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

Chapter 48 AURORA I peered around the corner … But the hall was empty .

A door closed just where I was sure Id heard Evelyn .

I knew she was in there with someone .

Someone shed been kissing ? Was it possible ? Evelyn had been the bane of my existence for so long .

She was always there , putting a wedge between Dane and I , calling him away to spend time with her when he wasnt working , whining and asking him for things , then accusing me of gold digging , when I didnt have a fraction of what she did .

How could it be possible that she was cheating on him ? And if she was … was her child even his ? I pressed my hand to my lips .

Part of me wanted to barge into that room and find out for sure .

The other part … If I wanted to walk away from this with my children , I needed her to have his baby .

It was better if I didnt know .

If I knew for certain , I would have to decide whether or not to tell him .

I tucked this moment into the back of my mind .

Maybe Id have Trajan investigate .

Shed spent years lording over me .

It would be a welcome change to have something to lord over her .

After the incident with Evelyn , I tried to find Dane .

But he was nowhere to be seen .

Not in his office or his rooms .

The only other places I could think of that he might be were training … or visiting Piper and Connall in the infirmary .

I wouldnt disturb him in either of those places .

***** That night , I dreamed .

I was walking around the pack house again , searching for Dane .

All of the doors were thrown open , but the pack house was empty .

But moonlight shined through the windows , and I knew , somehow , he was here .

Find him … The words came from somewhere inside me … like something faint and distant and half forgotten was speaking deep inside

my mind .

stopped and looked

was that ? Chapter

the grand ballroom where the gala had been held

stood alone in the moonlight , holding out his hand

claw to

he wouldnt see

I reached the doorway

, he

, and

it , or why it felt so right in this

the house melted away and

the center of a raging river ,

leaves of the trees into a frenzy , and I swore I heard

what is

voice that had come from inside me

, like it came from the

silvery light , shining down on

? Where are we ?

48 I dont know

was gruff

was still

the ground crumbled away and

but it kept crumbling until there was no more room

ran into

water rather than share his space with me , but

on to me , he

into the water ,

my arms around his waist and buried my fast against the hot ,

would be gone and wed plunge into the river … But we

looked around , the river

in a moonlit clearing

still held me tightly

I think

gazed down

not letting

, at least , I

have what

he bent and kissed me , sweet and tender
