Chapter 89 AURORA Five minutes after we arrived , the whole pack was organized to search .
They transformed and ran into the woods .
With no wolf , there was nothing I could do to help .
Nothing except stand on the porch of the mansion and pace and watch .
Dane was out searching , as were Trajan and Evander .
The Blue Ridge wolves were organized , working on Danesmands over the pack bond .
There was nothing I could do .
No way I could help .
I wasnt going to be able to stand this very long before I took off into the woods , myself .
The door to the house opened and closed .
Evelyn stood there in a flowing white shirt and soft brown pzzo pants .
The loose fit somehow worked to emphasize her rounded belly and make her glow with health .
I bared my teeth as a sudden thought urred to me .
This better not have anything to do with you .
She looked to the side , obviously startled to see me .
Aurora ! I only just heard .
N no .
I didnt … this isnt … Flustered , she closed her mouth and shook her head .
I would never wish harm on # Chapter 89 your children .
I need you to know that .
I dont believe you .
I moved toward her .
You know that I suspect your child isnt Danes .
Of course , youre trying to get mine out of the way .
2/6 As I spoke , everything felt like it made more and more sense .
But even if Evelyn was to me , what could I do besides wait for Dane and tell him my suspicions ? I could try to attack her , but unlike me , she had a wolf .
Id never be able to hurt her or even hold her for the other wolves to take to the pack dungeons when they came back .
If Dane would even send her there in the first ce .
Evelyn sneered , her hand spreading protectively over her belly .
I might be a homewrecker , and I might go after you without question , she snapped , But I dont hurt children .
Especially not Danes .
I clenched my fists .
My entire body was shaking .
She hadnt.
addressed my usation about her child , but that hardly mattered .
Thats it , I muttered .
I cant .
I wont just sit here , especially not with you ! I turned and strode off the porch toward the forest .
Where the hell are you going ? Evelyn shouted .
Youll only be in the way out there ! The entire pack is on high alert .
Chapter 89 Stop me , I spat over my shoulder .
I didnt stop walking .
3/6 Hey ! Evelyn called again .
To my shock , she started following me .
Aurora , get back in the house .
You are wolfless .
You dont know who what might be out there .
There have been too many shadow attacks , and youre too weak .
I dont care that Im weak ! I spun on her .
I dont care if Im wolfless , or how much danger Im in , I am going out there to help look for my children , because I cant stand to sit here worrying and doing nothing , especially if it means I have to be around you ! I hit the tree line and kept going .
I , at least , was wearing sensible enough clothes to be walking around the forest .
Evelyn looked .
like she was getting ready to film on a movie set in the middle of a city .
But she didnt stop .
Even though she was walking into the woods .
pregnant and in kitten heels , she barreled forward like she was wearing tennis shoes .
Why are you following me ? I asked , exasperated .
Evelyn , we have known each other for eight years and hated each other the entire time .
Do what you normally do and pretend I dont exist ! No ! Shed caught up to me now .
She grabbed my arm and pulled me around to face her .
I cant .
Why ? I demanded .
Because the twins need you ! She looked surprised , even as she Chapter 89 4/6 shouted the words .
In a calmer voice , she said , I may hate you , Aurora .
But Im notpletely evil .
I didnt have a kind mother .
I didnt have … a mother like you .
And the twins , wherever they are , dont deserve to lose you .
I stared at her inplete and utter shock .
I was so shocked I didnt hear the movement through the forest .
Evelyn did , going stiff and grabbing my arm again .
Get behind me , shemanded .
No ! Get .
Behind .
Me .
Her eyes scanned the trees .
For the first time in all the years Id known her , she looked afraid .
Cant you smell it ? A Broken Forest wolf is near .
Just as she said it , I heard the popping of branches and the rustling of leaves .
A lycan stepped out of the trees .
One I hadnt seen since before my house had copsed .
Remington , I muttered .
Remington Reed , my foster brother , strode toward me .
Except he wasnt striding .
He was bleeding .
His ear was torn and there was blood all over his rusty , mottled fur .
In the distance , I heard a hunting howl I knew .
Dane .
Chapter 89 He was on his way here .
5/6 Aurora ! Remington cried .
He tried to reach for me , but Evelyn blocked him .
He copsed onto his knees .
Please , you have to listen .
Have mercy ! What are you doing here ? I was so confused .
He seemed like hed crawled through hell to get here .
Its your children , he said .
The children of that bastard Dane Montague … As if summoned , Dane appeared out of the forest .
A vengeful monster of charcoal gray who leaped on Remington .
He grabbed him by the throat and mmed him against a tree .
Coming to mynd means death ! he snarled .
Dane , wait ! He knows about the children ! At my cry , Dane bared his teeth .
He mmed Remington against the tree again .
Speak .
Where are my children ? Whimpering , my former foster brother looked from Dane to me .
Mom and dad have them .
They wanted Danes blood , but hes too strong for them to take .
What does my blood have to do with it ? Dane growled .
Remington coughed and choked with Danes hand around his neck , but said , Dane Montagues lifeblood will open the gates Chapter 89 6/6 and sate the beast .
If he doesnt give his life in exchange for the children … they will die instead .
