Chapter 120 AURORA Piper ! Dane roared .


    I tried to cut off the power , but it flowed through me like a river .


    I couldnt stop it .


    Dane moved between Piper and Evander , directly into the stream of magic .


    Dane , no ! I cried .


    He didnt listen .


    The magic sted into him .


    For a moment , the whole room shed a blinding silver white .


    Everything went silent .


    Finally , I yanked back on my power and cut the magic off .


    I blinked rapidly , trying to get my eyes to clear .


    Every cell in my body yearned to see if Dane was all right , but Id started this because of Evander .


    I had to see if he was still alive first .


    My vision cleared .


    Evandery in the bed .


    His eyes were closed .


    My heart lurched and I leaned forward and put my fingers to his neck , searching for a pulse .


    Please , I whispered .


    Be alive .


    Chapter 120 I couldnt bring myself to turn and look over my shoulder .


    I could hear other wolves scrambling , but I didnt hear Dane .


    2/5 What if I really was evil ? What if Id just killed Evander , Piper , and Dane all in one go ? Then Evanders chest rose and fell in a deep , shuddering breath and I felt his pulse jump beneath my fingers .


    He was still a mess , still covered in blood , and his eyes didnt open .


    But he was alive .


    1 let out a slow , relieved breath .


    Then I turned to see what was going on behind me .


    To see if Dane and Piper were alive or dead .


    I turned … Dane was up , thank the goddess .


    He was bent over Pipers bed .


    And Piper … Sat up .


    Dane helped her , supporting her with a hand behind her back .


    But she was up .


    Awake .


    She blinked and put a hand to her head .


    Dane ? she said .


    How long have I been asleep ? Her voice was rough with disuse , but there was no mistaking it .


    She was really back .


    Really awake .


    I hadnt killed her .


    Chapter 120 I put a hand on the bed and nearly copsed with relief .


    3/5 Its been a while , Dane said .


    His voice was rough , too , but with restrained emotion .


    He held onto his sister tightly and smoothed hair away from her face .


    He sent me one long , lingering nce .


    As well as I knew him , I couldnt read it .


    I couldnt tell if he was upsel or angry or relieved .


    He turned back to his sister , stroked her hair again and said .


    I have so much to tell you .


    Thank the goddess youre awake .


    Piper gripped Danes wrist and leaned forward to press her forehead against his .


    Id never leave you , big brother .


    You get .


    yourself into too much trouble .


    Dane let out a strainedugh , and I released a breath .


    Dane might be able to keep a tight lid on his emotions , but I struggled .


    I was feeling so many things .


    Relief , confusion , fear .


    I had no idea what Id just done , no idea if it was a good thing , or if they were all going to copse again at any second .


    I turned back to Evander .


    His eyes were still closed , but his chest rose and fell steadily .


    It wasnt like thea that Piper had clearly been in .


    Evander was less still like maybe the healing had taken a lot of his energy and he desperately needed sleep to get it back .


    I touched his arm .


    He was covered in blood , but beneath that , it looked like most of his wounds had healed .


    Even so , his skin wasntpletely smooth .


    Chapter 120 4/5 Celia appeared next to me .


    She put a bowl of warm water and a clean cloth in my hand .


    If you clean him up , I can check on Piper .


    Of course , I said .


    My mind was still reeling , but this would at least give me.


    something to do .


    Something to focus on while my brain tried to work through what had just happened .


    I took the water and cloth and began to sponge the blood from my poor cousins face while I ran over it all in my mind .


    I felt Evander dying .


    Id felt my gift from the moon goddess .


    I knew without being told, somehow , that it had to do with healing , so I had pushed it into him .


    But how had it jumped from him to Piper like that ? My magic felt like water , but that st had been like lightning .


    And before that … My stomach dropped as I remembered what the magic had pushed from my mind .


    Evander knew about the twins ! The Reeds had them .


    They had lied , and they had nearly killed Evander .


    No , they had killed him .


    Only my new , strange power had been able to bring him back .


    Theyd meant for him to live just long Chapter 120 5/5 enough to deliver a message , and then theyd meant for him to die .


    I whirled toward Dane .


    You have to call out Waylon Reed .


    Challenge him .


    Kill him .


    Right now .
