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

Chapter 173 DANE I strode down the dark halls of his lair as the Namelesss commands replayed in my head .

His voice was a tempest and unrelenting .

The artifact is to be recovered tonight .

I want it in my possession before morning .

Ensure no interference from her .

Her .

Aurora .

Her name was a whispered plea wrapped in defiance that stuck with me .

The memory of her voice , her scent , her touch , things that were a strong pull to me from the abyss .

I growled low , forcing the thoughts away .

I was his weapon .

A vessel for his will .

Thats what I had to be .

The dark wolves at my heels moved silently , their golden eyes aglow , faintly in the dim light .

They were loyal to me , yet not completely ; their true master lurked in every corner , watching through their eyes .

Alpha Montague , one of the wolves growled , low and guttural .

The location is secure .

We await your command .

Chapter 173 2/7 Good , I said , my voice tight , authoritative .

Get ready to move .

I will be with you in just a moment .

It inclined its head and soundlessly disappeared into the corridors shadows , leaving me utterly alone .

I leaned against the cold stone wall , slapping my palms against it as if the touch could steady me .

My head was chaos , rent between the duty I couldnt evade and the love I couldnt forget .

Auroras face flashed before my mind , her eyes ablaze with fierce determination .

She was ready to risk all for me , for our family .

What was I ready to risk for her ? Shes your weakness , the Nameless had sneered once , his voice full of disdain .

Thats why I left her alive .
