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

Chapter 49 AURORA The next morning , I finally found Dane .

He was in his home office , a room filled with heavy , masculine furniture and dark wood .

He leaned over his desk , writing something .

I paused in the doorway when I saw him , caught for a moment in the memory of the dream .

Of the way he wanted me in that place .

The way he claimed me without hate .

If only I could stop myself from having those dreams , I might be able to stop wishing he would love me .

I knocked politely on the door frame , and he looked up .

I thought I saw something dark flash in his eyes .

Something like … desire .

Then it was gone .

Aurora , he said in a polite tone .

How can I help you ? Its about yesterday .

His face hardened , but I continued .

When I found you with the children , I was actually looking for you for another reason .

The hardness faded and he looked at me with curiosity .

Really ? What reason is that ? Chapter 49 The journal .

Part of the back inside cover peeled up , and I found more writing .

I think this is more complicated than we realized .

2/6 Dane set down his pen and turned to face me fully .

He folded his arms over his chest and leaned against his desk .

Complicated in what way ? I lifted the book .

I can show you .

He gestured for his desk , and I moved forward to stand next to him .

I showed him where the cover paper had peeled away , and how there was writing beneath .

I showed him the symbols that had revealed themselves to me .

There are three , I said .

And it speaks of shadows and a prison or cage .

I think thats why were under attack .

Because were getting close to the thing that contains the relic , and the shadows are trying to stop us .

Hm .
