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

Chapter 37 Rejected 1/5 AURORA I staggered .

Evelyns face was lifted to the sky , her eyes wide in wonder .

Silver shimmered along her body , pooling and absorbing into her skin .

She seemed to glow .

I turned away , my hand going to my chest .

Be an adult about this , Aurora , my inner voice said , immediately trying to calm me .

Its all right that it isnt you .

Its good just to have the chosen .

But the neglected child in me , the unloved woman , the person who never was chosen , who never was enough , cried out at the deep pain of it , as familiar to me as my own heartbeat .

My own breath .

In that same instant , I took hold of myself .

If the pain was familiar , so was dealing with it .

I shoved it down .

I told myself to get over it , I was one of the luckiest women in the world .

I was wealthy .

I was part of the High Alpine Pack .

But without this ceremony restoring my wolf like my grandmother insisted it would … was I still the first choice for Luna heir ? Or would I lose my place to Lilliana ? Even if that did happen , I had my children .

There was nothing to stop me from getting a normal job and living a normal , human passing life .

Plenty of single women did it every day .

It would be a struggle , but as long as I had the kids , I would be fine … Unless Dane found out they were his , and took them from me , too .

All these dark thoughts passed in a few seconds as I turned away from the sight of Evelyn being blessed with power and caught my breath .

surrounding it .

As long as there was work , I could throw myself into it .

I would have purpose .

the last magic was absorbed into Evelyns skin , the circle of Blue Ridge wolves
