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

Chapter 30 AURORA Violence .

I wanted , with all my heart , all my soul , all my body , to do something violent to Esther Reed .

Never in my life had I experienced such a blind rage .

I held on to that anger , because if I didnt , I would fall to the ground and cry .

Why ? I asked .

My fists were clenched so tightly my arms trembled .

Why are you doing this ? Why wont you just let me go ? Esther looked confused .

You were getting too close to the enemy .

Too close ? I nearly shrieked .

You and Papa I mean Waylon -are the ones who forced me to marry him ! You were supposed to marry him , Ann , Esther almost sounded like she was pouting .

You werent supposed to forget everything about this family and who you are .

Who you serve .

What your purpose is .

I have no idea what youre talking about ! Chapter 30 2/5 Esther smiled .

It was a smile I remembered the smile she used when she wanted me to believe she was a good , loving mother .

Untie me , sweetie .

Ive got some things I want to show you .

With no other choice , I did .

I untied her .

Then I let her lead me somewhere Id never been .

The Reeds new pack house .

This is where you live ? I asked .

We were near the top of a low mountain .

To the east , the sun was turning the sky pink with dawn .

I was exhausted , sad , angry , confused … I needed to get to my babies .

I needed Trajan .

I needed sleep .

Instead , I was in the wilderness , following the woman who had spent my childhood abusing me , because it seemed like life always brought me back to her , and I had no other choice .
