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

Chapter 214 1/6 AURORA This is your moment , Aurora .

Choose now .

Its huge above us , its body indicating evil intentions .

Growling , it makes a sound that rattles everything in the air .

You cannot win , Luna .

Your hesitation will mean your end .

I press my hand against the heart , the pendant at my neck flaring weakly in response .

The warmth of the heart spreads throughout my body , settling my resolve .

Youre wrong , I say , lifting my head to meet the entitys glowing eyes .

I cant outrun my destiny , but I can shape it .

The entity lets out a roar , its form flickering as the grove reacts to my intent .

The pendant grows brighter , its light pushing back the shadows inch by inch .

I stand up , quivering , as if every muscle in my body is shaking .

The energy of the heart courses through me and the space brightens with an intense light .

It attacks , dark branches reaching for me , but I stand firm and direct the pendants energy into the heart .

Im healing the grove , I say , with unmistakable clarity in my tone .

This is the end .

Chapter 214 clearing .

The entity recoils its roar now a pained cry .

From within the entity , Kaels voice echoes , softer than before .

I see now what I could not .

May the grove guide you well .

The entity begins to unravel , the dark form disintegrating as it reverses back into the grove .

The turmoil about us begins to fade away , the moving roots stilling their frantic movements .
