Chapter 128 AURORA I went stiff in Danes arms, but he wasnt having it.
Look at me.
He tilted my face up to his .
Ive got you.
I will never ask you to be withif you dont want to .
But if you do....
you choose.
You choose.
Danes words echoed through my soul, givingfreedom.
Holdens magic was trying to close overagain, I could feel it .
And I could still feel the commands in place that preventedfrom speaking to Dane or anyone else about being bonded to Holden.
But for this moment, without knowing it, Dane seemed to have loosened my tormentors hold onand givenmy choice back.
I didnt think it would last, and I didnt understand how he had done it.
Maybe he was just a stronger Alpha.
Maybe this was part of the gift the goddess had given him.
Or maybe theres more.
A deeper connection.
Something that binds you to him beyond magic, beyond time, beyond suffering... Chapter 128 2/5 The thought ctoout of nowhere.
I brushed it aside.
If I examined it too closely... There was shope that was too painful to hold on to, even for me.
But there was a problem.
Because even with my freedom, I couldnt be with Dane.
I was still under Holdens control, and there were still the shadows.
So, even though I could choose, even though in this moment, I was free, I had to do the hardest thing I had ever done.
I put my hands on either side of Danes face, and I kissed him slowly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis fingers tightened on my hips once again .
His lips were soft against mine.
Seeking.
Soothing.
Goddess, I wanted nothing more than for him to taketo his bed and laydown and heal everything broken insidewith those lips.
With his unbreakable strength and his iron will and the gentleness that madeache in places I thought for so long would never ache again.
But he hadnt just somehow giventhe freedom to say yes to him, hed somehow also giventhe freedom to say no.
I held back the tears as I pulled back from him.
I hated breaking the contact between our lips.
I hated every iota of space between us as I leaned away and looked up at him through my I hated the breath I inhaled as I said, I want you, Dane.
But I lashes.
cant take this risk.
We cant do this.
Chapter 128 3/5 His eyes flashed gold.
The wolf, waiting and dangerous.
Cant we? You said the choice was mine.
I didnt expect you to choose something you didnt want .
I want you safe .
I want our children back.
Those are the only things that matter.
No.
This matters.
We matter.
I know you feel it to.
Its like Im half fucking empty when Im without you.
I looked away.
I did feel it, but it wouldnt help either of us to admit that.
I gathered every bit of willpower I had and forced myself to step away from him.
I looked around, almost surprised to remember we were still in the infirmary.
I still stood next to Evanders bed, and he still slept his deep, healing sleep.
There has to be distance, I said.
Until we get everything figured out.
Danes fists clenched, but I knew my Alpha .
He would be true to his word, no matter how angry he was about it.
This is wrong, he said.
How can I protect you if youre so damn worried about protecting me? I couldnt even speak, so I just shook my head.
Fine, he growled.
I believe you dont know what happened Chapter 128 with Coleridge.
If something did happen, I believe it was 4/5 because of him .
He met my gaze.
I still trust you, Aurora.
Even if I seem to have every reason in this world not to.
Then he muttered, You, or any other woman.
Other woman? I asked.
It was Danes turn to shake his head.
You were trying to tellsomething earlier.
What was it.
I gasped as I remembered Evanders warning before he fell unconscious.
The Reeds have the twins.
Evander said so.
He tried to say more, but he was dying.
Dane glanced at Evanders unconscious form.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYou saved him.
I... think so.
13 And your magic woke Piper up.
I dont know, Dane.
It jumped on its own.
I cant guarantee that wasand not ... something else.
It was you.
Despite what happened to my grandfather.
Why did he die, and Evander and Piper live? Something maderaise my hand to my throat, to the pearl pendant that had always been with my strange book. I hadnt been wearing it when my powers sapped Connall.
But I had been wearing it today.
Id always felt drawn to it.
Chapter 128 Was it the reason? Did it do something to ... purify my magic? 5/5 Dane shook his head; as if he wasnt really expecting an answer from me. The Reeds have our children.
The new moon is coming.
If they want to use their blood my blood we know where theyll be.
Where the relic is, I said.
Yes.
Where the relic is.
Which means Im going to spend the twe have left making sure that no single Reed walks out of that ravine alive. That startled me.
But the Council ... their ruling on bloodshed.
Danes eyes were cold as ice.
I dont care anymore.
They started this.
Im going to end it.
Let there be war.
