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

Chapter 177 DANE The weight of the darkness pressed against me , an unrelenting force that felt as though it was crushing the life out of me .

The air was thick , the shadows pulsing like a living thing .

I sat slumped against the rough stone wall of my prison , my wrists still raw from the shackles that I had just managed to break .

The marks left behind were faintly glowing , a cruel reminder of the Namelesss grip on me .

But Auroras fear had reached me .

It hadnt been sharp or loud but rather a faint , trembling thread in my mind .

Still , it was enough to make my wolf stir , clawing at my insides with renewed urgency .

She was in danger .

I couldnt sit here and do nothing .

I glanced toward the far corner of the cavern , where a shadow creature lingered , its form flickering and unstable .

Unlike the others , which prowled with purpose and malice , this one seemed hesitant .

Its golden eyes never strayed far from me , watching as though waiting for something .

My wolf growled softly .

This one could be the key .

I forced myself to my feet , my legs trembling beneath me .

Every movement was a struggle against the remnants of the Namelesss magic , which seemed to seep into every crack of my 2/6 Chapter 177 being .

But I straightened my spine and called out .

You .

Come here .

The creature froze , its shifting form stilling for a moment before .

I know you can understand me , I said , my voice low and steady .

Youre not like the others .

It didnt speak , none of them did but the way it tilted its head gave me hope that it was listening .

I felt her , I continued , taking a slow step closer .
