Chapter 130 DANE I waed her face harden and her eyes turn to shards of lc ice , just like I knew they would .


    Im going , she said .


    My children will be there .


    That was the problem .


    Her , and the twins .


    If things went wrong , and I lost them all … I didnt know what kind of monster I would be .


    Piper shifted at my side .


    She was also not going .


    Id already won that argument , but only because she was too weak from being bedridden for so long .


    Ill bring them to you , I said .


    Aurora scoffed .


    Not many people dared scoff at me , but there wasnt an ounce of hesitation in her .


    She stepped close and dropped her voice to give us some semnce of privacy .


    They want you , Dane .


    They want your blood .


    Weve had our hands tied behind us and were walking into a trap .


    Her face turned pained .


    I know things between us have been … difficult … but Im still not going to let you walk into that alone .


    2/5 Chapter 130 Difficult .


    She had such a way of understating things .


    The twins had been taken from me just as I was getting to know them .


    My blood enemies had had them for weeks .


    My rival had temporarily taken Aurora from me , and she hade back .


    changed .


    Just en I thought my family wasing together , it was ripped apart .


    If she thought all of that could be summed up in one single , simple , nd word , she was insane .


    Difficult .


    Things hadnt been difficult .


    Theyd been impossible .


    Enraging .


    Shattering .


    Even those words didnt do it justice .


    But that didnt matter because I couldnt show any of that .


    I was the Alpha , and bad things happened when I lost control .


    Painful things .


    A wisp of the memory Id recovered from the time Id been kidnapped brushed across my mind .


    Something deep inside said maybe my need for control came from somewhere outside of myself .


    But I pushed that thought away .


    It didnt matter if I drowned .


    Burned .


    Suffocated .


    All that mattered was that I lived long enough to get my children back , get the relic , and make sure Blue Ridge was safe .


    I didnt matter .


    What I wanted didnt matter .


    Chapter 130 3/5 A lifetime of telling myself that and a lifetime of believing it was all that prevented me from begging Aurora never to leave my side again when she was so clearly trying to put distance between us .


    I have my pack to protect me , I said .


    And now that Piper was alivy life didnt matter as much .


    If I died , she could step up as Luna of Blue Ridge .


    She would hate it , but at least I wasnt leaving them with nothing .


    I believe I have your pack to protect me , too , Aurora said .


    And I have you , and you have me .


    Besides … she shot a look over at Evelyn , where she stood alone .


    All three of the chosen of the goddess have to be there .


    The trantion was clear about that .


    She was right .


    It was the one thing I couldnt get around , no matter how many ns to keep her safe I came up with .


    But as time went on , I wondered more and more if we could trust her book .


    It had belonged to her mother , but she didnt know where her mother had gotten it .


    Alpha , Archer trotted up to me .


    My beta had been gone a long time .


    He had stubble along his jaw and a leaner look to him than before .


    He nced from me to Aurora .


    His eyes flicked to Trajan , who stood like a massive shadow behind her .


    Its time to go .


    The dark moon is rising .


    Chapter 130 I nodded .


    Give the order to transform .


    **** 4/5 AURORA I watched as all around me , wolves shifted .


    A pang went through me .


    I wanted to be one of them so badly .


    With autumns chill in the air and no light from the moon only glittering stars lit the sky the night felt wild and full of endless possibilities .


    I touched the pearl ne at my throat .


    There was nothing in the instructions for this unlocking ceremony that said we had to dress a certain way .


    Since the others would all be wolves or lycans , they wouldnt need clothes anyway .


    But tonight felt important .


    Sacred .


    So I wore a silver dress that reminded me of moonlight but was easy enough to move in that I could walk through the forest without a problem .


    Dane shifted all the way into his massive , charcoal colored wolf .


    He was huge almost the size of a pony .


    He trotted up to me , and I lifted my hand to rest on his back .


    Evelyn came up on his other side .


    She was a leggy pale gold wolf with blue eyes .


    Her pregnancy was getting further along , and even in this form I could see the swell in her belly .


    The strange women who had appeared during the ceremony formed neat rows of two wolves each behind her , as if they were Chapter 130 soldiers and she was theirmander .


    5/5 ording to them , she was .


    I still didnt know if that was good or bad .


    Dane shifted forward .


    I assumed hed given themand to move , because finally , we started forward .


    The walk was long .


    I knew I slowed the wolves , but Dane never faltered from my side , and the others followed him .


    Atst , after what had to be two or more hours , we arrived .


    As soon as I saw the standing stone in the middle of the ravine , I knew something was wrong .


    Aurora , what is it ? Dane asked into my mind as only an Alpha could do with a wolfless .


    The stone … I whispered .


    The air around it seemed to vibrate and pulse .


    I feel like its calling me … Then everything went ck .
