Chapter 47
Chapter 47 DANE I didnt .
I was a bastard , but even I wouldnt ruin a childs love for their mother .
Thats not true , Seraphina piped up .
She tentatively came over to me .
She patted my knee , then , to my shock , she climbed into my lap .
She took my face in her tiny hands and stared me down .
with a serious look in her lilac eyes .
You have us .
Were your family .
Sera … Tristan hissed .
Seraphina glared at him .
He does .
Were his family .
As long as hes nice to Mommy .
I swallowed , entirely captured by this moment .
By this little girl .
and her firm look and her tiny hands .
My restraint broke , and I pulled her into a hug .
Thank you .
I let her go , and she hopped off my lap .
Just then , the door opened .
A harried looking woman entered the room .
She looked young at first glance .
Then I realized she was older but had aged well .
There was something about her face … something familiar I couldnt place .
There you two are ! she said .
Oh , no ! Are you bothering the Alpha ? Im so sorry , Alpha Montague .
These two are quite a bit.
Chapter 47 2/5 more trouble than their mother used to be .
Then again , there are two .
Its fine .
I rose .
Then her words hit me .
Did you say … you knew Aurora as a child ? She smiled .
Yes , I was her nanny , too .
Though I was barely more than a girl , myself .
I still think of her as Ann , even though Im not supposed to .
I stepped toward her , and her eyes went wide .
I have questions for you .
Questions about Aurora , and about the Reeds .
Her face went pale .
Oh , sir .
Please .noveldrama
There are things I swore Id never tell .
Not anyone .
Not even Ann .
AURORA I stormed away .
It wasnt until later that I realized Id walked away from Dane without telling him a single one of my revelations from the back of the book .
And without asking him my question .
It was more important , now than ever , that I go to the old Reed pack house .
More important that I find the last two pages that had been torn out of the book .
Because if what Id found was right , there wasnt just one chosen of the moon goddess .
There were three .
Chapter 47 3/5 I might still have a chance to be one of them .
Maybe , if I was , the goddess would have mercy on me and give me my wolf back .
I had to find Dane again .
I wasnt about to ask his permission , but it would be good to have his support .
Last time Id tried to go , wed been ambushed by the Reeds .
Id prefer to have a few wolves with me in addition to Trajan if I didnt want that to happen again .
There was also Evander , but now more than ever I wanted him to protect the twins .
What are you doing wandering the halls ? I looked up sharply .
Evelyn stood in front of me , an irritated frown on her face .
I straightened and lifted my chin .
Walking .
Evelyn .
Why are you walking toward my fiancés room ? You mean why am I trying to find my business partner ? I gave her a sharp smile .
For business .
If he wanted you to know about it , you would .
Dont you think that business is mine , now , too ? After all , aside from the fact that Im the mother of his child , Im the chosen of the goddess .
Everyone who matters will want me to be involved in what were doing .
If you dont , I doubt anyone will care .
I surprised the desire to push her off her three inch heels .
You will certainly have your role to play , I said with a smile .
But apter 47 4/5 whether that role involves anything beyond your wheelhouse- like thinking remains to be seen .
If were lucky , you can play to your strengths and stand around and look pretty .
You bitch ! Evelyn snarled .
I should I didnt stay to listen what she thought she should do .
I turned and walked away .
I wondered if shed follow me , but thankfully , she didnt .
I was glad .
My mind was filled with other things .
First and foremost , worry over Dane and the twins .
But there was also what Id seen in the book .
It looked like there was more to what Dane and I were doing than just unearthing something powerful .
The translation was painstakingly slow , but Id made out something about a prison or a cage , and something about shadows .
It couldnt be a coincidence that shadows were attacking Danes family .
But why hadnt they gone after Dane or me or my family ? It seemed that the shadows might be some kind of … security measure .
Some kind of guardian put in place to protect the relic .
If that was so , the fact that they were coming after us meant that we were getting close .
But the danger was growing .
People we loved were getting hurt .
I wasnt certain if we should keep pushing or call everything off .
Chapter 47 When I had the last two pages , I would know .
I had to .
Evelyn , wait ! 5/5 I paused .
The voice came from behind me , around a corner Id just turned .
Evelyn must have been following me , after all .
Not now , she hissed .
This cant wait .
I need … damn it , Evelyn … There was the unmistakable sound of two people kissing .
My heart pounded in my chest .
Was Danes beloved , the bane of my existence , the woman he had cheated on me with … cheating on him ? I eased up to the corner .
I had to know .
Holding my breath , I peered around the edge .
