Chapter 94 DANE We arrived back at the pack house , and I took Aurora to her room andid her in her bed .


    Immediately , she struggled to sit up .


    Dane .


    Theres something in your eyes … Where are you going ? To question Coleridge .


    No ! I knew he was her ally , but he had also attacked her .


    Before she could react , I strode to the door and closed it .


    Then I jammed the knob and broke it .


    Dane ! she shouted .


    Let me out of here ! Trajan stood outside .


    I bared my teeth at him .


    She doesnt leave .


    this room .


    Trajans face didnt betray any emotion .


    You arent my Alpha , and she is my Luna heir .


    Shell hate us both for this .


    I wont make decisions for her .


    Im not making any decisions for her .


    Im making them for me .


    Trajan nodded , and his face turned dark .


    Im going to let her Chapter 94 2/5 out .


    But … Ill give you some time because of what he did to her .


    Good .


    I strode from the room as Trajan faced the door , which shook with the force of Auroras blows .


    I nced out a window at the night as I passed .


    It had been twelve hours since Tristan and Seraphina had disappeared .


    I wondered if it would surprise Aurora to know she wasnt the only one who felt each second drag past .


    I was counting every one .


    The pack house had several floors , with my rooms and those of my family being at the top .


    To get to Holdens , I had to go down two flights and down multiple hallways .


    It gave me too much time to think .


    To rage .


    Sometimes ruling over as much as I did was a curse .


    Holden had approximately twenty wolves from Fall Line with him .


    Not enough to threaten my pack , but enough to help him fight his way out if things turned bad .


    Though he hadnt posted guards outside of his room before , I couldnt help but notice the four massive wolves standing on either side of the door , now .


    I would cut everyst one of them down if I had to .


    I will speak with your Alpha , I growled as I approached .


    The wolves regarded me silently , but I could wait .


    I must always maintain control .


    The same couldnt be said of Holden .


    They must have used their pack bond to tell him it was me , because a secondter the door flew open , and Holdens hands were at my throat .


    He grabbed my shirt by the cor and shook hard .


    What the fuck are you thinking , imprisoning me in my own room ? I should be out there ! I might not be her real fiancé or those kids father , but Ive known them longer than you and I love them too , damn it ! My hands grew into ws and my teeth into fangs .


    Before I understood what he was saying , I ripped his hands from my shirt and sent him flying back .


    He hit the wall , denting it , and sending ster flying .


    He leaped up , his blue eyes gleaming as his own ws and teeth grew .


    But by then , his words had made their way into my brain .


    I stood and stared .


    What do you mean , keeping you prisoner ? I had every wolf out searching , and youre in here sitting on your ass ! No.


    Your beta told my wolves I couldnt leave this room , or you Chapter 94 personally would tear me limb from limb .


    4/5 Fuck .


    I turned as if I could see Archer beyond the walls of the mansion and into the woods , where he should still be hunting Remington .


    Beta .


    I snapped in my mind , Did you give the order to put Holden Coleridge under house arrest ? Archers mental voice came back over a distance of miles .


    Enough that even I couldnt tell exactly how far away he was .


    Yes , Alpha .


    It seemed best not to let him wander away , the way Reed did .


    That stopped my response in its tracks .


    Id been prepared to snarl at Archer , but he was right .


    I hadnt been vignt , and because of that , Reed was gone .


    Next time , dont give an order about another Alpha without clearing it with me first , I said .


    I loaded thatmand with power , so hed have no choice but to obey .


    Yes , Alpha .


    He sounded obedient enough , but … was he ? Or did I sense resentment in my perfect , loyal betas tone ? I broke the connection and turned back to Coleridge .


    I didnt give that order .


    Coleridge stood and straightened his suit , eyes shing .


    Then maybe you should control your beta better .


    I growled deep in my throat , but Holden just growled back .


    Chapter 94 5/5 You deserve to die for what you did to Aurora .


    I might not have given the order , but imprisoning you is exactly what I should have done the moment I came back with her .


    Holden sauntered up to me .


    Not unless you want war .


    Dont forget Coleridge , you may be richer , and you may have grown a littlerger than Fall Line , but we are of the old blood .


    You ? Youre just some upstart backwoods Broken Forest offshoot with new money .


    Blood money .


    Blood money ? I snarled .


    Despite my restraint , I might have shed him then .


    In fact , I probably would have , just for suggesting my grandfather somehow built this pack on blood money .


    But Aurora chose that moment toe sprinting up to us with her phone .


    She held its screen up .


    On it was an old woman with short white hair and a brisk ,manding voice .


    Stand down , Alpha Montague , or I will bring your entire pack to its knees .


    I red at my ex wife .


    Aurora had called Grandmother Augusta .
