Chapter 135
Chapter 135 AURORA Even wolfless , with Evelyn holding my shoulders and Dane standing in front of me like a bodyguard , nothing could stop me from breaking free and running to my children .
I tore from Evelyns grip .
It hurt .
I was sure Id have bruises on my pale skin later .
Seraphina ! Tristan ! I sprinted forward .
Dane tried to grab for me , but even though he was lightning fast , I dodged him .
A big , gray wolf ran to me , but instead of trying to stop me , it ran by my side .
Trajan .
The Broken Forest wolves parted , and a petite figure came forward with my kids .
My foster sister , Selene .
She held each of them by one shoulder and looked like she felt so guilty .
Theres here , Aurora .
I couldnt stand to keep them away from you any longer .
Damn it ! Selene , you were supposed to wait ! Waylon shouted .
Before I could cross the distance and reach the twins did they look okay ? Did they look bruised ? From here it was so hard to tell .
It didnt help that tears filled my eyes and blurred everything Waylon crossed the distance and grabbed each of Chapter 135 the twins away from Selene .
No ! I cried .
2/5 Broken Forest wolves jumped in front of me .
Trajan attacked , tearing into them .
Get back ! Waylon shouted .
He was in his lycan form , and he held his fingers to Tristans throat .
My little boy lifted his chin .
His eyes were wide and terrified , but he was being so brave .
Call off your attack dog ! Waylon shouted .
Trajan ! I shouted desperately .
Another lycan appeared at my side .
Trajan was caught in a fight to the death with the two wolves , but Dane in his massive lycan body moved past me and grabbed Trajan by the scruff , yanking him back .
At the same time , he shoved the other two wolves , sending them flying back toward Broken Forest .
Dane shook Trajan , then dropped him .
If you ever do anything to endanger my children again , Ill fucking kill you .
I wanted to protest that Trajan had only been protecting me , but my attention was completely caught by Waylon and the children .
Silence fell between the two sides .
As long as he had them , Dane wouldnt let Blue Ridge move .
Chapter 135 3/5 All right .
Lets restore order , here , shall we ? Waylon drawled .
Were wasting time .
Ann , I believe you have a ceremony to get everyone in position for .
Alpha Montague … his voice turned threatening , and he gave Tristan a little shake .
I believe you were about to back the fuck up .
Ow ! Tristan said .
He glared up at Waylon .
Growling , Dane took a single step back .
I tried to breathe and think and glanced up at the sky .
He was right .
The moon was almost in position .
The ceremony needed to begin .
In less than an hour , wed have the relic .
If we were truly surrounded , we might be forced to give it to Broken Forest .
But maybe not .
Because there was still the guardian and his powers .
Once he was free , if I chose him , he might fight for us .
Hed called me his mate , but that had to be a mistake .
Besides , I was bound to Holden .
There was nothing he could do to me that hadnt already been done .
All right .
Ill set up the ceremony .
Just keep my children where I can see them , I said .
I turned and went to get my supplies .
Bags of chalk to draw lines .
Torches .
Mirrors .
Chapter 135 What do you need from me? Dane asked .
4/5 I paused and looked at him .
Id imagined this night so many times .
It was supposed to mean so much .
Originally , all Id wanted was to guarantee my position as Luna heir of the High Alpe Pack .
I had hoped it might bring my wolf back .
I had wanted to help bring magic back to the world .
Later , once the attacks started , Id only wanted safety and an end to the shadows .
No more monsters .
No more danger for Dane or his family , who seemed to keep coming under attack .
For one amazing night , I thought tonight might be a turning point for Dane and I.
That maybe we would somehow find our way back to each other as we unearthed this incredible magic .
Now , even though he was there , looking down at me with his golden eyes , even though he was close enough for me to reach out and touch , Id never felt further from him .
Now , I only wanted one thing from this night , and that was for my children to survive .
And Dane .
If I also managed … then maybe we could keep finding a way forward .
Looking into Danes eyes , I decided to say no to the guardian .
He was confused .
I wasnt going to be his mate .
Instead , Dane and I would gain the power of the relic .
Id use it to break free of Holden .
Then , maybe , I could be with Dane .
Chapter 135 Maybe we could finally have a chance to be a family .
I finished setting up and directed the wolves where to stand .
Only then did Waylon move forward .
Now he didnt just have Tristan .
He had both of the twins .
5/5 I told you your blood would be spilled tonight , Montague , he said cruelly as he tossed my children down next to the stone and drew out a silver bladed knife .
Time to water the earth with the power your grandfather stole from us all those years ago .
Its the only way the guardian can be unbound and the relic can be freed .
