I Rejected My Obsessive Werebeast novel Chapter 69

Aurora’s POV

I didn’t go straight home after leaving the old bookstore.

I found a bench on the side of the street and sat down. Watched the traffic pass, and let my thoughts settle into something manageable. Then I got up and walked back.

When I opened the door, Silas was on the couch, scrolling through his phone. He looked up at the sound, and came to me. “How did it go?”

I changed into my slippers and sat down next to him. Took off my jacket, folded it, and set it on the arm of the couch. Then I told him everything.

Phoebe’s interference inside the arena. The deal Lucien offered Connor protection in exchange for service. The promise of a hundred werebeasts for freedom.

I finished and turned to look at him. “He’s been doing what Lucien asked. But he says he doesn’t know where those werebeasts ended up.”

Silas was quiet for a few seconds. “Do you believe him?”

\“Half.” I paused. “But what he told me today lines up with what Freya

mentioned.”

“Ok, if Connor’s line is still usable, maybe we can get more details from him about how Lucien operates. Who he hands the werebeasts off to. Where. Whether there’s a pattern to the timing.”

I nodded. “That’s where I was heading too. If Connor’s willing to

cooperate, I can keep in touch through the email. Pull information regularly.”

“But if Lucien finds out Connor is passing messages out

My fingers stopped against my knee. “I know. So I’ll only ask him the questions that won’t expose him.”

Silas looked at me for a moment. Then he said, “If you think it’s necessary – do you want to ask Kane for help? His foundation has experience with werebeast rescue at the arena. And he knows more people than we do. He might be able to get information about the underground operations.”

I thought about it. “I want to wait for Connor’s first reply. Confirm he’s willing to cooperate.”

That night, a new email appeared in my inbox.

The sender address was unfamiliar. The body was a single line:

Next handoff is Wednesday at 11 PM. Location: west side loading dock of the arena. A car will come to pick up.

No signature. No greeting. But the way it was written that was Connor.

I screenshotted the email. Saved it. Closed the laptop and walked out to the living room.

Silas looked up when I came in. I told him what the email said.

“What’s the plan?”

“I want to go Wednesday night. Take a look. Confirm the vehicle and the people involved.”

“I’ve got training until nine–thirty. I can leave early.”
