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

Chapter 73 AURORA Panic rising , I dug around for the papers .

I knew they were in my top desk drawer .

Id been so specific .

about leaving them there .

Then I saw them not in a drawer at all , but on top of a paper organizing tray .

I wanted to snatch them up , but the paper was old .

Yellowed and brittle with age .

Carefully , I lifted them and set them I the center of my desk .

You found them , then ? Dane asked .

I flicked my eyes to him , then back to the papers .

That wasnt where I left them .

Im certain of it .

Dane frowned .

Are you ? Yes , I insisted .

I flared my nostrils and scented , but without a wolf , there was no way if I could tell someone had been in here .

Seeing me , Dane did the same .

Then he shook his head .

There are no scents here but you and your pack .

I gritted my teeth .

I know it couldnt have been one of my people .

I trust them completely .

2/6 Do you trust them more than you trust your own memory ? Because either it was them , or you were mistaken about where you put the papers .

I wavered , uncertain .

I knew who I suspected : Evelyn .

My eyes went wide .

There was a chance and not a small one- that Dane could scent Evelyn in here , and he just wasnt telling me .

I searched his face, trying to gauge whether or not he might be lying to protect her .

It would be far , far from the first time .
