Chapter 0473 Valerie's demeanour changes and she leans intoa little more, her heart thundering.
'His expression is off,' she murmurs through the link, kissingsensually. I wrap my hands around her, protectively kissing her back.
'I'm not surprised. There's more to him than meets the eye and we might just find out today what exactly his intentions are,' I say as I move back and look at the man whose expression is once again polite and welcoming. 1 But even a killer can wear a smile.
"So tell me, how did you two meet?" Cassian asks. "I won't deny that I was very disappointed when Valerie toldshe was taken." 2 I smile faintly. "Anyone would be," I remark. "We met a while back, but even destiny created us for one another. You must have heard of a werewolf's fated bond?" "I have, but I also know it's rather rare," he remarks. 2 Knows it's rare, not heard that it's rare. How is he so certain? "It sure is, but it's also one of the most powerful things... we would do anything for our fated," I answer, lightly running my hand up and down Valerie's waist.

"I see... I'm assuming you would even kill for her." I cock a brow. "If the need arises." I cut Valerie off. "Without hesitation." "That sounds almost like a warning," Cassian remarks with another smile.
"Ok, the proclamation of how much the bond means is clear. So how does the auction work?" Valerie asks, and I realise the atmosphere around us has becpretty tense.
Both Cassian and I look away.
"Well, there's a lot of donations in terms of items made for the auction. Sare extremely pricy, others are not so much. But the money is for charity, so everyone is rather generous. It's all just a little fun. I hope you find something you like today, too." "I'm sure I will," Valerie answers with a small polite smile.
An hour and a half later we were seated at a table enjoying the meal as the items were displayed. It's casual, with dinner continuing as people bid on items. There is a lot of artwork, ssculptures, and even an old medal, and a necklace.
This place isn't my scene and the attention I'm getting is irritating. I prefer to keep a low profile and that isn't really happening with so many annoying women looking at me.
My phone vibrates and I take it out to see it's a text from Adriana. She's currently watching my laptop where I am working on hacking into the system that controls the microchips. I'm close, but it's been stuck on 99.5 percent for days. It's taking longer than I had hoped for or predicted.
I had tried to ask her about Atticus, but she made it clear she didn't want to talk about it. I look down at the message.
ADRIANA: It's changed to 99.7 percent! We are close.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmExcellent.
'We're close,' I tell Valerie who is watching me, noticing the slight change in my heartbeat. She smiles softly atand I lean over, placing a finger under her chin. 'We're almost there, Little Mate.' I murmur through the link, leaning in to kiss her just when the next item is announced, the title catching my attention.
"This one is by an anonymous benefactor called 'The Moon's Sacrifice."
I peck her lips and move back as both Valerie and I turn and look at the Shark image that contains a stark moon, trees, darkness and... a half-man, half-wolf impaled on a cross.
A murmur sifts through the crowd and the sound of a chair scraping Dan, who im makesturn and a isla er en certain is a werewolf, although I can't really sense his wolf, leaves the room, causing a ripple of whispers in his wake. "He probably took offence," someone murmured.
"Well, if something so small is offensive to them, then maybe they don't belong in society..." 1
"From a mysterious benefactor," I say pretty clearly. "Or coward. Make the art and display it proudly. What do they have to be afraid of by staying anonymous? That says a lot about them." ENJOYING THE BOOK? Give it a rating to show your support! Not interesting at all.
