Chapter 179 1/6 AURORA Ill protect you come what may , Danes quiet vow still hung in the air , his words echoing through the dense silence of the cell .

The heat of his body beside me was the only thing that kept me grounded in this dark place of powerful magic .

His hand stayed on my arm , rough and hard but still gentle .

I should have pulled away , I should have stayed on guard but the look in his eyes held me there .

Dane , I whispered , my voice shaking as I tried to hold on to the anger and frustration that had made me strong .

This wont fix anything .

Were still stuck .

He nodded , but his thumb touched my skin gently , making me shiver .

I know , he said in a quiet voice that was deep and full of feelings that made my heart hurt .

But for just a moment … can we stop arguing ? My chest felt tight , and his words got through the walls I had made to protect my heart .

I wanted to say no .

I wanted to push him away .

Instead , I lifted my hand and set it on his chest , feeling his heartbeat steady under my palm .

His other hand came up to hold my face , his touch warm even with the cold magic around us .

Aurora, he said softly , his warm breath basking my lips .

Ive missed you every second of every day .

Chapter 179 2/6 The dam that kept my feelings in broke .

I pushed ahead and bumped into him as our lips met .

The kiss was intense and filled with emotion , releasing years of hurt and desire from both of us .

His arms went around me , pulling me nearer until there was no space left between us .

I held on to him , my fingers getting caught in his hair as his lips met mine with a hunger that matched my Own .

His hands moved over my back , going down to hold my waist , keeping me steady even as the magic around us seemed to beat with our fast heartbeats .

Dane , I breathed against his lips , my voice a request .

He responded by tilting my head back , his mouth moving down my jawline to the soft skin of my neck .

His lips were warm , and his breath felt nice as he gently bit and kissed his way down , each touch starting a fire that spread through my body .

His hands moved up , gently touching my sides before resting on chest .

He paused , looking at me as if he wanted to make sure it was okay .

my Please , I said softly , my voice shaking .

His thumbs lightly touched the shape of my boobs , and his touch made me feel a rush of excitement .

3/6 Chapter 179 My head tilted back , and I made a soft sound as he held me completely , his hands strong yet gentle .

Aurora , he whispered , his voice full of feeling .

You mean everything to me .

You always have .

His words broke something inside me , and I pulled him closer , my lips to his in a kiss that was both a surrender and a demand in one .

His tongue brushed against mine ; the taste of him was intoxicating as we lost ourselves in each other .

The magic around us shifted , the oppressive darkness giving way to a pulsing light that seemed to emanate from the around us .

very The heat between us grew , the energy crackling in the space where our bodies met .

air I didnt notice it at first , because I was focused on how he felt : the warmth of his skin , the strength of his arms , and how his breath caught when I touched his chest .

Dane , I whispered , pulling back a little to see his eyes .

They were shining , the gold in them brighter than ever .

I feel it , he said , his voice deep and rough .

Aurora … something is happening .

The light around us grew brighter , and the magic in the cell responded to our bond .

It felt like our feelings and our urgency 4/6 Chapter 179 were feeding it , breaking the Namelesss control .

Dane stumbled , gripping my arms as he tried to stay standing .

I can feel him … losing his hold , he said with clenched teeth .

I reached out to him , my hands holding him steady .

Stay with me , I said , my voice strong even though I felt scared .

Then , the light faded , and the heavy darkness returned .

The Nameless stepped out of the darkness , his golden eyes gleaming with amusement .

How touching , he said , his voice a cold caress that sent a shiver down my spine .

Your love for each other is truly remarkable .

Its almost a shame to break it .

Dane pushed me behind him , standing protectively as he stared at the Nameless .

You wont touch her , he growled , his voice low and threatening .

The Nameless tilted his head , looking back and forth between us .

Oh , Dane , he said , sounding mocking .

You still dont get it , do you ? This isnt about touching her .

Its about hurting her .

And youve just made it much easier .

I felt his words hit me hard , almost like a punch .

My knees shaked under me .

Chapter 179 5/6 What do you mean ? I asked , my voice shaking even though I tried to stay strong .

The Nameless smiled , looking mean and cold .

Youll see soon enough , he said , disappearing into the darkness .

This is only the beginning .

His laughter echoed off the cell walls , the sound feeling empty and cold as the darkness closed in around us once more .

I clung to Dane as the cold silence pressed down around us , the weight of the Namelesss parting words sinking into my bones .

My heart raced , not from the continuous heat of Danes touch but from the icy feeling of fear curling in my chest .

Danes arms tightened around me , his breaths weird .

Aurora , he murmured , his voice barely above a whisper .

Whatever hes planning , we wont let him win .

I nodded , but my throat was too tight to speak .

The faint glow of the cell dimmed further , shadows creeping closer , almost sentient in their movement .

Then , a sound a faint , rhythmic thrum began to rise , vibrating through the floor beneath us .

It was low at first , but it grew louder , more insistent until it felt like the heartbeat of the darkness itself .

Dane stiffened , his body coiled like a spring .

Do you hear that ? Chapter 179 Before I could respond , the floor beneath us shuddered 6/6 violently , and cracks splintered outward from the center of the cell .

The air turned cold , and a voice low , scary , and inhuman whispered from the darkness : Its time .
