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 skin later .

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 was completely 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 glared up at Waylon .

Growling , Dane took a single step back .

I tried to breathe and think and glanced 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 keep coming 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 .noveldrama

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 bladed 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 .
