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

Chapter 205 AURORA Eliass smile dissolves , and in its place , he offers a more somber tone .

Truth isnt free , Luna .

Sometimes that price is the thing of hours wasted .

Sometimes that price is- His voice trails off and his gaze latches onto mine .

I look over to see Dane , where his jaw stiffens .

Sounds like a trap .

Perhaps so , Elias returned , his voice going low husky .

Yet it is a trap you cant afford not to answer .

Piper steps forward , her curiosity outweighing her caution .

If this stone is so important , why hasnt anyone heard of it before ? Because some truths are better left forgotten , Elias replied .

But the balance has shifted .

The time for ignorance is over .

Warrick scoffs , his arms crossed .

And were just supposed to take your word for it ? You can choose to walk away , Elias says , his gaze sweeping over all of us .

But know this : without the heartstone , youll never understand the curse .

And without understanding it , youll never break it .

I reach out hesitantly , my fingers brushing against the cool surface of the stone .

The pendant on my neck , which got shattered during the battle , suddenly flares into life , sending brilliant rays of light over the runes .

The stone trembles beneath my touch , the runes shifting and rearranging themselves into a script I dont understand .

Whats happening ? I asked , shaking .

Elias stepped closer , his presence unnervingly calm .

The stone is awakening , he said , his voice low and almost predatory .

Careful , Luna .

Once you uncover the truth , you cant unsee it .

Suspense hung thick in the air as the stones light grew brighter , illuminating secrets that have long been buried .

The stone beneath my fingertips is cool , the surface smooth except for the ancient runes deeply carved into its face .

Where my touch has lingered , it fills the air with a deep resonating sound .

The thrumming vibrates through my chest and shakes the earth beneath us .

The forest falls silent .

With every sound of the rustling of leaves , the birdcalls deep in the forest come to a complete stop , as if the world itself strains to listen .

Let go , Aurora , Dane snaps , one step forward , his eyes wide , Chapter 205 his body tense .

This feels wrong .

before he can reach me , Elias raises a hand ,
