Blood And Silver:Rise of the Alpha’s Rejected Mate

Chapter 5 AURORA FIVE YEARS LATER Ann Reed is dead .

Im Aurora DeVere , now , and Aurora DeVere is on the rise .

After years of suffering , I was on the path to being Luna of one of the most powerful packs in the world .

All I had to do to get there was face Dane Montague … and hope I survived .

Because if I knew him , he would want me dead more .

than ever .

My voice was smooth , crisp .

Just like my cream colored suit .
