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 .

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 .

And this is his sister , Piper .
