Chapter 107 DANE 1/5 One of the wolves that surrounded us approached.
She was big for a female, and from her movements I could tell shed make a powerful opponent.
When she was still several feet away, she crouched down and shifted back into a human.
Alpha Montague, she said.
Ive been searching for you.
I know where Aurora DeVere is.
All around us, the other wolves shifted, as well.
There were twelve of them in all, and all of them were women.
They were all ages, races, shapes, and sizes.
The leader had medium brown skin and eyes so dark they were almost black.
Her hair fell in long dark brown curls down her back, and when she spoke, she had slight Spanish accent.
Her words were like a hook in my gut.
I shifted toward her, still in my wolf form.
Where? Not here, said another of the women.
Shes north, hidden in the mountains in neutral territory.
Evelyn crowded close to me.
What the hell is going on? How do they know who we are? How did they find us? Who are they? Chapter 107 2/5 None of those were questions I could answer.
But to my surprise, the women looked at Evelyn as if they could hear her .
Evelyn was neither Alpha nor Luna .
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe shouldnt be able to speak to any wolves who werent of her pack while she was in her wolf form.
But the leader of the women spoke as if theyd heard her.
You will know us soon enough, Evelyn Barclay.
Why would I trust you? I asked.
Too many strange things have happened lately.
Maybe youre just here to throw us off Auroras scent.
are Strange things happening, said the woman.
Dark forces move.
Forces that you are called to fight.
Take this as proof.
She lifted her palm.
It glowed, and a small beam of light shone from it up into the night.
It looked very much like the light Evelyn could also control since shed been revealed as the chosen of the goddess.
As the light shone from her hand, sclouds cleared and the woman was bathed in moonlight, as if the goddess was making a spotlight just for her.
A feeling of warmth and comfort flowed over ine.
Goosebumps rose over my skin.
I was used to the cold darkness of the shadows, and I did pray to the goddess.
But praying to a being like that and feeling, for a single moment, like they were standing right next to you were two very different things.
Chapter 107 3/5 Dane ... I believe her, Evelyn whispered.
I dont know why, but I feel connected to her.
To all of them.
I didnt feel that, but the strange warmth was still in my chest.
I nodded.
We have nothing better to go on.
Evelyn and I will follow you.
My pack will continue to search here.
The place is remote.
You cant get close by car.
It will take you a day or more, said the woman.
I dont care, I said.
I have to find her.
AURORA The first night, I was terrified Holden would use his power overto forceto sleep with him.
He didnt, and I despised him for makinggrateful for that.
He did, however, taketo a cell like room.
It had a bed and was lit by several lamps, though I have no idea how they got electricity down here.
It had a small bed piled with blankets, which was good because it was cold below ground.
He placed my book on a table, then turned towardand rubbed both my arms like he was trying to warmI pulled away and he growled, Stand still.
I closed my eyes against the burn of tears as his Alpha powers Chapter 107 took control of my body, and I stood still while he rubbed my arms and then tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.
4/5 I hadnt been controlled by an Alpha like this since I was young, and Waylon Reed was my Alpha .
Even when we were married, Dane had never tried.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot having a wolf meant I couldnt be controlled as thoroughly as pack members who did ... usually.
It had been one dubious benefit of being wolfless.
But whatever Holden had done to bindto him also gave him power overlike I was a weak willed cub. If I tried to disobey, I suddenly couldnt breathe.
I hated him.
Every the touched me, revulsion squirmed in my belly like a giant worm.
You will sleep, he said.
Then tomorrow you will work on translating the book.
What if I dont ? I muttered.
He smiled and grabbed my chin between his thumb and forefinger, squeezing until it hurt.
I cried out in pain, but I was still gripped in his magic, and I couldnt pull away.
Then, like I said, youll never see your children again.
He leaned down until his lips brushed my car and whispered I would rather and watch you strangle and die trying to disobeythan allow Dane Montague to possess you ever again . He bent and kissed my neck.
More tears trickled down my cheeks, but I wouldnt break in front of him again.
Holden might think he had me, but he had no idea who he was Chapter 107 messing with .
5/5 I had survived too much, gone through too many hells, to break because of this.
No matter what he did to me, I would survive.
And one day, I would kill him.
Then I heard his next words.
Now, Aurora, darling, once youve found the answers to certain things I e need to know, I'm 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...
