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

Chapter 199 DANE The air in the Namelesss fortress is thick with malice , clinging to my skin like a second layer .

Every breath burns , the oppressive weight of dark energy seeping into my bones .

My body aches from the strain , the wounds on my side pulsing with a steady rhythm that reminds me just how close Ive come to breaking .

But something is different tonight .

The shadows are uneasy , moving strangely , like theyre sharing secrets .

I press against the cold , rough wall of my cell , muscles tight .

Thats when I noticed it : a soft light in the darkness , a shape hard to see among the shadows .

At first , I thought it was one of the Namelesss creatures , a miserable servant trying to hurt me .

But then it speaks , its voice low , rough , and unsure .

You … are not like them .

I stop moving , my heart pounding in my chest .

Whos there ? The figure steps closer , its shape becoming clearer .

Its a Chapter 199 is pressed against the cold stone as footsteps sound nearby .

Keep moving , it whispers , its voice very soft .

3/6 I force myself to keep moving , ignoring the sharp pain in my side .

Once , we almost got caught .

A guard turns a corner just as I sneak by .

The creature covers me , its dark shape surrounding me like a cloak .

The guard stops , its empty eyes looking down the hallway , before moving on .

That was close , I say quietly , my breath shaky .

Too close , it answers , sounding a bit frustrated .

Sometimes , I must make decisions on the spur of the moment- to duck into a side passage , to leap over a breaking ledge , or to dash across some open space .

Each choice appears as if it could be my last , but we press on .
