Chapter 168 AURORA The air outside was thick as if the forest were holding its breath.
I stood at the edge of the clearing, staring into the dense thicket of trees.
I had cout to get sfresh air and hopefully clear my mind.
The darkness stretched out like fingers beckoninginto it.
I hadnt gone through these forest paths before, but I had done so in the dream.
Luna? Evelyns voice cut through the fogginess in my head.
I turned and watched her approachpurposefully as her gold hair shone in the dim light of the moon.
I had summoned her before I cout.
Shes wearing light battle armor, she also has a sword strapped behind her back, its hilt shining in the dim light.
We need to talk, I softly yet resolutely told her.
Walk with me.
I faced my front and walked in the woods.
Evelyn sighed a bit, but settled into stride besidethrough the woods, the rustle of the dry leaves accompanying us disturbing the silence that hung outside, an owls periodic hoot breaking into our walk.
Ive been having the dreams again, I said after a moment.
Chapter 168 2/6 Evelyns face didnt change but I could feel the slight stiffening of her shoulders.
The ones with the silver figure ? I nodded in response.
Its no longer just a figure.
It has becsomething... more.
It guides• It calls to me.
And each time, I find myself drawing closer.
Evelyn gavea sidelong glance.
You think its the goddess? I dont know, I said, my voice catching as my fingers brushed the pearl pendant lying at my throat.
Its magic hummed softly, a constant reminder of what I was capable of, and what Id already paid.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut theres something more.
Something that showed itself toin the dream last night.
We stopped beside a shallow stream, the water in it glittering in the moonlight.
I knelt at the edge and let my fingers dance on the cold water.
I saw Dane, I whispered.
I scooped sof the water into my hand and then I let it drop out, through my fingers.
Evelyn inhaled sharply, it was so fast, I nearly missed it.
I stood up to my feet slowly as I turned to her.
She kept her lips pursed and had her gaze focused across the horizon, her expression was blank, but it felt like I could tell what was going on in her mind.
Chapter 168 3/6 I swallowed as I went ahead to explain myself.
He wasnt like he is now, I blurted out.
He was ...
whole.
And the figure, the silver light... it touched him.
It didnt feel like a memory.
It felt like a message.
Evelyn knelt and touched the water, she hissed, I guess because of the cold temperature .
Her expression was impossible to read.
What kind of message ? she asked.
I think its trying to showthat theres still something left of him, I said, my voice shaking slightly.
Something worth saving.
Neither of us said a word for a moment.
The gentle murmur of the stream took the place of conversation between us, its soft bubble curiously was calming.
I need your help, I finally said, locking my eyes with hers.
Evander has pinpointed the location of the Namelesss lair.
Im heading there.
Evelyns eyes went round with shock as she surged to her feet.
Aurora, you cant be serious.
That place is going to be filled with shadow creatures.
You just cant walk in there all alone; you wont be able to walk out.
I wont be, I said, getting up, too.
She must have caught on because a streak of comprehension lit Chapter 168 4/6 within her gaze, and her arms crossed.
You wantto go with you.
Youre the best fighter I have, I said bluntly.
And I trust you.
More than anyone else.
Evelyns face gentled, though her voice didnt.
What about Trajan ? Or Evander ? You know they would never let you do this.
If I tell them, theyll only try to stopand thatll waste the twe take in arguments.
We cant waste any time.
Not now, not when it involves Danes life, and the protection of the entire pack depends on this .
Evelyn hesitated a moment, jaw clenching as my words sank deep.
Please, I begged, my voice dropping to a low whisper.
If there is even the slightest possibility of his return, I have to try.
And I just cant do it without you.
Long after what seemed like an eternity, Evelyn blew out a heavy sigh and ran her fingers through her hair.
Youre reckless, you know that? I gave her a faint smile in return.
So Ive been told.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlright, she finally said, Im in.
But if this goes sideways, Im dragging your ass out of there, whether you like it or not.
Fair enough, I replied.
Chapter 168 5/6 As we started on our way back to the pack house, our footsteps.
were quiet and deliberate.
Already, the plan was coming into play in my mind, every every little detail falling into place like the pieces of a ET.
puzzle. Luna, Evelyn said out of the blue, her tone laced with caution.
I turned to face her.
Yes? Youve been through so much for Dane, she went on.
I get it, really I do.
But arent you scared that with all this , you might just be losing yourself in the process ?/The question tookaback; and for what felt like a moment, I was stunned. I dont know, I said finally.
But if saving him means losing myself ... I believe thats a price Im prepared to pay.
Evelyn didnt say a word, but the expression in her eyes spoke volumes about her doubt.
As we reached the edge of the forest , the pack house loomed in the m I distance, a sanctuary I felt a little deserving of. La Rest, I said to Evelyn.
Well leave at the first light of dawn.
She nodded and turned for her quarters, but I didnt budge, looking up at the sky.
Chapter 168 6/6 The moon hung low and heavy, its light casting long shadows across the ground.
I touched the pearl pendant once more, its cool surface soothing me.
Whatever was coming.
Dane, the Nameless, the darkness, I would meet it ... and I would win .
Even though my heart faltered at the thought of winning, I still had to give it a try ... I have to make sure I win.
I had no other choice ... for him ... for us ... for the kids.
