Chapter 23 DANE Esther Reed rose from her chair .

Her smirk was gone .

Now she was enraged .

You cant do that ! Its done , I snarled .

This woman and her land are part of my pack until our business is finished .

Now , leave before I kill you .

As much as the Reeds growled and muttered , they had to do what I said .

If land was mine , or under my protection , they couldnt set foot on it .

Same with theirs .

According to the pact the Council had forced us to swear , we couldnt spill each others blood except in self defense .

If wolves from either pack especially the Alphas- trespassed , that was considered threat enough .

You have three minutes to get off this land , I said .

Fuming , the Broken Forest wolves made for the door .

Waylon led his wife out .

But before she left , Esther paused at the door .

Neither of you is as good or pure as you think you are .

Youre just as dirty and wicked as you claim the Reeds to be .

Watch yourselves , because one day Ill prove it .

***** 2/6 Chapter 23 AURORA The Reeds left , but I couldnt relax .

I kept staring at Danes blood .

It spattered the backs of my hands , crimson red .

The Blue Ridge wolves helped Trajan back to his bed .

Piper went out , herself , to find the children and Evander and tell them it was safe .

A shadow fell over me , and I looked up .
