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

The gray light of dawn was filtering through the pack house as I entered Morwens cottage .

The scent of herbs and incense clung heavy in the air , combined with the acid bite of burned candles .

I sighed as I recalled my encounter with Dane earlier this morning , even though he had asked me to leave .

I could see in his eyes that he wanted me to stay with him , but even as I saw the longing in his eyes , I also saw the fear in them .

I had left .

But , I promise to go back soon , I must save him .

I pushed those thoughts off my mind and I raised my gaze to see Morwen standing at her workbench , her back to me , grinding something in a stone mortar .

She didnt turn , but said , I was wondering when youd come to me .

How the fuck did you ….

? I started , but she cut me off with a wave of her hand , her curls bouncing as she turned .

Youve been radiating energy like a bonfire in the woods .

Even the cats are on edge , she said , gesturing to a sleek black feline that glared at me from its perch by the window .

I took a steadying breath .

I had another dream .

About the silver figure .

At this , Morwens hazel eyes narrowed , and she set down the 2/7 Chapter 172 mortar .

Tell me everything .

I told her everything : how it pulsed with light , how I felt myself being drawn to it , and finally , the unmistakable vision of Dane .

Morwen listened , her face impossible to read , her hands clasped tightly in front of her .

When I finished , she turned away , pacing the tiny space .

This is no ordinary dream , she muttered .

That much I gathered , I replied dryly .

She shot me a look .

Im serious , Aurora .

This dream .

Its a message .

Or rather , a warning .

My stomach churned .

A warning about what ? Morwen stopped pacing and turned to me , her face unusually grave .
