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

Chapter 171 PIPER I entered Evanders quarters , my heart racing as if a noose of tension hung in the air .

My cheek was still stinging from Warricks outburst earlier , but the pain was nothing compared to the writhing tornado of emotions now twisting inside me .

Standing before the window , Evander was outlined against soft , gentle moonlight on a scarred visage , and his back turned to me .

His shoulders were hung tautly as though awaiting something , or rather , somebody .

Evander , I murmured before my voice could go away as my legs and body were already shaking .

He turned toward me , his eyes piercing , narrowing the moment they landed on me .

They shifted to my cheek and I watched his expression darken .

He did that , Though low , his voice carried a threatening tone in it .

Its nothing , I said quickly , waving a hand as if to brush it off .

I shouldnt have come here … Piper , he cut in , closing the distance between us .

Being near him was overwhelming , a mix of powerful strength and controlled anger .

Chapter 171 Speak to me .

His intense eyes made me nervous , and I felt my determination slipping .

Yes , it was Warrick , I said softly , shame firing up in my chest .

But its not what you think .

He was just … angry .

It wont happen again .

Evanders jaw clenched , his fists curling at his sides .

Angry ? he echoed , his tone unnervingly calm .

And what , you think that makes it all right ? No , of course not , I exclaimed , my frustration bubbling .

But its complicated , Evander .

You wouldnt understand .

Try me , he replied , leaving no room for debate .

I had to hesitate , my fingers intertwining in search of the words .
