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

Chapter 126 AURORA My stomach clenched and I looked down at the phone in his hand .

It was a picture of me .

At least , the back of me .

I was walking down the hall , away from a shirtless Holden , who leaned in the doorway of his room .

That moment felt so long ago now a moment that had happened back when Holden was still my friend .

Before I knew what depths he would sink to if it meant getting what he wanted .

I went very still .

How long have you had this ? A couple of days .

Danes voice was quiet .

I glanced up and noticed everyone had left the infirmary except the two of us .

And Evander , of course , who was still unconscious in the bed .

I fought back the urge to laugh hysterically .

I wasnt sure what to say , or what Holdens Alpha commands would allow me to say .

Holden- I tried to let it all out .

To tell Dane about the ceremony hed forced me through .

I tried to tell him I was Holdens mate , natural or not , and that I was a Fall Line wolf , Chapter 126 2/5 somehow , even though I had no wolf and technically couldnt belong to a pack like the others could .

As soon as I started , my throat closed .

I coughed and had to cover my mouth to keep from gagging .

Dan idnt reach out to comfort me .

Instead , he watched me .

I think he meant to be impassive , but I could see emotion buried deep in his eyes .

Something had happened to him since he left this room .

Something was wrong .

And somehow , I was only a small part of it .

cough subsided and I swallowed

My throat ached .

again

was the morning after I accidentally … and your grandfather …

want to remember how my actions had killed someone

going to exile

me from the twins

to see if my throat would close ,

gave me wine

I drank it .

the next morning

to maintain my cool exterior , but

coming apart

dont remember what

… He had said

slipped his phone into

but notice that he seemed to be Chapter

folded across his broad ,

in his

He implied we

eyes filled with rage

you to my grandfathers house that day , you said you hadnt been with anyone since me

been with anyone except me

Helplessness filled me .

know what happened

would have sworn Holden wouldnt hurt me

thats not

might have drugged me

did anything to me while I

didnt you tell me

hair on the back of my neck prickled

liked to think I was never in danger from Dane , but right now I wasnt actually sure

to tell you , but your grandfather

me into that

… I

up like a caveman and carted me off into the woods , to his grandfathers house

mind or my heart to think of anyone but

to reach out

his arms and to feel the comfort

hear him say he would protect me , and that together

I couldnt take that first step

reach out to

tainted by Holdens grip
