Auren POV

"Well, he hid her in a remote location" Maris shrugged. "But I had heard of the conversation. Josh knew where Bram had put her up. I asked him to help me and he helped. He recorded Sable's video that night when she was revealing her plans to her companions. He sent me the video and I sent it to you all" She bit her bottom lip. "I did it to save my relationship? "But you said that you are with Josh!" I growled. "Stop lying!"

"I wasn't with Josh at that time," she protested. "I was with Bram and wanted to save my relationship with him. He was hell bent on getting you back. What do you expect from me? I had spent a good number of years with him, did everything he wanted, and yet what did he do? He went to the High Council and tried to claim you? Do you realize the kind of stress I was in? I could have lost everything-my position, my prestige and my place in my family. I was fucking desperate!"

She let out a cry and Josh embraced her in his arms. "Hush..."

I looked at Lucien with confusion, irritation, guilt and a number of other emotions. He narrowed his gaze on her.

Maris shook her head. "He didn't listen to me, so I did what I had to. I got that video and sent it to all the Council members and also to you all. Basically to everyone I could get hold of using an unknown number."

At her words, I let out a rough exhale. She practically saved me from Bram but in doing so she actually saved her relationship with Bram. The revelation was like a punch in my guts. I didn't know whether to be happy or sad. "It was you who sent that video?"

"Yes," she nodded. "I saved you from him that time."

"Stop saying like you are the victim here," Lucien snapped. "You saved yourself as well."
