BookAmazoneChapter 65 AURORA No! I clamped my teeth over whatever else I was about to say.
One thing Id learned in the last five years was that Augusta DeVere loved when I was imperious... to everyone except her.
Excuse me? she snapped.
I gave you an order, you ungrateful pup.
Remember, I own everything in your life.
You will obey me, or I will take it all away.
Dane still sat close toon the bed.
He sat back, watching me.
Then, to my shock, he took my hand in his and squeezed.
After so long thinking of him as someone who hated me, I was so surprised, by the reassurance, I almost pulled away.
But his hand felt so good around mine.
I squeezed back.
Of course, Ill obey you grandmother... Dane scowled.
I wasnt sure if it was because he didnt like to hearswear obedience to someone, or if he didnt like that the someone wasnt him.
but I think you may have been deceived about how much progress Im making here.
Weve already uncovered one of the three chosen of the goddess.
Plus, we found the missing pages of the ancient book that should uncover the other two.
Chapter 65 2/4 There are three ? she said in surprise.
Aurora, I had no idea.
Why havent you been updatingmore often? Im sorry, I was going to, but then my injury ... I waited for my grandmothers warmth to return.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt didnt.
However, her voice wasnt as cold as it had been at first.
Well.
I suppose under the circumstances, it would be a waste to pull out the resources weve already invested.
Thats exactly what I was thinking, I said, relief flooding me.
Weve already sunk enough cost into this that its worth continuing a little longer.
Hm, she said.
A little longer.
I wont let the fact that Ive already spent smoney on this force my hand into spending more, however.
You have your cut of the packs profits for this month in your bank account.
But Im tired of waiting, and of you putting those heirs of mine at risk.
I want the relic, Aurora, and I want it soon.
Youll have it soon, I said, relieved she wasnt insisting we cback today.
In under a month, Augusta declared.
My stomach flipped over.
One month ? Its possible grandmother, but surely two or three months... Chapter 65 3/4 One, she barked. Relic or not, I want every member of the High Alpine Pack including those children on a flight home.
My hand tightened around the phone.
Dane sat next to me.
With his keen wolf cars, there was no way he couldnt hear every word my grandmother said.
He didnt break eye contact withas I took a careful breath and said, Of course, grandmother.
Good.
Make it happen.
Goodbye.
With that, she hung up.
A rumble emanated from Danes chest.
You arent taking my children away from me.
I closed my eyes.
Theyre yours, but theyre also mine, and through me, theyre members of High Alpine .
Thats their pack.
I claim them.
III make them part of Blue Ridge .
My eyes flew open, and I put a hand on his chest.
Dont.
Just... wait.
Givetime.
Augusta cares more about whats good for High Alpine Pack then how happy my our children are.
Dont be like her, Dane.
We have to put our childrens happiness first .
The muscles in his jaw worked, but he nodded.
I wont fly off the handle, and I wont claim them for my pack just yet.
But this has to happen, Aurora.
Im not letting them go.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI rubbed my temples.
I had always looked out for the twins, and Chapter 65 4/4 I wouldnt stop now.
But this was a bridge we could cross when we cto it.
It wasnt worth fighting Dane or my grandmother over right at this moment.
I had to change the subject.
We have a much tighter timeline.
than I had originally planned, I said .
I was hoping for weeks with those two pages before we made another is before we move, hot months. Translation is so tricky.
Getting it right cant be rushed.
Dane grunted.
We can make it happen in a month.
Maybe thats for the best we wont be able to be as careful, but it alsom means there will be less tfor En.
outsiders to find out what were doing . and interfere.
We need to meet with everyone, I said.
Givean hour, Dane said.
III make it happen.
And when the meeting is over... I looked at him curiously.
When its over? He lifted my hands and pressed my knuckles to his lips .
In a move that made heat pool between my legs, he slid the tip of his tongue between my first and middle fingers in a hot, suggestive stroke. Have dinner with me.
Then stay the night.
Weve waited long enough.
Say yes.
