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

Chapter 203 1/7 AURORA I nod , fighting down the sorrow welling in my throat .

No time to mourn yet .

The pack turns to me once we gather into some sign of formation , seeming to await directions .

My body seems to do its own thing , though inside , I remain in a bubble of disbelief .

But then , the pendant around my neck begins to glow , its light brighter than ever before .

A familiar warmth spreads through me , and suddenly , Im standing in the silver meadow once more .

The Moon Goddess appears , her form radiant and serene .

Aurora , she says , her voice filled with both sorrow and hope .

You stand at the precipice of destiny .

I fall to my knees , the weight of everything falling hard upon me .

I cant do this , I whisper .

Im not strong enough .

You are stronger than you believe , she replies , kneeling before me .

But strength comes with sacrifice .

Her words hang in the air , heavy with meaning .

What do you mean ? I ask though I fear the answer .

Chapter 203 2/7 The power within you is not to be used lightly , she says .

To fully merge with my essence , to use the strength that will help you defeat the Nameless , you have to give up your mortal life .

I catch my breath .

You mean … Ill die .

She nods , her face soft but unyielding .

Your spirit will live on , to guide and protect your pack .

But your time as Aurora will be over .

Her words fall heavy upon me , crushing .

Pictures flash through the eye of my mind : Dane , Piper , Warrick , and the pack .

I think of the battles weve been through , and the bonds that have formed .

And then I think of Holden , of his sacrifice , of the peace in his eyes when he made his choice .

How can I leave them ? I whisper , tears streaming down my face .
