Chapter 184 DANE The weak feeling of our connection had been the same since the last time Aurora and I talked , but it stayed in my mind like a dull pain .

My chains shone softly , their patterns teasing me with their complex , unbreakable design .

I had tried everything , from strength to mind tricks but these bindings were made by a power much stronger than I could control .

But the small sign of weakness I had seen before , the slight fading of the magic , was like a guiding light .

I had spent many hours looking at it , counting its pattern like a heartbeat .

If I wanted to escape , I needed Aurora to know everything , but the Nameless had taken her away from this cell .

I have been restless since he took her away … I dont know whats going on .

I shut my eyes and reached out with our connection once more , straining the frustrating thread between us .

Shit … if only I hadnt cut our bond years ago .

This was like trying to push a thread through a needle in 2/7 Chapter 184 complete darkness but after a few painful moments , I felt her presence move .

I sat quietly , breathing normally as I looked at the shining symbols carved into the chains .

They pulsed in a pattern , like a heartbeat .

There was a rhythm to them , a moment when the light faded a little before lighting up again .

It was small , almost unnoticeable , but it was there .

This is it , I said quietly to myself , clenching my teeth .

The Nameless was cunning , but his arrogance made him sloppy .

He believed no one could understand his magic , let alone exploit it .

His overconfidence would be the end of him .

I exhaled slowly , closing my eyes to concentrate .

The faint thread of my bond with Aurora stirred at the edges of my mind , fragile but alive .

Aurora , I thought , focusing all my energy on the bond .

The connection was weak , like a bad signal and I could hardly hear her .

I pushed harder , which made my head hurt .

The chains became brighter because of my defiance , but I kept going .

Then , like a thread going through a needle , I heard her voice .

Dane ? 3/7 Chapter 184 The quiet sound of her voice shocked me .

Aurora , I said softly , even though I knew she couldnt hear me like that .

I can barely … hear you … I heard her .

Her words were broken , like glass pieces in my mind .

Aurora , I thought , feeling my desperation in the connection .
