Chapter 64: *“What have we done?!“*
“She never took it while Damien was here, because he would notice.” Alora said, her voice distant, as if she was lost in her memories. “Sarah never wan she ripped it off
my neck.
“That’s why you stopped wearing it?” Darien asked with surprise. “I thought it was because you were upset that Damien was gone and didn’t want to be reminded about that by wearing the necklace.”
Kain scoffed before admonishing Darien. “And to think, brain trust here is going to be the one to take care of our darling sister’s tender feelings.”
Galen shook his head. “That’s seriously what you thought?” he asked with disbelief. “When a female is missing someone, she is more likely to wear or ca
Darien grimaced. “I have a reason for thinking this way.”
“Really, do tell.” Kain said, giving him a hard look, one brow raised.
Next to Alora, Alpha Andrew was having a hard time containing his smile at the ribbing his son was receiving from his fated mate’s brothers. Alora glance
“Every morning Damien and I would meet up with Alora, he would touch the necklace and say, ‘Good morning, Starlight.‘ Then pat her on the head before we spent time chatting
“Huh…” Galen said.
“When you put it that way…” Kain started.
“It makes sense.” Galen completed.
“Hey, look at that, you’re not totally ignorant of a female’s softer emotions.” Kain teased.
Darien growled at them. “What did I do to you two?”
“You’re laying claim to our beloved little sister.” Galen said dryly.
“I have a question.” Kain said. “Why does Damien call Alora, Starlight?”
Alora blushed, it was an endearment Damien had been calling her since they first met. “It’s something Damien has always called Alora. I never knew wh
“Alora?” Kain asked.
Alora blushed harder. “It’s something really personal, I would rather not talk about it.” There was no way she was going to tell them why Damien called h
“What is your relationship with Damien?” Galen asked. “Because whatever it is, it’s different from the one you have with Darien.”
“Right! I was just wondering about that myself.” Kain said. “If I didn’t know better, I would say Damien was your mate.
Alora had a full body blush going now and wished for nothing more in that moment than for this conversation to end. Damien’s father, and their Pack Alp

“So, you’re still hoping for Alora to become your sister–in–law through mating?” Galen
asked.
“Yes.” Darien confirmed, then proceeded to explain his reasoning. “No one would treat her
better as a mate than my brother. He practically worships the ground she walks on. I really can’t imagine Damien with anyone else but Alora, and I never
Matt.”
Alora tried to make herself smaller by sinking further down into her seat, and prayed, ‘Please let this come to an end, please let this come to an end, please let
end‘. She didn’t even dare to look at the Alpha, or the sympathetic expression on his face. Alora was hoping, by making herself disappear further into her seat they would forget she was there, but she had no such luck. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“Does Sarah still have your necklace, Alora?” Kain asked.
Forced to face the fact that it was impossible for her to become one with her seat, Alora straightened back up in it before answering. “She does.”
“Why haven’t I seen her wear it?” Darien asked.
“That’s because she knows if she wears it out of the house, and you happen to see it, she would run afoul of questions she would not want asked.” Alora him.

What she didn’t mention was the times Sarah did wear the necklace. It would just upset Darien to know about them. Sarah liked to wear the necklace wh Sarah wore as she cut her her knives like a fresh kill.

Something must have shown on her face, or maybe there was something in her tone, but a grim air entered the vehicle. Alora looked around, her gaze la

While Alpha Andrew pulled into the drive, his protection detail, parked on the street. Two big black SUV’s that screamed security detail, parking in front of her parent’s house would definitely draw out all the curious neighbors. After turning off the SUV, they didn’t get out right Alpha Andrew sat there quietly and stared down at the steering wheel with a
dark look on his face.
Finally, he looked up and his gaze met Alora’s. “Do you want that necklace back?” he asked, his deep voice low.
Alora didn’t hesitate to give her answer. “Yes.” It did not matter that Sarah had worn it while torturing and tormenting her. All that mattered was that it was a gift from Damien, one she had cherished and still would after getting it back.
Alpha Andrew turned to look out the windshield and nodded. “Okay. I will get it back for you.”
Alora’s heart skipped a beat as hope blossomed in it, if anyone could make Sarah give her
back the necklace, it was the Alpha. Alora’s, “Thank you.” came out a little choked.
Alpha Andrew patted her on her head. “This is nothing you need to thank me for. You have been wronged, and as the Alpha it is my duty to make sure it’ it is my pleasure and privilege to be able to do at least this for you.”
Alora swallowed, her eyes burned with the tears she barely kept from falling. She didn’t know what to say to express her gratitude at what the Alpha said
Alpha Andrew hugged her back, and Darien reached forward and pet her back soothingly. “Hey, little sister, everything is going to be okay now. We’re he
Alora swallowed, and choked back a sob that wanted to escape, she nodded her head against Alpha Andrew’s chest. Alora didn’t trust herself to speak.
“Come on, let’s get this over with so we can get you home. Knowing Ember, she commandeered the Alpha Wing’s kitchen with Camille and Serenity and
Alora’s smile was small, but there as she nodded. “She’ll also be asking them question after question to find out as much about Serenity as she can whil
“Oh, Goddess, we left my mate with my mother!” Darien cried out dramatically, gripping his hair at his temples, his expression terrified. “What have we do
Alpha Andrew turned in his seat to look at Darien. “What is wrong with you?”
“I was born.” Darien answered dead panned. Then he was making shooing gestures.
“Come on! Come on! Get those furry butts in gear and let’s move already!”
Instead of moving as he demanded, everyone looked at Darien like he had grown a second, and maybe a third, head. Darien looked back at each of them in turn.
Looking confused and frustrated, Darien asked. “What?!” Frowning, he looked at them all again. “Why are you all not moving?! I want to get back before questions and meddling ways, sending her running for
the hills!”
