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

Chapter 186 AURORA Oh please , not now , Dane begged within him .

I was trying to communicate with him but its like something happened .

Last I heard from him was a footstep was approaching and his heart was racing more and more with every step .

I just concluded in my mind that anything that wants to happen should happen .

All of a sudden , I didnt hear anything from him again .

Oh , I hope hes fine though .

Was it gone ? I thought .

The frozen metal of the engagement ring still disturbed my skin as I was escorted into the grand hall of the Namelesss stronghold .

Heavy with the darkness , the air was thick and choking .

Ancient runes etched into the walls provided the only illumination , their soft glow casting patterns across the gathered crowd of onlookers that had come to bear witness to this Chapter 186 nonsense of a union .

2/7 My dress felt heavy , its dark fabric laced with the same magic that pulsed through the ring on my finger .

It wasnt a dress , but a shroud , a binding .

Every step I took closer to the throne side felt like a step toward my doom .

Standing at the far end of the hall was Holden , his ceremonial robes showing the ominous decorations of the hall .

There was a gleam in his eye , but it wasnt triumph directed at me .

No , his gaze was fixed on the Nameless , an idiot basking in the approval of his master .

Smile , Aurora , the Namelesss voice coiled around my mind like a serpent .

His shadowy form materialized beside me , his presence sending a chill down my spine .

Let them see your joy .

I forced my lips into a thin , brittle smile , my fists clenched at my sides .

Good , he said .

Play your role well , and perhaps Ill let precious wolves live a little longer .

your My heart twisted , but I managed to keep my expression well hidden .

I did what I was obliged to do for now .

Every moment that I played along was buying time for something .
