Chapter 126 AURORA My stomach clenched and I looked down at the phone in his hand.
It was a picture of me.
At least, the back of me.
I was walking down the hall, away from a shirtless Holden, who leaned in the doorway of his room.
That moment felt so long ago now a moment that had happened back when Holden was still my friend.
Before I knew what depths he would sink to if it meant getting what he wanted.
I went very still.
How long have you had this? A couple of days.
Danes voice was quiet.
I glanced up and noticed everyone had left the infirmary except the two of us.
And Evander, of course, who was still unconscious in the bed.
I fought back the urge to laugh hysterically.
I wasnt sure what to say, or what Holdens Alpha commands would allowto say.
Holden- I tried to let it all out.
To tell Dane about the ceremony hed forcedthrough.
I tried to tell him I was Holdens mate, natural or not, and that I was a Fall Line wolf, Chapter 126 2/5 somehow, even though I had no wolf and technically couldnt belong to a pack like the others could.
As soon as I started, my throat closed.
I coughed and had to cover my mouth to keep from gagging.
Dan idnt reach out to comfort me.
Instead, he watched me.
I think he meant to be impassive, but I could see emotion buried deep in his eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSomething had happened to him since he left this room.
Something was wrong.
And somehow, I was only a small part of it.
The urge to cough subsided and I swallowed.
My throat ached.
I tried again to answer.
This was the morning after I accidentally ... and your grandfather ... I shook my head.
I didnt want to remember how my actions had killed someone I loved.
You said you were going to exile me.
Separatefrom the twins.
Holden ... I waited to see if my throat would close, but it didnt.
He gavewine.
I drank it.
I woke up the next morning in his bed.
I tried to maintain my cool exterior, but it cracked .
I was coming apart.
I dont remember what happened after that.
Holden claimed ... He had said, You were incredible.
Dane slipped his phone into his pocket.
His entire body had gone tense, and I couldnt help but notice that he seemed to be Chapter 126 3/5 very deliberately not touching me.
Instead, his arms were folded across his broad, muscular chest.
A muscle in his jaw worked.
What did Holden claim? He implied we had been ... together.
Danes eyes filled with rage.
When I took you to my grandfathers house that day, you said you hadnt been with anyone since.
Youd never been with anyone except me.
Helplessness filled me.
I dont know what happened At the time, I would have sworn Holden wouldnt hurt me.
But I know thats not true, now.
I suppose he might have drugged me.
Whether he did anything towhile I was drugged, only he could say.
Why didnt you tell me? Dane growled.
The hair on the back of my neck prickled.
I liked to think I was never in danger from Dane, but right now I wasnt actually sure.
I was on my way to tell you, but your grandfather had died.
Holden pulledinto that closet.
Then... I trailed off.
After that, hed pickedup like a caveman and cartedoff into the woods, to his grandfathers house. Then I didnt have room in my mind or my heart to think of anyone but you.
I wanted to reach out to him so badly.
I wanted him to takeChapter 126 4/5 in his arms and to feel the comfort of his immense strength.
I wanted to hear him say he would protect me, and that together we could make this all better.
But I couldnt take that first step.
I couldnt reach out to him.
Not when I was tainted by Holdens grip on me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot when I was touc by shadow.
Then we chome, I said quietly, And the twins were missing.
Then Holden took me, and my problems becless about what he might have done toand more about what he did do. Danes expression shifted.
Maybe it softened, but I couldnt be sure.
Very quietly, he said.
What did Holden do when he had you ? I shuddered.
My eyes burned.
I wouldnt cry.
So much of what cbetween Dane and I was hard to believe.
So much madesound like a liar who just wanted to play the victim all the time.
I wasnt sure what cosmic forces kept bouncing Dane and I off each other like magnets who couldn't decide whether they wanted to attract or repel, but I was tired of feeling like their toy. Doing my best to hide my trembling, I said, I cant tell you.
Dane stepped close to me.
Close enough that I could feel his heat.
Close enough that I could finally identify the emotion in his eyes.
Chapter 126 It wasnt soft at all.
It was a white hot seething rage.
5/5 Thats not good enough, he growled.
Tellwhat he did to you! Something tugged on me.
Not Holdens magic ... a different pow Danes power.
As if he could touchwith his own Alpha commands, even though I had no wolf.
For an instant, it felt like the stranglehold Holders wer had on eloosened, and I could breathe. Dane, I half sobbed, He...
