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

Chapter 198 PIPER The relic glowed under the dim light that managed to sieve .

through the thick canopy .

There was something different about its glow , like it was some living thing which breathed power and danger .

I knelt before it , my fingers hovering over its rough surface .

Warricks voice cut through the stillness , sharp and angry .

Piper , dont .

You dont know what that thing will do .

looked at him , his face a mask of concern and frustration .

And if I dont do something , what happens then ? Auroras drowning , Trajans capture , Danes gone tell me , Warrick , what happens if I just stand by ? He moved closer , his hand reaching out to stop me , it seemed .

We dont even know what it is .

What if you make things worse ? I spun back to the relic , my jaw clenching .

Worse than this ? Ill take my chances .

Piper .

His voice gentled , almost pleading now .

This isnt the way .

I faced him fully now , anger boiling over .

And what is ? Hiding ? Chapter 198 Waiting ? Watching everyone around us suffer while we do nothing ? 2/7 His eyes searched for mine , and for a moment , I saw something unguarded there fear , perhaps .

Not of himself , but of me .

Im trying to protect you .

I faltered .

My determination stopped for one heartbeat .

Then I turned back to the relic .

I dont need your protection , Warrick .

Before he could say another word , I laid my hand on the relic .

In an instant , the air moved around me , thick and electric .

The glow coming from the relic brightened as its face rippled , like water into which someone had thrown a stone .

My ears whined with the low noise that grew louder by the second .

against my ribs , its rhythm matching the pulsing of
