Chapter 170 1/6 AURORA Evelyn and I made it to the pack house and a chill breeze crossed the air .

Dane was everywhere in my mind .

His voice echoed in my head , the look in his eyes seemed to be tattooed at the back of my mind .

I could almost see him standing in the shadows bracing himself against them so that we could leave .

He let us leave free .

Id seen something in his eyes , a fracture in the darkness , a glimmer of the man Id once loved .

The man I loved touching , feeling , hugging , kissing .

That was enough to make me sure that I hadnt been wrong about him .

Go , get some rest , Evelyn said as we stepped into the hallway .

There was a clip in her tone , but the exhaustion in her eyes softened her words .

I nodded , though I knew very well that I was not going to sleep .

While Evelyn walked to her room , my feet began moving automatically toward the little sitting room where comfort could be found during down times .

The fire had burned down to glowing embers , and the room was Chapter 170 in shadow , I sank into the armchair by the fireplace , my eyes .

fixed on the red glowing coals .

I didnt have much time to sit in silence .

A knock at the door caught me off guard .

Come in , I called , adjusting my position in the chair .

The door creaked open and Trajan stood in the doorway .

His face was somber , his dark eyes full of unspoken questions .

You left , he said , an edge of anger chafing at his words .

I let out a resigned sigh .

I couldnt wait .

His lips were pursed as he walked closer .

Evelyn told me what happened .

You went into the lair alone , Aurora .

Do you know how dangerous that was ? I wasnt alone , I said , trying to keep my cool .

Thats not the point , he snapped , clearly irritated .
