NovelEnglishChapter 111 1/5 AURORA My hand skittered away from the knife.
Whats going on, Aurora my love? Holdens voice purred into ny mind through the cursed bond he had forced on me.
My scouts said hes gotten you almost all the way back to Blue Ridge.
He moves fast.
I am not your love, I snapped.
I hated hearing Holdens voice in my head when Danes hands were the ones stroking up and down my arms.
When Dane was the warm body I leaned against for strength.
When Dane was the one I loved.
I couldnt deny it.
Not anymore.
I had pretended for years that my feelings for him had drifted away.
But the moment Holden had forcedinto the bond with him, I knew my love for Dane had never died, and I didnt think it ever could.
You went tense.
Danes voice rumbled through his chest.
I felt it vibrate against my back.
Whats wrong? You are mine, Holden growled into my head.
If you dont loveyet, you will.
We have eternity, after all.
Youll never be free of me.
Chapter 111 2/5 Well see about that, I shot back.
Ive suffered more than you can dream, you spoiled Alpha prince.
I will find a way.

Thank goodness he couldnt read my mind.
He could hear thoughts I sent directly to him, and he could generally tell where Twas and sense my emotional state, just like I could for him.
But we couldnt read each others minds.
I let my head fall against Dane and swallowed yet more tears.
I refused to lie to him if I could help it, but I couldnt breathe a word of the truth, either, or Holdens Alpha magic would chokeand sear through my nerves.
Weve been through hell, I said.
I cant ... I just want to stand here for a moment and be with you.
Dane put his arms around me, cradlingclose like I was precious to him .
Like I was his treasure.
I fought against the tide of emotion that rose insideand demanded that I push him away.
Yes, it was too much.
Yes, I was dangerous to him.
But not yet.
Holden wanted us to perform the ceremonies first .
I had a feeling he would wait to getto kill Dane until the moment we took the relic.
That was when Holden would wantto turn on him .
That would be the moment Holden would try Chapter 111 to steal Danes power.
His pack.
His life.
Danes fingers found my chin, and he tilted my face up to his.
What did he do to you? Dane asked again.
3/5 Answers buzzed in my brain, but my tongue felt swollen and useless in my mouth.
I couldnt force myself to speak anything like the truth, so I looked away.
Theres nothing to tell.
Now Danes body went tense.
His fingers tightened on my chin, forcingto look at him again.
Aurora .
Did he ... I swallowed.
I knew what Dane was asking.
The answer was no, technically speaking.
Holden had hardly made physical contact withat all.
But in spirit? In mind? Yes.
Hed violated me.
Taken away my choice.
He was taking away my choices, even now.
Danes fingers were gentle on my face.
You can tellor not tellanything you want.
Im here for you.
Youd kill him if you knew, I said.
Then I flinched, waiting for the strangling sensation.
None came.
Apparently, talking around what Holden had done didnt hurt if I kept it vague enough Because Dane would kill Holden if he knew.
Then hed find a way to bring him back from the dead and kill him again and again and again.
Dane was a man who considered every move he made.
He was a man of control.

But when you evoked his rage, there e was nothing Chapter 1 anyone? could do to save you. I would know.
He had hatedfor so many years.
4/5 Aurora... Dane stroked my cheek.
His head bent to mine.
Hist lip hovered inches away.
His scent wrapped aroundlike hist arms, familiar and safe.
The memory of Holdens words hit me.
If he wants to kiss you, by all means, give him a kiss.
Bile rose in my throat.
How could someone turn something I so desperately wanted to do intol something that sickened me? I En couldnt help it. I tried to turn my head.
But Holden was a powerful Alpha second only to Dane in this part of the world.
His magic wrapped around me, compellingto go still.
So, I went completely, utterly still.
Thats when it dawned on me.
Holdens magic said I had to let Dane kiss me.
It couldnt forceto kiss him back.
He said I had to stay as close to Dane as I would if I was under my own power.
But if Dane rejected me, Id have to stay away from him, even if I was in control .
Then my tears did start again.
Because I knew how I could save Danc.
Chapter 111 I had to make him hateall over again.
5/5 Even if it shattered my heart and took away any chance ofbeing happy..ever.
