Chapter 29 AURORA Dane helpedout of the cave.
He stayed nearas we walked out.
Like he cared for me.
Because he did care for me.
He wanted me.
But at Esthers words, his entire body went as rigid as stone.
What are you talking about? I snapped at Esther.
Ive only spoken to you once in the last five years, and that was when you invaded my hearlier tonight. Esther flinched away like she thought Id hit her.
Dont hurt! I know youve always wanted Dane for your own, but what youve done tonight is too far! You made us spill Blue Ridge blood! Now the Council will kill us ! I felt like Id swallowed a dozen heavy stones.
What was she doing? There was no way Id let her frme for this.
Carefully, calmly, I turned to Dane.
Shes lying I dont know why.
Im not, Esther said.
Her voice took on a sly tone.
Check my pocket.
I recorded the last conversation we had on the phone setting this all up.
Dane looked at me, and I shrugged.
It didnt happen.
I dont care if you check.
# Chapter 29 2/5 He bent and pulled Esthers phone from her pocket while I looked into the nighttforest, trying to decide if the rest of the Reeds were about to ambush us.
Why was she the only one here? The Reeds had always been stealthy and underhanded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI wouldnt be surprised if they were out there watching, waiting.
Probably hoping whatever Esther had concocted on her phone.
worked.
But it wouldnt.
The recording would be sweird, staticky fake, and it would clear my name.
Dane retrieved her phone.
She told him her passcode, then how to find the recording she claimed shed made.
I wasnt worried... until I heard my own voice.
It cfrom the phone, cold and cruel and just as clear as if there were two ofstanding here.
Remember, you old bitch, you follow my orders, now.
But Ann ... Esthers voice, sounding afraid.
Thats Aurora to you.
My voice snapped back.
But that was impossible.
Id never had this conversation.
Id never said these words! Im sorry, Aurora.
Esther whimpered.
You know that we cant shed his blood.
How can we get him onto Reed lands? He wont break the pact.
Chapter 29 3/5 III handle it, I said.
You just get the Nights Truth.
I know he wants.
Then make sure the Blue Ridge wolves know exactly where to find us.
What if he attacks you? Hes always said he hates you! The voice that sounded so much like mine laughed softly Thats what the silver bullets are for.
But dont kill him.
Remember, he ruined my life.
I need him to live after Ive ruined his .
I want to watch him suffer the way he madesuffer.
And that bitch, Evelyn, too.
The recording ended.
Dead silence hung in the air.
Somewhere in the middle of it, Id closed my eyes.
Tears burned behind them.
The warmth that had filledwhen I realized Dane wantedwas gone, replaced with a cold sense of reality.
I opened them to find all of the Blue Ridge wolves staring at me.
Danes eyes were filled with hate.
Behind him, Evelyn looked shocked.
Even though I knew it was useless, I said, That wasnt me.
I didnt do this.
Even to my own ears, my voice sounded numb and flat.
Dane slid Esthers phone into his pocket.
Evelyn took his arm and looked up at him with tragedy on her face.
She fooled you.
Its all right, my love.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWe can talk about this.
Well get through it.
Chapter 29 We can talk about it.
Dane had just said that toand y d felt such m moments ago, е New and felt strange new hope. That was gone now.
Crushed, like my hope always was.
4/5 Id like the phone, I said .
I would like to figure out how she stole my voice.
No, Danes voice grated.
I was still clutching my torn shirt together with my hands.
It could still feel the heat of his body and his mouth on mine.
I waited to see what he would do.
I was alone, deep in the wilderness, with him, his warriors and Evelyn Reed.
He believed the worst of me, like he always did, and I was totally at his mercy. Finally, he spoke.
The alliance between High Alpine and Blue Ridge stands.
But I will not work with you.
I never want to see you again.
Send Trajan.
Send that cousin of yours.
I never want to see you again.
Then he turned... and he left.
He and his wolves, every single one of them, walked away.
They left me,standing in the middle of the forest, alone with Esther Reed.
Oh, dear, she said, and smiled slyly at me.
I think the Alpha is upset.
