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

it Gifts Chapter 54 Rejected … 1/5 AURORA Danes face was filled with unspoken pain .

If I spend my entire life trying , I can never make up for what Ive done to you .

What ? My heart was frozen .

I couldnt believe he was saying this .

I couldnt believe he finally believed me in the exact moment I could no longer believe in myself .

How … do you know she lied ? I asked .

Dane gave my hands one more squeeze , then released them .

Like I said , I had the recording analyzed by a contact of mine .

Its not your voice .

Its a deep fake , created with other recordings they had of you and AI .

I hugged myself .

So , thats how she did it .

I had no idea how it could sound so much like me .

I guess thats it .

For a long moment , we both stood there in silence .

Finally , I asked , So , what does this mean ? Do you believe me about everything , now ? Everything Ive been begging you to believe for eight years ? Dane let out a slow breath and stepped toward me .

Im … working through it .

+ Chapter 54 2/5 I stepped back .

I couldnt let him touch me .

I felt like my whole skin was poisoned .

Like if he came anywhere near me , Id do what my shadow promised she would so long ago , and he would be destroyed .

Did I care if he was ? If I was finally the one with his fate in my hands , instead of mine in his , how desperately did I want to save the man who had tried to ruin me ? TRAJAN I looked around the massive cavern and let out a low whistle .
