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

Chapter 123 DANE 1/5 Wh … are you trying to tell me , Evelyn ? I asked .

Id known her for so long .

Id seen her happy , angry, smug , self righteous , and livid with rage .

She looked all of those things now .

She was always so confident , it felt wrong to see this worn look on her face , instead .
