"We have checked out the entire pack grounds. I think we have found all there is to find." I tell Dane as we walk back to the car." Whatever stuff there once was, it seems like Trey or Cassandra got rid of it. I'm assuming so Neah could never find out who she is." "I was hoping for more. But at the same time, I know you are right." He frowns as he stares at Klaus, leaning over the car bonnet. “ What's he looking at?"

"A map that he found. He's trying to figure out if there are any buildings anywhere that the pricks here used."

Dane's crimson eyes shift to Neah who is curled up in the passenger seat, asleep. Vomiting and the realisation that she is pregnant again seems to have wiped her out.

"I'm curious, if you knew she was pregnant, why didn't you say anything to her?" I ask

"She wasn't ready to hear it. It was not long ago that she made it clear that she wasn't ready. Though she has taken it alot better than I expected." He smiles.

"You would have a whole army if she let you."

"There's nothing wrong with that. You will find out one day."

I don't answer. My first mate had been unexpected. The chances of finding another seemed unlikely.

"Anything?" Dane asks Klaus

"No." Klaus frowns and folds the map up. "This seems to have been a wasted trip." He mutters

"Not entirely." Dane replies, "We know who Samara is. And Neah has learned something about herself."
