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

My throat ached .
