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

Chapter 145 AURORA I fout him , my mind pulling back from everything this creature was , everything it wanted from me .

But he leaned over me , grinned , and inhaled .

Black smoke rose from my chest and curled into a ball of black obsidian that hung between us , like a dark mirror image of the pearl pendant that had channeled my power as a healer .

I felt my heart start to turn cold as one by one , my memories of the good things in my life began to wink out like dying stars .

Evanders easy smile .

Trajans steadying voice .

Dane kissing me .

Dane … My children laughing as I read them a story .

It was all slipping away .

No ! I cried .

I tried to fight him , to hold on , but it was like water slipping through my fingers .

My heart screamed for what I was losing and started to freeze .

To be his beacon of pain .

To spread it across the world .

I had to fight .

Desperately , I flung my mind , and my heart out , searching for an anchor .

Something to hold just a small part of me .

There was no moon tonight , only darkness outside the windows .

And yet … I suddenly felt the smallest touch of … something … and a voice whispered , Even in the darkest times , I am here .

I grasped that power .

It was all I needed .
