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 .

I had a mission .

And I would never allow myself to be weak in front of Dane .

His jaw set .

Even the Reeds couldnt raise a child like this .

I walked over to him and faced him .

Walk over to the bed .

Theres a loose brick on the wall three up and two over from where the bed touches the corner .

If you move it , youll find a little space where I kept my treasures .

I tried to remember what Id had stored back there on the night they poisoned me , killed my wolf , and set me up as bait for Dane .

A few quartz crystals , an acorn , maybe a few coins will be in there .

Dane gave me an unreadable look , then stalked past me to the corner Id indicated .

There was a grinding sound as he pulled out the brick .

I watched him , staying far back in the door so he couldnt accuse me of planting anything anywhere .
