Chapter 163 DANE 1/5 I respected a cunning woman , and the one who called herself Aurora Montague was a cunning woman , indeed .

I might not have been on the lookout for a trap if she hadnt been so intent on toying with that necklace .

Aurora wore stillness and cool composure like warriors wore armor and weapons .

When she kept touching that necklace , I knew something was wrong .

Then I felt the air gel around my body , and Id had no more than an instant to react .

So did a handful of other wolves .

Some I knew , some … I almost remembered .

Well ? I growled softly .

Would you ? I would die for you in an instant .
