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 gritted my teeth .

I know it couldnt have been one of my people .

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 .

, Id be much more likely to believe he was lying to protect her than
