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

Chapter 166 PIPER The mirror in my room reflected the bruise on my cheek .

It was light , but I could still see it even after putting on powder to hide it .

I didnt like that it was still there .

It reminded me of Warricks anger and my mistake in trusting him .

A knock sounded on my door , loud and eager .

I knew it was him before I even opened the door .

Warrick didnt wait to be invited in , I then stepped across the threshold , and as soon as I turned the knob .

T Piper , he said , his voice low but filled with irritation .

What you doing up here ? You should be with the others showing unity .

are I crossed my arms and kept the door open behind him .

Unity , Warrick ? Like what you showed me last night when you grabbed me ? His face became serious and for a moment , I thought he might deny it .

Instead , he let out a sharp breath , his hands moving at his sides .

Chapter 166 Youre making this a bigger deal than it is .

Am I ? I moved a bit closer , making him look at me .

Because I dont believe its right to leave marks on me at all .

He tried to reach for me , but I stepped back .

Piper .

he said , his voice becoming gentler .

You know how much stress Im under .

You know what this alliance means for both our packs .

I cant have you doubting me all the time .

That doesnt give you the right to touch me like that .

I said , my voice trembling even though I tried to stay calm , as I stepped up to him .

His jaw tightened but he didnt respond immediately , he stepped back from me and looked away .

Not once .

Not ever .
