BookAmazoneChapter 160 AURORA I knew Evander was hearly, but I didnt expect to see him waiting for me.
I stood by the door, saying goodbye to guests.
Danes quick entrance and exit had unsettled everyone, and I was smoothing many ruffled feathers.
Luna? I glanced up in surprise.
Evander .
You should be resting.
I know, but there are things I need to tell you.
You could tellthrough the pack bond, I said.
I can, but this is important enough that I wanted to be face to face.
Besides, telling you sooner wouldnt have helped.
Tonight had to happen.
I gave him a brief nod, keeping my expression cool and polite even though my heartbeat picked up at the idea that he would have news.
Once the guests were gone, I met Evander in my personal sitting room.
Chapter 160 2/5 Id taken over Dancs old rooms.
It was bittersweet, because it madefeel close to him, but it also remindedof him every second of every day.
I had food served and made sure Evander was eating before I sat down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat do you have to tell me? My team and I are closing in on the location of the entrance to the Namelesss lair.
Ive narrowed it down to an area of just a few square miles in the mountains.
I swallowed, my heart beating rapidly again.
Thats timely, because your father has been working hard on the relic .
I looked my cousin over.
He used to be vibrant, lively, and energetic enough to keep up with the twins.
While I had no doubts about his ability to keep up Evander had proved to be the deadliest wolf working foroutside of Trajan, these days he looked tired and worn.
Hed never fully recovered from what the Reeds had done.
I understood that.
I put my hand over his and squeezed, then told him to get srest.
I want you to stay as long as Dane does.
With the shadow wolves so near our land, I need all my best fighters at home.
Semotion passed over Evanders face, but it was gone.
before I could read it.
Yes, Luna.
Aurora, I said.
Im still just your cousin.
Chapter 160 3/5 I pulled him into a hug.
He seemed to need it because he huggedback tightly.
Then he left to get ready for bed.
That night, I dreamed.
I dreamed many nights as Luna of so many wolves and a chosen of the goddess, I tried to be close to her and listen to her advice.
Tonight was different, though.
The dream didnt have the touch of the moon goddess.
At least, not exactly.
I was in a forest.
My skin itched, but when I tried to scratch it, my fingers were like claws and I cut myself and bled.
I gasped and pulled my hands away, turning them back and forth... but they looked normal.
I wiped my brow, which felt hot and cold, like I had a fever or silver poisoning.
Something moved in the trees, just beyond where I could make it out.
It was ghostly silver.
I wasnt sure if it was hunting me, or just watching, or maybe even beckoning me... but I felt like I knew it.
I had to see it.
Run.

Instead I lifted my chin into the wind created by my passing.
The feverish shivers tingled through me, but they werent as strong as the joy I felt.
4/5 I ran, and everywhere my bare feet hit cool moss or dirt or dry leaves, the earth and I were one .
I breathed, pulling the sweet scented air of the summer forest into my lungs, and the air and I were one. My muscles burned with the good burn of exercise when one had been still for too long.
I stretched myself, the trees flashing.
by, the silver shadow ahead, always ahead.
Because I wasnt running from it, I was running toward it.
The woods were turning from golden sunlit day to silver moonlit .
night, and somehow I still ran, and somehow I was more alive.
and freer than I had been in so long.
I would catch up to the thing soon.
I would catch it, and then the fever I plaguing my body would break, land I would finally-The scream of alarms shockedout of my dream. I sat bolt upright in bed.
My sheets were twisted around me, soaked in sweat.
The hot/cold fever feeling of the dream lingered, but I pushed the sensation away.
Whats happening? I put out to the pack.
Chapter 160 5/5 Luna, said Camila, one of the former female rogues who now made up my inner circle of spies Bodyguards, attendants, and advisors. Its the shadow wolves.
