Chapter 144 DANE I didnt want to fight Waylon Reed .
At least, night right now.
Right now, I wanted to know where Aurora was and what, exactly we had freed from that stone with my lifes blood.
But Waylon wasnt going to givea choice.
Hed already issued the challenge.
He stepped forward, ready to attack.
I said, I accept your challenge, Waylon Reed.
But if I kill you, then I becAlpha over Broken Forest .
Hed said he wanted the packs reunited.
Fine.
I would do that.
Id take over that den of rats.
I would avenge Aurora, evil or not, and I would make sure that no one ever suffered at their hands again.
I accept, Waylon snapped.
The magic rose around us and tightened, scaling the challenge.
Behind me, Evelyn cursed and muttered, What happened to escape, Danc? Chapter 144 I glanced over my shoulder.
Warn Piper.
Warn them all.
2/6 I didnt have the energy to summon the pack bond and speak to them all.
Besides, it was too late to stop this, now.
I wont leave you here, Evelyn said.
Then stand as a witness to this, I said.
There was a snarl, and before I could say anything else, Waylon was on me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI barely turned in tto catch the old wolf before he tookout with a slash to the throat.
He was in his lycan form, but he brandished the silver knife.
I rolled to the side, grunting at the pain in my chest.
Even though he was old, Waylon was onimmediately.
My blood burned in my veins.
Fuck this silver.
I was too slow.
That much was clear a moment later, when Waylon struck again.
I lifted my arm to block the blow, then let out a grunt of pain as the silver knife bit deep into my flesh deep enough to strike bone.
I struck with my other hand, my claws racking across his face and down his chest.
He yelped and fell back.
As he moved, I swiped down again.
Chapter 144 3/6 I hit the knife.
It spun off to the side, beyond Evelyn and her warriors.
Waylon lunged like he would go get it, but they closed ranks, blocking his way.
Bitch! Waylon roared.
Your fight is with me.
I used his moment of distraction to move up behind him and strike the back of his head.
He yelped again and went to the ground.
I slashed, but he grabbedWe rolled around, biting and slashing and snarling .
Normally, if Id had to challenge Waylon directly, I could have killed him in a minute.
Only the Councils forced peace had keptfrom doing it years ago.
But in my weakened state, we were evenly matched ... or he was stronger.
He wrapped his hands around my throat, cutting off my air .
I felt dizzy.
The lack of air plus the silver made a buzzing rise in my ears.
Things started going black around the edges.
I felt my grip on him go slack.
I was losing.
Rage rose deep inside me.
4/6 Chapter 144 I didnt fucking get brought back by skind of miracle fifteen minutes ago just to die now.
That wouldnt help Blue Ridge.
It wouldnt help my kids.
It wouldnt help Aurora, wherever she was.
Wil surge of strength beyond what I thought I could do, I broke his grip on my neck.
I grabbed his head in my hands, and I twisted.
There was a crack.
Then Waylon Reed slumped over on top of me.
He was dead.
Unlike me, he wasnt going to be coming back anytsoon.
I rose and let his body fall into the bloody mud.
Esther Reed screamed.
And I ... felt it.
I felt the power Waylon had horded all his life fall over me, get pulled into me.
Then, in a wave of voices I hadnt felt since the night I becthe Alpha of Blue Ridge, I felt them .
The rest of the Broken Forest wolves.
They were everywhere.
In the forest all around us.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd now, they were mine.
Chapter 144 I turned in a slow circle, aof then I sent out a message all of them I would hear. Youre mine, now.
5/6 My triumph was short lived.
Because then Pipers voice was in myi d, and it was filled with panic.
Dane ! You have to chnow.
The Fall Line wolves are here, and theyre about to attack! AURORA woke from the dark and cold to find myself in a strange place made of stone. Tapestries hung from the walls.
Carved columns lined a pathway up to where I sat ... Which looked like a dais.
I was sitting on a throne.
I tried to move, but it was like Id been tied there.
When I tried to shift, the strands of cord touched my skin and burned.
Ah! It was silver.
I shook my head to clear it.
Next towas another throne.
Chapter 144 The guardian sat on it.
He was clothed all in black.
His sleek black hair fell past his shoulders.
6/6 Even though I hadnt made a sound, he turned toas if he sensed I was awake.
He rose with a graceful motion and swept over to stand in front of my chair.
I tugged on my bindings but couldnt break them.
Letgo! Fsmiled, and it almost looked sad.
I dont think so, darling.
Now, lets just wipe away those pesky memories of yours, so youll be willing toldo everything I say.
