Chapter 123 DANE 1/5 Wh... are you trying to tell me, Evelyn ? I asked.

Id known her for so long.

Id seen her happy, angry, smug, self righteous, and livid with rage.

But I had never seen her look... burdened.

Or tired.

Or uncertain.

She looked all of those things now.

She was always so confident, it felt wrong to see this worn look on her face, instead.

Instead of answering directly, she rubbed the crescent shaped birthmark on her arm .

The one that had letknow she was the sgirl who got kidnapped withwhen we were children. Did you see the picture I sent you? Of Aurora and- I saw it, I said.

My hands curled into fists.

My nails turned to claws and pressed into my palms with a sharp, piercing pain.

I only curled them harder.

You didnt fly into a rage and throw her out of the pack house, though, Evelyn said.

I turned on her, and only digging down to the iron core of my control keptfrom turning into my lycan form and taking her by the throat.

Is that why you sent it? Chapter 123 2/5 Most people would look intimidated if I turned on them like that. Evelyn just regardedwith cool blue eyes.

I think so.

But she wasnt completely unaffected.

If she wasnt at least a little afraid, she wouldnt have pressed one of her hands over the swell of her belly.

I took a breath, forcing the man to take over, forcing the wolf to back down.

Maybe I did rage.

Then I took a step back and realized you might be motivated to make her look bad.

I should have realized it a long tago.

You really are on her side now, then? Evelyn asked.

She didnt sound angry, just distant and numb.

Im on the side of the Blue Ridge Pack, I said.

Im on whatever side keeps us alive through all the shit weve stirred up .

But you love Aurora, Evelyn said.

Just stated it flat out in an emotionless voice.

It took eight years, but she finally got what she wanted.

I didnt respond because I didnt know what to say.

Whatever I felt, it had nothing to do with Evelyn either way.

Thats between Aurora and me.

The real answer was that were on a fucking roller coaster, and I wanted off the ride .

I wanted to know she was mine, or I wanted to shut down everything we had, finish this thing we were doing with High Alpine, and never see her again .

Chapter 123 3/5 Except that now, the thought of never seeing her again felt like a knife stabbed into my gut and twisted over and over and over again.

Whats the point of this, Evelyn ? I growled.

She ugged.

Then she stood up from the wall.

She was still the easy, graceful woman whod attractedall those years ago.

Over tshed shown she was selfish, image obsessed, and vain.

I knew her childhood hadnt been easy, even if I didnt know all the details .

But neither had Auroras, and she was still loyal, kind, and caring.

Now, though, when I looked at Evelyn, someone new looked out of her eyes. Someone who was changing.

Not the elegant woman Id fallen for, but not a shallow shell of a person, either. Why did you send that picture, Evelyn ? I asked again .

Her smile held no humor.

I think its tthe women in your life stopped keeping secrets from you.

She put a hand on her belly again and turned to walk She hadnt gone three steps when she paused, looked over her away.

shoulder and said, Dane, do you remember when you were kidnapped by the Reeds as a child? Slowly, I nodded.

Images flashed through my brain.

Dark shadows I still had to fight to keep at bay, even as a grown man Chapter 123 20 years later.

Yes.

Evelyn gavea meaningful look.

One I wasnt sure how to read.

Then she said, I dont .

I stared at her.

My brain turned over her words.

4/5 Once you figure out what I mean, she said, and one you follow those thoughts to their natural conclusion, ats to I only ask you to givethe sconsideration youre giying Aurora over that picture.

If not because you loveanymore, then because weve weve spent so many years of our lives together. Dont rage.

Dont kill me.

If you want to talk, Ill talk.

Then she turned and started to leave again.

Only then did I fully realize what she meant.

Do you remember when you were kidnapped by the Reeds as a child? Yes.

I dont .

And then, I think its tthe women in your life stopped keeping secrets from you.

1 felt the entire story of my life for the last eight years every moment with her, every touch, every tshed made eyes and run her fingers over that damned crescent birth mark rewrite itself in my mind. Chapter 123 Evelyn had lied.

It was all a fucking lie.

And then... I remembered.
