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

Chapter 196 DANE 1/7 I sat in my cell , feeling the sick glow of its walls pulse in time with the pounding of my head .

Heavy , my limbs were dead , it was as if even my body was too much for me to handle , too much weight in the world .

Then the air changed .

Chilled and different , the weight of the Nameless filled the air .

He laughed low , and twisted my stomach .

Ah , Dane , his voice disturbed my ears .

Shall we begin ? I didnt answer .

My jaw was held tight , face fixed into the burning shadows in front of me .

Youve held up admirably , the Nameless went on , his voice showing mockery .

But no one resists me forever .

Lets see how far you can bend before you break .

It darkened and darkened , until it swallowed me whole .

And then , the memories started .

Memory One : The Day I Lost My Family I was back in the woods behind my childhood home .

Heavy smoke filled the air ; the sharp smell of burning wood and flesh Chapter 196 suffocating .

I found her at the edge of the clearing .

Her body was laying over my younger sister .

Soaked in blood her dress was covered and her breathing shallow .

Run , she whispered , eyes glassy yet fierce , Run , and dont look back .

Frozen , my heart pounding in my ears , I said , No , I can save you ! You cant , she said , her voice shattered .

Dane , please .

Protect her .

But before I even had time to move , the shadow creatures descended ripping through the scene with ruthless efficiency .

I screamed , but no sound came forth .

The memory dissolved , leaving me gasping in the present .
