Chapter 133 1/6 DANE I sud nly wasnt sure if I was holding a woman in my arms, or a tbomb.
She was supposed to kill me? I asked.
You just heardsay shes someone elses fated mate, Esther said.
Do you think wed tie her to you if we werent certain you were going to die? But by the tit was supposed to happen, she had forgotten everything.
... Dane... I felt Aurora stir in my arms.
I looked down at her.
She was supposed to kill him ... she was thirsty to spill your blood.
Her lilac eyes were wide.
When I assumed her abusive childhood meant she wasnt on the Reeds side, was I wrong ? But theyd said she lost her memory.
Could she have known? Would she have letbelieve she ctoas an innocent if she had known this entire tshe hadnt ? Chapter 133 2/6 What happened to you? I asked, my voice pitched low an that only she could hear.
Theres a being bound to this stone.
A guardian who has watched over the relic for a thousand years.
The only way we can get to the relic is if we set it free.
She touched her forehand, Its, e to me.
Despite everything that was raging through me, I set her carefully on her feet.
A guardian? Him.
Esther said.
She let out a cackling laugh.
Hes waited so long to meet you, Ann.
Aurora saw the Broken Forest wolves waiting and straightened her spine.
She took two steps and would have marched right over to Esther if I hadnt grabbed her wrist.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe tugged, but I refused to let go.
Giveback my children, you bitch! I know you have them.
We got Evander, and your little message.
Just so you know, he lived.
For sreason, Esther and Waylon exchanged a worried look.
Aurora caught it, too, because she said quietly, Oh, I see.
That wasnt in your plan, was it? Why not? Instead of answering, Waylon pulled back .
Its tfor the ceremony.
Youre wasting time.
Chapter 133 AURORA 3/6 I tugged against Danes hold again.
His big, hand covered my wrist, and he was too strong.
There wont be a ceremony until you return my children! My e rose to a near shriek.
I prided myself on the cool, collected woman Id become, but seeing, the Reeds here without Seraphina or Tristan finally bectoo much.
It had been weeks.
Dane tuggedback against him, holdingagainst his warm strength and whispering comfort in my car.
I could feel my control slipping through my fingers.
I felt like my mind was about to break.
Produce the children or were leaving, Dane said .
Despite everything, including the fact that he now knew what I had been raised and sent to him to do, he didnt let go of me.
Id half expected him to shoveback at the Reeds and walk away. Instead, it was like I could feel his will to protectgrowing stronger.
You think you can leave? Waylon growled.
He was a skinny old man, now.
Nothing like the strong Alpha hed been when he was younger.
But there was still something hard about him.
Something, with teeth that made him frightening.
You have to know we cher with more warriors than this.
He gestured to the snarling, pack behind him.
When he smiled, Chapter 133 4/6 the darkness that gathered in the hollows of his eyes and cheeks made him look like a grinning skull.
You are surrounded, Montague.
Youre not going anywhere.
We have the mother, the father, and the pups, Esther said .
Blue Ridge cabout when your grandfather stole from ust and nt his own way.
You were never anything more than a bastard child of Broken Forest.
Tonight, we get rid of you and merge our families back together.
You think you can kill me? Dane asked.
Waylon grinned.
I know I can.
Fear curled throughlike smoke.
Somehow, in the middle of all this, I could somehow sense the guardian His energy was all around.
I could feel it.
It was nothing like the cooling water of the healing powers the goddess had given me.
Instead, it was warm and choking, like having a throat full of smoke and somehow knowing that breathing it in meant you could control the fire.
You can have him if you want.
You can have everything.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe guardians offer.
And somehow, even though I didnt know who he was, I could sense his power.
It grew from this place like a massive tree with its roots buried deep in the earth .
But I didnt want Dane to lovebecause I controlled him.
Would you like your enemies, too? Chapter 133 Yes.
I wanted control over them.
Could I have that without turning Dane into whatever hed been in my vision ?5/61 dan even give you your wolf back. All you have to do is choose me.
Gods, I wanted my wolf.
What do you say? He had offered.
I hadnt answered.
Think about it, he had whispered . You have until I am free.
Then you must choose.
I shivered at the thought of letting him free, with his magic like acrid smoke.
But if this was what finally set us free from the Reeds ... I didnt have tto ~ I make a choice, because Waylon ET raised his hands. If they wont do the ceremony, well make them.
Broken Forest, attack! Dane shovedinto Evelyns arms.
His eyes were shadowed, and we both looked at him in surprise.
Youre supposed to guard her, arent you? he said to my worst enemy.
Evelyn, you asked forto think about what you said.
I thought about it.
Get Aurora to safety, and I swear I will never act against you.
I tried to break free and get back to Dane, but Broken Forest was aff Chapter 133 coming, and Evelyns fingers were like iron on my shoulders. 6/6 She held on but didnt try to move.
Alpha, wail.
Running away is not the answer.
