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

Chapter 202 1/7 AURORA The battlefield is chaotic , twisting , filled with shadows running around us , their weird motions somehow uniform , as if dancing to some unheard command .

My heart pounds fast as I let loose another burst of energy into the chaos .

The earth shakes under the force of my attack .

But its not enough .

The pack fights valiantly , their strength and resolve evident in every swing of a blade , and every clash of claws .

Yet I can feel their doubt , their hesitation .

Shes too unstable , a voice whispers behind me .

Were following someone who could lose herself at any moment , another mutters .

I clench my fists , the whispers cutting deeper than any blade .

We dont have time for this , Piper snaps , her tone razor sharp .

Standing beside Warrick , she stares hot daggers at the doubters .

Auroras the only reason were still alive .

If you cant see that , youre blind .

Chapter 202 2/7 And what if she loses control ? a wolf responds , lacing his tone .

with a thread of fear .

What happens then ? Ill tell you what happens , Dane says , pushing to the front .

Hist solid form and thick voice .

She saves us .

Because thats what shes always done .

The pack quiets , turning to look at both Dane and me .

Enough , I say , a firmness in my voice .

We dont have the luxury of doubt .

If we dont stand together , we wont stand at all .

The battle thickens , and the forces of the Nameless suddenly change and start pressing in harder .

Were holding our own , yet it feels like barely .

Each step forward becomes resistance , every victory overshadowed by another onrushing wave of the enemy .

Theyre endless , Warrick mutters , breathing quickly .

No , Dane says , gaze fixed on the horizon .

Theyre not endless .

Theyre anchored .
