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

Chapter 39 AURORA In the confusion of the attack on Connell , Dane and I both forgot about the amulet .

Once it was clear Connell was alive but not going to regain consciousness , I returned home with Trajan and Evander .

When I told my grandmother I wasnt the chosen , she got very terse .

Then she hung up on me .

My hands trembled as I set my phone down , but I chose to push her reaction from my mind .

She hadnt called me home .

That meant Id keep moving forward .

The children arrived home that evening , and the next day I spent re examining the journal and the page Esther had given me as Trajan stood just inside my door , dutiful and quiet as he always was .

I didnt turn up anything new .

Argh ! Im a pirate Alpha ! The twins came running into my room .

Tristan had a wooden sword and was chasing Seraphina , who screamed with laughter .

Mommy , save me ! she giggled .

Chapter 39 I smiled and set the book aside , scooping her up .

I was more than glad for a distraction .

Youll never take us alive , pirate Alpha ! Come on , Trajan ! Help me be a pirate ! Tristan called .

2/6 Ill keep watch on the ship from here , Alpha Caplain , Trajan replied stoically .

But I could see the small smile on his face .

We ran around the room , laughing and playing until Evander showed up a few minutes later .

Goddess , theyre fast , he panted .

I just wanted to take a shower .

I thought they were watching a movie .

I smiled .

Evander was excellent with the children , but he was a pack warrior , not a full time nanny like Mrs.

Melville had been .

Finding her replacement wouldnt be easy .

Youre doing great , Evander .

Thank you .

He took the kids to eat lunch and I sat down to work again , but I couldnt seem to focus .

I decided to go to the High Alpine offices in Atlanta and do some work there , instead .

Trajan drove me .
