FULL DRAMA NOVELS Chapter 109
Chapter 109 DANE Evelyn ! I saw her get swept away .
I lunged and snapped , trying to catch her by the scruff of her neck .
But she was too far , and she disappeared beneath the water of the stream .
I ran after her , doing my best not to get my feet swept out from under me , too .
That wouldnt help anyone .
She was pushed almost a quarter of a mile downstream , to a flatter place where the banks were low again , before I saw a figure reach into the water and haul her out .
I snarled and pushed harder , ready to defend her from whoever it was .
I hoped , maybe , it was one of the strange wolf women whod led us here .
I found Evelyn on the bank , braced over her rescuer .
The rescuer was on their back beneath her .
I heard Evelyn snarl … Then I came around her and saw the soaked banner of pale blond hair , the pale skin , and the wide , lilac eyes .
Aurora ! I shifted into a man , pushed Evelyn to the side , and then she was Chapter 109 in my arms .
I crouched and cradled her against me , trying to hide the way my whole body shook .
2/5 Youre here .
Thank the goddess .
They didnt lie .
Youre here , I whispered .
Dane , she whispered .
Her face was wel .
From tears or from the stream .
I had no idea .
Water droplets smacked me in the face .
I looked up .
Evelyn had trotted a few steps away then shook water all over us .
She gave me a glare .
Call for me when this touching reunion is over .
It wont go far .
Then she disappeared through the trees .
For a moment , I looked after her in shock .
A week ago , she would have stayed glued to my side instead of giving me a single second alone with Aurora .
Id spent years thinking I knew Evelyn .
Lately , I wondered if I did at all .
If she had ever allowed me to truly know her .
Then Auroras soft hand was against my cheek , and every thought of Evelyn fled from my mind .
Dane , Aurora whispered .
Her eyes were red and swollen .
So , she had been crying .
Hard , from the looks of it .
It was no wonder .
The twins were still missing , and shed been taken , too .
I brushed my thumb along her cheek .
Are you hurt? Chapter 109 3/5 She shook her head .
It looked like she was fighting herself over what to say .
Finally , she said in a rush , I escaped him .
He doesnt know .
He has so many wolves , Dane .
And something .
else .
A witch or some other kind of strange spell caster .
We have to get out of here before he comes looking .
I growled .
We can leave .
Right after I kill him .
No ! she forced me to look at her .
There are too many .
Another time .
Please .
I just want to go home .
She took a shaking breath , and her eyes filled with a hope it broke my heart to see .
Have you found Seraphina and Tristan ? I lowered my eyes and shook my head .
Not yet .
She swallowed .
If the Reeds do have them , we might know soon .
She reached into her pocket and pulled out her book .
I was able to read this while he had me .
Dane , we have to get back .
The timing … the ceremonies we need to do to find the other two chosen , they have to be performed on a full moon .
The relic has to be retrieved on a new moon .
The sky was hidden in this thick valley forest , but I glanced up anyway .
The moon was barely a hint of silver that showed through a thin place in the canopy .
The full moon is tomorrow night .
She nodded .
And if I know my grandmother , her ultimatum stands .
Shell want all of this done this month , or shell force me to go home .
Chapter 109 All right .
Well make it .
4/5 But I cant shift , she said with tears in her eyes .
How can we get there ? Ill slow us down .
Well make it , I insisted .
Weve come too far and given up too .
much to fail now .
She stroked my face .
I have to believe you .
Being with you again makes it feel like the last few days have just been a dream .
But I have to- She tried to say something else , but only a strangled sound came out .
She cursed and tried to speak again .
The same thing happened .
Alarm bells went off in my head .
Stop .
Dont speak .
Whatever it is , you can tell me when youve regained your strength .
She panted and shook her head .
I cant- She made strangled sounds again .
Tears fell down her face faster and faster .
Its okay , I said .
I pulled her close to me again and kissed the tears from her cheeks .
We found each other .
Well get out of here .
Coleridge will never touch you again .
I wiped tears from her cheeks with my thumbs .
Youre mine .
Not his .
No matter what hes done , nothing can change that .
For some reason , that made her cry harder .
Chapter 109 5/5 Then , in the distance , I heard howling and the sounds of a hunt .
Evelyn ran back into the clearing .
Youre going to have to cut this short , she said .
The Fall Line wolves are out there , and theyre hunting us .
