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

Chapter 21 1/6 AURORA Dane lifted a hand and carefully traced the place three pages had been torn from the book .

The surrounding pages were splotched with an old , rust colored liquid .

Blood .

I had flipped through this book hundreds of times , trying to figure that out myself .

But I thought I knew .

The Reeds gave me this book because they said it was full of old scribbles .

They didnt think it was important .

I dont remember much about when they gave it to me because I was young .

That was only part of the reason .

So much of my life before marrying Dane was lost to me .

But I think I remember Esther Reed saying she tore them out .

Now I touched the torn places .

The book had been written hundreds of years ago .

Someone might have been able to translate it , if it was written in a language .

Instead , it was written in a code made of strange symbols .

As I got older , I discovered the symbols were revealing themselves to me .

Its an old gift that runs in our pack , my grandmother says a gift of magical interpretation .

From what Ive been able to read , the pages beforehand describe the setup for a ceremony .

The pages are the ceremony , itself .

Chapter 21 A ceremony ? Dane asked .

I nodded .

The ceremony is to reveal the moon goddesss chosen .

2/6 Why would Esther Reed take these pages if she couldnt read the book and didnt know how important they are ? Dane asked .

I dont know .

I spent almost twenty two years thinking I was their biological daughter .

Everything they ever told me was a lie .

Except that I couldnt trust the Montagues .

I did remember them saying that .

Over and over again .

Then they made me Danes wife and tried to control him through me .
