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

Chapter 188 DANE The chains creaked , the runes flashing , brightly as I pulled against them with every last shred of strength I possessed .

Auroras faint cries echoed in my head , pushing me on .

The bond between us glowed with pain and fear but there was something else there , beneath it all , stronger .

Determination , Hang in there , Aurora , I said with clenched teeth .

The power Id sucked from the engagement bond moved through me , wild and volatile .

I had no idea how much longer I could hold it in but I did know I needed to try .

My fingers dug into the glowing links , the runes moving against my skin .

Come on , I growled , the strain tearing at my muscles .

The chain snapped on one final surge , the runes light dying out like a candle .

I buckled in my knees , but caught myself , the signs of adrenaline and ultimate power coursing through me .

Dane ! Auroras voice came weak , but alive .

I turned to see her slumped against the wall , her wrists bound in glowing cuffs .

Chapter 188 217 Trajan and Evander lay not too far off , their breathing shallow Their bodies bearing the accursed runes of the Nameless .

Dont move , I said , my voice firm .

Auroras eyes went wide as I drew closer to her .

Dane , what are you doing ? Youll hurt yourself ! Ive got this , I assured her , though my hands were shaking like leaves as I reached for the cuffs .

The instant my fingers came into contact with them , a surge of dark energy coursed through me , sending me stumbling .

But I didnt let go .

I reached out and grasped the bond between us , that flicker of hope which refused to die .

The cuffs cracked and then shattered , falling off her wrists .

She slumped against me and I grabbed her close against the warmth of me .

Are you okay ? I whispered .

She nodded weakly .

We need to get Trajan and Evander out of here .

I turned to them , their faces pale , their breathing labored .
