NovelEndChapter 189 Damian tries to pass him a bag of food. Soren shakes his head but plucks a bottle of water from Damian when offered. Damian shrugs, biting into his sausage roll while starting the car. I remain silent, twisting the bottle cap of my Coke when my nagging curiosity gets the better of me.
"Are you takingto the council?" I ask Soren, and I see Damian's eyes flit toin the rearview mirror. He doesn't say anything, and my eyes move to Soren. His jaw clenches, but he refuses to look at me.
"I should. If you were anyone else, I would hand you over," he says, and my lip quivers.

"Rhett marked me," I blurt like an idiot.
"I'm aware. I'll handle that once we are home." "You're takinghome?" I ask him.
"Yes, home, Aubrey. Now, stop with the questions. Eat, and try to sleep. You'll need your strength once home." This time, Damian looks at him nervously. "What's happening once we are home?" I ask, unable to keep the tremble from my voice.
"I'll be marking and changing you." he answers flatly and I know I won't be getting a choice in the matter so I say nothing 0.001 Chapter 189 and only nod.
****** 11781 Wouchers Soren I watch Aubrey from the corner of my eye in the rearview mirror as we drive in tense silence. The streetlights cast fleeting shadows across her face, illuminating the worry etched in her furrowed brow. Damian and I have switched places so he can have a break from driving. My hands grip the steering wheel tighter, knuckles white with the strain of holding back the storm of emotions threatening to burst forth.
Relief floods throughat having her back, safe and sound. But it mingles with a bitter undercurrent of betrayal that leaves a sour taste in my mouth. The lies, the secrets - how deep do they run? Was it all a lie? Were we a lie? Those are the things that play on my mind. My only relief is her compliance right now, she hasn't tried to fight us, or run since finding her, she also has not commented on my words at the gas station about changing her.
Glancing over at Damian he has fallen asleep in the passenger seat, I test the mindlink subtly double checking he is actually asleep. He stirs but doesn't open it so I know he is asleep. Though his senses are unparalleled so he'll probably wake from our voices but he knows not to intervene with anything regarding Bree. I mean Aubrey, that will take sgetting used to but her real nsuits her better.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTurning onto the final stretch, I peer at Aubrey, her head is against the window, eyes staring vacantly. I've ignored her most of the trip not wanting to say something I can't take Chapter 189 11 back. But I am best off asking while I'm driving, while my hands are occupied because I feel like breaking something and I don't trust my temper right now.
"Aubrey," I begin, my voice hoarse as I speak her real name, she lifts her head from the window and sits up straighter. I need to know-" I don't know where I am going with my words, I pause suddenly afraid of her answer. What if everything was a lie? She turns to me, eyes glistening. "Were you ever going to tell me?” I ask, keeping my gaze on the road. Still, I don't miss Damian stirring at the sound of my voice but he pretends to be asleep, not wanting to interrupt.
"Soren, I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you." Her words slice throughlike shards of glass want m desperately to believe her, to trust in the connection we've forged. But doubt gnaws at me, insidious and relentless.
"That's not what I asked. I know you're sorry, whether that is because you've been caught or fear the m repercussion's I don't care," I state, glancing in the mirror. "Sorry won't change that you lied and it won't change what happens next." she turns. her gaze back to the window. Chapter 190
