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

Chapter 167 DANE The Namelesss presence was suffocating , even though it wasnt physically in the room .

It rarely needed to be .

There was no use of its physical presence .

Its voice was within me , a heavy , chilling whisper in my mind , wrapping around my thoughts and sinking its claws into my head until they felt like my own .

Youre wasting time , its chilling whispers echoed in my head once again .

A gnawing reminder that I had lost myself , I had lost my mind .

I ground my teeth as I paced the cold stone floor of the ruined castle .

The hell hole I am now confined in .

The dark wolves prowled around me , their silent forms .

flickering with dark energy , they reacted to my every move … as if I think they hear my thoughts .

They were restless as if they knew a war were waging inside of me They were mine or so I thought .

But when the Nameless spoke , I could feel their attention shift Chapter 167 2/7 also , their loyalty bending toward it like leaves reaching for the sun .

Or that this time it seemed to be the moon ? I need more time , I said out loud , my voice sharp , cutting through the dark silent air .

The darkness writhed but didnt retreat .

Time for what ? To fail again ? it asked .

My fists clenched .

The memory of Auroras touch , her scent , her voice calling me by name , it was all still there , buried under the darkness but refusing to disappear .

It wasnt supposed to linger .

It wasnt supposed to matter .

But it did .

Shes more powerful than you expected , I said , forcing my voice to stay steady .

She has allies , defenses I havent seen before .

If you want her pack , if you want the relic , we need to approach this differently .

Differently ? Or are you growing soft ? he asked .

The words hit like a punch and for a moment , I didnt respond .
