Chapter 125

Auren POV

The wall behind me groaned as it slid open with a grind over the stone. A burst of cool air hit my back and dim light spilled from the hidden passage behind me. It illuminated the darkness I was in. A dangerous growl erupted and Lucien stepped out. The moment he was there, I couldn't help hurling myself in his arms. He wrapped his left arm around my waist and pulled me closer. My legs were shaking. I buried my face in his chest, clutching him as if I'd never let him go. When I looked over my shoulder at Sable, I saw that she had paled. Her mouth dropped wide open and her arms hung loosely around her with knives in them.

"H-how did you get here?" she asked bewildered as she stared at the wall behind

us.

Lucien looked over my head as his eyes locked onto Sable. His fury was palpable through our bond. I could feel that he wanted to rip her apart. "Through the passage," he said. "A secret only the Alpha of the North knows. You really thought we would let you roam unchecked?"

Without a warning, Sable lunged at us, her knives lifted high in the air. But before she could reach me, Lucien shoved me behind him and ducked. Using full force, he swung his fists at her ribs. On impact, Sable cried loudly as she flew in the air and crashed on the shelves behind her. Books and journals dropped over her. Next instant, she pushed past those books and emerged, shaking on her feet with madness in her eyes. "But... how? How did you find out?" she asked, unable to believe that we had foiled her plans.

Suddenly, the door burst open and Tarian walked in. Before Sable had a chance to turn, he twisted her arm behind. She let out a shriek as she dropped her knives. Then Tarian caught her throat and peeled off her prosthetic mask. "I knew it!" he rasped.
