GoodReadChapter 55 DANE Aurora was quiet for a long time.
I didnt blher.
I hadnt lied to her.
I was working through this.
Id fought it for so long.
For eight years, Id believed every single terrible thing about her I could.
I had pushed her away.
Hurt her on purpose.
That whole time, there was always dread that lurked in the back of my mind.
My greatest fear was to find out Id treated someone like a monster when theyd been innocent all along.
When I was younger, I was so sure.
When shed cback, Id doubted.
Now, I couldnt deny it any longer.
I had proof that she was right.
The Reeds had forced her.
Framed her.
What that meant for me, for her, for our children ... even for Evelyn ... I didnt know.
Dane, she said, It doesnt matter.
You know that, right? I glanced at her sharply.
Of course, it matters.
Chapter 55 2/5 She shook her head.
No it doesnt .
And it shouldnt.
Whether or not you believe... you should stay away.

Its better for you.
Were business partners.
Everything else is over.
Whatever is in the past, its done.
I stalked toward her.
Do you think its that simple ? What about the children? She flinched.
I dont know.
She shook her head sadly.
I truly dont know.
But con, Dane.
Even if youd believed met back then, would it have changed anything? Would you have been willing to have children with a woman you believed was a Reed? Would it have stopped you from taking Evelyn as your mistress ? I had been about to say, yes, it would have changed things.
But at her questions, I paused.
She was right.
At the time, I still thought she had Reed blood.
And Evelyn ? Nothing would ever change the fact that she had saved my life.
when we were children.
That I owed her everything.
There was a low, ominous rumbling from deep below.
Whats that? I asked.
Aurora was looking around the room with wide eyes.
When the vision had taken her earlier, Id worried.
Now she was looking around like she was terrified one was going to take her again.
I dont know... I remember ... Then her eyes went wide.
The Chapter 55 guardian.
What? 3/5 She ran pastout of the room and into the basement, toward the place wed fallen through the floor .
Aurora, wait! I ran after her.
She didnt stop.
I caught up with her, grabbed her wrist, and held her back as she pulled against me.
Trajan! she called.
Just then, I heard the alarmed howls of two wolves, and Archers mind crashed into mine. Dane ! Theres something down here.
Something big.
We found the pages, and now its chasing us ! Run, I told Aurora .
Get upstairs.
Theres something after- Two lycans burst through a gaping hole in the wall and ran for us.
It was Trajan and Archer.
We found them! Trajan shouted.
He lunged for Aurora and grabbed her hand, pushing something into her palm.
Folded pieces of paper.
Those are the pages, he panted.
Now you have to run.
Get out.
Ill buy you time.
Trajan ? Aurora looked at the folded papers in her hands with huge eyes.
What-? Chapter 55 4/5 Something moved in the darkness.
I squinted through the hole the two wolves had just cthrough.
At first, my brain couldnt wrap around it.
It was too big.
Like the whole of the darkness moving on its own.
Then it started to push through.

Aurora ! Get out of here! Trajan called in his gruff lycan voice.
He turned and spun to face the thing, which screamed at him from the Hole in the wall. The content is on e novelenglish.net! No! Stop! Aurora ran toward them.
You cant- ! The shadow creature shot through the hole like water from a fire hose.
It went right for me.
It had a stinger out, like the one it used on my grandfather.
Like the one probably used on Piper.
No! Aurora threw herself in front of me.
The stinger sunk into her chest.
Trajan and I both shouted at once.
He was on the creature in an instant.
Magic jolted throughas I took on my lycan form and I was right behind him .
But the creature was so fast.
Neither of us could stop it from Chapter 55 5/5 getting to her.
It moved like putty or slime, oozing around her legs and trapping her feet , then pulling them out from under hez. Aurora ! I called.
She reached for me.
Dane ! He AH! Her cries for help turned to cries of pain.
All of us tried to get to her, but it blocked us, looping a huge coil around her.
The side of its body crashed into us and sent us flying.
I was first to my feet, but all of us lunged .
I sank my claws into it, and almost howled at the pain.
It was so cold it madefeel like my fingers were frozen down to the bone just to touch it. Ahh ! Please, help! Aurora called again.
The monster dragged her into the dark.
