Chapter 135 AURORA Even wolfless , with Evelyn holding my shoulders and Dane standing in front of me like a bodyguard , nothing could stop me from breaking free and running to my children .


    I tore from Evelyns grip .


    It hurt .


    I was sure Id have bruises on my pale skinter .


    Seraphina ! Tristan ! I sprinted forward .


    Dane tried to grab for me , but even though he was lightning fast , I dodged him .


    A big , gray wolf ran to me , but instead of trying to stop me , it ran by my side .


    Trajan .


    The Broken Forest wolves parted , and a petite figure came forward with my kids .


    My foster sister , Selene .


    She held each of them by one shoulder and looked like she felt so guilty .


    Theres here , Aurora .


    I couldnt stand to keep them away from you any longer .


    Damn it ! Selene , you were supposed to wait ! Waylon shouted .


    Before I could cross the distance and reach the twins did they look okay ? Did they look bruised ? From here it was so hard to tell .


    It didnt help that tears filled my eyes and blurred everything Waylon crossed the distance and grabbed each of Chapter 135 the twins away from Selene .


    No ! I cried .


    2/5 Broken Forest wolves jumped in front of me .


    Trajan attacked , tearing into them .


    Get back ! Waylon shouted .


    He was in his lycan form , and he held his fingers to Tristans throat .


    My little boy lifted his chin .


    His eyes were wide and terrified , but he was being so brave .


    Call off your attack dog ! Waylon shouted .


    Trajan ! I shouted desperately .


    Another lycan appeared at my side .


    Trajan was caught in a fight to the death with the two wolves , but Dane in his massive lycan body moved past me and grabbed Trajan by the scruff , yanking him back .


    At the same time , he shoved the other two wolves , sending them flying back toward Broken Forest .


    Dane shook Trajan , then dropped him .


    If you ever do anything to endanger my children again , Ill fucking kill you .


    I wanted to protest that Trajan had only been protecting me , but my attention waspletely caught by Waylon and the children .


    Silence fell between the two sides .


    As long as he had them , Dane wouldnt let Blue Ridge move .


    Chapter 135 3/5 All right .


    Lets restore order , here , shall we ? Waylon drawled .


    Were wasting time .


    Ann , I believe you have a ceremony to get everyone in position for .


    Alpha Montague … his voice turned threatening , and he gave Tristan a little shake .


    I believe you were about to back the fuck up .


    Ow ! Tristan said .


    He red up at Waylon .


    Growling , Dane took a single step back .


    I tried to breathe and think and nced up at the sky .


    He was right .


    The moon was almost in position .


    The ceremony needed to begin .


    In less than an hour , wed have the relic .


    If we were truly surrounded , we might be forced to give it to Broken Forest .


    But maybe not .


    Because there was still the guardian and his powers .


    Once he was free , if I chose him , he might fight for us .


    Hed called me his mate , but that had to be a mistake .


    Besides , I was bound to Holden .


    There was nothing he could do to me that hadnt already been done .


    All right .


    Ill set up the ceremony .


    Just keep my children where I can see them , I said .


    I turned and went to get my supplies .


    Bags of chalk to draw lines .


    Torches .


    Mirrors .


    Chapter 135 What do you need from me? Dane asked .


    4/5 I paused and looked at him .


    Id imagined this night so many times .


    It was supposed to mean so much .


    Originally , all Id wanted was to guarantee my position as Luna heir of the High Alpe Pack .


    I had hoped it might bring my wolf back .


    I had wanted to help bring magic back to the world .


    Later , once the attacks started , Id only wanted safety and an end to the shadows .


    No more monsters .


    No more danger for Dane or his family , who seemed to keeping under attack .


    For one amazing night , I thought tonight might be a turning point for Dane and I.


    That maybe we would somehow find our way back to each other as we unearthed this incredible magic .


    Now , even though he was there , looking down at me with his golden eyes , even though he was close enough for me to reach out and touch , Id never felt further from him .


    Now , I only wanted one thing from this night , and that was for my children to survive .


    And Dane .


    If I also managed … then maybe we could keep finding a way forward .


    Looking into Danes eyes , I decided to say no to the guardian .


    He was confused .


    I wasnt going to be his mate .


    Instead , Dane and I would gain the power of the relic .


    Id use it to break free of Holden .


    Then , maybe , I could be with Dane .


    Chapter 135 Maybe we could finally have a chance to be a family .


    I finished setting up and directed the wolves where to stand .


    Only then did Waylon move forward .


    Now he didnt just have Tristan .


    He had both of the twins .


    5/5 I told you your blood would be spilled tonight , Montague , he said cruelly as he tossed my children down next to the stone and drew out a silver ded knife .


    Time to water the earth with the power your grandfather stole from us all those years ago .


    Its the only way the guardian can be unbound and the relic can be freed .
