Chapter 7
Chapter 7 AURORA Dane had never kissed me before .
The only time we had sex , hed avoided it .noveldrama
Now his mouth descended on mine , hard and claiming and hot .
It was so good , I closed my eyes and lost myself .
Danes mouth , his possessive hands , his hard body … it was everything Id dreamed of .
Then his words came back to me .
You will always belong to me , but I will never love you .
I bit down and shoved with all my strength .
A wolfless woman shouldnt have been able to move an Alpha as big and strong and powerful as Dane Montague , but I bit him .
hard .
Ah ! he jumped away with a hand to his mouth , and I slipped out from between him and the wall .
I couldnt let him pin me like that again .
My breath shook .
For the first time in a long time , I was flustered .
Chapter 7 I felt like Ann Reed , and I hated it .
I wasnt her .
I was Aurora .
2/6 If you touch me again without my permission , I will kill you , I hissed .
His fingers came away bloody from his mouth .
Good .
Because my wrists were red where he grabbed them .
I rubbed them .
Ann .
Id almost think you grew fangs and found your wolf while you were gone .
I was o the room was dark so he couldnt see me blush in shame .
But the shame only made me angrier .
I wished I had found my wolf .
I wished I could rip that smirk right off his face .
Not fangs .
Just a spine .
And its Aurora .
If I didnt need this smug , arrogant man , Id ask Trajan to kill him .
Why did you come back here if not for my … his eyes traveled hungrily down my body … attention ? The heat in his eyes made fire lick at my core , but my voice was ice .
Five years and youre even less of a gentleman .
He stepped in close again .
You used to beg me not to be gentle , if it meant I would claim you .
I gritted my teeth , hating all these reminders of the past .
I told you who I am .
You know why Im here .
Chapter 7 3/6 His eyes flashed .
I know why Im meeting with the DeVeres .
I know what they claim to have .
Then- All of a sudden , music chimed into the tense space between us .
My phone ! I recognized the ringtone , and my stomach went cold .
I reached into my clutch and silenced it .
Whos that ? Your new lover ? Dane asked .
None of your business .
Id lost control of this situation .
I needed to escape before he could ask more .
I wrenched open the door and walked out .
Coming had been a mistake .
I should have met him in a more controlled situation .
And I hadnt expected my body to react to his this way .
I needed to find Trajan and leave .
But as I stepped back into the main room , someone else called my name .
Ann ! Oh , my ! Its been so long ! I thought you had forgotten all about me ! My heart softened as my gaze fell on the old man who came toward me .
Connall Montague .
Danes grandfather , and one of the only people from my old life who had truly loved me and shown me kindness .
Grandpa , I said , unable to help the smile that crossed my face .
Chapter 7 I went to him and kissed him on either cheek .
I could never forget you .
He took my hand and squeezed it tightly , like he was afraid I might disappear on him again .
4/6 His worries werent unfounded .
Because as Dane came to stand with us , I wanted to disappear more than anything .
Dane glared and said , She abandoned us .
Dont be kind to her .
The old man ignored him .
Come , tell me where youve been the last five years .
I want to hear everything .
I let him lead me up onto the balcony .
It was reserved for high ranking pack members and far less crowded than the area downstairs .
There isnt much to tell , I said helplessly .
Lie .
There was everything to tell .
So much had happened to me that I couldnt even wrap my brain around it .
It would have been nice to be able to speak to Mr.
Montague like I used to , open and honest .
But Dane lurked nearby , broad shouldered and brooding , so I kept my mouth shut .
Besides , I couldnt trust Mr.
Montague to keep my secrets from his grandson .
They were too big .
Too life shattering .
Mr.
Montague tutted at me .
Id forgotten his habit of doing that , Chapter 7 and the sound was so familiar it sharpened my bittersweet emotions .
5/6 Come , dear .
Five years dont pass with nothing happening at all .
Where have you been ? I … did spend some time in Europe , I admitted reluctantly .
In fact , I have a companion downstairs .
Of course , Mr.
Montague said .
Show him to me .
I pointed out Trajan and Mr.
Montague tutted again , but this time he turned to me with genuine worry in his eyes .
Is this your husband ? Mate ? Have you really moved on from Dane ? The pain in his eyes brought back a wave of the heartbreak Id felt when I left .
It hurt so much ; it was all I could do not to press my hand against my chest .
I think its fair to move on from someone who never loved me , I said quietly .
He does love you , Mr.
Montague grumped , his old face wrinkling in consternation .
Hes blinded by his anger .
I gave him three years to see again .
He couldnt .
Love didnt treat someone the way Dane had treated me , but I didnt say that out loud .
Knowing the things Dane had said to me would only hurt his grandfather , and I didnt want to do that .
Besides , Dane was openly listening , now .
Well , Ann , have you moved on ? he asked mockingly .
I ignored him , focusing on Mr.
Montague .
Trajan is just my Chapter 7 assistant and bodyguard , I said .
Hes- 6/6 From down below , near the doorway , a woman screamed , WHY IS SHE HERE ? Evelyn Barclay had arrived
