"There are, but we are not close yet."
"If this were always her planned escape route, she would have killed herself and whoever she took," Neah murmurs
I didn't answer her because that thought had already crossed my mind.
It's not long before singing fills our ears-bad singing, like a cat being swung around in a sack. Neah drops my hand to cover her ears, wincing at the sound as we head toward the noise.
"Will you be quiet!" Eric yells at Tallen, but it just makes Tallen burst into a chorus of another song.
"Tallen!" Eric roars at her. The forest is quiet for a moment before Tallen starts singing the nursery rhyme "The Wheels on the Bus.' What was wrong with her? She hated nursery rhymes.
"Tallen, what the fuck!" Eric yells. "Stop it. Stop, you are hurting yourself!"
I drop Neah's hand and run to Eric. A chain is looped around Tallen's waist, tying her to the trunk of a tree, but her hands are free, and she is digging her nails into her face, splitting the flesh apart and laughing like a maniac at the blood.
"Tallen, stop!" I ordered, but she continued as though the order didn't affect her.
"I failed. I failed. I failed." She grins at me as she shreds her cheeks. "I failed. I failed. I failed. Now I die. Now I die. Now I die."
"Why were you going to take my pup?" I demand.
Tallen smiles and leans forward on the chain, giggling as she foams at the mouth, "A secret surprise."
She suddenly pops her head up, and all the laughter and songs are long gone. Instead of bright, caring eyes, I see lilac ones full of hatred, just like Klaus described when he told me about Thalia.
"Thalia?" I growl through gritted teeth, praying that Neah would stay back.
Her lilac eyes lock with mine. "This is very much Tallen's body, but it was so easy to get into her mind, Alpha Dane."
"Tallen is a Wolf!" I growl. "Not a fucking Witch!"
"Yes, she is a Wolf, isn't she? But she is a weak one. Though it would seem our bloodlines are connected." She smiles at me, "Poor little thing. I bet the last thing she expected was me to slip into her mind and become my little puppet."
"I will kill you."
"You would be killing Tallen, Alpha Dane, not me, for I am far away, where you cannot reach me. Tell me, how is Silas? I do miss him."
"He knows the truth."
"And yet he is uncertain." She smiles smugly as white foam appears at the comers of her mouth.
"You are fucked up!"
"Now, now, Alpha Dane, that isn't very nice."
"You Witches are all the fucking same," I growl.
'Madame Curie was alright,' Aero mutters.
"Are we, Alpha Dane? Or are we just fed up of living the same shit lives over and over where Lycans and Wolves get to have control?"
"You are doing this to get control? Really? You think people will want to follow this?" I gesture to her as Eric snorts.
"They just need to understand." She glares at me.
"And you are going to force them into understanding? I know what you have done in White Cliffs, Witch."
"Quite clever, don't you think? Your little crew almost ruined my plans, but alas, their bodies were lost to the ocean. Three Hunters in one strategically planned move, rather brilliant, don't you think?" The white foam dribbles down her chin as she speaks.
She didn't know that they were alive.
I hear the quiet steps of my mate as she steps forward.
"Ah, little princess, it has been a long time since I have seen you," Thalia muses as her eyes find my mate.
I half expected Neah to attack her, to drive her claws into the Witch's cold, evil heart, but Neah stayed silent, her eyes flickering between blue and black as she assessed the situation.
'Kill her? Eric links me.
'Not yet; she clearly has something to say,' I reply.
"Why?" Neah asks as she glares at Thalia.
"You will have to be more specific, little princess."
Neah's hands open and close. She is struggling to keep Nyx contained

"The blood of an Alpha is strong."
"I am the last female Alpha!" Neah's eyes narrow.
"The last female Lycan Alpha, but those girls are not Lycan's."
