Chapter 89 Shadows Of Truth

• DRAKE
• “It’s because Lidia told your mother that she saw you and Drake as fated mates when she held you for the first time,” Natty began, his voice soft but firm, as if he had been carrying this truth for years. “Marcus was there too, and at first, everyone seemed thrilled that Drake would someday mate with a she-wolf from such a strong bloodline. But then the incident with the Blood Oath happened a few years later—and everything changed.”
• Throughout Natty’s explanation, Briana kept her eyes locked on me. I could see the questions, the pain, and the disbelief swirling behind them. It suddenly became clear that whatever happened during the Blood Oath incident was the root of all our suffering.
