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 .

eyed Evander suspiciously , but my cousin grinned

heard good things

raising a surprised

gave him a cool little smile

wonder what

was hovering by the door , just nodded

my cousin Evander DeVere of the High Alpine

Evander up

looked back at me

forced a smile

needed him to

I hadnt known I was pregnant

took me to Europe ,

Id never considered ending my pregnancy or giving the twins up once they were born

them , and

still felt that way

thought about telling Dane so many

remembered him tossing birth control at me and telling me hed rather drink molten silver

they were born , I

hated me because of what he thought Id

believe he was better than allowing his hatred of me spread to

, or feel safe with him , no matter

, I never told him

, standing here with him in the room , I realized what potential mistake that

not

not when it came to

and then hidden them from him for four years …

me , like hed always promised he

he would absolutely try

I allowed that

keep

they were his a secret

the powerful relic
