Chapter 82 AURORA I ran my hands over Danes tense shoulders, then through his thick, soft hair .
My hands shook.
I wanted to tell him the truth.
I was going to tell him the truth about as much as I could.
But I was still afraid.
If he thought I was lying, Id die.
But the truth could killjust as easily.
I ... I took a steadying breath.
I want to tell you the truth, Dane, but Im afraid you wont believe it.
He said nothing, just held on to me, waiting.
So, I started talking.
I know you and I are committed to finding this relic, but lately ... I dont know what to think .
These shadow creatures ... the attacks ... I trailed off, then started again.
Ive had s... dreams.
Somet visions.
I keep seeing myself in the past, and I dont know if Im the good person I thought I was.
But honest to the goddess, Dane, I thought I was a good person.
I want to be a good A Chapter 82 person.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMy voice wavered at the end, and his thumbs began stroking small circles on my back.
2/4 Like I told you in the infirmary, I had a dream.
I thought I saw myself healing your grandfather and Piper.
So, I went down, and instead... My breath caught.
And now Connall is dead.
One of the few people who loved and acceptedbefore.
And its my fault.
I pressed a hand to my mouth as tears began to flow freely from my eyes.
Im so, so sorry.
I never meant to take him from you and your pack.
From our children.
Youre right to blme for it.
But it wasnt because I meant it to happen.
I was just a fool.
The tears ran down my cheeks, warm and wet.
I dont know why Im getting these dreams, or what entity is sending them towhy trying to kill your family off I just know it all started when I cback here.
I think this relic... its protected by something dark, and the darkness wants to claim me, and it wants to kill you But I dont know why.
And I cant understand where Evelyn fits into it.
Unless she really was the chosen of the goddess of the moon, and I was the chosen of ... something else. Something evil.
Maybe Id been wrong about everything.
My whole life, Id wanted to do good.
To be good.
..
Chapter 82 But maybe I wasnt good.
Maybe I was the evil that had to be vang inquished .
3/4 Anyway, thats the truth.
I fear myself I fear these dreams.
But aside from that.
I dont know any more than you do.
If I did, I would have stayed away from your grandfather.
I promise, I wont go near Piper .
Words arent enough forto say how much I regret what happened, but I am no, so sor I didnt go into any more detail about the past.
I couldnt bring myself to say Id wanted him dead .
That everything hed suspected ofback then had been true .
Or would have been true, if I hadnt lost my memory the night we met.
I also didnt voice my thoughts that maybe I was evil, and he and Evelyn were supposed to join forces to get rid of me.
That maybe we were skind of star crossed lovers, one dark, one light.
But the thought took hold, and I couldnt help but say, Maybe each of us were claimed by opposing powers far beyond us, and any love we might have had was doomed before it had even had a chance to start.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDane finally straightened.
I sat on the edge of the bed, and he knelt before me.
He traced a hand up my arm to my shoulder to the back of my neek.
Then he pulledforward and kissed me.
It was soft and heartfelt.
Part offeared it was a kiss goodbye.
That he was lullinginto this moment of relaxation it would be ve easy when he snapped my neek. Chapter 82 4/4 But he didnt.
He pulled back, his eyes scorching into me.
I dont know whats going on.
I dont know why my family is in danger.
But Im sick of reacting instead of acting.
From here on out, that changes.
We figure out what were dealing with, and we deal with it.
We? I asked.
My fingers tightened into fists.
It was hard to believe, after everything Id done, the the might letlive he content is on novelenglish.net! Dane gently pinched my chin between his thumb and forefinger.
Fuck higher powers.
The only person who can tellI cant have you is you.
His eyes dropped to my lips, then met mine again.
So tell me, Aurora DeVere, can I finally make you mine Aucora DeVere Nan Nf m Nfinally make you mine?
