Chapter 27
Chapter 27 AURORA Nights Truth , came Esthers voice .
A chill ran through me as she continued , Theres no need for me to poison you .
No need for me to kill you .
Youll make your own poison tonight .
Or murder each other .
Ill be fascinated to see which .
Nights Truth .
Id heard of it .
It was a witch potion that forced the people who took it to act on their deepest desires .
Truthst they would only dare whisper into the night .
I immediately shrank away from Dane .
I knew his deepest desire .
It was what hed promised to do since the night we married .
I am going to be the one who kills you , Ann Reed .
As I felt the potion take hold , felt my inhibitions start to slip away like Id drunk bottles and bottles of the sweetest wine , I knew I was about to die .
In the darkness , Dane groaned .
I heard him shift , rise .
Aurora , he whispered .
I pushed myself back .
Dane , you have to fight this .
Please .
I will Chapter 27 if you do .
2/5 Because with each second that passed , my longing for the desire .
of my heart grew , as well .
And that would just get me killed more quickly .
Because as much as Id tried to deny it , tried to fight it ….
The thing I wanted most in this world was him .
A man whod never loved me .
A man who was engaged to a woman .
And that woman , Evelyn , was the one hed always loved .
Not only that , but she was carrying his child .
These thoughts were fleeting as Dane moved toward me in the dark .
I tried to dodge him , but the space wasnt very large , and there was nowhere to hide .
He grabbed my arm and yanked me roughly toward him .
I shuddered , half lost to fear , half lost to my growing need .
I wanted his hands on my skin like a starving woman wanted food .
I wanted to feel his touch , even if it meant living my last moment .
But instead of snapping my neck like I thought he would , Dane pulled me roughly against him .
Aurora , he said in a voice like gravel .
Then he lowered his lips and kissed me like if he didnt , hed die .
3/5 Chapter 27 DANE I listened to Esthers words with grim , growing horror .
Nights Truth .
I closed my eyes and tried to push back against it .
But I could feel my inhibitions , my control , slipping away .
There was one thing I wanted .
One thing I had denied myself for eight years … except once .
One time , Id tasted her .
One time , Id felt what it was like to be inside her .
Since then , Id tried to forget .
Now , all those reasons melted away .
I could scent her , even though my wolf was still dormant from the silver .
I remembered her hands on my forehead , soft and cool and caring .
I closed my eyes and tried to fight it .
Tried to remember I had a pack that depended on me for safety .
A fiancé who was having my child .
Maybe I didnt love Evelyn .
Maybe I had realized I never would .
But I couldnt betray her … I couldnt … Betray … I heard Aurora move in the darkness .
Her sweet lilac scent washed over me , but also the sharp edge of fear .
Was she afraid ? Chapter 27 4/5 I stood .
Said her name .
She begged me to fight the magic , and I did .
ut I had been fighting the way I felt about her for eight fucking years .
My strength to resist her was thin at the best of times .
Now it snapped .
I said her name , stalked her movements in the dark , then struck .
I pulled her against me .
She didnt fight .
She melted into me , like honey .
So fucking sweet .
I kissed her .
Not the harsh , possessive kiss like the one at the gala .
That kiss had been about ownership .
About vengeance .
But deep inside me , somewhere so deep I hardly knew it was there , I didnt want to own her .
I didnt want revenge .
I just wanted her .
Her sweetness .
Her cleverness .
Her strength .
I wanted her .
Above , Esther laughed quietly .
So , you wont kill her .
I shouldve known .
The Montagues think theyre the knights of the goddess .
But Dane Montague just as low as the rest of us .
He doesnt want his pregnant fiancé .
He wants the woman who betrayed him , over and over and over again .
I knew she was speaking , but my mind rejected her words .
They didnt matter .
5/5 Chapter 27 Nothing mattered but the fact that I had Aurora in my arms , and I was kissing her , and she was kissing me back .
I lifted her , and her legs wrapped around my waist .
I was hard for her .
So fucking hard .
She moaned and rocked against me , and this was right .
This was how it was supposed to be .
Sounds echoed through the cave .
Above us , Esther cursed .
Her footsteps echoed , then faded as she ran away.
I didnt care .
mu Dane , Auroras voice caught and shuddered as she whispered my name .
Her fingers dug into my back as she arched , trying to get closer .
Her body was so perfect , so soft .
She was everything .
I walked forward until we came to the cave wall .
I touched it , making sure it was smooth , that it wouldnt bruise her .noveldrama
Then I pressed her back against it , leaned my weight into her .
She gasped .
Words flooded from my mouth .
Youre all I want .
I never moved on .
I never should have severed our bond .
I never should have let you go .
