Chapter 29 AURORA Dane helped me out of the cave .

He stayed near me as we walked out .

Like he cared for me .

Because he did care for me .

He wanted me .

But at Esthers words , his entire body went as rigid as stone .

What are you talking about ? I snapped at Esther .

Ive only spoken to you once in the last five years , and that was when you invaded my home earlier tonight .

Esther flinched away like she thought Id hit her .

Dont hurt me ! I know youve always wanted Dane for your own , but what youve done tonight is too far ! You made us spill Blue Ridge blood ! Now the Council will kill us ! I felt like Id swallowed a dozen heavy stones .

What was she doing ? There was no way Id let her frame me for this .

Carefully , calmly , I turned to Dane .

Shes lying .

I dont know why .

Im not , Esther said .

Her voice took on a sly tone .

Check my pocket .

I recorded the last conversation we had on the phone setting this all up .

Dane looked at me , and I shrugged .

It didnt happen .

I dont care if you check .
