Chapter 19
Chapter 19 AURORA My blood ? I backed toward where I thought the door was .
Why ? The temperature in the room was dropping .
The air was getting frigid .
There was a scent like wet stone and something rotting deep beneath the earth .
There are two , the puppet of Violet Mannering said in a whispery voice .
Her head hung at a strange angle , like it couldnt support itself .
The sage and the sentinel .
The priestess and the knight .
The wise one and the warrior .
Their blood together is the key .
My brows furrowed .
Trajan backed up so he was right in front of me .
Whatever this creature was , it wasnt acting like a vampire , and I had no idea what it was talking about .
I reached into my pocket .
It would have been stupid to walk into the home of a vampire unprepared , but I had no idea if the blessed water in the vial in my pocket would work on this thing .
Blessed water didnt have to come from a church it could come from anyone pure who worshipped greater spirits .
Wed found a green witch living in a cottage not too far from us , and shed been more than happy to provide .
Chapter 19 2/6 Let us leave , I commanded .
I pulled the vial from my pocket .
In front of me , I saw Trajans claws elongate .
His body grew , the seams of his clothes popping as he started to take his lycan form .
There are two ! the thing screamed .
It flew at us .
I lifted the vial of blessed water and threw it right in the creatures face .
It shrieked in pain .
Steam burst from it as it fell backwards .
The other shadows wavered .
The darkness lifted for just a moment .
Just long enough for me to see the door .
Run ! I shouted at Trajan .
I grabbed for the doorknob and tried to open it .
It was locked .
Behind me , the thing started to laugh .
***** DANE When I pulled up to the abandoned mansion , Auroras car was outside .
It was empty .
Chapter 19 Shit ! I jumped out of my own car and ran to the door .
It takes some wolves time to transform .
It makes them clumsy , vulnerable for a few seconds .
I threw off my shoes and shifted while I ran .
3/6 By the time I got to the door , I had fully taken my lycan shape .
Huge , muscled , with claws that could gut another wolf with one swipe .
As I reached the door , I heard Auroras muffled shout from the other side .
Disgusting waves of corrupt magic oozed out of the house .
It wont open ! I heard her yell .
Her voice was tight and controlled .
Terse instead of terrified .
The doorknob shook , like someone was trying to turn it from the other side , but whatever magic was in the house had locked it .
There was a simple solution to that .
The door couldnt be locked if there was no door .
Back up ! I roared .
I didnt have time to wait and wonder if she would listen .
I grabbed the doorknob , smashed my claws into the rotting wood to get a handhold , and ripped the thing off its hinges .
The wood screamed and creaked .
Then it crumbled in my hands .
Chapter 19 4/6 On the other side , I saw Aurora , pale and disheveled .
Trajan was behind her fighting … something .
Something that looked like pure darkness .
Something that raised a primal rage in me .
An instinct to fight like Id never known .
Get outside , I growled .
For once in her life , Aurora immediately obeyed .
I strode to where Trajan was fighting for his life and attacked .
Power gathered around me , something like my Alpha magic , but more .
I concentrated it , using it to swipe and claw .
I didnt expect this darkness to feel solid , but it did .
And when I hit it , it tore .
Shredded .
Bled .
It screamed , then it shrank back .
I grabbed Trajan and shoved him toward the door .
He ran , and I followed .
We made it outside .
He kept going , all the way to Aurora , who grabbed him and immediately started tending his wounds .
I faced the house , waiting for the darkness to surge through the door .
To come after us .
It didnt .noveldrama
The night was still and quicl .
Chapter 19 5/6 Get in the car , I commanded Aurora as I moved to the drivers side of her car .
And get him in .
She didnt argue , just tossed me the keys and got in the back seat with Trajan .
I shifted back into my human form and drove us to her house .
I helped Trajan inside and shouted for Celia , one of the older warriors Id sent with Piper to guard this place .
She was a healer .
The way way Aurora hovered over his bed , fussing over him , made feelings of ugly jealousy rise inside me .
I shoved them down .
There was no room for that .
Not when I was going to marry Evelyn .
The door to Trajans room creaked .
A small clear voice said , They said Uncle Trajan is hurt ! That voice gripped my heart in a fist like steel .
Slowly , I turned .
There were two children standing in the doorway .
A little boy with blond hair and brown eyes , and a little girl with black hair and eyes of pale lilac .
The children from my vision .
My children .
