Chapter 64 AURORA Shortly after Dane left , the twins came .

I spent an hour with them and my own pack members , so happy to be alive and to see them .

Then the healers came and said Dane had ordered that I be moved to a different room .

It wasnt in my suite with my pack members .

I protested , but they said it was temporary , so the healers could visit me more easily until I recovered and so I could rest without too much interruption .

Hopefully in a day or two I could return to my normal room .

So , I went .

The room was nice .

It had a window that looked out over the forest , and the afternoon sun spilled in , warming it .

I wasnt expecting Dane to slip inside .

Half asleep as I was , I didnt even know he was there until he shifted , and the chair by the bed creaked beneath his weight .

I sat up , and immediately I was dizzy .

I leaned against the headboard .

Dane ! He watched me with a serious expression .

My beta thinks youre going to betray me to Holden and Fall Line .

He said I shouldnt trust you .

Chapter 64 2/6 Fear quickened my heart .

Did Archer somehow know about the conversation Id had with Holden ? How could that be ? I have no plans to betray you , I said truthfully .

Then I waited , watching .

Because in all the years Id known him , Dane had never believed me .

But slowly , he nodded .

Im going to trust you .

I think , after all these years , you deserve it .

That made me feel sick all over again , because I didnt .
