Chapter 146 AURORA I pred into his arms .


    im me .


    Mark me .


    Give me something to hold on to .


    Something to remember when he tries to take everything else away .


    Holdens bond with me would prevent Dane from making me his in any binding magical way , but I could only cling to hope- and even here , Holdensmands wouldnt let me speak of it .


    Maybe since the goddess gave us this moment , something about it will stay with me .


    He didnt hesitate , didnt question , just grasped my hips , and pressed me hard against his body while he lowered his lips to mine .


    The kiss was deep , desperate yet tender .


    He was searing himself onto my soul like a slowly burning brand .


    Hiding away part of his warmth inside me .


    I could only pray it would be enough to warm my heart when the Nameless took my memories and everything else turned cold .


    His fingers tightened on my hips , and he pulled me against him .


    The ce we were looked like autumn , all blue sky and water and gold leaves .


    I was barefoot and the grass under my feet was cool and soft , and the breeze was warm .


    2/5 Chapter 146 I twined my arms around Danes neck and returned his kiss .


    This dream , this vision could end at any time , and I wanted to make the most of it .


    The years ahead will be dark … Gods , please dont let it be years .


    If there was any being out there that loved Dane and I even a little bit , I prayed it wouldnt be that long .


    Im going to find you , Dane said , breathing heavily as he tore his lips from mine .


    The words burst from him , sounding determined .


    I wont give up .


    I wont be myself when you find me .


    Dane … if the Nameless .


    makes me into some kind of weapon because of these powers … 1 held up my palm , and a silvery glow threaded between my fingers .


    Dane growled .


    If he wants you , maybe hell trade for me .


    Youve already done that ! Do you know what it did to me to watch you die ? He caught my face in his hands again .


    Do you know what it did to me to watch you try and take my ce ? I was always meant to be the one sacrificed to this thing , Aurora .


    Not you .


    Iughed bitterly .


    Oh , I was meant for him .


    Theyve apparently raised me since I was a baby to be his .


    Born favored of the moon and twisted into darkness .


    Chapter 146 There must be a way .


    He kissed me again , then leaned his forehead against mine .


    I wont let you go .


    Just be with me now .


    Imprint yourself on my soul .


    Try to help me save whatever scrap of myself you can .


    Dan as never a man to show his emotions , but what I saw in his eyes at the prospect of losing me was devastation .


    Despair .


    He smoothed the hair from my face and kissed my cheeks , my lips , my chin , my jaw .


    You are mine , he said , sealing his words with more kisses .


    You have always been mine .


    No matter what happens between .


    us , well find our way back to each other .


    You and I always find our way back to each other .


    As he spoke , his Alpha magic unfurled slowly into the air around us .


    We couldnt bond , but there was something in this .


    Something that shifted deep, deep inside me , in a ce even I couldnt reach .


    His .


    Im his .


    Yes , I whispered .


    We always find our way back .


    We always will .


    He pulled me into the soft grass , his hands gentle as he slowly stripped , then touched and kissed every inch of my body .


    Any second it would end , and I would find myself back in the cold clutches of the thing I thought was my ally .


    The thing I Chapter 146 thought would save us but was actually the greatest enemy wolves had ever faced .


    4/5 Even though we only had this tiny slip of time between time , Dane didnt rush with me .


    He was gentle , casing off my clothes , then his .


    We wrapped our bodies together , content to simply feel the mth of skin against skin .


    Slowly , his touches heated .


    He pressed me onto my back andvished kisses on my breasts .


    He sucked one nipple into his mouth and slid his fingers between my legs , stroking until I was wet and whimpering .


    When he imed me , it wasnt in a mad physical rush .


    It was deliberate , thorough , and utterly possessive .


    Mine , he growled as he slid inside me , filling me , owning me .


    His fingers twined through mine , pinning my hands in ce in the grass .


    He looked deep into my eyes , and there was so much heat , so much power in him that it was as if he forged a bond between our souls .


    Youre mine Aurora .


    I im you .


    Mine , our souls bound , from this day until forever .


    It was lov much , too intense .


    He wouldnt let me look away as ecstasy stole over me , ripping his name from my helpless lips .


    He kept moving , pumping inside me until he crashed over the edge with me , as well .


    He pressed a kiss to my ear .


    Mine , he said one more time .


    I promise , Aurora .


    Ill find- Then his weight was gone .


    His warmth was gone .


    I had one Chapter 146 second to see the moonlight slipping away … 5/5 And then I was in the darkness again .


    The cold , except for the silver that burned into my wrists .


    The Nameless hovered over me , his eyes greedy and chill .


    Int sting , he said .


    Ill just take that memory , too … Then there was no more .
