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

Chapter 194 1/7 AURORA The turmoil in my head .

I stayed on the edge of the bed , drawing my legs close up against me … the weight of Holdens words still heavy upon me .

Why did every door , every open door in life always have to come with some type of price ? I held the pearl pendant that lay against my chest , it had a cool surface .

The thought of having to deal with Holden felt like a touch of acid in my stomach .

There had to be another way , yet every avenue was covered in the shadow of the Nameless .

My thoughts went back to Dane .

He would always know what to do … he did .

I closed my eyes and reached for the bond between us , that fragile connection that was my lifeline during dark times .

Dane , can you hear me ? Silence .

I balled my fists , harder yet , and pushed every piece of energy I Chapter 194 2/7 had into that bond .

Sweat trickled beading on my forehead , and again and again , I hollered to him with : Dane , please … I need you .

Just answer me .

Still , nothing .

It felt weak and distant , something that was slipping ever more out of my grasp .

Frustration settled in my stomach .

I was tired , my strength reducing , the breaths reducing .

The room spun slightly as , voice shaking , I tried once more .

Dane , I whispered , hands shaking .

Please … I just cant do this without you .

The pearl pendant at my neck began to warm against my skin , and that was miraculous enough to freeze me in place .

I looked down at the thing in wonder as its glow intensified .

What in … The words wouldnt get out before the light enveloped me , bright and overpowering .

The room was gone , replaced by a huge sea of light colored silver bursting .

The air glimmered , thick with power , and then she materialized .

The Moon Goddess .

Her form was ethereal , slipping from a shining , silver figure to a Chapter 194 3/7 softer , maternal presence .

Her eyes settled on me , piercing yet kind .

Aurora , she said , her voice coming from all directions at once It seemed .

I fell to my knees as the overwhelming presence made my heart shift .
