Chapter 128 AURORA I went stiff in Danes arms , but he wasnt having it .

Look at me .

He tilted my face up to his .

Ive got you .

I will never ask you to be with me if you dont want to .

But if you do ….

you choose .

You choose .

Danes words echoed through my soul , giving me freedom .

Holdens magic was trying to close over me again , I could feel it .

And I could still feel the commands in place that prevented me from speaking to Dane or anyone else about being bonded to Holden .

But for this moment , without knowing it , Dane seemed to have loosened my tormentors hold on me and given me my choice back .

I didnt think it would last , and I didnt understand how he had done it .

Maybe he was just a stronger Alpha .

Maybe this was part of the gift the goddess had given him .

Or maybe theres more .

A deeper connection .

Something that binds you to him beyond magic , beyond time , beyond suffering … Chapter 128 2/5 The thought came to me out of nowhere .

I brushed it aside .

If I examined it too closely … There was some hope that was too painful to hold on to , even for me .

But there was a problem .

Because even with my freedom , I couldnt be with Dane .

I was still under Holdens control , and there were still the shadows .

So , even though I could choose , even though in this moment , I was free , I had to do the hardest thing I had ever done .

I put my hands on either side of Danes face , and I kissed him slowly .

His fingers tightened on my hips once again .

His lips were soft against mine .
