NovelEnglishChapter 12 AURORA I slapped at his gnarled clawed hands, and he looked down atwith hatred.
I tried to call for Trajan, but I couldnt breathe.
Remi leaned close.
In his lycan form he was half man, half wolf, nearly seven feet tall and corded with muscle.
His face was wolf like and monstrous.
Did you think you could walk away from us? His sour breath washed over my face, and I gagged .
He was squeezing so tight, I couldnt breathe.
I pulled at his hands, but they were like steel.
All the memories of him torturingwhen we were both children cflooding back.
My vision darkened around the edges.
Would he kill me? Would I ever see my children again? Then a massive wall of muscle thudded into Remi.
He went flying, and I was in the arms of my rescuer.
Bigger than Remi.
Stronger.
With power rolling off of him like Id only experienced with one man . Chapter 12 2/6 My throat was bruised and swollen from Remis grip. Dane? I whispered in a broken voice.
Because I knew him.
By his scent.
By the feel of his thick, soft fur that was so dark gray it was nearly black.
By the way my instincts screamed atlo curl into him and let him keepsafe.
But Dane had never been safe.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot for me.
He heldagainst him, his arm an iron band around my waist, and he snarled a challenge at Remi.
Hatred ran deep between my brother and Dane.
Remi pushed himself to his feet.
In a voice like gravel, he growled, She was disloyal to you.
She made you look like a fool.
What the hell are you doing here, protecting her? That was what I was wondering, but I was too terrified to ask , or think about it.
I was too terrified to do anything but hold onto Dane and be grateful he was here.
Shes ours, Remi continued, gesturing for Dane to handover.
You never wanted her in the first place, Give her here and let us have her back.
You know what the Council will do if we spill each others blood.
My terror grew as Dane paused, then loosened his grip.
He was going to handover ! Chapter 12 DANE 3/6 I would never give her to them .
Maybe shed betrayed me.
That just made her mine to hold accountable for it.
Not theirs.
But I wasnt going to fight him one handed.
I loosened my grip to set her aside.
Then another wolf, massive and steel gray, churtling out of the night and slammed into Remington Reeds side.
They went down hard, snarling and clawing at each other.
Trajan! Ann screamed.
Then Remi was up and yelping.
I caught a glimpse of blood streaming from his neck and chest as he ran into the thick forest.
Then he was gone.
I hadnt had to shed his blood, thank the goddess.
If I had, it might have meant the end of both of us.
The steel gray wolf turned into Anns silent bodyguard and strode over to us.
I was still holding her against me.
She was so small in my arms, so delicate.
My mind flashed back to five years ago.
The one tI had claimed her.
A Chapter 12 The beast inwanted to claim her again.
4/6 To his credit, the man didnt flinch, even though I still wore my lycan form . Over seven feet tall, my body bulging with muscle, my claws long and sharp.
It took a powerful werewolf to be able to shift into this between form.
Of all the shapes a wolf could take, it was the deadliest.
Alpha Montague, her bodyguard said.
Put the Luna heir down.
His voice was respectful, but it was still a command.
That wasnt why I listened.
I set her down because I couldnt trust myself for as long as my hands were on her, no matter what form I was in As I set Ann down and she brushed herself off she was still in the silver dress that madewant to bite every luxurious curve on her body I started to believe that maybe the representative from High Alpine had been there, after all.
That Ann wasnt lying when she said she found a new family.
That the woman in my arms wasnt my ex wife at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt least, nol anymore.
This woman was someone different.
Chapter 12 5/6 What happened to you, Ann ? I asked.
For the first tsince shed walked into the gala earlier tonight, I wasnt enraged.
I wanted to know.
She raised that one cool eyebrow again.
Shed never made that face as my wife, but it was already starting to becfamiliar. Its Aurora, she said.
The moon was mostly full, and beneath its silver light she was so beautifulshe only looked half real.
Like I might have dreamed her coming back to me.
The way Id dreamed too many times before. Dreams I despised.
Dreams I couldnt get rid of, no matter what I did.
If youre ready to listen, she said, III 1.
tell you ...almost anything you' want to know. The night was cool, and she shivered and hugged herself.
In that motion self comfort I finally saw a flash of the woman I used to know.
All right, I said.
Im ready.
Good, then lets ah! She took a step forward and fell .
Her bodyguard moved, but I was faster.
I caught her and lifted her in my arms.
Damn it.
Why didnt you say you were hurt?
