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

Chapter 185 DANE The runes on my chains glowed with an unrelenting glow , their rhythm steady as a heartbeat .

The Nameless had left me to the dark silence of the fortress but his words didnt leave me , his taunt biting into my thoughts like shattered glass .

I leaned back against the cold stone wall , closing my eyes .

The bond to Aurora glowed faintly , a fragile thread between us , but there was something else now , something darker .

It was like a nail beneath my skin , coming from her .

The engagement bond .

Id felt it the moment Holden slid that accursed ring onto her finger .

It wasnt just symbolic ; it was alive , and it was feeding off her emotions … but I didnt know what had happened till Aurora told me .

Damn it , Aurora , I muttered under my breath , my fingers tightening on the chains .

But even as I hated it , I could feel a thin vein of opportunity in that connection .

2/7 Chapter 185 It wasnt one sided .

The bond was fragile , but given the right Focus I might be able to siphon some of the power that flowed through it .

Perhaps even disrupt it .

I closed my eyes again , dragging up every ounce of concentration I could find .

The oppressive blackness of the layer crushed in around me and the dull sign of the engagement bond glowed in time with the runes on my chains .

Aurora , I thought , reaching for her down our bond .

Hang in there .

Im here with you .

Her presence trembled but was present .

Dane ? Her voice was a whisper , cautious .

Im going to try something , I said , keeping my voice even .

That bond Holden forced on you , I think I can weaken it .

But you have to let me in .

There was a pause and I felt her emotions through the bond : fear , frustration , hope .

If you think it will help , do it , she said finally .

I took a deep breath , centering myself in the rhythm of the engagement bond .

It was like a living thing , coiling and uncoiling as it pulsed with dark energy .
