Chapter 161 AURORA I was out of bed and down the stairs in minutes .


    I found Morwen , one of our coven allies , in the control room where all of our security both magical and non magical connected back to .


    She was standing over a small model of Broken Ridge packnds that seemed to float before her in arge orb , almost like a soap .


    bubble .


    A silver dome arched over it , looking like it was made of magicalce .


    One side of the dome was shing gently red and orange .


    All around , other magical miniatures floated in their own bubbles , showing areas Morwen and her witches had enchanted .


    They looked strangely whimsical against the wall of screens with CCTV feeds and the tables full ofputers and other tech , but with Morwen at the center of it all , it somehow worked .


    Tell me , I said as I entered , already fully dressed in the dark gray fitted shirt and pants I wore when there might bebat .


    Not that I usually saw it , wolfless as I was .


    But since being given magic , there had been a few times .


    Morwen a short woman about my age , with chin length , wildly curly red hair , who likedbat boots , coffee , and giant , oversized sweaters spared me only a short nce from her Chapter 161 wide hazel eyes .


    Nothing good .


    This magic is strong .


    2/4 Despite looking like shed be better suited to crafting drinks at a coffee shop or working in a cozy bookstore , Morwen was the head witch of the most powerful coven east of the Rocky Mountains .


    Morwen , herself , might just be one of the strongest witches in the world .


    She was definitely one of the smartest .


    She was the genius .


    behind most of the wards and magical barriers that currently kept key locations in the US safe .


    She was no nonsense and blunt , which I liked .


    But she drove many of my wolves crazy by having half a dozen feral cat familiars that wandered the woods and hissed at us from the trees on a regr basis .


    Youll deal with them if you want me , she had said pertly when cautiously approached on the subject .


    So , the cats stayed though they didnte anywhere near the pack house , keeping to the woods around the spot where Morwen had a small cottage .


    She was so useful ; Id give up more than a cat free forest to keep her on my side .


    Besides , I liked her , and so did the twins .


    Do you think your barriers will hold ? I asked .


    I went to stand beside her , but I couldnt sense her or her magic the way I could other wolves .


    Wolf magic is tied to the moon .


    Witch magices from the earth .


    Chapter 161 3/4 Morwen tapped her lips , then looked to me .


    Under an assault This strong ? I dont know .


    I wasnt expecting any fighting until he had at least attempted to negotiate .


    The coven has the barriers going at full power , of course , but there are other things in the works .


    Things that will make them stronger .


    I just havent had time to finish them yet .


    More wolves were joining us in the control room now .


    I touched the pearl pendant at my neck .


    Maybe this was the moment to try the desperate , crazy thing I had wanted to do since Dane was taken from me .


    I think its time to put my other n into action , I said .


    I should have been afraid .


    Dane was attacking , after all , despite the moment he and I had shared with the twins earlier tonight .


    But I couldnt help the feeling of excitement that tingled in my fingertips .


    This might be my chance .


    My first , real chance in two and a half years , to get him back .


    No ! Trajan immediately barked .


    Its too soon .


    I gave my beta a dry look .


    No ? Trajan subsided with a grumble .


    He might have been pulled from sleep , but like me , he found a way to look polished , even in the small hours of the morning .


    His dark hair and beard were neat , his ck clothes immacte .


    I would advise against it , Luna , Trajan amended without 4/4 Chapter 161 apologizing for his outburst .


    Youve advised against it from the moment you heard about it , I said .


    But I had already decided .


    But Im going to do it anyway .


    I scanned the small crowd of my most trusted , high ranking wolves .


    Trajan , Evander , Evelyn , and the four female wolves who served as my bodyguards most of the time were all there .


    This is an opportunity Ive been hoping for , I told them .


    I touched the pearl at my throat again .


    I could feel the water cool magic of the moon goddess emanating from it , but it was also inteced now with the summer warm strength of wood and stone .


    Enchantments woven by the witch covens that I could call on in an instant .


    What opportunity is that , Luna ? Evelyn asked .


    She looked grumpy at being pulled out of bed , and unlike Trajan , she didnt know about my ns .


    The chance to capture Dane , of course .


    Using myself as bait .
