Chapter 200 Audrey

Edwin whirled around, his eyes widening as he saw Peter and me standing in the doorway. Without hesitation, I ran to him, throwing my arms around his waist. He held me tight, confusion radiating through our

bond.

"Audrey? What are you doing here?"

I looked up at him, my eyes shimmering with tears. Through our mate bond, I showed him what had happened leading up to my coming here: my conversation with Peter, my impassioned plea, our final decision to come to his aid.

"We can't let Edwin always take the fall," I had said to Peter. "In fact, as Crescent's future Luna, I command you to take me to him. Now."

Peter had jumped into action at those words, sketching a mock bow. "As you wish, my Luna."

I had hit him on the shoulder, hard, and he'd laughed. And for the first time in days, F'd cracked a smile, too.

Understanding dawned in Edwin's eyes as I showed him all of this, and he looked over at Peter, who nodded solemnly.

"What is the meaning of this?" Erik scoffed. "Peter, you can't seriously be-"

"No, Dad. You can't be serious," Peter interrupted his father. Erik's eyebrows shot up.

"I'm tired of sitting idly by and watching my big brother be treated like**t," Peter continued. "All his life, Edwin has taken the fall for me, for all of us-even when it resulted in being beaten and assumed to be a horrible child. Edwin protected his siblings, and you were a fool for not seeing that."

Erik's face slowly began to contort with rage, but Peter continued before he could speak. "If you give the pack to Axel and imprison Audrey, there will be war. She is Silverbite's heir and she is the Silver Star, but she is so much more than that."

Peter turned to me then, placing one hand over his heart. "And I will stand behind her. So will Edwin. And many, many others who love her."

"This is ridiculous," Erik spat, his eyes darting between the three of us. "This girl is a child who can't even shift. Come now, Peter. Control your lust and pull your head out of your a**. No one cares about her, and neither should you."
