LittleNovelChapter 102 AURORA After Trajan toldEvander was still on Broken Forest land, looking for signs of the twins, I worried.
I wanted him to call Evander back.
He said he knew Evander would cback if I ordered, but this was something he thought the younger wolf should be allowed to do.
I was so overwhelmed by everything else I was dealing with, I didnt have the heart to say no.
Trajan went to rest, and Dane tookto his office.
Ill be directing the search efforts of the pack.
If you can think of anything else to do, do it from here .
Please.
His eyes dropped and he wouldnt meet my gaze.
You and the twins are all I have left, and youre all I have left that I can protect here and now.
I could hear the desperation in his voice, so I agreed.
I already knew what I wanted to do, anyway.
Wolves werent the only creatures that humans whispered about that lived on this land.
There were others.
Witches.
Vampires.
Darker, more unknowable things.
It was tto see what they knew, and what it would take to get Chapter 102 their help.
Id managed a decent list of the local supernatural creatures when my phone rang.
It was my grandmother.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI didnt dare ignore it.
I straightened my hair and opened the video call.
Grandmother.
What can I do for you? 2/5 Her thin lips were pressed tightly together, making even more wrinkles around her mouth than usual.
Youre to meet with Alpha Coleridge.
Alone.
A chill went down my back.
You know what he tried to do.
Her face softened, and she sighed.
Yes.
I know.
If I were there, Id have him gutted and demand Fall Line appoint a new Alpha.
Unfortunately, our reach in the United States isnt as strong as I would like it to be.
But if you succeed, it will be.
Then her gaze sharpened again Though success seems less likely now that resources are being diverted to search for our kidnapped heirs.
What the hell is going on over there, Aurora ? It was my turn to press my lips together.
A lot, grandmother.
Plots deeper and older than any I expected.
I hesitated, then asked a question that had been burning the deepest parts of my mind like a hot coal for weeks Grandmother.
Esther Reed says she knew my mother.
That Celeste DeVere may have... soldto them.
Chapter 102 3/5 Outrage flooded my grandmothers face, turning her old, papery cheeks red .
How dare you suggest such a thing! My Celeste would never.
If you dare breathe such a terrible rumor to anyone else, I will cut you off immediately, do you hear me? I felt like shed punchedin the stomach.
But at the same.
time... er rage was oddly reassuring.
I hadnt known my mother, but grandmother had.
If she said Celeste wouldnt sell her baby to the Reeds, I had to believe it.
What happened to send my mother here? I asked.
Did she say anything to you about having contact with the Reeds? I dont see what any of that has to do with your missing children or anything were dealing with now, my grandmother snipped.
I would have laughed if I didnt know that would make her hang up the phone.
Grandmother, it has everything to do with whats happening now.
Somehow, I ended up with the Reeds.
That means its likely that my mother had contact with them at spoint.
Well, how did they end up with you ? she asked.
Did they adopt you? Find you in the woods? They always toldI was their birth daughter.
They even tried to lie about it once they knew Id found you.
Which means I havent exactly been able to get the story from them.
I pinched the bridge of my nose.
Ive searched for official adoption records before, back when I was living with you.
There are none.
However they got me, it had to be done illegally.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChapter 102... whether with my mothers consent or not.
4/5 I didnt add that last part.
It would only make Augusta angry.
Well... I didnt speak much with your mother at that ttof her life myn grandmother said. If someone did, it would have been that useless son of mine.
Uncle Winston ? I said.
Augusta DeVere had three children: Celeste, Gemma, and Winston.
Celeste was my mother, her oldest.
Gemma, the middle daughter, was the mother of that evil bitch Lillian .
Winston, the youngest and only son, was Evanders father along with his older brother, Lorcan. Yes, Winston.
Though I dont know what use hell be.
Hes half lost his mind, anyway.
Filled it with useless facts about rocks, instead.
Idiot.
Thank you, I said.
Ill call him and see what he knows.
Grandmothers face got all pinched again.
If you must.
But first, like I said, Holden Coleridge wants a meeting with you but that brute Dane Montagues wolves wont En let him anywhere near you. Give him the meeting he wants.
Now.
We need Fall Lines wolves if it comes to war with Blue Ridge once we have the relic.
The hair on the back of my neck stood on end, and I spoke very carefully.
You dont plan to take the relic from Dane, do you?
