Dancing in the Dark

Chapter 30. Impossible Part 2

So I think I shocked a lot of you guys with her brother coming back.

I'm just going to answer a few questions before we kick off a new chapter just to clear things up.

1) BM = Blood Moon, AB = Alpha Brent

2) Her brother is alive and yes that's him.

3) We still don't know about the whole dagger situation yet!

4) Yes, Tyler's father will still have a large part in this book.

Alrightayyy

Here we go.

QOTD : What state are you guys from??

Raven's POV***

No one spoke.

No one moved.

I couldn't even breathe, so I was holding it in.

My brother, Brent, couldn't be alive! I watched him die that day in the lake! I watched his eyes close! 

"No, my brother died." I replied, my eyes trained on his face. It was impossible. He couldn't be alive. Even if he was, why didn't he ever try and find me..?

"I thought I did too." He replied, standing up and walking down the small steps. He was now in front of me, and I couldn't help but take in his new manly features.

"Is it really you?" I whispered, still in shock.

"Yes Raven." He responded, looking very sure of himself.

"I'm sure you have a lot of questions piling up in that head of yours, so come with me to my chambers and we'll discuss them." He proposed, giving me that heart warming smile he used to always portray.

I nodded in silence, still shocked. A million questions were buzzing through my head.

He led me down the hallway, to the left and into an enormous office, book shelves standing up to the cieling.

"Wow.." I mumbeled. 

"Right?"

He came to a leather couch, where I sat down after him.

"Ok, let's start." He said wihle sitting.

"How are you here? I watched you die!" I shrieked.

He let out a laugh. "I'm glad you think this is so funny." I hissed.

"Raven, I never died. You thought we were all dead. Granted, mom and dad are gone . . . Anyway, I had no choice but to pretend I was dead. You wouldn't have gotten out if I hadn't."

"Wait . .  what?!" I replied. Not actually dead!?!

"If I continued to look alive, you would have struggled to get me out, and your lung capacity couldn't keep up. If you stayed to try and help me, you would have died no matter what. So I did what I had do."

"What about Kate? Where is she? Do you have any idea what I put her through because I thought you were dead?!" I spat.

His face grew grave and dangerous.

"Look at the pack I rule. Blood Moon. Home of brutality. Do you honestly think I want Kate to be subjected to this? She worked in a flower shop for God's sake Raven. She couldn't handle this." He replied, looking down at his feet.
