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

Chapter 192 PIPER We cant keep losing like this , Aurora said .

There was a weight upon the air of Broken Ridge , the kind that clung to skin and stirred fear in the lungs .

Wherever I looked , there were wolves in motion , but they moved .

slowly , heads down , spirits beaten down .

The Nameless had left more than a scar than that which seemed superficially apparent on the flesh of our pack .

I stood near the edge of the forest , watching as some of the younger wolves worked to patch up broken defenses .

They avoided my eyes and I knew why .

My connection to Warrick , however strained , had made me suspect .

The crunch of leaves behind had me scared and quickly I already held a dagger in hand .

Warrick stepped out of the darkness , his face pale , his shoulders sagging with exhaustion .

Do you believe me now ? he said , his tone as though he hadnt had water in days .

I narrowed my eyes and kept my dagger raised .

Believe you ? Why would I ? Chapter 192 2/7 His lips twisted weirdly into a worn smile , but it didnt touch his eyes .

Because I put my life on the line for you .

For all of you .

After you betrayed us , I growled , taking a step closer to him .

You made it very clear that you were with the Nameless .

You said it yourself it was just business .

Warrick let out a deep breath , rubbing a hand over his messed up hair .

It was just to deceive him .

A means of making them believe , buying enough time with them so I could help you afterward .

I hissed and shook my head .

Youre full of it .

Youve always been selfish , Warrick .

Why would I think youve suddenly grown a conscience ? He moved in closer to me ; the black eyes locked with mine .

Because I am here , am I not ? Surviving their wrath because of an urge to warn you ! You only survived because you ran ! I hollered now .

His jaw clamped down , and for a second , I wondered if he would snap at me .

Instead , his shoulders loosened , his arms swinging open wide .

You can hate me all you want , Piper .

However , the fact is , I am here , and I can help .

Before I could shoot back another reply , Auroras voice sliced Chapter 192 through the tension .
