Chapter 0045

“Okay, okay.” Devon mutters, holding his hands up and sitting in the empty seat.

“Here's the deal. You tell us everything you know about Trey and his little gang. You tell me and Neah everything about being a Lycan and if you comply, I might just let you live.”

Alpha Dane.” Devon continues, “We can shift at will, females go into heat exactly the same as Wolves, though I believe our females tend to stay in heat a lot longer than yours. I can’t be certain about that one, females are not my preferred choice. We hunt. We feed. We mate, we mark our claimed ones. We are strong, we can heal. The only real difference is that
