Chapter 110 AURORA Holdens instructions were burned into my mind.
Now.
Aurora, darling, once youve found the answers to certain things I need to know, Im going to let you go.
You are going to walk straight to Dane.
And when you find him, this is exactly what youre going to do... First, you arent allowed to tell him about our bond.
You cant speak it, you cant write it, you cant sign it or play charades.
You are forbidden to communicate it in any way whatsoever to anyone, ever.
Second, you are going to act like things are normal.
If he wants to kiss you, by all means, give him a kiss.
If he wants to fuck you ... do it and think of.
We cant let our little secret get out, can we ? Tears ran down my face as as I forced the memory out of my mind I thought finding Dane would be a comfort, but seeing him, feeling his arms around me, and gazing into his trusting eyes just made it worse.
I kept trying to find a way around Holdens commands so that I could tell Dane what had happened, but you are forbidden to communicate it to anyone, ever covered everything I could think of.

Dane grabbed my hand.
He and Evelyn had both shifted into their lycan forms.
Dane crouched and commandedto get on his back.
I did.
What other choice did I have? You arent allowed to act like anything is wrong.
I did.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHoldens Alpha powers would strangle me.
You arent allowed to hurt or kill yourself.
I wouldnt have left the twins.
You arent allowed to run.
Stay by his side as much as is reasonable.
As much as you would if you were still in control of yourself.
With that, my final hope left.
If I couldnt even protect Dane by leaving him, what could I do? Dane sprinted through the dark woods, and I kept my face buried against his neck, my hands fisted in his dark gray fur.
The land flew by.
Even though I knew my presence was now toxic, and I was like a knife positioned at Danes throat, I couldnt help but melt into his warmth.
His strength.
We had been so close to finally having each other.
I had been so close to having the man I had loved for eight years.
Chapter 110 But Holden had madeinto a spy.
A tbomb.
3/5 I thought Dane and I had done everything possible to poison our love during our marriage.
But it turned out that was nothing compared to what Holden could do.
That he could take something as beautiful and life giving as a second chance at love and turn it into something that might be the death of us all.
All because of his jealousy and greed.
Just as I would get control of my tears, hopelessness would overwhelm me, and Id start crying all over again.
It went on like that for hours, until the howls of Holdens wolves faded away.
He wasnt really hunting us anyway.
He wanted Dane to takehome.
Keepclose to him.
But hed forbiddenfrom saying that, too.
In my misery, I lost track of time.
When we finally stopped again, it was the middle of the night.
I was bone tired, and I didnt recognize where we were.
Dane helpeddown from his back, and I stretched sore muscles.
The nights were getting cooler, and I shivered without his warmth.
He turned to faceand shifted into his human form, then pulledagainst him so tightly it made my ribs ache.
Chapter 110 We found you, he whispered.
We found you.
4/5 I scrunched my burning eyes against more tears and cleared my throat, which had started to close.
H how did you know where to look? His brow furrowed, and he toldthe story of the strange rogues. That doesnt make any sense, I said, totally confused.
Who are they? I still dont know, but they said wed find out, so I expect well see them again, Dane said.
I glanced around the little clearing we were in by the side of the moonlit river and only then realized Evelyn was gone.
Were close to Blue Ridge territory, Dane said.
I called Archer to meet her.
Theyll go ahead of us to the pack house to check on things.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOh.
I exhaled shakily and moved away from Dane; toward the edge of the wide, slow moving river we were En: following. I hugged myself and stared at the wavering outline of the moon in the black water.
Goddess, I thought, how could you have let these things happen to me? Why didnt you just letdie alm vel those years ago before I could beca weapon to be used against Dane over and over again? 5/5 Chapter 110 She didnt answer. I wasnt sure if she ever had.
But then, if I was a child of the darkness, surely the goddess hated me, just like everyone else.
Dane walked up behindand wrapped his hands around my elbows.
He pulledback against his strong body and kissed my hair.
I know youre afraid for the twins.
But I got you back.
Our luck is changing.
Well find them, and everything will be all right.
I trembled because Dane was wrong.
So wrong.
Our luck wasnt changing.
It was only getting crueler.
My hand brushed my pocket, where a silver knife was tucked into a sheath .
Holdens last command echoed through my mind.
Let him be close to you.
Let him love you.
And when the moment is right, when hes least expecting it wil give the commando Va and you will kill him.
Hell never see it coming.
