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

Chapter 204 AURORA His jaw clenched , and for a moment , I saw the flash of pain in his face … not from his injuries , but from the helplessness of watching me fight alone .

And with this , the Nameless presses his advantage , attacking relentlessly to shower his blows upon me .

With every strike , the lair ripples with the shockwave that forces the pack to huddle for protection behind crumbling walls .

Shes losing , someone says , his voice trembling .

No , Piper snaps , her tone razor sharp .

Auroras stronger than any of us .

Shell find a way .

But even as she says it , doubt flickers in her eyes .

I call on the Moon Goddesss power once more , the pendant at my chest ablaze with light .

The energy courses through me , wild and untrammeled , filling every corner of my being .

The strain is beyond endurance .

My vision blurs , my limbs .

shake , and my heart feels as if it will burst .

The Goddesss whispering in my mind is barely audible but relentless .

You cannot wield this power without cost .

Chapter 204 2/8 I dont care , I whisper , my voice hoarse .

I have to end this .

The Nameless roars , his body expanding , the shadows around him darkening , churning wildly .

His power is huge smothering .

I know this is it his last stand .

You will fall , he growls .

Words that boom like thunder in my ears .

You and everything you love will be consumed .

Not today , I return , putting every last ounce of energy I have into one final attack .

Light exploded from me in a blinding wave , merging with the shadows of the Nameless in that cacophony of clashing powers that had shaken the earth to its foundations .

Everyone went .

flying across the ground the lair crumbled with us .

The Nameless was screaming , dissolving as a form from under the flood of light , and for just one moment I felt a fickle surge of triumph … until the backlash did indeed hit me .

Energy surges back toward me , sheer force overwhelming … The scream is ripped from my lungs , a pendant shattered against my chest as the last of the Moon Goddess power leaves me .

Pain racks my body , but its the emptiness that really terrifies me .

The connection to the pack , the bond that has always been my anchor , is gone .

The lair goes silent ; the Nameless is defeated .
