Chapter 105 DANE I looked at crowd of wolves gathered outside my pack house.
Fall Line is gone.
Their Alpha has taken Luna heir DeVere when I promised her protection.
What if she chose to go with them ? someone called.
Trajan stood behindand to one side.
He growled low in his throat.
My Luna heir did not go with Coleridge of her own free will.
She wouldnt have left with things in their current state.
I admired Trajans strength as he stood here and didnt give anything away.
After Id returned and met with him about Aurora going missing, he confided inthat Evander had stopped responding to him the night before.
Everything was falling apart.
It was tto dig my claws in and pull it all back together.
The children were still my main concern.
I had people looking for them.
But Aurora had disappeared with Fall Line .
That meant with her, at least, I knew where to begin.
Except when I called the Fall Line pack house, his parents Chapter 105 seemed just as confused as I was.
2/5 Apparently, Holden had taken the dozen warriors he had with him here ... and disappeared. Whatever hes done, hes done it without the support or knowledge of the pack elders, said his father, the former Alpha James Coleridge, over video call.
The old man had jowls like a bulldog but still had a full head of steel gray hair.
The Alpha makes all final decisions for the pack, but this ... He bared his teeth.
I thought I raised the boy better.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis isnt the first thes tried to take her against her will .
It had been a handful of hours since she disappeared.
Rage surged throughas I thought what he could have done to her in that amount of time.
Elder Coleridge, I said, barely hanging on to my calm by a thread, Can you use your pack bond to talk sense into him? James didnt answer for a long moment, then said heavily, Hes blocking us.
Excuse me? He cleared his throat.
Hes blocking us.
Im running the pack in addition to my Council duties.
The muscles in my jaw tensed.
Then as acting Alpha, I need your consent to allow my wolves onto Fall Line land to search.
Chapter 105 His overgrown white brows drew together.
No! Thats unthinkable.
No pack has ever allowed another free reign in their territory like that.
3/5 I new I shouldnt threaten a Council member, but I no longer gave a shit.
Then this twill be the first.
Because Im coming with my wolves, Elder.
You decide whether its going to mean war or not.
There was another long moment of hesitation, then Elder Coleridge nodded and growled, Ill allow it, as long as your wolves are discreet.
My wolves will be whatever they need to be to ensure my to ensure Aurora is safe .
By any other standards, Holden was a wolf whod gone rogue.
But because he was an Alpha, hed never be punished for it.
Not unless he did something so terrible the Council stepped in .
But short of stopping all out pack wars, the Council tended not to get involved.
If Augusta DeVere pushed, maybe theyd do it .
But when I called her, the only person she blamed was me.
You knew my granddaughter was in this kind of danger and still allowed this to happen? Again, I had to control my rage.
My wolf was snarling for these peoples blood.
Useless, every single one of them.
Chapter 105 4/5 With respect, Luna, I growled, respect the furthest thing from my mind, You are the one who insisted the Fall Line Alpha stay.
The old woman pulled back like I had thrown a glass of wine in her face.
Maybe I put more confidence in your abilities to keep her safe than I should have.
Take care of it, or you can be certain the blfor what comes next will fall on you.
Of course, she fucking would.
Senile old bat, I was still pissed off when I took two dozen wolves, including Trajan, and went to Fall Line territory.
We started the search.
Fall Line wolves watched us from a distance.
None of them moved to stop us.
None of them moved to help, either.
I broke the wolves into pairs.
Trajan insisted on running alone.
Evelyn had insisted on coming and since Archer was still gone and she had powers none of the rest of us had, I let her.
On the condition that she stayed with me.
The sun went down.
The moon rose.
Wed had our noses to the ground for at least two hours when I paused.

We were just at the top of a pine covered ridge, and the place looked shockingly familiar. What is it? she asked.
This place, I said, were at least fifty miles from where we were Chapter 105.5/5 kidnapped as children, but E for a minute, it looked similar.
Dont you remember? The way the stream comes down over the there, and that small cliff.299ks was strange, seeing a place like this while traveling alone with Evelyn. Guilt washed overall over again.
Guilt Id carried since I was a child.
Im sorry I couldnt get you out of that place.
Evelyn hesitated.
Oh.
Its ... fine.
I got out.
I ran away on my own, remember? I nodded my wolf head, and silence fell between us.
Then she said, Danc about that.
The kidnapping thing.
...
Ive been thinking lately that I need to tell you ....
A twig snapped.
I shushed her.
A second later, I scented wolves.
Not Fall Line wolves.
Rogues.
I moved in front of Evelyn, but they stepped out of the forest on all sides of us.
We were surrounded.
Wed been betrayed.
