GoodNovelChapter 138 DANE There was a long moment of silence from Waylon Reed.
Then he said, Fine.
But remember, I have this place surrounded, which means even though that big wolf is holding those children, they are in my power.
He released me.
The skin of my neck stung and burned from where hed pressed the silver dagger into my neck.
Hed been forcing it back so hard, the muscles ached.
Breathing had been hard, so I inhaled deeply.
The lycan holding Aurora let her go, and she fell to her knees and crawled the few feet to me.
The wolves holding my arms released me, and I wrapped them around her.
Maybe I should have refused this.
It would have been easier on all of us to get it over with, like ripping off a band aid.
But there were things I had to tell Aurora.
Words I needed her to hear before I left this world forever.
Chapter 138 Words Id like to say to my children if I got the chance.
Aurora rose and pulledto my feet.
Broken Forest wolves moved out of her way as she ledtoward the woods.
2/5 Where do you think youre going? Esther Reeds shrill voice cut through the night.
Aurora looked to the sky.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWe have half an hour before the moon is fully at its peak.
Im taking 25 minutes.
Not one second longer, Waylon growled, Or you will return to find your childrens blood spilled to feed the stone Her hand clutched convulsively in mine, and she looked toward the cluster of Blue Ridge wolves on the other side of the massive stone.
The kids werent visible, but from the minds of my wolves, I knew they were standing in a circle around them with Trajan at the center.
If Waylon Reed wanted to spill the blood of my children, hed have to make it through half of my pack and Auroras massive bodyguard first.
It felt wrong to take this moment.
Wrong to walk away.
But a night that was supposed to be my greatest triumph had suddenly becmy last night on earth. Not one second longer, I growled.
And remember this, Reed.
If you kill them, you lose the only thing you have that is stoppingfrom killing you.
Chapter 138 3/5 Aurora ledinto the woods, to a space by a stream beneath the overhanging branches of a willow tree.
I sharpened my senses, scanning for Reeds spies .
I scented wolves prowling, but it was faint.
Fo: the moment, we had at least a sliver of privacy.
As soon as we were alone, she threw herself into my arms.
Dane, Im so sorry.
This is all my fault.
I didnt see the missing page.
I didnt know.
I pulled her close.
Shh.
It doesnt matter.
I dont want to waste the twe have.
Her head fell against my chest, and I cradled it there, burying my fingers in the soft, silken strands of her pale hair.
I leaned my head against the top of her head and breathed her in.
She still smelled like lilacs, just like the first tId met her.
Goddess damn me, we could have had so many years together.
We should have.
Instead, our past was eight years riddled with loneliness, and we had no future at all.
As if she could sense my thoughts, she squeezed her arms around me.
But I didnt want to spend this whole twallowing in regrets.
I put my fingers beneath her chin and tilted her head up, forcing her to look at me.
There are things to say before I go.
Chapter 138 4/5 Go ? she laughed bitterly, Go.
Like youre running to Atlanta for work or headed to the store for groceries.
Youre not rum an errand, Dane, youre about to- She blinked rapidly and tried to pull away so she could escape myves.
I wouldnt let her.
Die .
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI finished the sentence for her.
Im about to die, you stubborn woman, and I have things to say before I do.
The least you can do is hearout.
Tears leaked from the corners of her eyes.
I smoothed them from her cheeks with my thumb.
Can you do that for me? I dont know, Dane.
Im afraid of what youre going to say.
Youre afraid? She swallowed, then nodded.
Theres something I want to hear from you, but as as much as Cwant to hear it, Near it.
Because whats it worth, knowing that someone- her breath caught, feath knowing how they feel, if they just die right after.
Then I know how you felt, but we never have a chance to actually do anything ing about it, and all im left with is the memory of your words and the hollow dreams of what could have been. I understand, I said, my voice rough .
I released her.
But as soon as I did, she grabbed my wrists.
No.
Goddess, Im so selfish.
Im sorry.
Say it.
Please.
