Chapter 122 DANE Her eyes were huge.
She took my hands, then took a breath.
Auroras twins.
Theyre yours.
I couldnt help the sardonic smile that curved one corner of my mouth.
I know.
Ive known.
Theres been so much ... I let out a sigh, then sent someone to the kitchen to bring my sister food while I told her sof what had happened while she was unconscious.
When I told her about the twins, she growled.
That was my sister.
Growling instead of gasping .
Our family tended to reach for anger any tit meant we didnt have to feel fear.
How could this have happened? They were taken right out of our territory, she said.
Where were the guards they had at the other house? Where was Evander ? I shook my head.
The guards were reassigned once they were here.
Evander ? she insisted again.
Chapter 122 He was the only guard they had.
The nanny took them for at walk before he woke one morning.
2/5 Then how did that happen to him? she asked, peeking around me.
I scowled and pushed her back onto her pillow.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince they left, hes been searching for him.
He was on Broken Forest land.
The Reeds or someone who works for them must have done it.
She sat up.
But you dont know? Why havent you found out? Because he just arrived, and Ive spent the entire ttalking to you.
Piper made an impatient noise.
Aurora wants to talk to you about him.
Things with her are ... complicated.
Id told her the bare bones.
of my growing relationship with Aurora, but I hadnt gotten to the picture of her and Holden that Evelyn had sentyet.
That damn picture had been haunting my thoughts for days.
I needed to confront Aurora instead of brooding on it.
But brooding was so much fucking easier than finally letting her in, only to find out shed been playingthe entire time.
Yes, there was a chance she wasnt.
That there was a perfectly innocent explanation for the picture.
Or there was a chance she was about to prove I was a fucking Chapter 122 fool for ever deciding to trust her in the first place.
3/5 Besides, she had put more distance between us since Id brought her back from the place Holden had taken her.
I could feel it ..
If he hurt her, I understood why.
But she wasnt talking toabout it.
Id trusted her with everything.
All my secrets.
She wasnt trustingwith hers.
I shook myself.
Piper was leaning again.
Trying to peer aroundat Evander.
The twins.
I feel like ... her eyes were distant.
Then she shook her head and massaged her temples with her fingers.
No.
Thats insane.
Whats insane? I asked.
Instead of answering, she said, How did I wake up? Now it was my turn to glance over my shoulder. Aurora was still there with her cousin, cleaning him up.
Celia helped.
Theyd cut away his shredded clothing, revealing his bare chest.
His body was covered in scars.
Crisscrossed with them like stripes.
I grimaced at the sight.
Evander was young close to the sage as Piper.
Someone had done a number on him, and theyd done it with silver.
Even his face wasnt untouched parallel lines slashed across his left eye down his check and over his lips.
From the thoughts of a large portion of my pack members, Evander had been very, very Chapter 122 pretty. He wasnt pretty, now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo matter how many times he 4/5 transformed, those silver scars would never entirely go away.
Even Aurora hadnt ctothat badly poisoned.
It would be a miracle if he still had his wolf.
I dont know, I finally said to Piper.
My unsettled feeling over her and Evander only grew the longer she was awake and the more she looked at him.
I slid my hands underneath her and she squeaked.
What are you doing? Taking you to your room.
Youll heal better there.
Dane! I ignored her.
Id been Alpha almost a decade.
If that had taughtanything, it was that I had to trust my gut.
If Evander DeVere woke, he would be required to stay away from my little sister, or I would send him right back to the place he cfrom.
After Id deposited my sister in her room, directed her food there, and O made sure half a dozen wolves were waiting on her hand and foot, I finally stepped into the hall and leaned against a wall. Awake.
Piper was awake because of what Aurora had done.
How had the swoman who killed my grandfather brought my comatose sister back to life?m Chapter 122 The scent of Evelyns perfhitbefore I heard her footsteps. I didnt look up, even when she leaned next to me.
I heard about Piper.
Im glad shes awake, Evelyn said.
So am I.
Evelyn sighed.
Dane... about everything thats happened lately... There was something in her tone.
Something wary, almost afraid.
I finally glanced up and saw something Id never seen before.
