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

Chapter 32 AURORA I blinked at Esther .

None of that is true .

She gave me a pitying look .

If you say so , dear .

I dont want you to traumatize yourself , digging too deeply in the past .

Speaking of which … She leaned over and dug in the crate , then handed me a folded up piece of paper .

We found this when we were scavenging the old house one night .

It looks like old house one night .

It looks that page from your mothers nonsense journal you liked to play with as a child .

Wonderingly , I took the paper from her hand and slowly unfolded it .

It was only one page , not all three , but as the symbols glimmered in front of my eyes , some of them shaping into the word ceremony , I realized it was exactly the page wed been looking for .

Thank you … mother , I said .

Esther Reed smiled .

Like I said , darling .

Youve always been one of us .

Theres no reason you cant be again .

***** A Chapter 32 2/5 The Reeds took me back to the mansion Id bought .

When I walked in the door , Trajan and Evander practically fainted with relief .

To my surprise , the Blue Ridge wolves , led by Piper , were still there .

Didnt Dane call you back to the pack house ? I asked her .

No , she said .

I frowned at the dark haired woman .

I was so tired , and all I wanted to do was collapse into my bed .

It took me long minutes to figure out why Dane wouldnt have called them away .
