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

Chapter 16 AURORA Dane frowned .

Is that … a child crying ? All of the blood drained from my face , but I couldnt let him see how terrified I was .

Yes , I said .

My cousin just arrived from Europe .

Danes nostrils flared , and I knew he was scenting me .

That he could see how on edge I was .

He stepped forward and put one of his big hands on the door .

Ms.

DeVere , he said .

Under any other circumstances , hearing the way my name rumbled from his chest wouldve made me suppress a groan of pleasure .

Now , I just wanted him to stop looking at me with that dark , searching gaze .

Whats going on here ? My mind raced .

I could either try to block him from coming in , which would make him even more suspicious , or I could allow him to enter and look around .

I could introduce him to Evander -who , when Dane inevitably used his contacts to look him up- would come back as my cousin .

I stepped aside .

Evander , I called loudly , We have a guest .

Slowly , I stepped back from the door that led into my rooms , 2/5 Chapter 16 gesturing for Dane to enter .

Evander was seated on the couch with his ankle on his knee .

As soon as Dane entered , he rose .

Evander , I said , Let me introduce Alpha Dane Montague of the Blue Ridge Pack .

Hes our partner in the upcoming … project we have .

And this is his sister , Piper .
