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

Chapter 52 AURORA Do you believe me now ? I watched Dane take in the bleak reality of my childhood bedroom .

Bare and cold , it made the parts of me that remembered the past want to break down .

Run away .

But I couldnt do that now .

Even the Reeds couldnt raise a child like this .

I walked over to him and faced him .
