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

Chapter 113 AURORA Once again , the moon was rising .

I was surrounded by 100 wolves .

I stood on the grass of the Blue Ridge pack house in my bare feet , my face upturned .

It wasnt summer this time , but the edge of autumn .

The air smelled like dry leaves and damp earth and the breeze was cool .

But like last time , the sky was clear .

It was perfect for calling on the goddess .

The wolves of Blue Ridge were in place for the second and third ceremonies , which had been rolled into one larger one that would determine the identities of the goddesss final two chosen .

Dane stood in the same special place in the circle as last time -a place where he could raise and concentrate the power the goddess gave her Alphas .

I met his eyes .

I think both of us were trying not to remember the last time , and what had happened after .

How his grandfather had been attacked by shadow spirits .

To ensure that didnt happen again , we had contacted two witches that worked with Blue Ridge in the past .

They worked all day , placing protections around the grounds closest to the pack house .

Chapter 113 2/5 I wasnt sure what they could do against the darkness we battled , but at least this time we were trying .

We also had wolves looking out , keeping an eye to see if any strange magic began happening anywhere on Blue Ridge land .

Just like last time , when the moon climbed to its highest point , I signaled the wolves .

All around me , torches lit.

When every single one held a flame , I raised my arms and called on the goddess .

The first time wed held this ceremony , I had hoped and prayed I would be chosen , and that in choosing me , the goddess would return my wolf to me .

I didnt pray for that anymore .

I didnt even want it .

With my wolf , I could only imagine that Holdens control over me would grow stronger .

Wolves were always eager to obey their Alphas .

And what if she accepted him as a mate ? Revulsion rolled through my body .
