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 .

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