Moon Glow Chapter 68
Christos led the trio around the corner at the end of the corridor into an underground aqueduct. It was used as a way to bring goods in and out without being seen. Christos went to the row of boats and began untying all of them. He pushed all but one of them out into the flowing water and motioned for Amaris and Lyle to get into the last one. It was a gondola. There were not many of these to be found here since the island was so small and there were no canals for them to be used in. Christos moved to the back of the narrow boat and grabbed the forcola and began to propel the tiny boat in the direction of the mouth of the tunnel. The opening was opaque and it was impossible to see where they were going. They could not risk a light or they might be seen. There were footsteps pounding down the stairs. The sound tapered off as they went further in. The tunnel was dark. They could see absolutely nothing. The only thing they could hear was the moving water and the gentle circular motion of

“Well, Mari warned us just in time. We started to turn back, and then the guys with the gun showed up. They started firing on us right away. They definately had no intention of taking us hostage or even letting us live. Lucky for us they can’t shoot the broad side of a barn.” Anna tried to ease the tension on Amaris’ face. “We were able to take a secret pathway that Jason knew about behind one of those carvings. The guys with guns must not have seen us, because we got away. Then Lyle reached out to Marco and told him to meet us here, so here we are.” Anna said holding her arms out like a gameshow host.Amaris run up and gave Anna another hug. Then she rounded on Lyle. “Why didn’t you tell me you contacted them?” Amaris vented her frustration. “Yes. I’d like to know that too. You told us you did not have your cellphone.” Christos added looking at Lyle. Lyle shot a look at Anna and Amaris who suddenly realized what they had just done. Lyle now walked over to stand next to Marco. He tur

Christos relayed his plan to the whole group through the mind link. The men had stopped firing and were just waiting, but he was sure that they were not going to wait forever. “Surrender the girl and the rest of you can go free.” A voice came from the other side of the rocks.” Amaris got nervous. They could all go free if she just surrendered herself. No one else would get hurt. Lyle seemed to know what she was thinking, because he put his arm around her and pulled her close. Leaning down to whisper in her ear. “You are not going anywhere. We will all get out of here and we will ALL be fine.” “Come on it’s time to move.” Christos said. He waved Amaris and Lyle ahead of him and they were able to continue down the line of boulders to the bank. Men began to come out of the tunnel that Amaris, Lyle and Christos had emerged from earlier. They would now have men moving at them from two sides, and if they did not get out of there now that would give their assailants more time t

The temple ruins consisted of pillars. Most of them were broken, but there were three in the back that had been restored and the cap stones replaced. They still had to get down the hill and then across the open lot. Amaris could not see anywhere to hide once they got down there. “Where do we need to go Christos?” Lyle asked as if reading Amaris’ mind. Christos pointed toward the center of the ruins where the pillars stood. The group moved down the hill as fast as the terrain would allow. The loose scree toward the bottom of the hillside slowed them up considerably. Metallic banging came from the top of the hillside where they had just come from. The gun men had reached the grate, but it was apparent that they could not get past the padlock either. No one seemed to question when Amaris had opened a combination lock she had never seen before without even looking at it. That was an impossible feat. One that was emphasized now by the gun fire coming from the area of the grate. The gun men

Taji holstered the gun in the back of his belt and walked to the window where Christos had been keeping lookout moments before. “I will lead. Girls you follow close unless I wave you off. Lyle you cover the flank. Stay together. We are heading for that black Rover.” He sent to everyone. They stood in silence at the ready waiting for the diversion to start. A loud boom followed by a great plume of dirt and rubble on the far side of the adjacent hill. Every head in the parking lot turned and then they all started moving toward the explosion. Taji motioned with a grin, “I guess that’s our signal. Why does Jay always get to play with the explosives?” He said half jokingly. They all moved out the door and to the right. The Rover was not too far off and they all got to their doors quickly. Rather than automatically unlocking it, he used the key inside the fob and pushed the unlock button on the inside of the driver’s door once it was open, so the car would not beep and draw attention. Everyo

Anna and Amaris sat on the couch and waited while the three men sat at the table in the apartment. It turned out that this was Jason’s apartment and Anna had told Amaris that Taji lived right across the hall. They were all trying to think of what to do next, while hoping for Marco to reach out and let them know that he was alive. Anna had sent a text to her parents telling them to call so that they could be in on the discussion as well. Anna was visibly nervous. She had not yet told her parents that she had completed the mate bond with Taji. She was not sure if they were going to be happy about this or not. Especially since he was not a wolf that they knew and he lived half way around the world. The men were reviewing a map that Jason had of the entire site. It showed the temple, and the ruins, as well as many of the buildings surrounding them. They were still not sure what happened. How did the gun men get into the temple. How did they even find the temple or any of its entrances.

Lyle held his hand there a little longer. He did not want his friend to be gone. There was a faint flutter under the pressure of Lyle’s fingers. Very quickly Lyle handed Amaris to Jason and ordered him to lay her on the couch and told Anna to stay with her. Anna did as she was asked with tears rolling down her cheeks. Lyle turned back to Marco and found that he was not breathing. He started CPR. Lyle worked for no more than a minute or two and Marco started breathing on his own. He had come to. He was a little groggy, but he seemed to be healed. They helped him up into the recliner that was next to the couch. Lyle reached over and touched Amaris to check that she was still ok. Christos, who had been standing back watching the scene, now came forward and looked at both Amaris and Marco. “What happened to you?” He said speaking to Marco. Marco looked at Christos. “I decided to take the tunnel that you came out of and go back to the temple while the gunman followed all of you. I thought

Lyle followed Christos up the hallways and tried to keep track of all the bends and turns, but he had to admit that since he was not familiar with the city or the tunnels that he was thoroughly lost. Marco tapped Lyle on the shoulder. “Where are we going? And where did Anna and Taji go?” Lyle came to an abrupt halt and Marco and Jason nearly collided trying to avoid him. Christos stopped too and came back. “Hurry! We do not have much time.” Christos urged. “Where are Anna and Taji?” Lyle said in almost a growl. His arms reached out for Amaris. Christos looked down at the unconscious girl and handed her over to her mate. He had no wish to start a fight now. He knew that Amaris would be safe with her mate. “Taji went back to find the final tapestry.” Jason said from the back of the group. All heads turned to look at him. “Are you crazy!” Lyle exploded “They can’t go back to the temple now!” Jason was shaking his head. “Over the last twenty years the guardians realized the importance of
