Chapter 76 AURORA Connall ! I cried desperately , trying to pull my hand away .


    What are you doing ? Celia cried .


    She ran over and tried to pull me away , but the magic held on to me like it had wrapped me in iron chains .


    Get Dane , I gasped .


    She ran from the room as I continued to fight .


    Since I couldnt move , I tried to stop the flow of magic .


    But I couldnt , despite the feeling of power that rolled through me the more I took from the old Alpha of Blue Ridge .


    Finally , the door flew open .


    But it wasnt Dane who rushed in ; it was Evelyn .


    Her blue eyes flew wide .


    You murdering bitch ! What are you doing to him ?! Before I could say anything , she lifted her hand .


    Her palm zed with silvery light .


    Wait ! She didnt wait .


    The ball of light shot from her palm and mmed into me .


    Pain seared through me .


    The newfound Chapter 76 2/5 strength left .


    I went flying away from Connall and hit an empty bed on the other side of the room .


    My shoulder crashed against it and the metal frame bit deep .


    I screamed .


    It felt like my arm was broken .


    Evelyn ran over and cheeked on Connall in the bed .


    Then she turned toward me and raised both her hands with palms glowing .


    You failed , you murderer ! Hes still alive .


    But you wont be .


    Not for much longer .


    I told Dane not to trust you ! On the floor , I curled around my arm and ducked my head .


    I didnt mean for it to happen .


    Save your lies for Dane .


    The light grew brighter .


    Then the door mmed open .


    I looked for Dane … But it was Holden .


    Goddess , where was Celia ? Was every wolf in the world going to make it into this room before Dane did ? The sound of the door distracted Evelyn , and she turned to see who it was .


    When she realized it was Holden , she sneered and turned back toward me .


    But her distraction had given me time .


    to get to my feet and get out of the way .


    Come back here ! she snarled ..


    Chapter 76 Evelyn , STOP ! 3/5 Holdensmand rippled with more Alpha power than Id felt in a long time .


    He wasnt Evelyns Alpha , so she didnt have to obey him .


    But hed used enough magic to dy her for the space of several heartbeats while she fought against the power of his will .


    Evelyn balled her hands into fists and dropped them to her side .


    Why does everyone defend this bitch ? she shrieked .


    I came in here and she was clearly trying to murder Connall Montague ! Im the chosen of the goddess , and I say she will be punished ! Thats not for you to decide , said a new , deep voice .


    Finally , Dane hade .


    I let out a sob of relief , but just as soon , I covered my mouth .


    Hed chosen my side a few times recently , but a few times in thest few days was nothingpared to three solid years of marriage in which he always chose Evelyn over me .


    Whats going on , here ? Dane asked .


    He came toward us .


    His beta was at his side , a stern look on his face as his eyes jumped from me to Evelyn and back again .


    Evelyn scrambled to be the first to speak .


    I found her trying to kill your grandfather ! You have to get rid of her now , Dane .


    Send her back to where she belongs ! Danes eyes went to mine .


    Exin .


    Chapter 76 4/5 1 took a shaking breath .


    I didnt know if there was any way hed believe the truth , but I couldnt think of any better way to handle this .


    … had a dream , I said .


    I realized how stupid the words sounded as they came out of my mouth and a mped my lips shut .


    A dream ? Evelyns voice was incredulous , as was her high pitched shrick of augh .


    What a load of shit .


    Quiet , Dane barked .


    Evelyn pressed a hand over her mouth .


    Dane … He didnt look at her .


    His eyes never left mine .


    What dream ? Slowly , I exined to him the part about hearing a voice , then about seeing Piper and Connall .


    I told him how , in the dream , my touch had healed them , and how I wanted to see if something like that would work in real life .


    But it didnt , I said .


    Id avoided tears the whole time , but they clogged my voice as I came to the end of my story .


    I out a hand over my chest where my cursed scar was .


    When I touched him , it was like we were connected .


    I saw a sh of his thoughts .


    Then the magic connected us .


    It started to pull … life from him .


    Dane looked sharply to Celia .


    The healer was bent over Connalls side and had bee this whole time , examining him .


    Hes weaker than he was , Alpha , but he seems stable .


    Chapter 76 Dane swore under his breath .


    5/5 You have to exile her from this ce , Dane , Evelyn said .


    Event if she did it on ident , shes a danger to have around .


    Theres something dark about her .


    Shes going to be the downfall of us all .


    Danes gaze was so intense on mine , it was like I could feel his eyes searching my soul .


    Voice heavy , he said , Evelyn is probably right .
