NovelEnglishChapter 50 DANE I felt the floor crumble.
Acting on pure instinct, I grabbed Aurora, pulling her intoand rolling so that she was on top ofas we fell Dane ! she screamed.
I knew I had no time, but I transformed.
The lycan body could take more abuse than this one.
The dark surrounded us.
I was half transformed by the twe hit the ground.
My back and ribs exploded in pain, but I kept my arms wrapped around her, kept her head tucked protectively against my chest.
I couldnt breathe.
The wind had been knocked out of me.
She fought forto let go, and I finally did .
Goddess! Dane ! She knelt beside me.
Shed managed to keep her phone in her hand, and its light swept overas she searched for injuries .
I could tell Id cracked a few ribs, and I didnt even want to think about my spine.
But I could still feel all my limbs so that was a good sign.
I finished the shift all the way into a wolf.
Then slowly, achingly, I turned back into man.
The shift popped the seams of my clothes, but they were intact enough to wear.
Aurora sat back as I shifted.
When I was fully human again, she leaned forward and touched my head, my face, my chest.
Are you all right? Is anything broken? Did the shift- ? It healedwell enough, I said.
My voice was gruff.
My body still ached, especially my head, but it was nothing I couldnt handle.

Trajan ! Archer ! I reached out for my beta with my mind.
He was sore but answered.
We fell pretty far.
I think were in skind of sub basement.
Its strange.
Theyre alive, I told her.
To Archer, I said, Find a way back up and meet us .
Yes, Alpha.
I rose, wincing at a few aches and strained muscles hadnt been able to heal .
Aurora was still shining the light around a bit wildly.
It was strange to see her like this when shed been so calm, so collected since returning.
If I listened with my wolfs ears, I could hear her heart beating.
The way her breath fluttered in and out of her chest.
Chapter 50 3/5 Chere, I said.
I grabbed the hand that held her phone.
In this state, youre likely to fling this against a wall and shatter it.
Then you wouldnt have any light at all.
1- I ignored her protests, gently took the phone from her hand, and shined it along her face and body.
Are you injured? No, she said.
Then she hesitated and added, Thank you for that.
If I hadnt done it, Trajan would have, I said.
Seeing not injuries, I handed back her phone.
Maybe he would have, she said.
But you were faster.
I grunted.
I didnt want either of us reading into my actions more than strictly necessary.
Alpha powers.
Thats all.
Con.
We need to try and find our way back upstairs.
Do you recognize where we are? She glanced around, her pale brows drawing together.
Its hard to say.
Theres a lot of debris from the fall.
She flashed the phone around smore, then lifted it to look at the place wed fallen through.
Muttering to herself, she said, I think its this way.
Then she ledinto the dark.
Chapter 50 The room wed fallen into was large and open.
From the few boxes we saw around, it seemed to have been used mostly for storage.
It took a few minutes, but we found the door.
It was stuck.
I kicked it open.
4/5 It burst into splinters, and we moved through into another part of the basement.
Eventually, we found a set of stone stairs.
But they didnt lead all the way up.
Only halfway.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIs there another set of stairs? I asked.
Yes, she said.
She had a determined look on her face.
But these are the ones we want.
We followed them up to a single door that opened into a bare stone room with no windows. Why did we cup here? I asked.
Theres only one room.
Were looking for your childhood bedroom.
Not sdismal storage area.
She looked up atwith a raised brow.
Dane... this was my room.
Shock rockedto my core.
Because this wasnt a room.
It was a prison cell.
How could she have grown up here ? How could anyone who had any kind of heart kept a child in this place? This darkness? Chapter 50 Is this a joke? I asked. She frowned and shook her head.
No, Dane.
I told you.
The Reeds abused me.
Used me.
5/5 She glanced around the stone room, then took a few steps inside.
She turned back toand lifted her arms.
The ceiling was so low she could touch it.
In one corner of the room there was a sad little cot and a rickety wadden table next to it. Do you believenow? she asked.
