Chapter 181 AURORA The Namelesss deadline weighed on me like a heavy load crushing my chest .

Sunrise was hours away , but it felt as though the light would never come .

My thoughts raced , each one more hopeless than the last .

Trajan and Evander were in unimaginable danger and Danc .

Dane looked as defeated as Id ever seen him .

My voice cracked but I didnt care .

His head lifted slightly , his jaw tight as he stared at me .

But every time I think Ive found a crack in his plans , it closes .

Its like hes always three steps ahead .
