Chapter 12 AURORA I slapped at his gnarled clawed hands , and he looked down at me with hatred .

I tried to call for Trajan , but I couldnt breathe .

Remi leaned close .

In his lycan form he was half man , half wolf , nearly seven feet tall and corded with muscle .

His face was wolf like and monstrous .

Did you think you could walk away from us ? His sour breath washed over my face , and I gagged .

He was squeezing so tight , I couldnt breathe .

I pulled at his hands , but they were like steel .

All the memories of him torturing me when we were both children came flooding back .

My vision darkened around the edges .

Would he kill me ? Would I ever see my children again ? Then a massive wall of muscle thudded into Remi .

He went flying , and I was in the arms of my rescuer .

Bigger than Remi .

Stronger .

With power rolling off of him like Id only experienced with one man .

Chapter 12 2/6 My throat was bruised and swollen from Remis grip .

Dane ? I whispered in a broken voice .

Because I knew him .

By his scent .

By the feel of his thick , soft fur that was so dark gray it was nearly black .

By the way my instincts screamed at me lo curl into him and let him keep me safe .

But Dane had never been safe .

Not for me .

He held me against him , his arm an iron band around my waist , and he snarled a challenge at Remi .
