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

Chapter 18 AURORA Two days later days during which I did everything I could to keep the twins out of the way of the wolves from the Blue Ridge Pack Trajan and I were on our way to dinner with vampires .

Since Dane was my partner , I hesitantly agreed to contact him about it the morning of the dinner .

His Bela , Archer Fox , informed me that Dane was out of town .

The Mannerings were an old vampire family who had lived on the edge of Atlanta for years in an old , crumbling mansion that dated back to the Civil War .

Trajan and I pulled up the long drive just after sunset .

The vampire home wasnt as isolated as the pack houses wolves preferred , but it was still on its own deep in the woods .

We went to the door .

Before we could knock , it opened .

A voice drifted out it was breathy and old , and I couldnt tell if it belonged to a man or a woman .

Please , come in … I moved to step inside , but Trajan put a hand on my arm and met my eyes .

Let me go first .

I nodded , suddenly tense as he went in .

Chapter 18 2/6 Id had a few dealings with vampires before .

They werent nearly as common as wolves , and they didnt care as much for the modern world .

But what they did have was ancient knowledge .

If you ever needed information about a treasure , a curse , or anything like that , vampires would know .

If you dared enter their lairs and risk being killed , you could learn many things .

That was why I was here because my grandmother had gotten word from some of her own vampire contacts that this family might know more about the power we were after .

All we knew was that it was ancient and buried beneath the Appalachian Mountains .

That it was supposed to bring magic back to the world which would make already magical creatures even more powerful .

Trajan glanced back and nodded to me , and I slowly followed him in .

Theres a certain feel to vampire homes .

Opulent wealth thats decayed .

Ancient knowledge .
