RedNovelChapter 46 DANE Impossible.
Everything about this was fucking impossible.
Her hand was on my cheek, slender and soft but strong.
What did I want from her? What did I want? I had made the engagement with Evelyn official because she was pregnant with my child.
But Aurora was already the mother of my children.
Two of them.
By that logic, I should be engaged to her.
Except Aurora and I couldnt work.
There had been too many lies, too much betrayal.
She might not be a Reed by blood, but she was still one of them.
The things shed done, both on that night eight years ago and just barely, when she worked with Esther Reed to get Evelyn to catchmaking love to her while I was drugged with Nights Truth, proved that.
I was still waiting for the recording Esther gaveto be analyzed.
But it was too far fetched that it might be a fake.
There was no way.
But until I truly knew... Chapter 46 2/5 I released my grip on Auroras wrist and broke away from her.
My hand left an angry red mark, and she opened and closed her palm a few times.
I clenched my teeth.
I hadnt meant to hurt her.
I always forgot that not having a wolf made her more delicate.
Well? she said.
I had no answer, so I said, I dont want anything from you, Aurora.
I only want my children.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen I turned and walked away.
Maybe she could bring down the Council on me.
Maybe even the full might of the High Alpine Pack.
With Holden Coleridge as a friend ... or more ... she might be able to bring Fall Line down on us, too.
Those two packs combined might destroy us.
But like her, I couldnt let my children go .
Not now that I knew I had them.
When I had thrown that Plan B box at her years ago and refused to get her pregnant, Id been a different man.
Younger, angrier, more broken.
Shed been different, as well.
If she wasnt constantly trying to destroy... might I give us another chance? Fuck.
I went to the infirmary, where the pack healers had my A Chapter 46 grandfather and Piper under twenty four hour surveillance.
I sat in the chair between their beds.
For a long time, I just listened to the monitors beep with the beats of their hearts.
They were all the family I had in the world.
3/5 I was the Alpha.
I had hundreds of wolves who answered to me.
Who relied on me.
But sometimes I felt so fucking alone.
I remembered my grandfathers words from the night I walked in on him having a nightmare.
I wont sacrifice him ... not my grandson ... he doesnt need it ... not that kind of power ... It felt more and more likely that his words were tangled up in everything Aurora and I were doing.
The shadows, the book, the Reeds.
Why would have to sacrifice me? I asked my grandfathers unconscious form.
What do you know about this power, and why didnt you tellbefore ? Of course, he didnt answer.
His heart just kept beating, slow but steady.
Shh ! My ears sharpened at the sound of the whisper.
I didnt look around.
I knew who it was.
Your mother and I told you to find Mrs.
Jamison, my voice Chapter 46 was a scolding growl.
Tristans blond head poked out from behind the foot of my grandfathers bed.
A second later, his sisters did, too.
4/5 What are you two doing here? I was so tired, and while there.
were children in the pack, I never dealt with them directly.
When I told them to obey, they generally did.
These two were different.
Challenging.
Like their mother.
Tristan call the way out from behind the bed, set his feet, and folded his arms across his chest.
You and Mommy were yelling at each other.
I just chere to tell you not to yell at her again ! Seraphina cout more slowly and put a hand on her brothers shoulder.
Tristan, look.
Hes sad, though.
I dont care, the boy said stubbornly.
Ill fight him.
His sister sighed heavily.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI had a brief vision of these two, far in the future.
Nothing that felt as real and powerful as the tId seen their faces before e I met them. Just something ... parental .
The two of them, as adults, still arguing like this
I hadnt known these two existed days ago, but now ... what I wouldnt give to see them grow up and becthe leaders and fighters I suddenly knew they would. Chapter 46 Its a serious thing to challenge an Alpha, I told the boy.
He glared at me.
Im serious.
I nodded gravely.
I can tell.
5/5 Why are you sad? Seraphina said abruptly.
She stood on her tiptoes to get a better look at who was in the beds.
Is it because Piper and this man are sick? Yes.
I said.
Piper is my sister, and this man is my grandfather.
That means hes our grandpa, too! Seraphina whispered, her eyes going wide.
And Piper is our ... um...
Aunt, I said.
Tristans eyes went wide, and he relaxed his stance to stand on tiptoes and look at them, too. He seemed to have forgotten his anger.
Do we have more family? No.
I cleared my throat.
Just these two.
I could tell them about my parents.
What Broken Forest ... and their mother... had done.
If I got the twins on my side, maybe they would choose me.
