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

Chapter 181 AURORA The Namelesss deadline weighed on me like a heavy load crushing my chest .

Sunrise was hours away , but it felt as though the light would never come .

My thoughts raced , each one more hopeless than the last .

Trajan and Evander were in unimaginable danger and Danc .

Dane looked as defeated as Id ever seen him .

I sat opposite him in the dark cell , my knees to my chest .

I could not bear the silence any longer .

Dane , I whispered , leaning forward .

My voice cracked but I didnt care .

We have to do something .

His head lifted slightly , his jaw tight as he stared at me .

You think I dont know that ? he muttered , frustration etched into every line of his face .

Then help me think ! I snapped , the words sharper than I intended .

I immediately softened .

Please , Dane .

Youre the only one whos ever outsmarted him .

You have to come up with something .

Dane exhaled heavily , pressing the heels of his hands to his face .

Aurora , Ive been trying , he said in a low , hoarse voice .

But every time I think Ive found a crack in his plans , it closes .

Its like hes always three steps ahead .

Then we have to find a way to surprise him .

There has to be something he doesnt expect .
