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

Chapter 17 DANE Evelyn preferred to stay in the city , so I made my way to the penthouse .

It wasnt the same one Id shared with Ann Aurora .

It was one Evelyn had picked out .

Somehow more filled with things and less homey at the same time .

At least , it never felt like home to me .

I walked in , still not able to get the sound of the child Id heard at Auroras house out of my mind .

Maybe because this pregnancy announcement had come right after and because Id had to learn it from the fucking internet .

Evelyn ! Im in here , baby ! she called .

She trotted into the foyer in a tiny little dress , grinning from ear to ear , then threw her arms around me before I could get a word oul .

# I took her by the shoulders and pushed her back .

Why the hell does the internet think youre pregnant ? Chapter 17 2/6 She blushed and stammered , suddenly out of sorts .

Her eyes got big watery .

Oh , no ! How did they find out ? Someone must have leaked it .

I was really looking forward to telling you first ! I stifled a growl that started low in my throat .

How can you be pregnant with my child ? I asked .

I havent touched you in over a year .

Her checks turned pink .

I know you said you needed time … but do you remember that night three months ago ? I knew which night she meant .

Three months ago was the eight year anniversary of the night the Reeds massacred my pack .

The night Id lost my parents .

My grandmother .

The night Id been forced to marry the woman who now called herself Aurora DeVere .

Slowly , I nodded .

As a rule , I never got shitfaced enough to lose control , because Alphas couldnt afford to make mistakes .

But that one night every year , I let myself go .

All the way .

I was too ashamed to face the memories .
