StarNovelChapter 136 DANE He lifted the knife as if he would stab my four year old son.
Al my side, Aurora screamed.
Power surged inside me.
Waylon was chanting something, and it called to my blood as it rushed through my veins.
Regret pierced my chest as I realized I would never see my children grow up, because I would die before I allowed this to happen.
No! I strode toward him, not giving a shit about the Broken Forest wolves that closed in around me.
They grabbed for me, and I threw them off.
More came, and I shook those off, too.
In the end, it took six Broken Forest wolves to forceto my knees.
Listen to me, Reed, I called to the other Alpha, If you have to kill someone, kill me.
No! Aurora cried.
This isnt what the book said! I didnt look back at either of them.
Instead, I let the Broken Forest wolves dragcloser, until I was only a few feet from Waylon .
If I could get free, I could tear out his throat.
But there was no way any of them would allow that to happen.
Chapter 136 2/4 I bared my teeth.
You heard me, Reed.
Im not going to let you kill my children.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI heard a whimper and looked down at my kids.
They seemed pale and frightened, but I didnt see any bruises on them.
My he lurched.
I could have loved them.
I could have been there for them.
It was a crthat the first four years of their lives had been stolen from us.
Now we were going to lose the rest, as well.
, But it was worth it.
I didnt know them, but I could feel my connection to them.
I loved them.
If I was going to go out, dying to protect them was the best damn death I could ask for.
Its going to be okay, I said to them.
They were crouched by Waylons feet, clinging to each other, and looking atwith huge eyes.
I wont let him hurt you.
You and your mother are going to walk out of here just fine.
Well see about that, Esther Reed muttered.
So? I said to Waylon.
You have me.
Just like youve always wanted.
Let them go.
Swear toas an Alpha that once this is finished, youll let them and Aurora walk away.
I wont let you hurt them.
I didnt think you would.
He smiled and pulled back, putting the silver knife in a sheath at his hip.
III let them go.
Ill even swear no harm will cto them from a Broken Forest wolf ... if you will swear toas an Alpha that youll die in their place.
Chapter 136 3/4 Promises sworn as Alphas were binding.
If we each did it, wed be held to our word.
The ceremony was unpredictable, and it didnt mean Aurora and the twins would be completely safe, but it would protect them from Broken Forest forever.
I cldnt ask for more than that, even if it meant I paid for it with my life.
Ill even go first, since Im feeling generous, Waylon said.
I felt magic gather around him.
If Dane Montague gives his blood.
in place of his childrens, I, Waylon Reed, Alpha of the Broken Forest Pack, swear that no harm will cto ... Aurora ... or his children at the hands of any Broken Forest wolf for as long as Im Alpha.
Power sharpened in the air, making it smell light lightning .
Then it tightened around us.
His promise was complete.
I bowed my head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmId known this was a trap.
I had taken precautions placed traps and wolves in the woods all around.
But I should have known better.
This land was Reed land, back to a tbefore memory.
If my wolves were still alive out there, I had no idea.
If any of my traps had been tripped, I didnt know.
Maybe they still would be.
At least then if I had to go down, I would take sof them with me.
I, Dane Montague, Alpha of the Blue Ridge Pack.... Chapter 1364/Dane, no! Auroras voice sounded closer. There was snapping and snarling, as if she was fighting to get to me.
Or more accurately, Trajan was fighting, and she was with him .
1 pulled my power around me.
... swear that Ill die in place of my children, as long as you uphold your promise and allow them to go free immediately and dont harm them. No! Aurora cried again.
The magic twisted around me, sharp as it had been when Waylon had made his promise.
The promise settled aroundjust as Aurora reached me.
She threw her arms aroundand cried, but it was too late.
They lifted her off ofand shoved the twins at her.
Dane Montague, Waylon said, flashing the silver bladed knife dice again, tto die.
