Chapter 16 AURORA Dane frowned.

Is that ... a child crying? All of the blood drained from my face, but I couldnt let him see how terrified I was .

Yes, I said.

My cousin just arrived from Europe.

Danes nostrils flared, and I knew he was scentingThat he could see how on edge I was.

He stepped forward and put one of his big hands on the door.

Ms.

DeVere, he said.

Under any other circumstances, hearing the way my nrumbled from his chest wouldve madesuppress a groan of pleasure.

Now, I just wanted him to stop looking atwith that dark, searching gaze.

Whats going on here ? My mind raced.

I could either try to block him from coming in, which would make him even more suspicious, or I could allow him to enter and look around.

I could introduce him to Evander -who, when Dane inevitably used his contacts to look him up- would cback as my cousin.

I stepped aside.

Evander, I called loudly, We have a guest.

Slowly, I stepped back from the door that led into my rooms, 2/5 Chapter 16 gesturing for Dane to enter.

Evander was seated on the couch with his ankle on his knee.

As soon as Dane entered, he rose .

Evander, I said, Letintroduce Alpha Dane Montague of the Blue Ridge Pack.

Hes our partner in the upcoming ... project we have.

And this is his sister, Piper.

Dane eyed Evander suspiciously, but my cousin grinned and reached out to shake his hand.

Its good to meet you, Mr.

Montague, he said.

Ive heard good things.

Have you ? Dane said, raising a surprised eyebrow at me.

I gave him a cool little smile.

Let him wonder what that meant.

Piper, who was hovering by the door, just nodded at Evander .

And of course, Dane, this is my cousin Evander DeVere of the High Alpine Pack.

Dane looked Evander up and down.

Then he looked back at me.

Did you expect this visit ? No.

It was a surprise, I said honestly.

Do you think its wise to have children stay here, considering what happened last night? Dane asked.

Thanks to you and your extra warriors, I believe its perfectly safe.

I forced a smile.

I needed him to leave.

3/5 Chapter 16 I hadnt known I was pregnant with the twins when I fled.

When the DeVeres foundand tookto Europe, Id only barely found out.

Even though things had ended the way they did with Dane, Id never considered ending my pregnancy or giving the twins up once they were born.

It was almost as if I could sense them, and sense the world needed them.

I still felt that way.

Id thought about telling Dane so many times.

But every tI did, I remembered him tossing birth control atand tellinghed rather drink molten silver than cross our bloodlines.

When they were born, I almost told him again.

Dane hatedbecause of what he thought Id done to his family.

I wanted to believe he was better than allowing his hatred ofspread to our children.

But at the stime, hed made it impossible forto trust him, or feel safe with him, no matter how much my instincts screamed that I should.

So, I never told him.

Now, standing here with him in the room, I realized what potential mistake that might have been .

Dane Montague was not a forgiving man.

At least, not when it cto me.

If he found out that Id given birth to his son and daughter, and then hidden them from him for four years ... 4/5 Chapter 16 I didnt know what hed do to me.

Maybe kill me, like hed always promised he would.

But I did know that he would absolutely try to take away my children.

I would die before I allowed that to happen.

No, I would keep them hidden from him.

Keep the fact that they were his a secret .

We would work together unearthing the powerful relic hidden somewhere on his land.

Then Id becLuna of High Alpine and return to Europe, and never see him again Dane looked fromtoward the door that led to the room the twins were in.

I had a sudden, terrible fear one of them would open the door.

That hed see himself in their face immediately.

That he would killright here, despite Trajan, despite Evander, despite everything.

Then his phone buzzed.

So did mine.

I glanced at it.

I didnt spend much tin the spotlight, but the DeVere family Was well known enough that I did have a search alert on both of my names. I tapped on the story and gasped at what I saw .

From Danes face, he saw it, too.

It was a picture of the two of us at the gala at his pack house last 5/5 Chapter 6 night. He had my wrist in one hand and was leaning very close, as if he was about to kiss me.

In the frbelow was a picture of Evelyn, both of her hands on her stomach.

Her eyes were red, as if shed been crying.

The headline read: EVELYN BARCLAY CONFIRMS PREGNANGY AMIDST RUMORS OF BILLIONAIRE BOYFRIEND CHEATING WITH EX WIFE. I stared at the phone screen, then at Dane.

Dane, I murmured, not sure why I felt like the world was falling out from beneath me.

Is Evelyn pregnant? Dane slid his phone in his pocket .

From his face, he was just as shocked as me.

I need to leave, he said.

Then he turned and strode out the door.
