Chapter 59 1/5 DANE In the end , I couldnt refuse the Luna of the High Alpine Pack .


    Holden and the Fall Line Pack were summoned .


    I went back into the room with the children .


    My daughter was waiting for me , watching me .


    Then , without warning , she stepped forward and hugged my leg .


    Youre sad , she said .


    I was speechless .


    I lifted her up , then settled us both by the puzzle table , where her brother still sat .


    He watched me suspiciously .


    Trajan followed me into the room .


    I red at him .


    He leaned against the wall next to the door and folded his arms across his chest .


    I ignored him and turned to the children .


    I have something to tell you .


    Something … Goddess , their eyes were so huge .


    How did people do this ? I took a breath .


    You two have been through a lot of scary thingstely .


    But Ive noticed youre very brave .


    Chapter 59 2/5 Tristan nodded firmly , his dark eyes never leaving my face .


    We arc .


    Seraphina said nothing , just clung to me .


    Her grip was so fierce , I wondered if she could sense what wasing .


    I have to tell you something .


    Its going to be another scary thing .


    Something we all need to be brave about , together .


    Last night , your Uncle Trajan and me and my beta , Archer went to a ce your Mommy used to live .


    She went with us .


    I took a breath .


    While we were there , we were attacked by some shadows .


    They tried to get me , but your Mommy … My throat felt thick , and I had to clear it .


    She saved my life .


    Tristan snorted .


    Of course , she did .


    Mommy is the bravest one of all .


    Yes , I said .


    And I need you to know , shes okay .


    But when she saved me , she got hurt .


    Their eyes went huge with rm .


    Tristan jumped to his feet so fast , puzzle pieces went flying everywhere .


    Where is she ? We need to go help her right now ! I put a hand on his shoulder , but he shrugged it off .


    Why are you still sitting there ? Come on ! Tristan , I said , Your mother is with my pack healers .


    Like I said , shes okay … but shes sleeping , and were having a hard time helping her wake up .


    Chapter 59 3/5 Ill help her ! Tristan said .


    I know exactly what to do ! Mommy always wakes up when me or Sera go into her room no matter what happens ! He was shouting .


    Sera trembled in my arms , thenid her so soft head against my shoulder .


    When I looked down at her , she had tears in her lc eyes .


    Id never seen a child so small cry so quietly .


    Alpha Dane , is Mommy going to be okay ? Alpha Dane .


    I wondered if that was how they thought of me , even though they knew I was their father .


    I hope so , I said .


    Were trying .


    I know where the healers are ! Tristan said .


    He charged toward the door .


    Trajan caught him and lifted him into the air .


    Let me go ! Tristan demanded , kicking his short legs .


    To my surprise , Trajan looked to me .


    Are you going to let them .


    see her , Alpha ? I hesitated , then nodded .


    If anything in the world would wake Aurora , it would be her children .


    ***** EVELYN I paced outside the infirmary with one hand over my rounding Chapter 59 stomach .


    Any time now , I should feel my baby start to move .


    I rubbed it worriedly .


    Would Dane even care , now that he had two living , healthy children ? 4/5 I gritted my teeth .


    I was a practical woman .


    I couldnt be upset at children for existing .


    But I could be livid at Aurora .


    That bitch .


    She had known Dane didnt want her pups .


    Then shed gone and had them anyway .


    I shouldnt be surprised , after everything Broken Forest had gone through to kill Danes family and get her married to him .


    She was nothing if not conniving and maniptive .


    Part of me wondered if this had been her n all along , but it couldnt be .


    If shed known she was the heir of the High Alpine Pack , she wouldnt have let Dane humiliate her all through the three years of their marriage .


    But if she was so willing to y tricks on Dane … maybe she was doing it to them , too .


    I stopped my pacing short .


    What if Aurora had tricked High Alpine ? It could be that the DeVeres were as much a victim of her wiles as Dane was bing .


    Chapter 59 5/5 I paused and rubbed my hand over my stomach again .


    I didnt know much about the DeVeres , but I wasnt some nobody .


    I had many contacts .


    In fact … I thought Id met a DeVere , several years ago at a filmunch party in London .


    I pulled out my phone and scrolled .


    My list of contacts was long , and it took me a while to even get to people listed under the letter D.


    I smiled when I found it .


    I knew Id been right .


    My thumb hovered over the name .


    DeVere , Lilliana .


    High Alpine Pack .


    I tapped her name and raised my phone to my ear .


    Hello ? came a sultry , female voice .


    Lilliana DeVere ? I said , smiling .


    Its Evelyn Bary .


    I have a few questions for you …
