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

Chapter 115 DANE I stood between Aurora and the oncoming rogues .

They were the same mysterious women wed met in the woods .

Power still burned through me like fire .

I wasnt exactly surprised to be one of the people chosen by the ceremony .

It felt like wed been in over our heads with gods and dark forces for a while now .

But that didnt mean I had expected it , or that I wasnt humbled by the goddesss choice .

Stand down , I growled to my pack .

They obeyed , parting so the women could come nearer .

The women stopped at the edge of the ceremonial circle that had been painted onto the grass .

There , they bowed .

Greetings , she said , To the goddesss chosen king and queen .

King ? No.

I had enough on my plate as Alpha of Blue Ridge .

I squared my shoulders and folded my arms across my chest .

There was nothing to say about the king comment , so I ignored it .

Are you finally going to tell us your name and who you are ? Their leader smiled .

Im Camila , and we are the shield maidens of the goddess .

Guardians of the queen .

Chapter 115 2/4 Confusion was written across Auroras face , and she darted a glance to where Evelyn stood up on the deck , watching us all silently .

But there were two women chosen .

Are we both- ? Camiles eyes flashed to Evelyn .

No , she said to Aurora .

Youre the queen if queen is even the right word for it .

I can feel it in the magic that binds us together .

She is the First Shield .

Our leader .
