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

Chapter 183 PIPER The forest seemed unnaturally quiet as if even the trees were holding their breath .

My heart beat fast in my chest , a steady drumbeat of caution and determination .

Every rustle of leaves made me flinch , my fingers twitching near the dagger Id strapped to my side .

Aurora was like a thin string pulling me onward .

I did not know in which direction I was going , but something made me feel I was close to finding it and I needed to be .

Moonlight filtered between the tree branches , casting patches on the forest floor that seemed to take fantastic shapes .

I stepped over a bent root , peering closely at every shadow .

Half my mind was with Aurora ; half of it was with Warrick .

Warrick .

Oh , Warrick .

Just the mention of him made me feel like vomiting .

I couldnt think about him now .

I took another careful step forward and felt the hair on my neck shoot to attention .

I wasnt alone .

Quickly I pulled the dagger out and held it defensively in front of me and I looked up to see Warrick , I staggered back a bit .

Chapter 183 Warrick , I breathed .

His tall body was in shadow , but the shine of his dark eyes was clear .

Hello to you too , Piper , he said smoothly , his voice annoyingly calm .

What are you doing here ? I asked firmly , my grasp on the dagger tighter .

He smiled as he drew closer , his movements cautious but not threatening .

I think you want to find Aurora , just like I do .

I squinted , keeping my blade raised .

Why would you want to find Aurora ? Shes the Luna of Broken Ridge , right ? he asked , cocking his head .

Her being found is important to all of us .

Or did you forget that ? I dont believe you , I snapped .

You only do things that benefit you .
