SWNOVELS Chapter 162
Chapter 162 AURORA Thanks to Morwen , it was easy to pinpoint the places Dancs shadows were attacking .
Trajan , Evander , and the others hid in the forest in their wolf forms while I walked directly out to the barrier .
Dane stood on the other side of it .
He didnt have any of his werewolves with him , but the shadow wolves he commanded were at his side , spread out and attacking .
Before I even stepped into his view , it was like I could feel his eyes on me .
Aurora , he said as I came to a stop just on the inside of the barrier , inches from the snapping jaws of the wolves .
I shivered .
I didnt remember much about my few days under the Namelesss control , but I remembered those wolves .
I remembered using them to push Holden from a cliff and kill him .
That winter it had snowed hard , and as far as I knew , his body still hadnt been found .
It would take a warm year to thaw the mountains that high up .
Chapter 162 2/5 Dane .
I pulled a polite smile onto my face , even though my body was reacting to the sight of him like it always did .
Elevated heartbeat , heat through my body , unsteady breath .
Every time I saw him , he was just so beautiful .
So undeniably sexy .
I thought Id appreciated that before , but being deprived of him for two years magnified everything .
I eyed the wolves , and the barrier between us .
The magical trap the witches had built into my pendant wouldnt work with the barrier between us it had been created to keep magic from passing through .
That meant I would have to step outside the barrier if I wanted to try and trap Dane .
Once we had him , we had a special cell set up in the dungeon below the packhouse .
It had been made comfortable and was magic proofed in every way we could think of to try and weaken the influence of the Nameless .
I had no idea if it would work , but I desperately wanted to try .
Why are you here attacking my barrier ? And so alone ? I asked in a low voice .
The corner of Danes mouth ticked up in a ghost of a smile , and he gestured at his shadow wolves .
Im no more alone than you are .
My backup is blood and bone , I said .
Yours is nothing more Chapter 162 than a trick of the light .
3/5 Danes smile grew .
Is it ? Then why dont you step outside with 1 toyed with the pearl pendant , then stepped closer to the barrier .
Dane was already standing right in front of it , and my movement brought me close enough that there were inches between us .
Maybe it was an illusion , but I swore I could feel his warmth .
The barrier didnt stop the flow of air .
It didnt keep out heat or scent .
Danes nostrils subtly flared as I closed the distance between us .
coming as close to the barrier as I dared .
While the areas over the roads were made to pass through easily , the barrier here in the forest was different .
A person could enter or exit , but unless they were unconscious , it was much harder to pull them through against their will .
He might try to grab me , but the magic wouldnt make it easy .
I just want to speak with you , I said , my voice low .
Earlier tonight … My gaze dropped to his lips .
It might have seemed like I was seducing him on purpose , but I was the one who had been seduced years ago .
I meant every word , every look .
I ached for Dane .
Chapter 162 I wanted him back .
From the way his eyes darkened , something in him 4/5 remembered , and something in him wanted me , too , despite the influence of the Nameless .
Dane dismissed his wolves .
Be careful , Luna , Trajan growled in my mind .
I could feel his seething need to snatch me away from the barrier and carry me back to the pack house , but though he might complain , Trajan had always respected my ability to make my own choices .
Thats why he was my beta .
Be on guard , I replied .
He wants me , Trajan , but hes still so deep in the shadows .
Then I took a breath and stepped through the barrier .
The instant I did , my hand leaped to the pearl at my throat , and I unleashed my trap .
Energy blasted from the necklace .
It circled Dane , hardening the air around him as if he were stuck in gelatin .
But he moved too fast .
Before he could freeze completely , he snatched me against his body and pressed one long claw against my throat .
By the time he was fully caught in the spell , I was , too .
The way he had me pinned against his body meant that if I tried to Chapter 162
