NovelEnglishChapter 77 AURORA What? My breath froze in my throat.
Dane moved toward me.
I dont want to exile you.
But maybe it would be better if you stayed somewhere else on pack land.
Like my grandfathers house.
You wantaway from the pack house? I asked.
What about my children? Danes jaw worked.
Theyll be safer here.
I rose.
Then the answer is no.
11 Dont you dare defy our Alpha, Evelyn said aggressively.
I whirled on her.
You wont separatefrom my children.
I looked between her and Archer, my anger makingreckless.
Im sure Archer wouldnt want to be separated from you.
Would you, beta ? I thought Id seen Eveyln with wide eyes before.
That was nothing compared to now.
They looked like they might pop out of her head.
I dont know what youre talking about, Archer said without Chapter 77 2/5 missing a beat.
Im her protector.
Of course, I wouldnt want to be separated from her.
Dane frowned at all of us.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIm not sure whats happening here, but I want everyone except Celia out of the infirmary We moved outside while Dane stayed behind to check on hist family.
Once we were in the hall, Evelyn got in my face .
I always knew you were evil.
I wouldnt be surprised if you used skind of spell or something to trick the DeVeres into thinking youre one of them.
Youre the syouve always been, just spathetic Broken Forest bitch .
I leaned down and whispered, At least my children are Danes.
In a flash, she grew claws and pulled her hand back to slash my face, but Holden caught her hand.
He threw her back.
Go, Evelyn.
Or well see how many of your secrets we know between the two of us.
Evelyns eyes flared, but at Holdens command, she backed off.
What secrets of hers do you know? I asked curiously.
Holden gavehis classic charming smile.
None.
But if she thinks I do, thats the sthing, isnt it? But unlike every other the had smiled at me, it didnt quite reach his eyes... And I didnt know if I believed him.
Chapter 77 3/5 Con, Holden said.
The last few days have been intense.
Lets go relax and spend the day with the twins.
I think I should wait to speak to Dane, I said.
Holden shook his head.
Today is the exact reason your grandmother askedto be here.
We both know he could benefit from tto cool down.
I worried my bottom lip between my teeth, but I hadnt slept well the night before, and after the dream, I was so tired.
A quiet day with the twins sounded like exactly what I needed.
I waited for Dane to ctoall day to talk about what happened.
He didnt.
Even though I loved spending the day with my children and Holden was always welccompany, by the tnight came, I was worried.
Holden broughtto his rooms.
They were smaller than mine -just a sitting area and a large bedroom.
But wolves from Fall Line were staying in all the rooms around us, and Trajan insisted on standing outside the door until I sent him back to be with the twins.
At least I knew we were safe from retribution from any Blue Ridge pack members who hated.
You have to stop pacing, Holden said.
Chapter 77 4/5 I didnt realize I was pacing until he said it.
I paused and took a breath.
Since becoming Aurora DeVere, I hated it when my nerves showed.
I could try to hide them now, but Holden would see through them anyway.
Why hasnt he cto me, Holden ? The last thing that he said towas that he wantedto leave.
When is he going to show up and tellwhether hes going to forceto go? He can try.
Holden growled.
He approachedand held out a glass of wine.
I took it.
I didnt usually drink, but I needed something to distract me.
But if he does, I think he knows your grandmother will retaliate.
But what if I should go somewhere else? Like to his grandfathers little house on the mountain.
I would do it, but the twins have to cwith me.
I wont leave them behind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI know, I know, Holden said soothingly.
He gently stoppedand pulledinto a hug.
I let him, taking comfort in my friends strength.
Con, he said.
He ledto the table and refilled my wine.
I wasnt sure when Id drunk it all, but I wasnt surprised, as unsettled as ↑ was. Things have been insane.
Were going to sit here and talk and drink and forget our problems.
If Dane doesnt cspeak to you early tomorrow, well go speak to him.
I gave him a grateful smile.
All right.
Thank you, Holden.
Youre a good friend.
Chapter 77 Darling, Im more than that.
Im your fiancé, remember? I e laughed as he winked then lifted my wine and drank.
***** 5/5 I was woken the next morning by the sun slanting aerbs's my eyes I groaned and turned over.
My mouth tasted sour.
My hand hit something warm.
I opened my eyes.
Thats when I realized, I wasnt in my own room.
I was still in Holdens room.
In his bed.
And we were both naked.
