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

Chapter 187 PIPER Warricks voice hung in the air , filled with emotion I never knew he possessed … redemption .

I looked up at him , the darkness casting his face into shadow , but his voice was absolutely sincere .

For a moment , the calculated man I knew seemed to melt away into something , someone completely … different .

But there was no time for reflection .

Alright , I said finally in that low , even tone , lets see if youre a man of your word .

The slightest smirk teased at the edge of his lips , but he had said absolutely nothing .

We were deep in the forest now , trees wrapping us round like we were in some sort of living cage .

The air chilled , and a heavy atmosphere wrapped its noose around my chest .

Every step felt heavier ; each shadow was alive , pulsing , watching , and waiting .

I could feel the realm of the Nameless pulling us in , testing our resolve as we were entering his territory .

Warrick continued on his path , sure of his destination .

He said nothing , and I did not press him .

Chapter 187 My mind was still with Aurora .

Was she alive ? Or had my Journey brought me full circle to relieve a broken past ? 2/7 A low growl from the darkness froze me in my tracks .

Warrick raised a hand , his tense form demanding silence .

What was that ? I whispered , my grip tight on the hilt of my dagger .

Dark creatures , he muttered .

Theyre everywhere here .

Stick with me .

really didnt like taking orders from him but I didnt argue either .

Warrick might have been a slimy opportunist , but one thing hed heard right I had no idea what I was dealing with .

We walked scared , slipping between twisted trees , avoiding open paths .

Even the forest seemed to pulse with some weird energy , darker with every step taken .

Do you at all know where were headed ? I said in a low tone of voice .

Warrick half turned back to me , like it was nothing .

Ive been here before , he said .

There is a way into the Namelesss fortress , if you go in on the cand side .

Its not as guarded , but its not exactly easy , either .

believed me if I told you earlier ? 3/7

, from nowhere , or so it seemed , the faintest of sounds of rushing water somewhere and Warrick was gesturing for me to follow him in

very much like oil where it shined on

to one knee where it was at its verge , brushing leaves away to show a hidden path of stepping stones laid across

said , picking his way with caution

followed , my heart pounding at every precarious step

the thought that in its depths something lay and watched

we gained the far side Warrick straightened

breathing weirdly now , my hold tight on the dagger

You can feel it , cant you ?

4/7 I nodded .

like the air is alive

fear , he

his way of keeping intruders

squeezed between the huge boulders into a small , narrow tunnel chiseled in the side of the cliff

a dark substance ; the atmosphere was heavy , thick

be careful , as the only real sound was that of

a chorus

we made our way into a larger chamber and the dim light of the runes cast a little

I dont care .
