DANE.

How did the fucker get so close without anyone even realizing it?

Was there a traitor in this pack? I wasn’t certain if I preferred that answer or the answer that someone from the outside had been able to wander their way into the pack without us even realizing it.

Not only did they get close enough to Aria to attack her but was also in her bedroom.

What the fuck did they mean by everything, especially about another clue, which was a photograph of her?

My past and my present. The clue about my past included Sam. The one about my present was her.

Making wise choices seemed more like a threat than a piece of advice. Only cowards hid in the shadows. Maybe they should man up and face me. Fucking asshole.

“What are we going to do to keep Aria safe?” Finch asked, pulling me away from my inner rant.

I pulled my eyes away from the clues and looked at my men, two people who had been beside me through everything. They had seen me at my lowest but never made me feel less for being there. Th

Finch is on the case. At least now, Aria and Piper will be able to communicate.

  • Echoes of Hate   Chapter 37

    DANE.Sleep hadn’t come easy to me in a long while. Not since it tilted on its fucking axis. When my not-so-dead brother came back like a wrecking ball and destroyed the very foundation of everything that I’d once held as truth.Every time that I closed my eyes, I saw one of two things – either Sam’s cruel smirk as he stood in front of me on the battlefield or the look of utter devastation on Aria’s face when she opened up on the porch. The pain that I gave her. The way that I used our bond to shame her, which made her hate herself. How did I make up for it? Was it even possible?‘Enough wallowing with the what-ifs and the should’ve dones,’ Jericho snapped. ‘Enough lamenting. It’s time to show her a different you. The real you. The one behind your Alpha mask that you wear day in and day out. It’s time to give up some of your control and hand it over to her.’‘What is it that you suggest, oh wise one?’ I deadpanned.‘How about you start by talking to her about the kind of Luna that sh

  • Echoes of Hate   Chapter 36

    ARIA.The pack meeting last night went as well as could be expected.Shock, confusion, and wariness were the primary emotions being felt by our pack. All of it was tucked neatly inside of a wrapper of uncertainty. This was more than just the rogue attack that occurred. It was a targeted attack on the pack.Despite the uncertainty, determination swept over the crowd. No matter what the threat was, they’d stand firm and fight against it.“Please tell me what the surprise is,” Piper begged me. “I’ve waited and waited and waited.” She sighed dramatically, arms going in an arc.I could’ve told her that Jory was coming here, but I wanted it to be a surprise.“A little bit more patience,” I said, holding my fingers just inches apart. “I promise that it’ll be worth the wait.”She pouted when she realized that I wasn’t going to cave.‘Juan and your brother just got here. They’re in the dining room. Damn. Your brother looks like a beast,’ Finch mindlinked me.I thanked him and told him that we

    ARIA.“You can sheath your daggers, Sir Jory. It’s Alpha Dane of the Shadow Vale pack. As it turns out, he’s my fated mate. There are things that we’re working through, but I don’t plan on going anywhere. This is an amazing pack, one that I’m proud to be a part of. Plus, Piper has already made friends, and she just got here.”His eyes widened when he heard Alpha Dane’s name. I could understand why.Alpha Dane Holden was notorious. Bex was right that his reputation helped to protect the pack. Only idiots would try to go against him. That reputation was fought for and won.I remembered Bex sharing that he’d taken over as the Alpha shortly before the whole shit with Sam went down. Then his parents left not too long after that. I could understand the benefit of having a strong reputation like his.“Well, damn. I definitely didn’t expect that. I bet you’re a kickass Luna.”“I’m learning as I go and enjoy helping out. I don’t know about kickass though.”I blushed when he snorted and stuck m

    ARIA.I felt lighter than I had in a long time. There had been this tight band around my heart, constricting it ever since I was given the contract to sign. The expectations, pain, and lying weighed heavily upon my shoulders. It made me feel like I was drowning.Lying by omission was still lying. Pretending that everything was A-Okay when, in reality, I felt like slowly dying was still in a way lying.I’d honestly thought that Bex would’ve hated me if she ever figured out the truth about what was going on between Alpha Dane and me. She, however, just reminded me that she was here for me. Day or night, come rain or come shine.The same went for Adam and Finch. It was still very awkward to forgo using their titles. It did, however, make me feel like I was actually wanted here.It was a nice change of pace after the past five years.All three of them were easygoing. Adam was a sarcastic flirt but knew boundaries that he would never cross. He was able to bring a smile to your face without

    ANGELINA. I felt sparks along my arms but stepped away from Don, pinning him with a glare that I reserved for assholes and idiots. He was both of those things right now.I don’t understand how he could’ve acted this way to our son.First of all, accusing him of fabricating the account about Samuel. Yes, it was very hard to believe, but I knew that Dane wouldn’t have called us all of the way back here unless there had been a reason to do so. He sure as hell wouldn’t claim something like that unless there was even a shred of truth to it.Secondly, demanding to know why we weren’t informed of the fact that he found his Luna. Granted, I had the same brief thought but wasn’t about to voice that. We hadn’t gone out of our way to keep up with him. I should’ve told Don to take his hurt ego elsewhere and reached out to Dane myself after Don had horribly blown up on him over that tabloid incident. Yet, I didn’t.Goddess, how had I not realized how much damage we were doing to our boy?Dane had

  • Echoes of Hate   Chapter 32

    FINCH. I followed Aria at a distance when she left the office. I had an inkling of where she was heading, or should I say who she was heading, to see.There were two reasons for this. One, I didn’t want her to be alone. Two, because I didn’t trust Dane. Not after hearing about what he’d done. It was only a drop in the bucket. That was an understated certainty. I couldn’t remember a time when I didn’t trust Dane as my best friend or as my Alpha. That just went to show how fucked-up this entire situation was.I knew that he was hurting because of his father’s words – which, still shocked me by the way – and knew that he was unpredictable when he was hurting. I had no idea if he’d lash out at her, so I wasn’t taking any chances.Don’s words and accusation were really fucking harsh when he heard that Sam had attacked our pack. Don even accused Dane of making all of this shit up without even hearing his son out. I knew how hard it was for me to accept it when I first saw him, and that was
