novelxo Chapter 106
Chapter 106 AURORA I struggled and screamed , but no amount of tears or begging could convince Holden not to complete the binding ceremony with me .
Once the ribbon was tied around our wrists , the hooded figure started chanting in a strange language .
This wasnt the way it was supposed to be .
Binding ceremonies were tricky for me without my wolf .
It had taken five pack Elders from Broken Forest plus Waylon and Esther Reed to bind me to Dane the first time .
But the strange energy crackled in the air , and the magic smelled and felt strange .
The robed figure never pulled the hood down from their face , so I couldnt see them .
But I could tell , somehow , they werent a wolf .
This wasnt wolf magic wild and free and crystal as the moon .
It was something that felt like dirt in my mouth and smelled like death .
But I still couldnt fight it .
The magic rose to a crescendo and broke over us … And then I could feel him .
Chapter 106 Holden .
In my mind .
Looks like it worked … mate .
2/5 NO ! I shricked .
I struggled , fighting my bindings like a feral thing .
One of my arm restraints snapped .
I immediately started clawing the silver ribbon .
All the time I was sobbing , tears flowing down my face .
Danc … Dane … I didnt want to do this … goddess , please let this not be real .
Remove the ribbon before she shreds it ! the mysterious robed figure hissed .
I clawed at Holdens arm , leaving bloody streaks across his skin .
If I could rip it before he could take it off ….
Ah ! he cried .
Holdens hand flashed .
He slapped me so hard my head snapped to the side .
I saw stars .
By the time I recovered from being dazed , he had the ribbon off of our wrists and hidden away .
In one of his pockets ? Or had he given it to this … thing .
Stop fighting me , Holden snapped inside my mind , Or Ill make sure you never see the twins again .
Stop talking in my head ! I clawed at the restraint that held my other arm .
Holden leaned forward and undid it .
I sat up and started Chapter 106 3/5 untying my legs .
I got them free and swung my feet over the side .
of the stone altar Id been tied to .
I felt like I couldnt get my breath and my throat was clogged with tears .
I was out of control .
So desperately out of control .
I couldnt get a full breath .
And then … something calm pressed into my mind .
I started to sink into it .
Then I realized the calm feeling was coming from Holden .
Get out ! I wrenched my mind away from his and tried to jump from the altar .
Holden grabbed my wrists .
He squeezed them so hard I yelped in pain .
There would be bruises there when he let me go .
Listen to me , he growled , yanking my face close to his .
Youre mine now .
Like I told you that you would be .
You might as well stop fighting it .
Youll never break this binding .
Besides , Im a better match for you than Montague ever was .
Holden , please , I said through my tears .
If you were ever my friend , if you ever cared for me , you wouldnt make me do this .
Please , cut the ribbon .
Sever this bond .
Even as I spoke , I could feel is mind connected to mine .
I wanted to gag .
To be sick .
But he only gave me a faint version of his charming grin .
No.
Mm … goddess , it feels good to be able to have you like this .
To possess your emotions .
Your thoughts .
Chapter 106 You dont possess me , I retorted , sickened even more by his words .
You never will .
He leaned back .
Your grandmother will be pleased with this alliance .
Fall Line is almost as old a pack as High Alpine .
4/5 She wont be pleased , I retorted .
Shell go to war with you for doing this .
He smirked .
No.
If she didnt want me to make you my mate , she would have made me leave .
Instead , shes the one who talked Montague into letting me stay .
We both know it .
I hated his words for making sense .
I wanted to believe my grandmother wouldnt do that to me , but I knew her .
She would sacrifice anything for the security of the pack .
It was what made her such a terrifyingly good Luna .
Now , Holden said , grinning at me .
Youre going to do some things for me .
The first order of business is this .
He held up a book .
My book .
The one only I could translate .
Youre going to figure out what needs to be done for the final ceremonies .
Then … his smile grew wicked , Im going to send you back to Montague as a spy .
Im going to use you to bring down Blue Ridge , and youre going to do everything I say .
I snarled .
No , I wont .
Id never do that to Dane .
Now , Holden laughed .
The laugh sent chills down my spine .
You think so ? How about this .
I command you to do it .
As your Alpha .
Ill show Ill show you .
Lift your hand up like a good mate .
Chapter 106 Youre not my … ..
A feeling closed around my throat , like hands strangling me .
Magic pressed down on me , domineering and powerful .
I felt compelled to raise my hand .
The more I fought it , the less I could breathe .
I clawed my throat , choking .
Just as I was about to black out , I lifted my hand .
5/5 Air rushed into my lungs .
Holden smiled .
I cant wait to use the woman he loves to break him .
