, be fucking grateful for that. Because we all have our own problems.*

*How dare you! Of course I'm grateful for her to be alive."

*Brax, search the house, just in case there is something else." Damien interrupts us

*Certainly. Don't lose the carbon copy." He mutters as he moves away.

'Can we punch him?' Lyall asks as Brax passes us.

I don't think that would be wise.'

*Ignore Brax, he likes to be dramatic." Damien tells me. "He is right though, every moment that she is alive, is a good sign."

"I fear for her."

"I can see that."

*Can you tell him to stop calling me stupid names that reference me being a twin? We may lookalike, but we are not the same."

*Unfortunately, I have no control over that. He will call you different names until he settles on one he likes" "He calls you by your name." I mutter

*For a long time, he didn't." Damien glances around my home and pulls a chair out from the table. He stares at me as he lowers himself into it. "Why wouldn't she believe you?"

*Because up until a few days ago, I had never questioned the actions of my Alpha and now, after a couple of weeks away and meeting you lot, I am. She told me that I don't sound like myself. But she did confirm something."

*Serkan left not long after you?"

I nod. "I don't understand why she didn't tell me straight away. She could have contacted me any time to tell me and she didn't." I listen to the footsteps above me. Brax is moving from room to room. "It doesn't make any sense?" I had never felt so useless in my entire life.
