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 .

I stepped out of the zippy white sports car and took in the Georgia mansion Id just purchased .

As glad as I was to see the red earth and breathe the rich air , my stomach felt full of wriggling worms .

Dane had looked hard for me for a few months .

Id even been on the news .

He might have found me … if the DeVeres hadnt first .

Once they realized who I was once they informed me of my true identity as their heiress I was whisked away .

I thought the Council would force me to go back to Dane .

But Augusta DeVere , my biological grandmother and Luna of the Alpine Pack , was one of the heads of the Council .

Not only did Chapter 5 she handle the rest of them , she kept my location and my existence a secret .

The Blue Ridge pack was powerful , but they were nothing compared to the ancient packs in Europe .

The former mercenary was a bear of a man .

He was my assistant , bodyguard , and my choice for beta when I took over as Luna of the High Alpine Pack .

My voice was smooth , crisp .

Just like my cream colored suit .
