Chapter 164 AURORA I returned to the pack house as dawn was creeping over the woods , graying the sky .

I told Trajan I was all right .

We both knew I wasnt .

I went to my rooms .

The first thing I did was open the door and check on my children .

They were asleep , thank the goddess .

The sound of their soft breathing filled me with peace .

I went into the room just to touch their cheeks and breathe in their scents .

When everything else was wrong , being with them centered me like nothing else .

Nothing … except those few times I had been at peace with Dane .

I pushed him from my mind and closed their door softly , then padded to my own bedroom .

There was no way I was going to be able to sleep , not with Danes kiss still scorching my lips .

Not when I could feel the hot imprint of his hands on my body .
