Chapter 180 1/7 AURORA Its t.
The growling voice was like a ripple in the air, an ominous echo that didnt leave room for doubt.
The earth beneath our feet cracked further, cold seeping into my bones in an alien embrace .
Danes grip ontightened, his body coiled and tense, ready to shieldfrom whatever was coming.
Before we could act, the air in the cell shimmered with an unnatural light, and we were both torn apart by sinvisible force.
I hit the floor hard, the breath knocked out of me, as Dane struggled against unseen bonds pinning him in place No! I cried, reaching for him.
But the Namelesss voice boomed again, cutting through the thick tension.
Hush now, my dear.
Were just beginning.
The cell shifted, its oppressive energy growing denser, and the cracks in the ground seemed to radiate with dark magic.
I see your people are worried about you... they dont know what is coming for them, do they? the Nameless shrieked and 2/7 Chapter 180 laughed out loud.
I stared at him in confusion, I balled up my fist and managed to get on my knees, How do you know... Ohh ... maybe I should show you.
He spread out his hand and a dark smoke cout of his clawed fingers.
The smoke circled up toand I sniffed as it hung in front of me.
Figures formed inside it and I widened my eyes in shock, I saw Trajan and Evander in the war room.
Shit, so this scum could see out every move.
Trajan paced the war room, his claws half extended, his jaw set in a grim line.
Evander stood at the table, staring down at the hasty map they had drawn from the Namelesss lair.
Shes been gone too long, Trajan growled, slamming his fist against the table.
We should have stopped her, Evander shot him a sharp look.
And how would you have done that? You know Aurora.
When she makes up her mind, nothing stops her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOur job now is to get her back.
Trajans golden eyes flickered with frustration, but he didnt argue.
Instead, he turned his attention back to the map.
Well take the eastern side.
The defenses there should be weaker.
If were quiet... Evander cut him off with a dry laugh.
Quiet doesnt work with the Nameless.
Hell know were coming.
1 or not? Evanders lips pressed into a thin line before he nodded.
Im in.
But we need to move now.
Every second we waste, shes further away from us.
The two men burst into their wolf forms, bodies lengthening and rippling with muscle, fur bristling.
Then, without another word, they leaped into the night, swift and silent despite their size.
As I watched them cnear the lair of the Nameless, my heart throbbed within my chest as I screamed, No !! Dont come.
But they couldnt hear me, I could only watch and pray, the darkness twisted unnaturally, seeming to shift of their own accord.
Trajan growled low, his sharp eyes caught the little glow which was a magic barrier ahead.
Spreading out, each in wide circles, they found and cut for an opening.
Evander found it, the energy of the barrier weaker just here, a slit only, and he went in first, motioning for Trajan to take point.
1 But it was different inside: The heavy silence gave way to a deafening roar ; dark figures emerged from the dark their eyes glowing in the dark and fixed on the intruders.
4/7 Chapter 180 Ambush ! Trajan snarled, his claws swiping through the air as the first wave of darkness fell upon them.
Beside him, Evander fought, their combat a fatal battle of fangs clashes.
We must fall back ! Evander shouted, his voice breaking.
No.
Trajan growled.
We will not leave her! But the moments were too short to make a decision.
The darkness closed over them, thickening into a living thing; the struggle was beyond them.
Trajans growls weakened into pained snarls as he was forced to the ground, parts of darkness lashing his limbs tight.
And Evander did not even struggle, the darkness washing over him entirely.
No !!! I yelled within me, but it was of no use, if I wanted to save them, I had to save myself first.
But how do I save them? When trying to save just Dane I had gotten in trouble myself.
I placed my palms together and said a silent prayer.
Help me, Moon Goddess.
The Nameless appeared in front of me, his smokey body forming from the darkness.
I see youve been busy, he said, silky and smiling Dane strained against the invisible bonds holding him tight, his 5/7 Chapter 180 muscles weak, his jaw clenched.
Stay away from her, please he growled Ctoinstead.
The Nameless burst out laughing, a cold, wicked sound that ran chills down my spine.
Oh, but its so much more entertaining when shes involved.
Dont you agree, Aurora ? I shot him a glare, refusing to give him even the satisfaction of a response.
He stepped closer, his towering form suffocating.
Youve causedquite a bit of trouble, my dear.
But now, I have a proposition for you.
A choice, if you will.
Danes growl grew louder, but the Nameless silenced him with a flick of his hand, and the restraints wrapped tightly around him.
The Nameless turned to me, the smirk spreading across his face.
I have two of your loyal little wolves.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTrajan and Evander, so ... My heart skipped a beat and I shook my head.
No... Oh, yes, he said sarcastically.
And Im afraid their futures arent shining too bright.
You see, Ive decided to give them the sgift I bestowed upon Dane.
Unless, of course, you choose another path.
I didnt want to hear it, but he stepped closer, his voice a poisonous whisper.
6/7 Chapter 180 Marry Holden.
My chosen.
Bechis, and III spare your dear friends from a fate worse than death.
Holden, his chosen? Danes roar His filled the cell, his fury evitable even through the restraints. You scundrell! The Nameless ignored him, his gaze fixed on.
The clock is ticking, my dear.
You have until sunrise to decide.
Tears welled in my eyes as the weight of his words crushed me.
I looked at Dane, his face contorted with anger and despair, and my heart broke.
The Nameless chuckled, his form melting back into the darkness.
Think carefully, Aurora.
The fate of your friends, loved ones and yours rests on your answer
And with that, his form dissolved into the dark and the cell was silent bhce more. I fell and sat on the floor, as I let the tears fall.
Dane struggled against his bonds, voice harsh as he called my state.
Aurora ... dont listen to him.
Well find a way.
But I couldnt answer.
My mind was reeling with fear and doubts, and the ticking of an unseen clock echoed loudly in my Chapter 1801717 Sunrise felt like it was a lifetaway, and yet it was so near , too
