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 .

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 .
