Chapter 79 He Got The Necklace **Ethan‘s POV

The maps on my desk were beginning to blur together. Mostly, I was thinking about the war efforts–

but sometimes about other matters. Rosalie. The baby. The letter.

I couldn‘t think about it. I couldn‘t let my mind go there, not at all…

She had made her request of me, and I needed to honor that

and live my life the way she wished. Except, how could I be happy without her?

I looked at the maps again, concentrating on the new Xs we‘d drawn for the new

attacks, trying to come up with a plan. It was late, and most of the others had long gone to bed. So I was

surprised when there was a knock at my door. At first, I

thought perhaps I had imagined it. I looked up, waiting to see if I heard it

again. Instead, the door opened just a bit, and Talon stuck his head in.

We hadn‘t talked much since he‘d told me the truth

about Rosalie. I was angry at him, but I knew I really needed to be thinking about my own actions in this

entire matter. I wasn‘t ready for that yet.

“What is it?” | grumbled at him, returning my eyes to the maps, pretending to be so busy, I could hardly s

pare the time to look up at him at all. Talon came into the room quietly, moving like he was afraid I

had been asleep or still was. He cleared his throat and stood in front of my desk.

I should‘ve caught on right then and there that it was important. I looked up at him. “What is it?”

Alpha, from time to time, some traders come in from the islands. Even now, with the war going on, that st

ill happens. One of them had some nice jewelry pieces…”

I was confused by what he was saying, but I decided to continue to listen. “…

Vicky decided to take a look at them because she thought she might find a necklace or bracelet or somet

hing to cheer up the little girl, Lily, whose mother is still missing…”

I listened to him drone on and on, still wondering what the h*ll any of this had to do with me. “And?” I ask

ed him, finally losing all my patience.

“And… while Vicky was browsing the jewelry one of the traders had brought in… she found this.”

He pulled a piece of jewelry out of his pocket and held it out to me.

My eyes were a little unfocused from staring at the maps, so I wasn‘t sure I was seeing the necklace corr

ectly at first. But after a moment of staring, I was certain I was seeing it.

I would recognize that piece of jewelry anywhere. It hung

there in the shadows cast by the dim light from the lamp on my desk like a ghost, haunting me from beyo

nd the grave, the gemstones catching the light and winking at me mockingly.

My hands flexed on the desk in front of me. I wanted to reach out and touch it, but I also didn‘t want

to. I was afraid my fingers would fly right through it, like it was a hologram. Looking up at

Talon, I managed to ask him, “Wh–where did he get it?” …
