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

Chapter 169 AURORA The house was unnervingly quiet as I stirred awake .

My eyes fluttered open to the faint glow of moonlight filtering through the curtains .

My heart raced though I couldnt place why .

A vague sense of urgency tugged at my mind , a pull I couldnt ignore .

I sat up , the bedsheets pooling around me .

The world outside was still , but inside , my thoughts swirled like a storm .

Id told Evelyn we would leave at first light but as the hours crept by , the waiting felt unbearable .

I didnt want either Trajan or Evander to see me leave , I dont want to cause them trouble .

I swung my legs over the edge of the bed , the cool floor grounding me .

My gaze flicked to the pearl pendant resting on the nightstand , its surface catching the faint light .

I reached for it , the weight of it familiar and reassuring .

The dream from the night before lingered in my mind , a silver light , a shadowed figure , and Dane , whole and untarnished .

Chapter 169 The vision burned like a beacon , urging me forward .

I stood , slipped into my boots , and pulled on my coat .

2/7 The decision solidified in my chest .

I couldnt wait until morning .

Every moment spent idle was another moment wasted , another step further from Dane .

I moved through the darkened halls of the pack house , my footsteps silent .

At Evelyns door , I hesitated only briefly before knocking lightly .

The door opened almost immediately , and Evelyn stood there , fully dressed and ready .

She raised an eyebrow , a knowing look on her face .

I was ready because I knew you couldnt wait till dawn , she said , her voice low .

I shook my head .

I dont think Ill be able to rest until weve tried .

Evelyn sighed , grabbing her sword from where it leaned against the wall .

Youre relentless , you know that ? And youre still here , I replied , a faint smile tugging at my lips .

She rolled her eyes but didnt argue , following me as we slipped out of the house and into the night .

The forest felt different in the dark .

The moonlight filtered through the branches , casting ceric patterns on the ground .

The air was colder and sharper , and the silence was oppressive .
