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 .

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

I continued ,

Not once .

Not ever .

shot his gaze to me , a dangerous mix of anger and something else ,

hold his gaze even though every instinct screamed at me to kok away , for me to give up and not push too hard ,
