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

Chapter 211 AURORA But know this : the grove will not forgive hesitation .

Kael steps closer , the silver , blue luminosity of his being like an aura .

His ghostly form shines a little , as if he were stuck between realms .

The weight of so much sorrow and power hums the air around him , weighing upon my chest .

You wear the clothes of my failure , he says in a voice low and full of repentance .

Perhaps I can make amends .

His presence is overwhelming , commanding , yet filled with sadness .

I feel Dane shift beside me ; the tension in him is palpable .

What do you mean , atone ? I ask , the steadiness of my voice showing the whirlwind in my stomach .

Kaels golden eyes lock onto mine .

Let me explain .

I wrap my arms around myself , to steady myself , and to shield from the signs of emotions his words stir .

He steps closer to him , and his eyes soften ; the towering form almost in the middle of the tree .

I have tried for centuries , have watched the pack pay for my arrogance .

I failed them .

I failed you .

The pulse , like a glow out of the heartbeat , accelerates its pulsations inside the heart as if the clinching roots of trees in this place get tighter and their actions suddenly wild .

So , now what ? I say , my tone rising in frustration .

You think showing up now changes anything ? That Ill just trust you to make it right ? Kaels face doesnt waver .
